The 'other' Pete's random thought and rants

[pjweaver]

I am using this bandwidth to store my crazy rants until I can publish them all, and welcome all comments/hate

My insider source (hint, it rhymes with kryno) tells me Pete was not sick at all. In fact, the show was delayed because Pete and the rest of the team had to attend a deposition [see Jack's post] on the activities and access JL was given to Orlando parks while she was working with the Dreams team as an operative with the CIA. Federal depositions can be quite lengthy, and with the federal court systems policy of overbooking board rooms, their assigned room was overbooked.

As more news becomes available I will leak it via my new user name #EricSnowden. We can all now safely assume that this was not a matter of equipment and mixing boards being kept at @WebmasterPete house. This is in fact a red herring, and also explains John and Kevin taking some mysterious vacation (Hawaii looks a lot like Guitmo).

Further investigation has shown that Cory has not be around lately, and it is believe that he is being detained in an undisclosed location. Julie has been spotted in public and can be assumed outside of the scope of this investigation.

As an agreement for his participation in this investigation, Ryno has had all of his debt swept clean, and Oliver will be permitted to stay in the country. Kathy has been excused after 3 hours of responding 'I don't recall', and Jackie was released after she expressed how "happy she was to be in a federal building" as well as "I always wanted to visit Cuba, it look so magical".

Responses from federal agencies were very tight lipped, and sources in Moscow simply laughed at me. Army Provost senior officer J Arnold McClavin simply told me not to ask anything.

After all my research I have learned one thing, everything you read on the internet is true.

I found a rock today. It was perfectly round and bright white with red stitches in it. Actually it may be a baseball, but I'm no geologist, so I am sending it to the Smithsonian for analysis. I'm also not an anthropologist, but that's only because I don't like people and doubt I'd like studying them.

Odd question, but where is today's episode of The Trip? I need me some T Echols

You know how you can win giant stuffed animals at Dinoland or get a giant sombrero in Mexico only to have to carry it around all day? Why doesn't Disney offer a giant Churro instead? That way you could eat it then enjoy your park time. I know what you're thinking, but a turkey leg is not the same as a three foot long churro (that's one meter for you Europeans).

Here is an idea for Mr. Iger to increase revenue at the parks.

Instead of having people make fast passes months in advance, install skeeball machines. They pay $1.00 to play and get a FP+ based on their score. Granted I have some details to work out, and we would need thousands of machines, but I think in the first quarter alone it would make a profit, it absolutely would in the first year.

You really want TSMM? You better know how to hit 350 points. An ADR at BOG you say, try for those little 100 point holes. Oh you got tea cups again, better put in another dollar and try again. There, now everybody (especially shareholders) are happy.

Forget the FP+, I'd spend the whole day playing skeeball.

With no DisUnplugged yesterday and no The Trip today I was forced to watch other podcasts. All I can saw is wow.

Why does everyone with a camera or phone feel the need to share their views or hidden gems? I think I heard there were hidden hall ways under the Magic Kingdom. Here is a fact I learned today, Epcot's world showcase has 11 countries AND a hidden entrance between France and England. It really is like watching my aunts slide show of her trip to Amish country and I don't think I finished a single one.

Here's a tip, antime you want to complain about the Dis, watch some of these hacks.

There's a ton of lifetime movies on youtube. Should have watched one of those instead.

Technically it's 90cm which is 10cm short of a meter, but who's counting?

I watched todays daily fix. The civil rights commision are siding with children dealing with autism. I await @jcb to comment on this, as I have no idea what a power this body holds. I think this would make for a great segment on the next show. Here are some questions:
What does this ruling actually mean from a legal standing?
In WDW's worst case scenario what could they be dealing with?
If I have a similar disability, say PTSD, could I make them run Space Mountain with the lights on?
If so, would you represent me?
What defines a cognitive disability, and what defines "full enjoyment of the parks"?
I understand that Disney cast members can not ask for proof under the ADA, so what stops unscrupulous people from claiming their child has special needs?
Where are we going?

I would like to add that for once, I am being serious about this. I in no way mean to discriminate people and families who deal with disabilities, but am curious. I am looking for a point of view from someone who knows the legal system as well as Disney.

I am all for equal treatment, but I can't help but think that every lawsuit raises my ticket prices as they pass on the cost. I also wonder what would happen if everyone gets an instant fastpass and 300 people show up at the same time for Peter Pan, how could Disney accommodate every individuals right to immediate access.

By answering any/all of these questions, I recognize that you are not acting as my legal council, will not hold you responsible for any advice, and will not be in conflict of interest should you represent @WebmasterPete against me in any restraining order cases pending or in the future.

I actually thought the same things this morning Pete.
I'm so surprised that one case got thrown out before even getting to the courts, yet these cases were won by the complainant. how does that even work if there is a precedent in place?

I got to practice my "Disney walk" today at a Phillies game. I don't have time for lollygagging people, and I don't have even one good knee. So as I slalomed through the crowds, I imagined I was on my way to ride Everest. As I made my way through hordes of middle schoolers buying ice cream, I was reminded of certain tour groups. All that was missing was a flag on a stick. When I wanted to buy a soda, I thought, "If I'm going to spend $4.75 on a bottle of Coke, I'd rather be at Disney right now!" Eventually, I did get my own ice cream, and a pretty generous serving, for only $5.50 that I was able to eat without it melting so fast and running down my entire arm. On my way out, I found a perfectly new baseball that was bright white and had pristine red stitches. Later I found out that it was actually just a rock.

ETA: Apparently, I was posting this just as Pete decided to get serious. I thought we were doing a "Random Thoughts" kinda thing here...

I'm sure he'll snap out of it quickly enough. Take his scotch off him and he'll be back to normal.
Or perhaps, give him his scotch and he'll be back to normal... I'm not sure which is correct just yet.....

The one I read about was an actual court of law, I don't have a clue what a civil rights commission is and what power it has.

I also don't know what level court gave a summary dismissal to the earlier case. We all have our areas, if I need to birth a kangaroo I will ask Jes, for this I went to Jack.

Oh, I have no idea either, that's why I said I thought the same thing as you in regards to hearing Jack's opinion on it.
And as for birthing a 'roo... I cant help you on that... those suckers are big angry things, I'm too frightened to go near one in the wild. Have you seen the meme of the big red male roo? he's more buff than Arnie!

 

[pjweaver]

I don't know if you can hunt kangaroo's, I remember Crocodile Dundee getting mad about it. Here in Merica people hate deer hunters until one runs in front of their BMW and totals it or ruins their prized tomatoes. God made some beautiful animals, but he also made them darn tasty when seasoned and grilled right.

I really should get back to my drinking now and nap. The doctor said I wouldn't get so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger out of there.

One last thought before I get banned, stay out of the damn lakes unless you're hunting gators.

I use this quote more often than a 29 year old woman should....

Todays thoughts are from re-watching last weeks podcast.

I love Pete's shirt... I want one

Tess stoned is funny as hell

Panda should put out a CD of him singing Sinatra and Richie Valens ballads

Craig is this generations Steven Wright @Teleclashter

I was working late last night and was thoroughly enjoying this thread - thanks for the laughs!
