Who Gollum or the guy I worked with?? Gollum was a hobbit until he found the ring and lived inside a mountain for thousands of years and the guy from work definitely was short enough to be a hobbit.

Aww. But Gollum is kinda sweet in his own way.

He had his moments. I actually really like Gollum, he is a very sympathetic character.

BRAT!! BTW: I checked out your blog,,Its great!

We can pretty much wear short sleeves and capris all year 'round here. We may need a jacket for a month or so.

Thanks! I've really neglected my blog now that I have been on the DIS regularly. I should go update over there today.

~ The Man Report ~ ~ Urgent Matters & Nutty Limericks ~


It was payback time.

After years of waiting on LtP outside of the companion bathrooms, the time had come for my clan to wait on me.

Can, commode, John, crapper, restroom, outhouse, and so on…

I’ve got other names but have been scolded numerous times in the past for using that language… even though I don’t consider it offensive… some do.

I find these are good times to check email, stock prices, the DIS and sports scores. My handy little PDF, the Palm Treo, provides me with instant access to the outside “World”. In 20 minutes, I can be completely up to date with the happenings outside of paradise. Last March, I posted to blue’s thread from my Palm Treo inside the commode facility at Epcot’s Germany. Good times.

Sometimes, I’ll even make a phone call. There’s only so much you can do inside the stall of a public restroom. You get bored. I’ll call associates, friends back home, my parents, the house-sitter, whoever. I don’t care. I’m just killing time.

I’ll even bust out a pen from my fanny pack and create some nutty limericks. I write them on a toilet seat cover and leave it for the next park guest to read. I like to brighten people’s day.

Occasionally, I enjoy making people uncomfortable. If I know someone is in the stall next to me, I’ll ask them how their day is going or if they know who won the Yankee’s game. If I know there’s someone at the urinal or sink, I’ll bang on the stall side-barrier and holler “Heaven’s to Mergatroid” or “Fire in the Hole” as loud as possible. When I’m feeling really “saucy”, I’ll simply moan.

At the airport in Denver I once asked the gentlemen next to me for a “mercy flush”. He didn’t respond.

However, my absolutely favorite thing to do is the “fake phone call”. This is the most fun when the restroom facility is packed with the after-dinner crowd. Sitting within the sanctuary of my individual toilet stall, completely anonymous, I make my phone ring. After several rings, I pretend to answer it. Depending on my mood, I have four pre-planned discussions that I will have with the non-existent caller. They are:

• Eduardo, the angry Brazilian tourist
• Rocko, the Brooklyn thug
• David, the effeminate mailman
• Heidi, the hillbilly polar bear rancher


Unfortunately, this visit didn’t afford me any time to have fun. Thanks to the previous evening’s crustacean platter & carb feast, there was nary any time to spare as I burst thru the doors and charged the nearest stall.

Three and half minutes later, I washed my hands in the sink and walked outside to my beloved family. “That didn’t take long”, LtP commented.

“False Alarm”, I lied.

It’s day 2 of my lovely vacation and we’re off to Fantasyland. Big Thunder is closed and we’re saving Pirates for another day. The plan for the next trip to MK is to step outside of our beloved routine and really hit some of the attractions we’ve never done before. It is my belief that this will provide me with some much needed “New” material for the trip report. One can only talk about toilets so many times.

We skip past the Haunted Mansion as neither child remembers it but is now afraid of it due to the name and its ominous appearance.

Thru the tunnel connecting Frontierland to Fantasyland where we park the stroller in the “designated stroller parking area” so we can get in line for Peter Pan.

Woe be it to the park guest who DOESN’T use the mandatory parking facility. You may get “snapped” at by a disgruntled CM or worse, your stroller could be placed in there “for” you where the likelihood of ever finding it again is remote.

Walking into the queue for Peter Pan, and past the sign telling you the length of time you’ll wait to ride, reminds me of the greatest business promise that is rarely delivered. “Under Promise & Over Deliver”. Disney goes out of their way to achieve this simple, yet often overlooked business practice.

The sign says 20 minutes. We’re riding Peter Pan within 3. This is a common Disney theme. We check in for the Princess Lunch yesterday and are told seating will commence in 20 minutes yet they call our name in 5.

Most businesses preach this philosophy to its people but Disney delivers on the promise… in most cases anyway. It’s just one more thing that endears me to Disney… matching business philosophies.

Those of you who’ve never done the Peter Pan ride need to give it some consideration. It’s a simple enough attraction with some “light” animatronics while you fly overhead but it’s fun and something I’ve enjoyed since I was 12 years old (at Disneyland). Give it a try next time you’re down and you won’t be disappointed.

Next Up: Clown College: Tougher than advertised.

MB and LtP ride behind LG & I on Peter Pan. MB is smiling. MB = Gud

Oh Boy...Oh Boy an Update

I’ve got other names but have been scolded numerous times in the past for using that language..

I find it hard to believe that you have been scolded for such things…

I find these are good times to check email, stock prices, the DIS and sports scores. My handy little PDF, the Palm Treo, provides me with instant access to the outside “World”. In 20 minutes, I can be completely up to date with the happenings outside of paradise.:

I knew a guy that used to play a hand held poker game…with the sound on...

Sometimes, I’ll even make a phone call.

Glad you don't have my number

I’ll even bust out a pen from my fanny pack and create some nutty limericks. I write them on a toilet seat cover and leave it for the next park guest to read. I like to brighten people’s day.

As long as it’s not a ransom note

“Help I am being held prisoner in the toilet paper roll.. …send help

Occasionally, I enjoy making people uncomfortable

Some thing tells me it’s just not in the toilet that you like to do that

However, my absolutely favorite thing to do is the “fake phone call.

I can hear it now….

“I’ll be back in to finish making the salad as soon as I am done here…could you bring a roll to stall 2”

“Under Promise & Over Deliver”. Disney goes out of their way to achieve this simple, yet often overlooked business practice.

I find this to be a very good business practice

Those of you who’ve never done the Peter Pan ride need to give it some consideration. It’s a simple enough attraction with some “light” animatronics while you fly overhead but it’s fun and something I’ve enjoyed since I was 12 years old (at Disneyland). Give it a try next time you’re down and you won’t be disappointed.

I agree it is a cool attraction...

"Fire in the Hole" Oh my I just choked on my onion rings

I've always loved reading your TR and had to come out of lurkerville to comment on this one.

 

[jordanyosh]

Men, crappers, 20 minutes of solitude=heaven.

I, too, try to make use of that time in the restroom. I will make phone calls, but more likely receive phone calls....I have a WDW itinerary draft in one of the drawers. If I'm at home, I just whip that puppy out and I'm set for the duration.

Talking to people...even made up ones...is funny, but I wonder what the other people listening think?

 

[Disneyolic]

No multi-quoting this time. I'm not really sure how to answer some of it. I did, however, read all the toilet stuff to Rob, who laughed and told me of his friend who used to do the same stuff in the mens' room. Rob told me his friend was doing it when just the 2 of them were in there but Rob walked out and another guy walked in. But his friend didn't know that. Rob thinks that he is really funny.

My favorite part of your update is the "mercy flush". That one totally cracked me up. Thanks ... it's been a hard day today and I needed that laugh.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

There is an old german saying, which I cant remember word for word right now (not that that matters), but it goes something like this:
Hurry, kids, wash your feet, mom needs the bowl to make salad........

And I just ordererd the deluxe edition of Uncle John's Bathroom reader for both my son and husband. Must be a guy thing.......... but probably not practical to carry around WDW.

Sorry, I hope you already ate dinner........

Why does this not surprise me

The stroller police are brutal

Did you have to go and put THIS thought into his head

 

[GeminiAngel]

Buzz, you left me speechless with your bathroom follies!

Back when I used to carry a radio at work, I would say in my highest pitched voice "Goodbye cruel world" and hold my radio to the flushing toilet.
For a good part of 6 months I was the Phantom Flusher.
Not bad for a girl, huh?

 

[winkers]

I just read your bathroom escapades to my sons. You are now the hero to my 14 yr old son!

Your bathroom limericks reminded me of when my sister was in labor. I went into the bathroom in the birthing suite and there was a poster with definitions of poop. Tht was 17 years ago and I still remember some of them. Lincoln log, ghosty poopy.........I'll spare you the definitions. My mom was discussed and the rest of us thought it was hilarious.

Gee, were you in Ogden Utah back in 1990?

Here's my favorite little bathroom poem for ya,

If you sprinkle
When you tinkle.
Be a sweetie
and wipe the seatie!


Ahhh, nothing like a little potty humor!
