Ok, so this is a little over the top, but I got a couple of laughs. I especially liked the part where they tried to go into the building, but found that one set of doors was locked. That’s a classic one. And the bumper stickers are hilarious, yet embarrassing at the same time. We all know that Christian bumper stickers and T-Shirts are pretty cheesy sometimes.
Don’t let her cute smile and bubbly personality fool you. She defeated all four of us big strong dudes at California Adventure’s “Toy Story Midway Mania”, scoring 170,000 points.
