Unfortunately the link to your video seems to be broken. :(

I just wanted to tell you that I'm back from my vacation in Gulf Shores. Very nice beaches! However, the ads about no more oil are definitely working; I sat in traffic for 4 hours from downtown Mobile to Gulf Shores. What should have been a 6 hour trip was 10.  :censored: And on my way home, I-10 at Pascagoula was completely shut down because of a truck fire, so highway 90 was a slow crawl for about an hour. Just glad to be back home (and did I mention I hate traffic :P).

Here's what Martin tried to post, and it's not working as he missed up the HTML coding within his post.

Pretty much everywhere, it's gonna be hot.

I went to Orange Beach this past June, and we had to deal with traffic as well, except our issue was that lightning struck a power grid that was about 50 feet from me, blacking out the entire city of Gulf Shores, thus no traffic lights.

Also, for some reason, our hotel had cable (most hotels have satellite). With that being said, you probably had satellite at your hotel/condo, so here's a look at the IS down there! :D

I guess it varies on where you go...that was my first experience with cable at a hotel. But then again, I've only been to Atlanta, Hot Springs, Destin, and Orange Beach (twice).

That's exactly what the IS looked like where I stayed. I had cable!  :dance: Thanks for the link to the video, though.

Well, I guess it helps to not go on a Saturday afternoon. Also, it was raining when we went, so it was a terrible experience getting there. Glad you got to see that lightning show without getting hurt. :)

You guys are all lucky you get to go on vacation. I was going to go to Florida with my Mom and Sister but it turned out the week they wanted to go is the week I go back to university so that isn't going to happen  :thumbdown: However I did get my pass to CES 2011 which is so early in January that class isn't back in session yet so hopefully I'll get to take a vacay then if I get the money together to book the plane tickets and hotel.

On another topic who's excited for The 90s are All That on TeenNick that starts this weekend? I know I am! If you don't know about it they are going to be airing 90s Nickelodeon shows on TeenNick. As of right now these shows are going to be aired...

Interesting that these shows are coming to TeenNick. I briefly remember seeing Everybody Hates Chris on that channel the other night, which surprised me because I only remember it airing on Nick @ Nite.

On another Nickelodeon-related note, would anyone be able to define the word "Nicktoons"? :unsure: To me, it means cartoons that are on Nickelodeon. But now that channel seems to be showing non-cartoons/non-animated shows, which doesn't make any sense to me at all. :wacko:

I forgot to embed the promo for the '90s Are All That block...

Yes, the definition of a Nicktoon is a Nickelodeon produced Cartoon but I guess Nicktoon's Network is becoming like Cartoon Network, just airing whatever, weither it's animated or not.

Ah, Nick at it's best. It's kinda funny because before this channel was changed from theN to Teennick they used to syndicate a majority of these shows.  My favorite cartoon to watch was Doug and my favorite live action show to watch was The Adventures of Pete and Pete, The Amanda Show and All That. I used to like watching Double Dare also. They should have turned Nick2 into a channel for these shows to continue to be syndicated, that channel is pointless it's basically Nick running on a Pacific time zone schedule.

Wow, so many of you guys are having  vacations! I'm going on a road trip to Mt. Pocono sometimes next week, so hopefully that'll be something to look forward to. And I don't have Teennick since I subscribed to Dish. I really wanted to see these Nicktoons. This pisses me off so much.
