BEST LIFEGUARD AND SLIDE ATTENDANT THINGS ACCORDING TO YOUR HOST
This area is currently under construction if you have something that should be added please e-mail me at in2deep@xvi.net
This is Megan who is probably my best friend at Deep River Waterpark despite the fact that she is always mad at me for something or other. On this particular day she had a shadow Michelle and the whistle blew she tapped her hat and in she jumped into rescue this boy. Notice how she was even able to keep the visor on as she pulled him to safety. Good Work Megan
The Best Bag Award: The competition was between Mark T's favorite "The Eye Popping Kim" with this white bag with just a touch of green that is always hanging and looks so classy to me and the color my sister hates pink with flowers carried by the lifeguard who laughed when she told me her name Jillian
In 2005 your host Mark T declares the winner of the best bag this season: Jillian
and now you can see her right below and can anyone verify or deny that her name is actually Jillian?
The Best Sunglasses: Many sunglasses to me look the same and I probably should actually wear some but the only ones I have ever worn belonged to Emily so now you never see me with them. Some due stick out and this year the winner got them just in a nick of time to win. They are cool and stylish and only cost $4.00 at a flea market. The winner of the 2005 Best Sunglasses at Deep River Waterpark: RACHEL
My favorite person to splash: without the "Totally Terrific Tina" this competetion has been thrown wide open as in 2005 I look for a winner.
The lifeguard or slide attendant your host Mark T would like to go down the storm on a double tube with: In my mind I have this filing system and a lot of names I forget but some are filed in "The Beautiful People" section which means I still can forget but more likely to remember and this lifeguard is in that section and I believe in season #2. On a side note there is a beautifulpeople.net website that the only way you can get on is if the other members feel you are a beautiful person this is true
How do I get voted in to BeautifulPeople.net?
The only way a person can obtain membership is by being voted in by existing members of the opposite sex. The result of the vote is final. However if you do not get voted in the first time round, you may re-submit later with a better profile and picture.
The members either vote for or against the membership of an applicant and the final decision therefore depends on the count of votes. In that way the wishes of the members of BeautifulPeople.net, reflects their expectations in relation to the type of people they want to have on their system
I don't think I could be voted into the beautifulpeople.net but if I were on I would certainly vote for her to join. She is the lifeguard I would most like to ride on a slide ride with did you guess the winner
JENNIFER
The BEST NAME
Through the years there have been a few doesn't everyone know my favorite femal name well maybe you don't. This year the competition between names I can't spell would it be Siobhan or Dragana and the winner of the 2005 best name:
DRAGANA
BEST HAT
How we long for the days way back win that the guys had to wear those hats that had a bill all around. Remember when Dustin was wearing that it happened in the first few seasons and then some of the gals wore them too but since then there has been a downgrade to some of the dullest visors ever designed in your hosts opinion. However one guy that doesn't have to wear the visor and who should be required to always wear his hat which is green so I can always identify him and therefore gets the best hat award
JUSTIN
The 2005 Male Rookie Lifeguard of the Year: Will it be Chris who has appeared as a special Guest Slide Attendant so I have seen him more. The guy with the shiny bright white teeth which make even your host Mark T envious his name is Zack or will it be the females delight and Bill with the cute butt?
The WINNER the guy who is friendly and I see most Congratulations to The 2005 Male Rookie Lifeguard of the Year Winner
ZACK
The 2005 Female Rookie Lifeguard of the Year: Never in all my years do I remember an upset of this magnitude. I mean didn't we all know who I was going to select in this category even I knew but things happen and your runner up is
also receiving consideration Jillian and Mark T congratulates the 2005 Female Lifeguard of the Year you who always has a smile on her face and I threatened to throw her out because she was just to happy and well in her family tree I have some spelling issues so I will guess you 2005 Female Rookie Lifeguard of the YEAR
KATLIN
The Best Sandals
Her sandals look like they have some sort of beads on them and I like them and I think her hair used to be a different color but maybe I am mistaken but the last time I saw it was a dark black and her name I had to get from someone and there must be a few lifeguards with this name but the winner is
MEGAN
The 2005 Male Lifeguard of the Year: It became a race between your 2004 Rookie Lifeguard of the Year Jason and perennial favorite Mike who in 2001 was involved in a tie for the Male Lifeguard of the Year and was the Cowinner. Never had I chosen cowinners on this category before that. He then blew away the competition in 2002 winning the award and then in 2003 he beat out Dustin and David to retain the award. In 2004 it was 10 years so Dustin got the award for 10 years of service plus I didn't see much guarding. In 2005 Mike make his case guarding all over the place not in a rotation but he never got to the top of whitewater for me but after much thought and consideration your runner up this year is Jason which makes Your 2005 Male Lifeguard of the YEAR for an unprecedent 4th time and no one has ever one that much. Once again he reigns supreme. Mark T. congratulates
MIKE
The 2005 Female Lifeguard of the Year: It is Megan vs Rachel vs The Lindseys who will be the 2005 Female Lifeguard of the year one person out of this group.
Without Rebecca to defend we have to give the crown to someone else and this competetion was very tough and on any day I could sway at the beginning of the year I thought it would be Rachel but I haven't seen her that much this season. Then I was sure it would be Megan but again she just disappears and see her alot and then not plus I learned a long time ago that no one ever will like Mark T and then she sometimes put the notion in that someone could they can't although that was a very good save that you can see above so she is definately the Runner Up and that is good. The Winner of the 2005 Female Lifeguard of the Year receives Congratulations from Mark T. and you can see her if you just scroll below
LINDSEY IV
The Highly Coveted Mark T's 2005 Best Hair in the park award. It is all about the hair I love mine and it goes blonde for the summer thanks to the chemicals and the sun. You have to take good care of the hair. Everyone knows I love ponytails in fact some people could tell you exactly what ponytail is my favorite ponytail but of all the hair styles braided pig tails are my favorite and the winner this year I've seen with a few colors and in all these hairstyles everyday I hope to see how she is wearing her hair. Here is a surprise she is neither a lifeguard nor slide attendant I only usually see her once per day upon entering the park and she 2x has received my highest rating ever on this website. Currently her hair is a beautiful blonde I abolutely positively love it and when she had it braided in pig tails I nearly lost it. For the longest time I was not sure of her name but how I'd love to have her picture for you to see. Hey I was right the guys say so. Mark T therefore awared the highly coveted Best Hair in the Park Award in 2005 to that beautiful girl in Group Sales I believe
KRISTEN
Long live the Kristen Contingent
e
From the Other Folks Category here are the finalists. These days I don't see a lot of other folks but these are some of my favorite.
Chris who is always hard at work usually digging something or other and who is commissioned to be the cameraman this season so pictures should be here when we work that all out. In the picture above you can see how busy Chris always is and with him probably talking about some important things is Ryan from food services
Joe whose name I actually remembered and that means you had to make quite an impression he seems very friendly
or Rob who I have seen through the years and I never felt worse when I did not know his name even more so since I absolutely positively adore his sister "The Eye-Popping Kim who is more than likely to win Mark T's 2005 Female Rookie Lifeguard of the Year Award if I were a betting man I'd take that bet. (and I would have lost).
The Winner is Best Other Folks
For my own entertainment from brick laying to hole digging even though he didn't get to take any pictures for me because he can't dig a hole fast enough. I think you could actually see him doing anything and I like that so congrats to
CHRIS
The 2005 Best Slide Pusher: Remember way back when that those guys swung from the railing and some even went so far as to swing from the slide just to get this award. Those days are long gone and this year I must say I have been pushed down every single tube slide ride that I have ridden haven't gotten the wave once this year. It is your hosts opinion that the best slide pusher this year is the girl with the kick in it. She was a late edition or we would have her in the Slide Attendant Competiton but she pushes so well she takes this award:
TRACIE
The 2005 Male Slide Attendant of the Year:
The competition comes down to one of these 3 who will it be: MATT, RYAN OR SHANE?
Mark T. Congratulates your 2005 Male Slide Attendant of the year it is now official:
RYAN
The 2005 Female Slide Attendant of the Year:
This category has the most competition and will it be Barbie, Dee(i think that his her name), Heather, Katie, The other Katie, Kristen, Melanie, or Stephanie? Is 8 really enough for this category and how on earh will I decide this? This one was extremely tough to decide and in the end I don't like to but I declared a tie so the 2005 Co Female Slide Attendants of the Year Her last day was July 31 but she always had a smile on her face and certainly was a whole lot of fun I still can't believe she was 18
STEPHANIE
This slide attendant I think loves the park even more than I do and boy is she a lot of fun to watch and hear talk and anything else its just plain fun when she is around
MELANIE
Now inspired by those Real Men of Genious Commericals Mark T. has prepared this SALUTE to SLIDE ATTENDANTS
Today we Salute you
Deep River Waterpark Slide Attendants
You stand atop slide rides wearing shirts that say Slide Attendant
So that there is no mistaking what you are
You make sure no one crosses your imaginary line
If they dare you will be ready
To yell "Get Back!"
You make us wait in line
Until it is our time to ride the slide
Splash you no one would dare
Or you might not push them down
Hold on to the handles
You instruct us as you move
The line along
Handles not in front this isn't good
As then you must say Turn the Tube around
You control the slides. You have all the power
No one can go down without you
There is nothing we can do
But wait until you get to that Children's play area
When the hoses turn on you.
Crack a smile
Deep River Waterpark Slide Attendants
And while you push us down with that smile we read your shirt
You might even add have a splashtastic day.
The Dearly Departed: Over the years I have seen many people come and go at Deep River Waterpark and at the begining of the year I always wonder will I know anybody and who will I most miss and this year those that said goodbye that are most missed in 2005
She let us play everyone's favorite game. Where's Emily and when I found her she would let me wear her sunglasses down a slide ride. I met her first in food services normally at taco which I never even wanted anything from. However she did leave me the memory of the classic yard tree which is somewhere in my home. From food services to Lifeguard all in a matter of years. Now the game never can be won and we all wonder Where's Emily
In 2003 she won Mark T's rookie female lifeguard of the year award. She had one of the best voices I ever heard and I offered $100 for her to read into a tape recorder my favorite childrens book "The Little Fish That Got Away" which I finally managed to get a copy of to read to my nephew. We were excited that in 2005 we would have the 2003 rookie female lifeguard of the year and 2004 female lifeguard of the year face off against the 2004 rookie lifeguard of the year Rachel and what a competetion it would be. Unfortunately it seems that Rebecca got away how I miss her soothing voice and how on earth did she get me to tell the secret of how I became Mark T on October 28, 1994. She is one of the few people that knows that. How I miss her so.
In 2002 she was named Mark T's Valentine something that no other Deep River Waterpark person has ever done. I met her first at Milo's Sweet Shop way back when in it's original location. In 2003 she was the female lifeguard of the year. I am pretty sure that in passing I probably asked her out a few times but she always had to work and at Deep River Waterpark. Her picture adorns this site somewhere proving that your host still is the Master of the "Chair Shot" and thanks to her I made a few Thousand dollars buying the stock of Thornburg Mortgage symbol TMA because I thought that meant Tina and Mark. She was my favorite person to splash and held that title forever and now it's up for grabs but I don't think anyone has let me splash them this year. How I miss you in 2005 and thank you or all your service through the years "The Totally Terrific Tina"
Now that we took the stroll down memory lane lets get back to the present when Mark T. names for the 1st time ever the Male and Female Slide Attendants of the Year do you know who they might be? I might not even know but I have an idea. Then this is Deep River Waterpark's 10th Season so would your host dare come up with
The T's have it and in the next weeks you will see your hosts favorite guys 10x2 and favorite gals 10x2 at Deep River Waterpark. Who will they be you have to come back and see. As they begin to appear in completely Random orderThe Guys: This guy I haven't seen often this year but he puts a smile on my face anytime I see him wonder if he is still around. I think he moved up from cook to be in charge of food services he was known as Misty's brother but she has gone on and now it he is a favorite:
JAMES
I met him in 2004 and he may know that sometimes especially during the offseason I become extremely depressed since there is no where I would rather be than at Deep River Waterpark and he kept me informed because I'm always around at in2deep@xvi.net but when summer is done I have very little contact with anyone I don't work with. He did agree to be the cameraman for me and he might just very well be the maintenance person of the year but we will have to see if he can dig that hole faster. No matter how fast he digs he is a Mark T. Favorite
CHRIS
He may just be the friendliest person in the park and boy do I remember some good times when he would run all 3 slides on the storm at once and very quickly too. He was one of the few people that allowed me to ride my favorite ride whitewater several times because boy did that line move. Now he walks around the park as there is a clamor that we want him as A Special Guest Slide Attendant but he is a former Lifeguard of the year and may soon again be but for that you will have to wait and see
MIKE
In my 1,000 stair game sometimes I need a little help and in the past it was Mike to the rescue and he would get me up and down quickly. It is the begining that is the key and on July 20, 2005 it looked like there was danger of me losing for the first time in 3 years but this slide attendant did the important part and kept the line moving allowing me to win again and of that I am thankful that he set up the pins so I could knock them down. Try asking him about "the Key" but in the meantime just have fun when you see him
RYAN
I love to be entertained and there is nothing like a good story and the best story I have heard all year is about this slide attendant and how he recommended the cotton candy which I believe was excellent. I can't find the cotton candy and no one is able to direct me to it. You know sometimes are company uses staffing firms and there is a lady that comes and I told her of my love of cotton candy on a stick not in a bag and she vowed to bring me some and she searched high and low and one time she got some at the circus but left it in her car and it went flat but eventually she did bring me cotton candy on a stick one stick. Now his story is he got the cotton candy and with it there were 22 sticks I could just imagine him counting them all. His name was rather easy to remember to so he makes it it
MATT
He worked at Deep River Waterpark for years before I even knew his name how many years I don't know. He is up for the Maintenance person of the year and he is one of the friendliest people in the park and maybe he will get that award. The things I seem him do often entertain me like why was that water fountain having water come out the sides. He doesn't seem to have to wear those orange shirts so he is easy to spot and a favorite of Mark to to see
JOE
Of all the slide attendants with his long hair that makes me think he is a drummer he attracts the most attention I love to listen to the people in line talk about that long blonde hair. He is very friendly and I put him up in the nominations for the 2005 Slide Attendant of the year:
SHANE
He was Mark T's 2004 male lifeguard of the year and boy can this guy have fun. After opening day I didn't see him for quite awhile but it is great that he is back in the picture if you look on the front page you can see him cleaning up the childrens' interactive play area. He was a special Guest Slide attendant on July 24, 2005 and his line was 8x faster than the average slide attendant's line. There always seems to be a smile on his face and that makes me happy to see
JASON
It seems that a lot of people don't like to have their picture taken by themselves. I wonder why but then I met this guy who is always willing to be in pictures and we stick him in because everyone loves him. For years I have been trying to get a female lifeguard to do the splits while he looks on will this finally be the year. Prognosis negative on that but still he is a favorite of Mark T.
DAVID
This lead guard I only recognize if he is wearing that green hat because then that makes me think of him riding a John Deere Tractor which I believe you can get in any color you want as long as its green. I don't know where he came from but he is fun to watch so always good to see him
JUSTIN
In May 1995 Deep River Waterpark opened and through the years I have seen many people come and go and some come back and go again but there have been a few through the years that have remained since the inaugrial season and those few may have actually seen Mark T in the wavepool I mean in 1995 there just was the wave pool and the blue sides can you imagine that? Now it's only on weekends or on Tuesday nights but every year I wait and see is he back in the sand and every year he has been
DUSTIN
There are not many people who have been at Deep Rivere Waterpark every season and I remember this guy back when he was called something else but then he had to change his image and be a professional person nevertheless he is still fun. I remember way back when he was a lifeguard and if you put him together with Dustin you will have 2 people with combined over 20 years experience at Deep River Waterpark isn't that something he still finds ways to have fun and if you look on the front page you probably can see him at the Chilrden's play structure
BRIAN
He I saw for many years and it made me feel the worst when I could not remember his name. Apparently he graduated from 4 years of college and I have a huge crush on his sister. I hear that he has gone on now but maybe will meet again I always enjoyed seeing him
ROB
I don't get over to the food services much these days because I can no longer eat fried foods and had to go a whole change in lifestyle but every once in awhile I see this guy and we had some good times way back when it was Hot dog and taco now its in a walk in the park or when I'm coming in it is always good to see
RYAN
This felllow in maintenance knows how to have some fun and I ask all of you to join with me so that we get him back to the top of the slides before this season ends because that is what we want to see and until he told me his name again I couldn't remember it I just know he is a lot of fun so tell everyone that we want to see him at the top of the slide this summer We want
JAKE
I meet many people throughout the season some you may never even know because not everyone makes it into the storyline but some people make it quickly this guy I first met as a shadow to "The Eye-Popping Kim" and since then seen him work in the rain on cooler nights and not once has he worn a shirt now there is a true lifeguard with you. He always has a grin on his face and well doesn't he have a great name
MARK
The Gals: She has a name that I can't spell. She goes to a University that I believe makes toothbrushes. Her sunglasses are frightfully big. She walks around the park as friendly as can be can I spell it right this time:
SIOBHAN
When I met her in 2003 I thought this gal was as depressed as I am and sometimes I can get the guest to agree this summer I have not seen her much but everytime I do I enjoy it immesely. It's on the record I am not a fan of tattoos but the bacardi bat baby does not disturb me. She quickly became a Mark T. favorite
JUSTINE
I met her several years ago by nearly running into her at the abyss remember when guards were actually in the water on those hot days. From Lifeguard to Lead Guard to I have no idea what her title these days. She loved to wear a jacket but haven't seen that jacket much this year. On opening day she escorted me to the season pass entrance and she has an adjective and is known as
"THE SENSATIONAL SASHA"
So you though the day would never come when Mark T. named a slide attendant to this list right well we are going to have a few. I mean I do spend most of my time on the slides. This slide attendant always sticks to the script in fact I thought that was all she could say when I first met her but I observe that her line is always the fastest moving so maybe sticking to the script is good. I think she plays soccer and I love soccer. It is intersting to ease drop on her and things I've her say "I want to cry" go ahead you are standing a splash poold made up of water. "It feels ok if curl up in ball" and one Tuesday night before Tubin Tuesday she was actually soaked and having way to much fun. I never know what she is going to say except for the exact script hold onto the handles stay feet first in the tube the enitre time. She moves the lines fast and has fun even when trying to curl up in a ball
BARBIE
She may be to happy there is always a smile on her face and often showing teeth and I don't know if people like that or it makes them more depressed wondering what she is so happy about Remember that tubin tuesday when she was according to her "Slap Happy" after pushing people for over 3 hours and the stories I could tell but don't. She puts in her bid for "The Female Slide Attendant of the Year" will she win wait and see but she does make into the top 10X2 this season and hey look I even know her name now
STEPHANIE
She is known as "The Model" and how we loved those long earrings she used to wear all last season but they no longer dangle from her ears because someone might pull them off lets hope they don't come up with the same policy for pierced navels because you know I love them. Even without the earrings she is fun to see and we know her as
LINDSEY III
My line is I'm a sad lonely guy simply waiting to die. I haven't friend in the world but I'm a friend to those who have none but on occassion I pluck some best friends that I call renting for the summer. A few lifeguards have served as my best friend There was Jordan but then there were the "Jordan Rules" and the girl that was suppose to be my best friend turned on Mark T but thats ok forgive if only I could forget. Then there was Courtney she is 1 of only 4 people that I have ever told why the T is in my name. Then we have this year this girl has a lot of guy friends I notice and she is often mad at me but I once she gets a Tootsie Pop she is ok but she wants blue for the best and I would give her a blue one since they now have those but after that one Tuesday night I've never seen her again and I figure that is because she is such a good friend since I asked her to ask "The Eye Popping Kim" to see a movie with your host Mark T and she said she would and she probably did since she didn't want to break bad news to me she simply has made sure she never sees me again. Now thats what friends are for. Maybe we will go out of the realm and get her a nickname we wills ee but she does make the Top ten X2 wherever she maybe:
MEGAN
Your host was going to have a countdown until this Lifeguard turned 18 on July 1, 2005 but that might be in poor taste. Now that she has turned here is a picture of her just look above. One of the few people I have ever seen outside of Deep River Waterpark. I actually saw her at the mall and I am very seldom there. Her favorite color is pink and if you look above you can see I still am the master of "THE CHAIR SHOT" as she let me take her picture in my favorite chair. I want a chair like that. She then took a picture of me in this very chair but I know what people want to see it's her and not Mark T or do you think we should have a vote of who looks better in the chair where I would certainly lose. On this day July 24, 2005 she was A Special Guest Slide Attendant I wonder if I could be a slide attendant that would be fun at night and on weekends. In this picture she is having a very good hair day. It is always a joy to see
LINDSEY IV
This lead guard in the story line is known as "I am The Cute One" Her navel is pierced and you know that I love that. A long time ago my sister watched videos of the Olsen twins when they were the Olsen Twins and much younger and they sang a song arguing between the 2 "I am the Cute One" In my entire life I have met very few people that terrify me but she does. I am very afraid of her but on pleasant on the eyes she is to see because she is really cute I love to see her but you probably will never hear about me talking to "I am The Cute One" and hey she even has a name
CHRISTINA
She to me is known as "The Belle of the Ball" if we were in olden days her dance card would fill up so quickly. She is very friendly and in 2004 she made up one half of the R & R express which in this host opinion was the Best Slides top to bottom ever in the history of Deep River Waterpark. In 2004 she won the 2004 Female Rookie Lifeguard of the year Award and she looks to become the 2005 Female lifeguard of the year and she might win. We looked forward to R vs R for the 2005 female lifeguard of the year but one R got away but we are so happy that we still get to see
RACHEL
This slide attendant had the joy of being at the Childrens Play structure all day before it opened. She did all of the clean up and I wonder how many times she was asked when is this going to open. I think it was at least 6 times by your host Mark T. She always seems happy and that makes me happy to see her
HEATHER
I Think I just met this lifeguard recently and she is very nice. I didn't like those large white glasses but now she has a new pair and for me it is now always a joy to see
STEPHANIE
While I put this list up in no particular order. You may note that I do have an absoulte favorite person at Deep River Waterpark this year. I try never to like anyone like that because somehow but she made my eyes pop the first time I saw here and they have been popping all season. She is beautiful and friendly and the person I most like to see. She currently is the number 1 contender to be my 2006 Valentine even though I doubt that very soon that I will ever see her again. Throughout history I've used a few nicknames but never have I created anyone their own logo but for her I did and if you look at it the meaning is I hope that her shadow casts upon me because that makes me happy. She is the absolute favorite of Mark T. and the only lifeguard ever to have their own logo here it is now
She won the 2005 Best Hair at Deep River Waterpark and for the longest time I wasn't sure of her name but at least I actually got in right. Since I am a hair and leg guy she has made it into the group photo to be Mark T's 2006 Valentine. She has received my highest review ever and normally only one glimpse a day am I lucky enough to get but it certainly makes the day start off write. Up there in Group Sales
KRISTEN
This slide attendant got stung by a bee and then was hospitalized and for a whole week I didn't even see her. She always has a smile on her face and there is this thing that all female slide attendants usually end there name in an E sound so simply know her as Dee but somebody told me her full name and she wins the best name in the park and she is a favorite of Mark T.
DRAGANA
This lifeguard was the Shadow of Megan and even though she kicked me in the head to get my attention I still find her entertaining. She just started at the end of the season but thats ok because she made her way on to this list and you might even see a picture of her one day but you'll have to wait and see
MICHELLE
Who else might there be as
continues? come back and see
Do you want to see more? Maybe I'll bring another camera out if that is what you want To get your favorites visit Deep River Waterpark which is open from 10 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. daily through Labor Day. I'll see you there.
