Hey, I didn't get special mention for the jungle cruise ride? Man. Those hippo's are bloody dangerous they are! lmao!

oy, I'm sure nobody here's using google or wiki or anything like that. That just wouldn't be sporting now would it? Take me for example. Do you know how much useless information college has forced into my head? I just wait for new quizes to be posted so I can regurgitate it onto the boards. Oh that answer cost $100. Whoa! That one was worth $1000. And I'm going back for more!!! Somebody stop me! lol. Quick somebody post another quiz so I can purge some of this useless info out of my head!
