Originally Posted By DlandDug HOLD THE PRESSES! DlandDug and iluvdisneyland finally met.

(I now know why he often refers to himself as "giggling.") And I did, of course, point out something that I knew would be of great interest to all our friends here in the Play Pen. The ODV cart he was working at that day was offering fresh, hot, delicious POPCORN.

I think not!), I got halfway down the boulevard when my nostrils were assailed with a powerful scent that was almost aphrodesiacal. No, it wasn't rancid hotdogs from Award Wieners. It was an ODV cart, right in front of the "Cahuenga Building," offering fresh, hot, delicious Turkey Legs (mmmmm)! Just think-- Turkey Legs within a stone's throw of the Tower of Terror! Life truly IS good.

The prospect of having an embassy that serves a delicious Cobb Salad is not to be sneezed at...

I could not help but note (as others have elsewhere) that POPCORN made a fairly strong showing. At least, a lot stronger than, than, than... well...modesty forbids.
