The Great Movie Ride it is. While, in line we talk about the movies they were showing on the big screen. PJ had previous knowledge that my favorite musical, and one of my favorite movies ever, is Singin' In The Rain. Also, I had previously educated her on the Debbie Reynolds/Star Wars connection. (Debbie married Eddie. They had Carrie...) AND, I attempted to educate her on the Debbie-Eddie-Liz Taylor love triangle.
But her exact words to me were "Liz Taylor?!?"
"Yes," I reply. "Elizabeth Taylor"
Silence. PJ is smiling and nodding.
Oh good Lord, my work is definitely cut out for me. @@
Our tour guide was really excited to be working that day. Although, it was the Great Movie Ride, he could have been just trying out his acting chops. I motion my head towards the tour guide.
"Whaddya think?"
"Nope." PJ says with a shake of her head.
Hey, I'm just trying to enhance her social life. Fine, she passes on the GMR guy. Perhaps I'll find her an interesting lifeguard later in the trip.

p.s. My BIL is still off limits. Sorry, this is only done to protect the innocent. (the innocent would be me, btw)
We move along the ride. Peej recognizes Singin' In the Rain. Probably b/c Gene Kelly is singing in the rain, and the song he is singing is called "Singin' In the Rain". Ya can't get one past this girl, let me tell ya.
I'm surprised PJ has never heard of James Cagney, but I let her slide, b/c I realize not everybody can be as movie knowledgeable as some of us. Right, DTD?
Back to the ride...Mr. Trollop asks for a moment of silence and reverence as we approach Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. It's only right to show a little respect for the American cowboy. BUT, BabyPJ says "WHO?"
No
You
Did
Not.
This borders on blasphemy. Mr. T can forgive her if she had never seen one of their movies. He's a pretty understanding guy, but to not even know their name?!?!
On a side note, PJ thinks we are coming to Cincy in Sept. to go to a Reds game. *stifling a giggle* RonStoppable has decided to host a Clint Eastwood/John Wayne marathon. 46 hours straight. The Cpt. Jack jammies will be confiscated (while Peej is not in them, of course). These will be replaced with Wranglers, boots, a Cowgirl hardware shirt, and a cowgirl hat. Be prepared to be brainwashed and endoctrinated in the American cowboy lifestyle.
By the end of the weekend, PJ will know how to saddle a horse, tie a goat, rope a steer, muck out a stall, and turn and burn a barrel.
Mr. Trollop even said he would share some philosophies he has picked up re: cowgirls. For example, he has confidence she can throw a 50 lb. bag of feed without breaking a sweat, but she's not expected to carry in a bag of groceries. A cowgirl always has your back, even when it's against the wall. You'll be acting just like me, before the weekend is finished.
Are you ready to come to the "cowgirl" side?
Wait!
Let me rethink this...
If we get PJ to switch, then she might convince Hollywood to switch, who could convince all the Cast Members to switch, and there could possibly be a huge domino effect. All you city people would move to the country, bringing your beeline expressways and mall of americas with you, instead of one mom and pop ice cream shop in town, there would be a Starbucks on every corner, you would sue the principal of our elementary school for saying the Pledge of Allegiance and singing "God Bless America" every morning with the students, we wouldn't be allowed to send in homemade snacks to school for the kids bday's, b/c nobody trusts anybody anymore, our riding trails would be turned into skate parks....
Oko, just forget it. It's hardwork being a cowgirl. You have to get up early, break a sweat, we have wild animals out here in the country and wIerd noises, you have to feed your horse before you feed yourself, trudge out in 0 degree weather in a pair of Carhartts at 2 a.m. to doctor an injured animal. It sucks, trust me. I think you'll do just fine as a ballerina. Why don't you stick with that?
Was I writing a TR or sumpthin'?
Focusing...Great Movie Ride, WDW, got it.
At least BabyPJ has seen Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, and Fantasia. But most importantly, she has seen Indiana Jones. PJ: I seriously do not think I could hang out with you anymore if you hadn't seen Indiana Jones. Add it to my list of breaking points. Shall we review for future reference?
1. Peyton Manning
2. John Stockton
3. bad gravy
4. day old donuts
5. Commercialization of the simple life
6. Indiana Jones
Is everybody clear on that? We certainly wouldn't want bbn to be pushed past her breaking point. She's so mean and nasty, ya know.
Whelp, the GMR has ended and we make our grand exit. It's back to the TOT. Does bbn=persuasive? Or do I fail miserably?
