Title: Dorney Park
Post by: X_marks_the_ed on May 07, 2006, 05:57:39 PM: This may sound completely wierd...

but this Friday, I'm going on A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP to....

...Dorney Park?

Is it me or have teachers just given up on us? There are no papers to do, no notes to take. It's just a day at Dorney Park. What i'm wondering is would it be wise to bring a PDA (an old and valuable one) full of games and entertainment, on a field trip to Dorney Park. My PDA can do many things and even stores midis.

Would you bring a such a device on a field trip considering how much it will be worth in two years? (One hundred dollars.)

Yes, but that's from work to home. Not from one side of the state to the other.

a. Breaks
b. Gets lost
c. Get stolen
d. All of above... at the same time.

Well?

However, some punk told me he's after my favorite item. I don't know what he means, but he's on the trip as well.

Bring it if you want, but I wouldn't. I don't even bring my iPod to school.

P.S. What is Dorney Park...?

I'm not from Michigan. My location is Hell, Michigan because of Minion's wish in Twisted Metal III. He wishes to go to Hell, because it's hot. But, he gets sent to Hell, Michigan where's it's very, very cold.

Maybe you'd be better off avoiding the possibility of having it stolen.

Can't you just hang out with your friends? You know, talk about friend things. I can make that last a whole day.

Wow, I thought my old elementary school was bad. My high school's much better, though. In gr 7, they basically made us slaves of the gr 3's and below. We wern't allowed on half of the equipment, even though we did way more fundraising to build them than the little guys did.

Post by: DragonBlaze on May 09, 2006, 01:08:14 AM: We don't go on field trips anymore :( Last year our school had a trip to cedar point where ever that it, it was an overnight trip on a coach bus. Well anyway, some dumbass ran away while we where there, and the teacher who organized the trip had to stay there a few days until they found him.

Anyway, yeah, I'd bring that if I were you, if nothing else than for some entertainment on the bus ride. However, be sure you have some zipper pockets or something like that to keep it in, some type of case may be nice too. Whatever you do, be sure to keep it with you. I don't know what kind of place your going to, as long as its not a water park or something along those lines, you shouldn't have any problems. IF it is a water park, don't bother brining it.

What's a small day of boredom to a year of paying it off out of your own pocket? Or however long it would take.

Better safe than sorry, not better sorry than bored.
