    I had to go look back at who posted this comment (I don’t usually look) and I knew it was going to be you.

    I’ve taken my special needs nephews there and it’s amazing. They both loved the Ferris wheel so I had to ride it what felt like a hundred times. Even the regular ticket prices are really good for the quality of the place.

      It’s a good day when a Texas drunk recognizes the contributions of the fartographer (a moniker my phone tried desperately to avoid).

        I think the fartographer is a neat person. We’ve discussed Texas stuff and checked on each other during the hurricane. When I get the opportunity it’s always a nice conversation. That’s the closest thing I have to a friend on Lemmy.

        So it’s definitely a good day for me.

          Thanks buddy! I always get excited seeing your username in the comments, too

          Now I kinda wanna create a community called lemmybefriends for lemmings who’ve befriended each other. But then it’d need to be moderated and I’m lazy…

          Sorry for any confusion - it’s genuinely awesome that you guys connected. Just the usernames were funny to me.

          I would love to find a relatively local friend on lemmy.

            Oh, I wasn’t taking it any kind of bad way! I was just adding context that yeah, we’ve got funny user names, but I also genuinely think the fartographer is a pretty cool human in general.

            The great thing about the interwebs is it makes everyone local. Oddly enough I’m meeting someone from IRC tomorrow.

              I met my wife on IRC. She made the mistake of saying I was cute (I wasn’t and am not). We referenced it in our wedding vows.

              15 years later, we’re married with a kid. She hasn’t realized, or at least acknowledged, her mistake yet. At least she doesn’t use IRC anymore, so I don’t have to worry about some other nerd stealing her from me.
