Isn’t the BBC version is great and better with repeat viewing? The U.S. version lost my interest at some point, and I haven’t ever gone back to it?

Didn’t I read the book the British series was based on a few years ago, and vaguely remember the 80s show?

How was the book? Doesn’t it look good? And wouldn’t I want to watch any of the three BBC series again before finishing the U.S. version?

Have you actually been, though? You recognize Cory’s not exactly a reliable witness (as with many things, his spin is very much his own), that even with the crowds there’s just something remarkable and unique to the parks unlike anything anywhere else, and that the rides are anything but dull, but rather fascinating gems of ride craftsmanship, created with a level of care and detail in story development, theming, timing, and styling far beyond any other rides elsewhere, which is why the parks are full of large numbers of people who all hate crowds but still go there, right? Am I perhaps biased since I grew up in SoCal and hit Disneyland a lot and grew up watching Disney movies/shows?

Didn’t Walt have a thing for the cultural institutions of The South?

Didn’t we already establish that I didn’t want to?

Doesn’t that sound dull? Do they spin you around and turn you upside down and the like?

Haven’t I always found Mickey Mouse and Goofy and the rest of those deathly dull?

Didn’t I grow up near(ish) Alton Towers, now famous for this?

The Spinning Teac-cups do, but beyond that? Do you think this is some sort of amusement park for thrill-ride fanboys to get their thrills on, fanboyishly?

Wasn’t I lucky enough to go to Disney World before they retired 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Mission to Mars and the 1980s Carousel of Progress?

Doesn’t my oddest memory of Disneyland include a Weird Al sighting, where he was just sitting on a bench in the park? Didn’t one of my friends go a little bat shit and point at him going “Weird Al! Weird Al!” while he just smiled, nodded sheepishly, and waved at us? We’re past the statute of limitations for youthful indiscretions in the 1980’s right?

Why don’t you go to Disney World or one of the international Disney parks instead?

Didn’t I do that this week? Isn’t my hygienist happy with my teeth except one spot on the top, which she wants me to floss/brush better? Don’t they still want me to get my wisdom teeth out so they don’t cause problems later on (although they’ve never given me major problems?

Aren’t I grateful for that suggestion? And won’t I go right after I pay off all my student loans? Is anyone going to the Maker Faire this month in the meantime? Because isn’t it wonderful? Won’t I miss it after we move to Washington?
