everything I learned I learned from SDC
« on: February 24, 2011, 01:08:49 PM »
I was watching across the universe at home and the scene where they are bowling came on and they were singin a beetles song right and I was singing along very off key and my son asks me momma where did you learn that and I sat and thought a moment and it hit me! Silver Dollar City is where I learned it. The Sons of the Silver Dollar sing a version of it and call it BeetleGrass. So I ask you what are some facts that you have learned from the city??
The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

Going through life one ride at a time.
Going to SDC since 1972, and loving every trip.

1) Hatfields and McCoys just don't get along.
2) Be careful around men who wear black hoods and carry torches. In fact, "run boys run, don't be slow, fire on the mountain, fire in the hole!"
3) Uncle Rube's invention holds all records for springing leaks.
4) The Rainmaker will let you watch his mule slobber for only twenty five cents.
5) At Jim Owens Float Trip you got to float the mighty James River, the only river to run in a complete circle.
6) Funnel cakes are the fifth food group.
7) "You sweat a little water, you sweat a little blood, and you might get out if the mine don't flood..."
8) Lye soap is equally good at cleanin' out young ones mouths as it is for catfish bait.
9) Ladies should turn their heads at Hobo Junction. (The other way, ladies!)
10) The folks at Wilson's Farm are mighty big swingers. ;D
"Howdy there folks! My name is Junior Dugan, and I'll be drivin' your diving bell!"

Uh, oh....Junior's cuttin' in on my Top Ten territory!  >:( :D  Watch it, Junior, or we might just haveta commence ta' feudin'!   :D ;)

I learned that there is no peace like the peace and serenity at SDC!

I have also learned that there has been no amusement park, park, or grounds that have had the magnetic pull that SDC does to me. Period.

Thanks to SDC, i have learned what relaxation & mind set is. And, what a out of control feeling is without drugs & alchohol. But the biggest thing i learned was NOT to tell ya'r new girlfriend she wont get wet on the ol' water boggen ride.. >:( Oh she was MAD.. it was her 1st time at the park since the 70s. We HAD TO go back to the motel just so she could change. :-X  Nothin' like a pissed off indian.... :o
