There is nothing like a good head-fake with the wrong directional for 'helping' create room to advance 1 car length in Mass pike traffic.

<<Northeasterners are crazy... I was unfortunate enough to be in the car with one when she was getting on a 4 lane highway.>>
Were not all crazy drivers. The northern NE states(VT,ME,NH) arn't bad. And we are not as often in such a hurry. Really what you have to look out for are the Mass drivers, even more so the ones from Boston up to the border.
Last time I was in Boston I was on my way out of a T-station (like a subway) going up the escalator and some guy knocked me over to get past me. I'm a tiny guy, only like 5'4, not a lot to me. There was plenty of room beside me to get past, but I was in his way and he was in a hurry. So down I went...
Oh how I hate Boston.

>>Northeasterners are crazy... I was unfortunate enough to be in the car with one when she was getting on a 4 lane highway.
Now see, you were lucky enough first of all, to be on a highway that had lines designated as a 4 lane highway. In some parts of Mass and Rhode Island, they don't put any lines on the roads to show the lanes, but its a four lane highway so stay on your side.
I'm still adjusting to down here in Florida, where the red and green lights actually stay lit longer, the off ramps are long enough to give you ample time to come in, and there are U-turns everywhere.
>>In fact, people in general up there seem to be in a hurry
We are trying to hurry up so we don't get hit by a hurricane or Blizzard, or someone doesn't take our parking spot, or we need to get to work but need to head to the DD first for coffee...you get the idea. Thats why I miss it up there so much.
>>There is nothing like a good head-fake with the wrong directional for 'helping' create room to advance 1 car length in Mass pike traffic.
AHAHA, I use to do that going into 95 north into Providence, I'd try to fake someone into another lane and then skip ahead.
>>Some people are catching onto my tactics.
After living there for oh 19 years...I was pretty much brought up on the tactics..and Mass drivers are worse then RI drivers any day, if we actually see eachother on the roads this is what is said in each car at the same time.

To be fair, if we could actually get away from the bumper to bumper parking on our freeways, CA drivers would show you what it is to drive fast.
Just as long as those semi trucks stay put fixed in the right lane with their 55 mph limit! ::mutters something about being stuck behind a big rig going 57 mph that's trying to pass a line of semis going 54 mph::

You have NEVER seen a New Englander during rush hour. Not only is it fast, its like Nascar on a major high way.

People in Massachusetts merge onto a freeway into a space that's one and a half car lengths wide at 80 mph. Swear to god. It's nerve-wracking.

Thats my biggest difference comming down here. Down here in Florida you get MORE THEN ENOUGH room to merge into a lane, in Providence we had about 3 seconds to merge or you were in an accident.

They changed the Tiki room now...its the "New Managment" Tiki room, which isn't as good as the old one. Bleh.

Yeah, the "New Management"..ugh...but at least they still sing that song...now it just has Iago in it :-\
I suppose things can't stay the same forever. I'm just glad that the one time out of a hundred when we went to Magic Kingdom that 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea was open and running. That ride was a little boring, but I'm glad I got to ride on it before they replaced it. There's a few others that have gone on..Dreamflight for one. I miss that one, although the new Buzz Lightyear is a hilarious ride. I think I have more fun on it than the little kids do. It's always fun when you hold the rotating joystick to one side so that the car spins round, and a-round, and a-round, and a-round...lol

<<Er...did they change the TikiRoom at Disneyland too? If so, I may need to protest.>>
It was closed the when I was there in October of 2004. I can't remember, but I think it was open in August of 2003.... anyhow, I won't mention how I never really liked it much. I still remember the first time I went there as a little kid, too...we waited sooooo long to get in.
My parents seemed to get a kick out of the tikitiki room, and I liked that it looked like it was rainy or sunny outside as needed...that was it. Very vivid memory of my mom in a bright green 70s style suit, my dad in his usual cowboy hat, and my sister and I pouting because we wanted to be anywhere but there (yeah, can you believe it? Me pout?)
If they close it, I'll be sorry only out of nostalgia, but not too sorry if they put something more fun there ; )
