More folks ta see just how humiliatin' it is fer me 'cause a my two looney sisters!!!

You do plenty of that on your own. : )

In fact if they were smart ( or if they haven't already ) they should place a few posters here to float ideas out to see what the initial reaction is from this segment of their audience -- the Disney obsessed... And where else could they acquire survey information from witches ?

Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, but then they'll hit another thread and see that I'm part of the Walmarted grup of folks who only has a few pre-2000 memories so can't really hold them to the same standard folks like you & TDL do, so they'll forgive me.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 ^^Very good point. But you're also OLD enough to remember when they actually had more than one boat on the RoA ... including those nifty (just wanted to use that word once in a post like real writers do) Explorer Canoes. That's definitely a big strike against you!

What are you trying to say? or trying to smugly NOT say?
