  • disney world sounds boring and expensive tbh
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    I was at Disney World before

    it's pretty fun, but I agree that it's more expensive than it's worth

    and legoland is much better

    Well I am just here to investigate the simulacrum and the deterritorializing forces of capital. Obviously.

    Legoland is pretty cool. Hey, Mo/Imipolex G/any other Pennsylvanian heapers, have you ever been to Kennywood.
  • honestly anything called "The Tiki Room" is probably worth the price of admission.

    Pretty much all of that.

    no.

    I've been to Hershey Park but that place isn't great.

    (also Dorney, which is barely worth a mention)

    YOU SHUT YOUR HERSHEY'S PARK HATING MOUTH

    It has air that smells like chocolate, and the Wild Mouse.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    is pennsylvania a nice place
  • I should clarify that I sort of hate amusement parks in general. 

    I have heart problems so can't really risk going on rollercoasters or anything else that's "high octane". I like the zoo component which I remember it having though. 

    Also they had a chip stand and the chips from there were good, but all in all I was mostly bored that day.

    if you live in the city and can thus visit the beautiful countryside at will, sure, if you live in the country and find it hard to escape from, fuck no.

    also god help you if you live anywhere near the Amish communities.

    There are worse places.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    i'm not a fan of rollercoasters but water park stuff is pretty great
  • not a fan of any water park thing that isn't just a straight up pool.
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    oh man, water park slides are fuuuun
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Wave pools!

  • honestly the only time I liked to be wet is when I'm relaxing (don't take that out of context).

    Thus, I am all for lounging at a pool, but waterslides don't much interest me.

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I have been to Kennywood, but not recently. Can't really remember it.

    Hershey Park was boring as hell, as previously indicated

    The main thing I noticed about It's A Small World as an adult is how much, well, smaller it looked.

    Do you remember Noah's Ark?

    Of course not, that was long before I was born.
  • i don't like amusement parks or water rides or pools or anything. if i am not taking a walk, going to the library or a museum or going shopping i don't like leaving the house.


    i would like to go to to the Guggenheim someday.

    What Mojave and Odradek said is pretty accurate. Philadelphia is cool but some parts are flat-out scary; the countryside can be nice but it's not much fun to live in; and the suburbs range from convenient and somewhat boring to just awful.

    But that's just the East. The West is a somewhat different kettle of fish.
  • Off of work, Today was George Washington Carver.

    also the MOMA and the Cooper–Hewitt

    I like swimming, but otherwise I can sympathise.

    The Guggenheim is pretty cool. Wish I'd spent more time there...

    We should visit New York together some day.
  • I have been to a museum only once. I saw an exhibit on Thomas Chimes at the Philadelphia Art Museum when I was in sixth grade, his work has stuck with me in some ways.

    they aren't rumors

    pretty much anywhere out here that isn't Allentown, Jim Thorpe, Lancaster, or some other large city is really rednecky.

    You should go there on the first Sunday of the month sometime, seeing as it's free then. It's a great place to go.

    Yeah, there are some really hickish, freaky areas in south-central Pennsylvania. Anywhere east of Reading to State College, really; the former city used to have one of the highest KKK populations in the country back in the day.
  • did i ever tell yall that my mom worked (or interned? idk) at the U.N. at one point?

    That's cool. A relative of mine (I want to say a great-uncle, but my family tree is large and after awhile such distinctions become meaningless) briefly did too, though I don't know in what capacity.

    I've been meaning to watch it, since I've been looking for a decent Myst LP.

    Used to? I wouldn't be surprised if it still does.

    Carbon County (where I live) is one of the worst areas in the country about incidental racism, but Reading and the surrounding area are just fucking scary.

    I would love for you to tell me more about this...

    Another thing that we should do!

    Naw, the West is pretty much the same.

    I never understood the suburb hate, though

    also that untitled Trisha Donnelly installation there is one of the few pieces of art i've ever seen in person that i have been utterly incapable of deciphering.


    it's just so ?????
  • most of the suburbs in PA (at least in the Lehigh-Carbon area) tend to be confusingly planned with lots of long, winding sidewalks that don't go anywhere in particular, and they also tend to lack any particular commercial buildings, making going anywhere on foot a pain in the ass.

    Yeah, it's not as bad now, but that's not saying too much given that my mom's family used to go up there to buy stuff for their farm at Zurn's and used to see people with Nazi flags on open display.

    Just looked this up.

    Is it the one with the sphinxes?

    It is.

    Yes, it is.

    I just don't know.

    that still happens, honestly.

    it's a combination of the demographics down there (mostly German- and Austrian- descended folks) and a sense that it's one of the last pieces of "real America" down there. I know people who have family down there and have been down there myself a few times personally, it's frightening.

    the small town of Ole on the other hand, is one of the few genuine examples of a nice, friendly rural area I've ever encountered in my entire life. There's a very old nontraditionalist Catholic church down there that used to be a great place to go to. It's one of only eight buildings in the town.
