Shouting across the Grand Canyon email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona11 months ago

I've been to the Grand Canyon, and it is breathtaking. But I kind wanted to just shout something and see if it echoed, and how loud it was if I shouted really intensely. Of course, I was on vacation with my family, and there were others around, so I didn't.

But if you were going to be at the Grand Canyon, as close as you choose, what would you shout out against the massive backdrop of a stunning creation? I believe I would shout, "Look ma, I made it!" First of all, I don't call my mother 'ma'. Secondly, I've been there before, so there is no need to remind my mother I'm there. It just sounds like a goofy thing to say, so that is what I'd choose.

How about you? You're there, standing near the massive Canyon's edge, and what do you shout?

Well, I was a kid, so I yelled "Hello" But only after my brother & sister had done it. I would never say anything first when I was a kid.

I believe I would shout, "Luke, I am your father," in a very deep, slow voice. Then I would lean over slightly, turn to my boyfriend and tell him I just lost a contact lens and lovingly ask him to retrieve it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

ROFL, someoone is going to have to work very hard to beat you for best response.: )


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

And just like I thought, no one could match this answer.


myLot reputation of 69/100. theprogamer (7232)   ranked 10 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

>< Come on! Barely any credit for all my responses. They so work and I'd yell each and every one of them.


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Does it make you feel better programer that I e-mailed this discussion and then sent an e-mail directly to those people, telling them to look at your response as well as Hmmmm's? And frankly, if I didn't give Hmmmm the best response, I was very afraid she might go to the Grand Canyon and actually ask her boyfriend to do that. LOL: ) Programer, you know you rock!


myLot reputation of 69/100. theprogamer (7232)   ranked 10 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Rofl, I was being a tease, but thanks Ambie!

The Grand Canyon is a nice gift to humans by God. If I had the chance to be there, I would shout at my top voice saying, "I love you, dear Grand Canyon." It would be very nice to hear the echo of our own like swirling wind. Thanks for your imaginative discussion.


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Your welcome. You are absolutely right, God gave us a wonderful gift when he gave us the Grand Canyon. Some scholars believe the Canyon was formed during the flood that Noah built his ark for.

Thanks for some information about the Grand Canyon.

oh I am sure this is a breathtaking experience..seeing such a wonderful place, being there..feeling so little and however so happy and proud to be there..wow..I think this is a sort of experience to remember and cherish..I love travelling and I have just come back from Egypt and this was just one of the best travels I have ever made. it really moved me and I am sure that i will be deeply touched b the Grand Canyon, too. I hope I will go there one day or another and yes...of course it will be beautiful being there alone and scream...I can't figure what..I think I would scream aloud all the pain I have known so far, against all the bad people who tried to destroy me and tell them...yes...LOOK AT ME NOW..I AM HERE, I AM STRONGER AND BETTER NOW..YOU FAILED..I SUCCEEDED..Yes, maybe I will shout this...thanks for sharing this terrific experience with us..


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Hello AmbiePam
Wow, and with other people there? that is a tough question. And if there are other people and they are not yelling something, I think I would be too embarrassed and hope that someone else would yell..lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Oh no, in this situation this would be an opportunity that would afford us the nerve and privacy to yell by ourselves.


myLot reputation of 91/100. carmelanirel (4618)   ranked 14 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Well then I would yell, "I MADE IT" I don't get out much, lol

And wouldn't you get freaked out if you heard back, "We see you!"


myLot reputation of 99/100. jillhill (5479)   ranked 13 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

yes. I have actually been there and it was so breathtaking I couldn't have said a thing ...for the first three stops anyway at the lookouts....I will say, if I went again and someone asked me to go out on the new glass observation point I would say something different!!! It would be two words. H*ll No..

LOL, I'd love to do that, but it's like 75 dollars. If someone asked me for that amount of money, I'd be tempted to use your line.

Okay Ambie I'll give you the serious quotes and the joking ones cause you are so sweet and I wanna see if I can get you (and any other readers) to laugh and comment

Serious
"Grandpa, I now realize what you were trying to tell me"
"Thank you for creating this"
"A new champion dawns on the world"
"Share your wisdom and experience, great earth..."
"Tranquil and beautiful, if only the entire world could be like this"
"Another moment that took my breath away. I know even more so, I really lived."

Joking
"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!"
"Ragnarok Cometh!"
"All your canyon are belong to us!"
"Vegeta! Whats the depth of this canyon!?"
"Its over NINE THOUSSAAAAAAAAANNND!!!"
"For the Horde!!"
"I just wish dad was here to see this!" (Dad: Uh, I'm right here jr.)
"Excalibur! Be my strength!!" (With the right hand in mid air;p)
"Magtherion, where's my money!?"
"We're gonna need a lot of dirt to fill this hole...Perhaps the Sahara"
"Congratulations Arizona on preserving your pitfall!"
"Congratulations Grand Canyon on becoming part of Planet Earth!"
"This is CNN"
"I've seen grander canyons"
"I like mountains better anyways"
"Canyon Happens"
"I drove 2000 miles for this!?"
"I know Kung Fu!"
"This is the Grand Canyon. Okay whatever, who's up for Chinese food?"
"Grand Canyon says 'NO'!"
"Is it naptime yet?"
"Free money at the bottom of the canyon" (I know, cruel;p)


myLot reputation of 97/100. Hmmmmm (1402)   ranked 3 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!"

Oh my god, I can't stop laughing. That's far better than my choice. AmbiePam, Theprogamer deserves BR just for that one alone.

Funny how we both chose James Earl Jones quotes to use too (I used the CNN one a long time ago when I was talking into the removable lid of our grill).


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10021)   ranked 1 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

OK, but if I get to the bottom of the canyon and there is no money, well, let's just say you'll have a 10 day start for me not to catch you.


myLot reputation of 69/100. theprogamer (7232)   ranked 10 out of 15 in arizona  11 months ago

Hah thanks guys!

Here go more joking ones

"It has begun!!! MORTAL KOMBAT!!"
*With megaphones* "DUNNNNNNNNNN!!! T-H-X! The tourists are now deaf."
[Sings the theme to Perfect Strangers] ;p
"What the?! This isn't New York!! Stupid Google Directions!"
"Everybody!!! CONGA!!!"
