My good friend Janet took her nephew, Matthew, for a Hollywood excursion out of Seattle for this past weekend. I didn’t join them for all the festivities but I did spend the day with them at Universal Studios. Janet was kind enough to buy the picture of us on the big drop into “the drink” at the end of the Jurassic Park ride … where clearly we’re having a good time … and where Matthew totally looks like a frog.
The plunge into the drink
After a short walk in the 100 degree heat, we hit the Mummy Returns ride. This one caught us all off-guard, hitting high speed in total darkness, then haulin’ ass backwards to the start. After seeing our expressions in the picture above I attempted a total deadpan expression. It was difficult considering the intensity of the ride, but I think I pulled it off. Matthew, on the other hand, still looks like a frog.
Deadpan attempt
The small red x in the corner of the photos really accentuates your deadpan expression. Well done.
Seeing the real deal is even more accentuates the expression.
