Northern Exposure is such a great show. I was so young then, but I love the re-runs! This is a great picture! Calm down ball grabby fritzy hating people!
I love this picture because the husband is having SO much fun and the wife is holding on for dear life–hilarious. Plus, I love when we can get the background story from the actual folks in the picture. My husband and I want to spend a year in an RV travelling. Around the country when we retire–I hope we have as much fun as these 2 (well, as much as the husband in this picture at least).
This picture is of my wife and myself at Busch Gardens. We travel fulltime in our RV Motor Coach and spent two days there.
We don’t know how our picture ended up here. I posted it to our blog April 13th when it was taken. The really funny thing is that the son of a friend of ours back in Houston was in class and his teacher was showing them some funny pictures online. She said this picture was her favorite and show ours on this website. The whole class was really laughing until our friend’s son said “I think I know those people”. Then everyone roared.
Now for some of the comments…
For you people with dirty minds, yes that was my water bottle I was holding.
Yes, my wife is a big Northern Exposure fan. We spent a week in Roslyn last year on our way to Alaska, exploring all the stores and eating at the Brick and Roslyn’s Cafe. My wife also has the complete Northern Exposure DVD set.
Yes, I grew up in Gulf Shores a long time ago and we spent the month of March there this year at the Gulf Shores State Park.
Yes, I’m getting kind of frizzy. It was about time for my semi-annual haircut.
And yes, the Cheeta Chase is the ‘baby’ rollercoaster. And no, I wasn’t able to get her any othe others after that.
Glad you enjoyed the picture. Still wish we knew who posted it.
This is great. His right hand clenching an imaginary handle (like on a bus).
The lady looks like somebody has just hit her with 2,000 volts. I think she has her eyes closed behind the glare on her sunglasses, otherwise she would have caught full flash.
Me either. This may be my favorite pic yet. They both look like they genuinely got the bajeesuz scared out of them. Are they looking in two different directions? Lol!!!
You’re not lookin’ close enough. These people buy stuff to remember their adventures by. He’s holding on to his souvenir cup so it doesn’t fall out as he’s squeezin’ it between his legs!
Sweet Gulf Shores, Alabama shirt. Representing the coast.
This is the second pic with Alabama ties I’ve seen here. We’re just an awkward state, who happens to photograph it all the time, apparently.
I was just wondering why they let him have his water bottle on the ride (that’s clearly what he is holding [down] in his lap) and why are they the only people on the ride..

That looks just like my Uncle Roger.. but I don’t think he really uses the internet. I want a sweet northern exposure shirt.
Getting into the park: 25 dollars each
Parking: 10
Tickets: 5 each
Crotch Grab from Grandpa: Priceless
Hahaha, I can’t believe they bought that!
This is great and you are a good sport. I’d ride a coaster or go to Alaska with you folks any day because you seem to enjoy life.
Silly

the truely awkward part of this is how he holding himself
He’s just making sure they came back down after the last loop, is all . . .
Cheetah Chase is a kiddie ride at Busch Gardens.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
LOL!
Cool Northern Exposure shirt though!
The man’s gettin’ a bit fritzy there.
I was going to say, Hey what’s wrong with this, it’s kind of cute! Then I noticed where dude’s hand was…
You’re not lookin’ close enough. These people buy stuff to remember their adventures by. He’s holding on to his souvenir cup so it doesn’t fall out as he’s squeezin’ it between his legs!
First of all, I thought, he was holding a camera – see the strap? But you have to wear a souvenir CUP to ride this thing? Whew!
Don’t say anything bad about the woman, she’s ok. She’s wearing a Northern Exposure shirt — THE BEST SHOW that was ever on television.
I loved that show too! I totally bought the entire show on DVD a year or so ago! I came in a cool bag with a moose on it!
Yes, yes, it was a great show, I loved it too.

We also just love to have a good time and don’t care what we look like doing it, especially (and apparently) in photos! Sweet Home!!!
bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!! @ Dan

I don’t know why they let me keep my water bottle. I wish they hadn’t!
After it hit me in the face for the 2ne time, I started holding it down.
We got to the park right after it opened and there was almost no body in line so they were giving every one their own car.
Lol…thanks for being such a good sport!
agreed!!!
I seriously can’t stop laughing at this pic! It’s so cute and genuine
