Top Ten SDC "Fixes"
« on: December 27, 2010, 05:43:10 PM »
Well....'bout that time again for SDC to close it's gates and make us painfully wait until season 2011 revs up. So....how do we fill that void....that space? How do we get that "fix?" Here are a few suggestions.....

10. Drive around the block of a burning building over and over again. (A victimless burning, of course)

9. Go to the local Bass Pro Shop or ol' timey grocery. Buy cartfulls of everything you miss at SDC (Taffy, honey, etc.)

8. Watch western movies that have saloon show scenes, just to watchthe saloon show scenes!!

7. Miss the crafts?? Go to the local Home Depot or Lowe's and watch the workers cut glass and lumber and make keys.

6. Go back through the many entries of the Top Ten "Ways to make your home more like SDC" and apply accordingly.

5. Watch the SDC "Beverly Hillbillies" episodes hours on end on a constant loop.

4. Buy a lot of non-perishable food, rent a "Johnny On The Spot"and get that first parking spot to be in line for the 2011 opening!

3. Join a website called SDCFans.com, gaze longingly at every picture posted within site. (Whoops...I guess we're all a little guilty of that one already, huh?! LOL!)

2. Drive through Branson....just to be near SDC!

And the number one "SDC fix:.....

Load Flooded Mine song into iPod, visit local state pen, listen to FM song as you walk down the cell blocks.

10. Play bluegrass music...everyday... all day long
 9. Tell everyone you know about these forums
 8. Talk to your mom about old rides and show her pictures from this site
 7. Scour the web for hours on end looking for old SDC pictures
 6. Watch the train ride on youtube (did that yesterday)
 5. Use all the jokes from the train ride every chance you get.
 4. Play the mineride song on the mandolin until your kids beg to go back to school.
 3. Go to every craft show you can find from now to mid March
 2. Hang out at Bass Pro every Saturday (Outdoor World OKC)
 1. Have a countdown timer (like they have for days till Christmas) programmed for opening day.

Here is my humble attempt.

1. Eat at a Cracker Barrel at least once a week.
2. Run out into a parking lot after a rain shower for that Silver Dollar City asphalt smell.
3. Go up to someone drinking from a water fountain, and yell “McCoys only, no Hatfields!”
4. Enter a candy store, and ask for homemade peanut brittle.
5. While waiting at a railroad crossing, shake your fist, and shout “Ugly!” when the last train car rolls by.
6. Put the “Fire in the Hole” theme as your ring tone.
7. When going out on a date with a girl you greet her with “Howdy Toots!”
8. You visit your aunt, nickname her Judy, and patiently wait for her to tell you her stories.
9. You go to the County Fair just for the funnel cake.
10. Before dropping a friend off in your car you say “Watch your head folks. You have a great past ahead of you, and enjoy your day at Silver Dollar City!” :)

In class when the bell rings I will say "Please push down then pull up on the lapbars exit to the left, and remember to take all your items before leaving"

Driver when you're clear!

The irony is most of the time I am the driver, and the emcee all in one. :P

When you are coming down your street announce "Is there anyone for parking Lot A?" even if someone speaks up, go right on to "B" ..."Okay one for B...and act as if your house is Lot B.

"Driver when your clear"

Did that coming out of the Kids high school parking lot the other day.
I thought I was the only one...

This is kinda like an SDC addicts support group.
