*tosses coin into fountain and makes wish*
Ahhh...

Nice spot you've built here.....

Ther I was, still wandering about (i.e. lost) and I find me a fountain. Who put that there? (Punchline to joke....A man walked into a bar and said ouch!)
Pleasant indeed it is, but a tad cold for fountaining at this time of year.

It's okay, it's a heated fountain.
The answer to your question: "who put that there?" is "Me!"

Thanks - not that it was a hard or skilled job, but I'm glad everyone likes it!

Very relaxing, and if nothing else is happening you can use it as cover from the ice cannons at the fun pool.

Bluebottle Posted Jan 23, 2000
Very true - although that moved to the waterslides and has become a James Bond discussion... Hmm...

Could you tell Looney that, he is looking a little worse for wear.

***NEWS FLASH***
Alligators have been sighted in the fountain. Please refrain from swimming in the fountain. All goldfish must leave the premises until the creature has been evacuated.
Apparently, the alligators are fishing for change in the fountain.

Perhaps you're looking at this the wrong way, BB - the Fountain may be how they get INTO the sewers!

I think the alligators were just looking for cleaner waters...
that and money... the amount of money people throw in fountains is pretty impressive....
Though why an alligator needs money is beyond my understanding

It could use the *however-many-fingers-aligators-have* discount.....

I don't think alligators would buy crocodile skin shoes...
It would be like you buying a pair of orangutan gloves... it would be viewed very badly

Bluebottle Posted Feb 2, 2000
Maybe not - afterall, crocodiles and aligators are enemies, so it would be like them saying "I got one up on them!" which would be viewed very positively. Everyone likes beating they're rivals, and everyone's rivals are similar to themselves.
