So anyway I went to pin event with pintrader, and don't get me wrong I love the woman to death. Heck I will even take a bullet for her. (Well sort of anyway).

But below are the top ten reasons why it a good thing to go pintrading with her, but right after are the top ten reasons why its turns into such a long long day when your with her.

The beginning as read by Charlton Heston.

In the beginning Disney created the mouse, (*see religious disclaimer below*) and the parks with rides galore, and the people came. On the seventh day he rested and said, these people need a hobby so he created Disney Pins and said to the people, go now be fruitful and trade.

By the eight-day the people were fighting about pin trading, and calling each other sharks.

So Disney said give on to them a wise and noble ambassador a pin queen who knows all about the Mouse-pins, and let the people worship her as a pin princess. And behold Kathryn was born, and Disney said bring forth legions of loyal worker bees that will follow and continually find her pin bag, cell phone, palm pilot, etc, etc, and take care of her, and Walla my family and I were born.

And now without further ado… my top ten lists, I love you Kathryn, but the legions need to know.

Top ten reasons why knowing pintrader is good.

#10 She knows everything there ever is to know about every stinking pin ever made.

#09 People hear her name, and will walk over children to get to meet the great Pintrader, and if I'm next to her they think I'm somebody too.

#08 Pintraders engaged in near death-like battles will stop and hug when she appears, the trade continues… children laugh, and the trade is good, we love you all, it's good.

#07 It never rains in any of the parks she is in… coincidence I think not.

#06 Sharks act brave. but pee themselves and run away when you mention that well known phrase "I think so, but let me check with Kathryn before I trade"

#05 When I'm with her… I stick my cell phone earpiece in my ear, wear sunglasses and pretend I'm with the secret service.

#04 Every Cast member, and manager knows the woman. It's like when Norm entered Cheers and they yell out, but in my case they stop and hug her, and again if I'm with her they think I'm somebody too. Heck I've been hugged.

#03 People want her to hug babies, touch clothing, and hug various parts of their…. Pinbags. (ha ha had you all going in the wrong direction didn't I). Plus they let her drive the Monorail.

#02 It is so cool the see the deaf hear.. the mute talk, and the lame walk after she touches their pins.

And the Number One reason why it's good is…….Drum roll please.

When they bow down and curtsey in order to kiss the ring, their lanyards hit the ground they are so overwhelmed that they never notice if any pins fall off, and I get to keep them woo hoo.

But with the good there is the bad . So now the top ten reasons why It's bad to go pintrading with her.

#10 Every ten steps you take ,you will meet someone that knows her, or wants to know her, and you will stop (mostly in the sun) and chat and chat and chat. Lanyards come and go but you dare not leave her side.

#09 The sun always shines in the park she is visiting… not good when you're chatting in the sun, and those that know her, know that she stops and chats anytime, anywhere (be nice and pull her to some shade. I have to deal with the aftermath).

#08 All the cast members, and managers know her …true, but do we get a discount, do we get that special pin hidden in the drawer for that special moment… no no and no, all we get is sorry your to well know, we have to be harder on you so we don't get accused of playing favorites. No pins for you!!

#07 She talks on her phone 24-7 you have to be quick and listen for that low battery beep, then change the battery while she is taking a breath.

#06 You never know if she is talking to you, or on her phone. You don't know how many times I have been walking, or standing, and oh she could be looking right at you and say I love you too honey, but it's not me she talking too… it's Gary on the phone… when did she take the call, when did she start talking you never know… you don't know how many time I have dropped my soda, my ice-cream due to the shock value. it is scary.

#05 She will, from time to time, get a God complex and climb the tallest rock at Disney wearing nothing but a robe open her arms and say… "come to me my pin children, all are welcomed, walk into light". (You think security will go get her noooooo, they know and love her too, yep they look to me to go get her)

#04 The phrase " wait here I'm going to bathroom".. will get a small groan from the crowd, for we all know this means sit for an hour, because she knows somebody in there as well.

#03 Can you say pin junkie… pass a table with an open book and she will sit talk and trade. Oh no she's in STT mode we call it.

Or you're standing in line with her, and she says "Oh I know that guy, hold my place" then disappears. And then you play the "Hey the line is moving, where is she?" game, but fear not when it's your turn too purchase the pin, and all you have is her pin bag,she miraculously will reappear.

#02 She gets lost very easily. even though she has been to the parks more times then Eisner himself, she will from time to time get confused and start to wander, then she will call us, and ask where we are. We know this as the come get me I'm lost sign, then we play the where are you game, and she will say things I can see the Star Wars thing on my right I'll wait for you here. We have gotten smart and will wait, when we see people with pins running we follow 'cause they're all going to see her.

The Number One reason why it's bad to go to the parks with pintrader is …. Drum roll please.

You have to keep track of her pin bag, cell phone, palm pilot, and pins. You have to ready to blame yourself whenever she errs. Example… Why sure I would love to trade with you now, where is my bag?…. Now jump in and say oh sorry Kathryn I left it in the car and retrace her footsteps to find it. Take your time she will chat until you return.

You have to make sure she eats, and goes to the bathroom. You need to make sure no children get trampled when the people come to see her.

You have to make sure her robe is clean, and her rock climbing gear is ready cause you never know when.

And last but not least, you have to make sure she gets her ham quiche after the pin meet on Friday's because you will never hear the end of it if she doesn't ask Frank.

All in all.

Kathryn is now and will forever be the Mouse-pins ambassador, and will are all loyal subjects in her court, she is a good queen and loves us all as her children, We even refer to her as the mother Theresa of pins.

Why people came from miles around when her image appeared on the Contemporary windows. (Why do you think they are covered up, they are building a shrine).


Disclaimer please read.

There is no bad to knowing her, I for one love her as does my family. This is all done in fun, any references to persons either living or cast members are purely fictional and coincidental, Kathryn has only climbed a rock at Disney once and played God it was done under strict supervision and fell within the guidelines set forth by Disney management article 345-5 acting in a God like fashion while at Disney, any pins bought will be sold with 9% apr financing dealer stock may be affected delivery not included. Mouse-pins are a trademark owned by the Southland Corporation and is used here with their permission. The title of Mother Theresa of pins was used with the strict approval from the Vatican and the Pope. Bellsouth a Cingular Company provides Kathryn's cell phone service. She has a 45'000 minute plan with weekends free. The friends and family numbers reach the bazillions and are not included in the plan. Kathryn has been mistaken to be Mother Theresa on several occasions, but has only cured 1 person that we know of and that person was wearing a blonde wig at the recent pin event, and calling himself a Caballero girl.
