They went to Denver the morning of July 31 and visited an amusement park and the popular Casa Bonita restaurant.

Casa Bonita,
Casa Bonita,
Fun and food in a festive atmosphere...



/great episode

I came for the South Park. I leave satisfied.

Well, there HAVE been significant medical advances in the last 32 years.

"Johnson had no idea that people thought he was dead all these years."

My wife thinks my johnson has been dead all these years, too.

I sure hope he didn't pay takes for those years.

I came here to comment humorously, and leave disappointed.

Well done so far, everyone.

/alcohol

boozerman: I sure hope he didn't pay takes for those years.

Only if crooked cops were involved in his disappearance.

My wife's grandmother used to tell how their family had to run up the hill to the school to escape the floodwaters that were rising right behind them. She had some great stories.

Also, Casa Bonita is a cool place, but the food is downright awful.

How come the rest of his family weren't included on the missing list?

No Catchy Nickname: How come the rest of his family weren't included on the missing list?

that is odd...

No Catchy Nickname: How come the rest of his family weren't included on the missing list?

the rental was in his name & he was not a local.

No Catchy Nickname: How come the rest of his family weren't included on the missing list?

Nobody really missed them.

Etchy333-

I came for the south park and it was the Boobies, well done.


I've actually been to the real Casa Bonita. It's almost so like the South Park eps that it's scary.

/horrible food, like puke in your mouth.

I was caught by the fark filter, damn.

I feel haunted, I'm sure this was submitted before my comment, but I made the upgraded to alive simpsons comment in the bus cannibal thread. Totalfark sparks my firefox to 100% cpu usage lately.

Here is the quote.

"Kent Brockman: Dozens of people are gunned down each day in Springfield, but until now, none of them was important. I'm Kent Brockman. At 3pm Friday, local autocrat C Montgomery Burns was shot following a tense confrontation at City Hall. Burns was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced "dead". He was then transferred to a better hospital where his condition was upgraded to `alive'."

borg: No Catchy Nickname: How come the rest of his family weren't included on the missing list?

the rental was in his name & he was not a local.

That's the conclusion I came to as well (after I posted). Still seems odd though, as surely the authorities would try to reach his family to tell them he was missing.

So in all this time, nobody bothered to pick up the phone and check if this guy was still around? I mean, I get he wasn't a local and all, and that was a king-hell flood that killed an ass-load of people, but still...32 YEARS and no one could even look in a phone book?

That's a bit lame, even for Colorado.

So they thought the guy was dead and didn't attempt to follow up and call his next of kin or anything? I know he was from out of town and they had a lot on their minds, but If you thought someone had died, wouldn't you eventually get around to seeing if he had a wife, kids, mother/father etc. who might want to know he's dead?

Phone book? People still use those?

Wow, they so just blew his cover. Here come the Hell's Angels to get revenge for that undercover job.

Uh, someone did. Hence the article.

Thread over with Weeners.

"Burns was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his conditon to alive."

Ever tried looking for a particular Johnson?

Most common surnames in the U.S.

Johnson is #2

/Never look for Johnsons myself
//NTTAWWT

My favorite part is where the guy says "Basically we thought your whole town and everything in it was crap, and it turns out we'd be dead if we hadn't thought that."

Speaker2Animals: Ever tried looking for a particular Johnson?

It's alway's "No, the other one."

And then their chopper blows up.

"I got bettah!"oh wait, wrong python quote
"i'm not dead,im gettin bettah"

Having been to Big Thompson Canyon, Estes Park, Lakeside and Elitch amusement parks and the Casa Bonita,...I'm getting a yada, yada, yada, yada,..........

I even have a book on the Big Thompson Canyon flood and all the victims. I'm printing the article and inserting it into the book as an update.

/thanks subby !

i hate being #1. people always give you a look like you're using a fake name. 'here's your room key, Mr. & Mrs. SMITH...'

and then there's the Mrs. Smith's frozen pie jokes. *sigh*


/really wish i'd kept my maiden name.

+1 for the Eddie reference

Oh man, Casa Bonita. I remember telling some friends in CA about how I loved all the Colorado references throughout South Park (i.e. KOSI 102.1 FM, Kenosha Pass, Fairplay, etc.) and when I got to Casa Bonita they were like, "Oh my god, that's a real place?! I thought they just made it up!"

Gyrfalcon: S but still...32 YEARS and no one could even look in a phone book?

That's a bit lame, even for Colorado.

Excellent observation about CO. I lived there -and liked it-
but the 'Natives'and transplants are so smug about being there it is to laugh.

Crummy air, extremely liberal politics and very high taxes are
NOT balanced out by having mountains.

sooo are you telling me those cool clean waters in those Coors commercials are in fact lies? And John Denver didnt get high on that Rocky Mountain air? CO IS A SHAME!?!?

NuhOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Z1P2: "Johnson had no idea that people thought he was dead all these years."

My wife thinks my johnson has been dead all these years, too.

Maybe she should poke it with something, just to make sure.

A man considered missing and presumed dead in the 1976 Big Thompson Canyon flood is alive and well and living in Oklahoma...

He and his wife, Kathy, and their two young daughters took a vacation to Estes Park in July 1976 and booked a cabin at the Sleepy Hollow resort. When they arrived, they found it too rustic so they left without telling anyone.

In other news, there can exist places that are too rustic for Oklahomans.

Hawkeye: I thought you said he was dead?

BJ: He got better.

/Try the veal

I always thought South Park became cool when they showed the "Sleeper House" as Barbra Streisand's house in the episode Mecha-Steisand.



/first season episode 12
//also featured Robert Smith of The Cure.

I live in colorado and have been to Casa Bonita a few times.

/I heard when they first opened up, they used dog food in most of their meals.
//True story.

I lived in Loveland at the time of the flood. What a trip to have this come back up - and to think that it's been 30 years ago.

Wow - I AM old.

South Park references. I expect more of them

Chaosdawn: Speaker2Animals: Danger Avoid Death: Gyrfalcon:

/really wish i'd kept my maiden name.

Me too. Do people ask you how to spell 'Smith?" We get that all the time.

/why would you put a 'y' in "Smith?"
//very strange

Crummy air is for the 303'ers...

Those of us that actually live in the real mountains are even smugger...
