You're snowbound at a hotel in the mtns in CO and your son is son is ill.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

So you....

[Hobarticus]

1. Where's "whack Scatman Crothers with a fire axe"?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

2. Good call.

This poll is inconclusive because that option was not included.

[blondeatlast]

17. Precisely. This poll is seriously flawed and I cannot respond. nt

[NNadir]

25. Me Neither.

Where's "Type thousands of pages reading 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?'"

[dolo amber]

3. I can't believe

I had to wait 30 MINUTES for my chalupa!!! :mad:

:nuke:

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

4. Way to stay on topic, Dolo....

That WAS a long wait though. DAMN!!!

[dolo amber]

6. What do you mean?

That's what I'd do... :shrug:

[MissMarple]

5. I'm female. I don't have a wife.

So...the snowcat it is. I really can't be sure Dick can hear me.
:-)

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

8. Yeah, but he's got the shine....

If he can stop gawking at that Leana Horn poster, he might just make a surprise trip from Florida.

[Midnight Rambler]

7. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

9. Smash up the CB, and drink with imaginary friends?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Imaginary?

[d_b]

10. you could start another thread

entirely on just what in the hell that picture from the 4th of July ball meant. I've always believed that it meant the Overlook owned Jack's soul.

What say you?

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

13. That's a thinker....

You're gonna have to give me a sec on that one.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. Question:

Are the chair lifts still running?

Timberline Lodge

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

12. No, the chairlifts are not still running

and dammit, you left your snowboard at home too.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. That's cruel and unusual punishment.

I think the only snowboard available at the time was a Snurfer.

Snurfer ads

I wish there had been Big Wheels when I was a kid. Pour some motor oil on the floor and do an extreme power slide down the staircase. Yee-hah! I blame society.

[Sugar Smack]

14. I'd start losing my shit early.

Like when my wife was skipping along beside me during the first tour and her grating voice bounced and echoed all over the place: "Gosh, hon, idn't this beautiful? I'll bet we could REALLY have a party in here!" *unnecessary little butt wiggle*

Oh, and I'd hide all the baseball bats.

[Sugar Smack]

18. HEY.

I'm snowbound in the mountains and my son is ill!

[latebloomer]

16. Redrum!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. I would skim board on the wave of blood

bra!

[Jara sang]

21. No beer and no T.V. make Homer go something, something...

[shesemsmom]

22. I think I would opt for the

CB radio and hope for the best

[Elidor]

23. I go hide out in that one room and have that guy in hedgehog suit blow me

I don't know why I do this, but I do.

note to mods: this actually happens in the film, I'm not just being gratuitously trashy.

[TK421]

24. Wendy...darling, light-of-my-life...I'm not gonna hurtcha

You didn't let me finish my sentence, I said I'm not gonna hurtcha...I'm just gonna BASH YOUR BRAINS IN.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. I am so watching The Shining later

God damn I love taht movie.

[TK421]

27. By the way, one of my aunts had her wedding reception in that hotel

Its not called the Overlook ( thankfully ) She told me that it was called the Stanley...I don't even know if its in operation anymore

[CanuckAmok]

28. It's the Banff Springs, and it's still open.

n/t

[TK421]

30. It was never called the Stanley, then? She'll need a good talking to, sir

If you don't mind my saying so, perhaps...a bit more:D

[CanuckAmok]

32. I don't think it was ever "The Stanley".

It has changed hands a few times, but I believe it's always called "The Banff Springs Hotel". It's now owned by Fairmont:

[TK421]

33. Her mistake, then....I thought it was this one

http://www.stanleyhotel.com/

[CanuckAmok]

34. Ah, no...we're both right!

The Kubrick version of The Shining used the Banff Springs as a location, and the TV miniseries version with Rebecca DeMornay and the guy from "Wings" used the Stanley as a location.

[CanuckAmok]

29. Other: Go play with twins forever and ever and ever.

Either that or take a bath.

[RandomKoolzip]

31. I'd call may agent to see if he can get me in that Shirley MacLaine/

Debra Winger vehicle in pre-prod.

[hickman1937]

35. Ambrosia salad with mayo, or sour cream?

This really effects my vote.
