5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 12

[ohiominnie]

Did you see the article that said Tigger (at MGM Studios) hit a child? What a joke.
First off, the boy wasn't a "child"....he was at least 13 and he had his arm behind Tigger's back and must have done something because Tigger locked the boys arm under his own....like you would to stop that arm/hand from moving. The boy was goofing around and laughing, and it looks like Tigger reached across to stop the kid's other arm when it brushed the kid's face. In the video (that the dad was taking) the kid was wearing those jeans that drop below the backside, with a belt type of thing hanging down......almost gang or rapper type of clothes....but in the interview, they have the kid looking and sounding like he's younger and innocent.

Yes. Saw it. My mom emailed me the link today. To me it almost looked like Tigger was losing his balance and his left arm came up near the boys face as he was trying to right himself. Personally I think the boy did something very non-Disney like to Tigger and Tigger needed to pull away (and start losing his balance) in an effort to maintain his "Tiggerness" (wouldn't want all the 3 yr olds seeing him without a head or something)

Crazy.

On the way home from WDW we got behind a Bud beer truck. It just seemed to be leading us home.

Guess who would be driving a beer truck right to their front door? Any guess Kiki?

The faces are hidden to protect the innocent.

And yes, it WAS full of beer at the time...
along with everything else we needed for Saturday night's company party...
we celebrated a huge milestone with a "Saturday Night Live" themed party- our employees and spouses were given 3 options for attire... their favorite SNL character (from any of the 32 seasons), 80's attire, or, "Business Casual"... which came with a warning that those who chose the third option would be subject to ridicule and harassment for the remainder of 2007. Out of the 110 people there, only 3 were not in costume... here's Ray and I...

Nothing was funnier than the looks on my neighbors faces when we walked out of our front door and into the Expedition Stretch Limo that was picking us up.

(I resized this photo on Photobucket to make it smaller, but it didn't work... oh well...)

Pam I agree with everything in your post. We really want to do an Eastern Carib or maybe even a Southern but not Mexican.

Also since they haven't released the Wonder or Magic it will be interesting to see which ship goes out West and what the other ship does. I could see them doing 3 night, 4 night, 7 night Eastern, 7 night Western, 3 night, 4 night, etc.

We'll have to wait and see.

IF DCL heads out West and the other ship is only doing the Nassau run we would actually look at another ship like Freedom of the Seas which does Eastern cruises.

Mary - that's exactly what we're looking into. The Freedom or the Liberty which will be launched this summer. They both have great itineraries. We're looking at February though.

Garry - way to go. I still have more PD for ya. Keep going.

Jim - congrats on the 1/2 marathon. You're my hero. I would have 2 black eyes and a heart attack if I attempted that.

Kiki - I got who you were, but Ray? I'm puzzled? Bzzzzz

 

[TiggerInNY]

Stacey - I'm with you on the Tigger thing. I think that kid was doing something to Tigger cause he grabbed his arm pretty quick. Maybe he was putting his hand up under the "head" part of the costume? The father was on TV this morning and said that his son had a head-ache/neck-ache and he took him to the hospital. Give me a break!! He probably horses around with his friends worse than that. I'm sure a "law-suit" will follow. Everybody has to sue someone. What a world.

 

[TiggerInNY]

OK, I'm done doing my "burst" posting. Carry on with your regularly scheduled posting.

Looks like the "Count"




not saying which count.......

 

[TiggerInNY]

Count Chocula???

 

[kikipug]

Count Chocula???

Nope... Opera Man... mid-90's

 

[MarkRG]

Count Chocula???

I was thinking more Count von Count..

I am very interested in seeing the Gator QB. He was homeschooled his whole life. I wonder if he's the backwards, scrawny, anti-social kid most ppl think homeschoolers are.

That is interesting. Was he able to play high school football? They don't allow that here, but I think it is done in some states.

 

[Dancind]

I wouldn't mind trying one of those mega ships one of these days. But not with Alicia as a teen/young adult. Way too big, I would never know where she is. That makes me nervous.

Yes, I believe he was allowed to play high school ball. In fact, lemme pull up the link someone emailed me last week....

Mike fake pouted and said "where's mine? did i offend her with a mouse matters?" I told him that you probably figured he had every Buckeye shirt ever made, which isn't QUITE the truth, but he's got a lot!

Everyone's fits great. Wishing mine was way too big, but alas, I AM that size.

I like that quote: "Tebow blows apart the stereotype of the nerdy, anti-social home- school kid whose athletic prowess amounts to holding a pencil with two fingers."

Even Jim has more prowess than that........

You should have gone as coneheads, and carried around ring toss rings. Ohhhhh baby!
