Lol. Things that amuse.>> One of the truly best days of 2010 ... and one that won't soon be forgotten! (oh, and that still remains the ONLY Krispy Kreme I have ever had in my life)

I think he needs to get his eyes checked (and the rest of his head examined too!)

The character you mention is like an anti-Figment ... only exists in nightmares and to drum up post counts on another site.

Too bad, all I have is some mediocre wine as I'd really like a few Bloody Marys now.

I tried to tell him ... so hard ... TWICE ... and he just wasn't getting the point in the end (which is odd for a fanboi). Oh well, it made for some crazy, zany fun ... and that was before Tony Baxter came into the picture ... << <<It's hard to believe your post had that much effect on him. You've only made me cry 2 or 3 times at the most.>> That's it?!??!! I had hoped the tally would have been much higher. As to said fanboi, I sent him a note last night formally introducing myself and trying to just make light of what was a funny situation. thus far, no response ... we'll see what happens.

And they were trying to figure out if there was anything left to see at the MK before putting their lives in God's/Oprah's/Spiritual Power of Your Choice's hands by taking a WDW monorail (MOTTO: No deaths since 2009!) over to The Park Formerly Known as Epcot '94 (OK, that one was just for Pierce). << <<Did y'all find any Hidden Mickeys on the construction Walls?>> No. Disney has gotten so cheap, they don't include those anymore. <<Does this mean I have to try, and remember another Park abbreviation?>> Nope. That was just one on the house. >> Lee was still sulking like a fanboi who missed out on a LE pin release over his inability to find something Hannah Montanaish to wear when we met up with HUGE, AND I MEAN REALLY HUGE Disney Internet sensation Martin from the UK (MOTTO: Like the USA, only better healthcare, worse weather and we speak British!) I tried everything I could to cheer him up, including but not limited to telling all sorts of deeply secretive Spiritual tales ... and ripping many online folks, Disney execs and any/every politician out there. << <<People were asking Martin for his autograph on his last trip to WDW. He has the same problem as you.>> Martin, much like myself, deserves all the adulation he is bestowed. I think Lee is a bit overrated myself (please don't tell him I said that!) I am really anxious to read Martin's comments on DL, as he visited for the first time in the middle of his WDW/USA trip. I heard enough to know he was blown away, but I'd love to see him put it in words ... hopefully, HERE! On that MAGICal place, he'd just cause a rash of fanboi suicides ... >> But lo and behold ... or yo ho and behold, he cheered up when I said I would ride PoC with him. << <<Did y'all wear Pirate Bandanas on the ride?>> Should have brought mine from Pirate Night on the Magic! >> We looked at the Dole Whip stand ... but neither of us said 'now that the price is above $3 and the portion is half what you get at DL, let's do the cliche fanboi thing and get us some.'<< <<Heathens!>> Proud of it! >> With that we were in the Hub, where you can gaze majestically at the weenie. No, not that one. Or even that one. I am speaking, naturally, of the GIANT CRANE THAT RUINS MAGICAL ONCE IN A LIFETIME WDW VACATIONS. Yes, since it is just getting close to the time we should be thinking about Halloween, what is WDW doing? Putting up those Christmas lights on the Castle. Just very, very, very, very, very poor show. << <<I think they ought to decorate Cindy's Castle to look like a big Turkey for Thanksgiving.>> Don't give them any ideas ... if they could fit in a Thanksgiving season between Halloween and Christmas, you better believe they would. >> With that in mind, I was thinking a few things, including 'I'm not in Anaheim' ... 'I'd really like to head over to one of the Lodges and go to sleep' ... 'I wish Pierce were here' ... and ... 'I really could use a magical WDW restroom'. That's when Leewhateverthehellhecallshimselfhereinsomeegotriptowintheunendingloveoffanboistheworldover reminded me that I had 'just went'. << <<You wouldn't have been able to see that new restroom if you were in Anaheim.>> They have new restrooms of their own! <<You should have grabbed a power nap behind the big cask of Wine in the POTC queue. It's really cool over there.>> I'd rather have had some nice wine to drink at the WL's Territory Lounge ... <<I would have still been at Aloha Isle enjoying my Dole Whip.>> Not with that tiny portion ... <<I've noticed that with age sometimes I just get a few feet out the door of the restroom when I have to turn around, and go back inside. So don't feel so bad about it.>> Well, as Leo will tell you, there's nothing more magical at WDW than the restrooms. >> With that, we began our long, sad, trudge down Main Street, knowing the MK was going to miss us more than we would miss it ... and wishing we too had so little scruples that we could be driving ECVs and smashing anyone and anything in our wake. << <<It's really more fun when you get those folks in close quarters like a store. Man do they ever squeal when you pin them up against a wall!>> They should be outlawed except for truly disabled/injured folks ... morbid obesity and laziness shouldn't count. >> Next up: OMG!!! It's Tony Baxter. And ... Does he REALLY not get who he is talking to (fanboi, not Tony!) << <<I'm so excited I'm shaking!>> Yeah. But what are you shaking?

I still think you should start a website with photos and then do some DVDs too ... the fanbois will buy anything Disney. <<I betcha Spirit also spends hours examining hi-res pictures of construction walls, too. He just doesn't want to admit that either. But with Lost off the air, who can blame him?>> Nope. I don't care about those walls at all ... but I do miss Lost a lot ... but it was great to have ABC's comedy lineup back tonight <<It's okay, Spirit. Cheer up. Come clean with your potty/construction wall/piles of dirt addiction. I still know more than you when it comes to Disney potties, so you can still make fun of me.>> OK. You pulled me out of the closet, which to be fair has loads of Disney fanbois in there and some of them should really try some soap and shampoo and deodorant. And I will still make fun of you. <<(Secret of the day that not even Spirit knows: the toilet handles in Liberty Square are tiny replicas of the Declaration of Independence! Take a magnifying glass and look at them next time you're there>> You learn something every day in the LP!

That and my son will think I have truly lost it at last!
