Santa ... Shannon

Hey guys, how'd you like to help Santa out? Santa has a helper who is feeling a little down and out and is thinking about hanging up the red suit. His name is Oliver, and he works at Uptown Jewelers on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom. He is an artist who paints limited edition watch faces. If you are going to the MK anyhow, would you pop in and tell Oliver "Santa really needs your help" or "the children deserve a beautiful Santa like you". Now, remember that he doesn't LOOK like Santa when working at Disney! He is clean-shaven and trim, so you'll have to go to the artists station and read the

Now to develop a "mug skimmer" to read the RFIDs off of valid cups, and retransmit any ID that hasn't been used in the last 5 minutes when I hold my cup up to the machine. At least I don't have to set up a camera to see their pin, that’s a real pain! LOL

I have a somewhat unconventional way of avoiding water collecting in the awning, I leave the rear arm un-braced. The weight of the roller keeps the awning extended, but if rain starts to collect in the awning the arm will swing toward the camper and the awning will become a trough draining at the rear. The only real risk I can think of is in whipping winds the loose arm might be bashed against the camper, and the awning could flap until ripping. I've had none of these problems despite some pretty turbulent weather. Use at your own discretion, milage may vary, results are not typical, no warran

A WORKLIGHT!? Seriously? How gullible! That is obviously the antimatter container one would use to patch a time-space rift, like those caused by the Mannheim effect! I'm surrounded by rubes. JK about the rubes thing, of course.

While we're hijacking: I hope everyone had a most pleasant Veterans of Domestic Wars Day yesterday... what's that, you've never heard of that holiday? Maybe I'm the only one who refers to their wedding anniversary that way! The Mrs and I hit the 16 year mark yesterday and we'd both agree that it’s a miracle of God's grace that two so very different and difficult people should be so thoroughly knit together.

Ha ha! Yes! Data had to seal the temporal rift caused by the Mannheim effect using antimatter, the Star Trek equivalent of duct tape! Well patched! Welcome to the geekdom!

It's not so much the cost of the tent pegs that get me, it's the gall of putting the Christian symbol on the bag to let you know who is sticking it to you. Kinda like strippers wearing crosses... what exactly is the message you are trying to send? BTW, yes I know the original vendor of the tent pegs probably never intended their product to be used for price gouging, I guess I just wish Disney had repackaged them before chiseling their guests. Also, duct tape has never been used to FIX anything! "Fixed" implies a permanent state of repair which duct tape cannot guarantee. It is however useful f

We have spent most of our time in 1800 (full) 300 (preferred) and 500 (premium). As I have stated numerous times, I love 500. Close enough to walk to both the pool and the marina. Close enough to hear the activity at HDDR and the boat horns (are they really gone?!) The carriage rides will often loop through 500 and I love the clop-clop. It's shady. It has it's OWN comfort station (I will not do 400, 600 or 700 for that reason). Easy-in, easy-out, with little cut-through traffic. It's a pet loop and very close to the dog park Loop 300 is a close second in my book.

Are you suggesting that my Mrs might have demonstrated such miserably poor judgment as to do shots with an already obviously inebriated butthead sporting a bottle of Rumplemintz, obviously intended lubricate the ladies! Not my gal!

You know, I really don't remember anything from the swing forward until (what I assume was) a goodly while later sitting on the stoop waiting for a cab. I assume she was impressed, we had a whirlwind romance, and realizing that such a young and virile free bird as myself could not be caged, she moved on before it all led to despair.

Agreed, THAT's what I know as a Snakebite... at as of now, my previously stated rule does not affect their consumption.

BTW, I made that last post before reading about the attempted hijacking using Irish Car Bombs. Sorry to add fuel to the mix. Speaking of fuel, you know what reminds me of fuel? Rumplemintz! Rumplemintz! Rumplemintz! Rumplemintz! I too had a bad experience with Rumplemintz. I took a bottle of it to a halloween party a coworker was throwing for mostly work friends. Why Rumplemintz? Cause chicks dig it and I worked with some very diggable chicks. Well, I tried to be the life of the party and did a shot with every one who wanted one (again, mostly chicks). I finally got up the nerve to work my wa

Yeah, I have a pretty firm policy about never again drinking any beverage I've puked through my nose... did I just say that out loud?

Yeah, that's right. If you are printing on white media and ironing on to a non-white shirt, you will need to trim the iron-on with scissors or an X-acto. If you are using either white or clear media on a white (or VERY light shirt) you will still want to trim closely to your graphic, but errors in the trimming will be less obvious than with a darker shirt.

The problem is, I think you are saying you want to do an iron-on with no background. Is that right? Iron-ons come in two sorts that I know of, white media or clear. The white media can be ironed onto any color shirt, the clear needs a REALLY light shirt color to keep from muddling the colors in your graphic. If you go with the white the best you can do is cut the shape carefully before ironing it on. Professionally produced shirts will actually print a white knockout on the shirt before printing the graphic so the colors will be crisp regardless of the shirt color.

We've eaten there for two lunches and a dinner, three of us each time, and really don't think we've had a bad dish between us. Maybe a litte spendy, but pretty comparable to PFChangs. If you're looking for cheap eats at AK, check out Flametree BBQ, that's a must-do in my book.

Hey, if they can give Water Park passes to pool hoppers because Stormalong Bay was too full (!) they can sure as heck SELL you the upgrade past the 14 days. Just make sure that you are at a window with a lot of guests around so there is always the opportunity for a spectacle... which Disney hates. Start with sugar, and facts (like the CM's name), but don't be afraid to embarrass them... you'll never see those people around you again, but Disney sure wants to! Finally, try to drill down to whether the CM you're speaking to has the power to do anything, and if they aren't ask for a manager right

That's interesting, April 1st to June 14th. I knew that originally PH was used as a dining hall and community center before becoming a dedicated dinner show. Now I know how long it lived this former life, less than 2 months depending how long the upfit took.

The last few visits were for lunch and were quite good and reasonably priced (for Disney).

I always thought it was hyperbole when old folks talked about "it seemed like only yesterday" when some long-passed event was mentioned. Now I understand... 2007!?

Another CM killed by PW? Wasn't it just a year or so ago that a CM was killed there? I think Disney needs to stick with stuff they design and forget about this "off-the-shelf" crapola.

I just uploaded "version 20" of the Site Maps, with a number of minor corrections. So be sure to get 'em while they're hot!

Yeah!!! That's great that you could fix that... I gave some poor fiend grief over saying "Ids" in their title when it should have been "IDs", with out ever knowing that the system made it impossible to type it right. Oh, who am I kidding, I would have still found something to pick on...

Off to quite a start... 13 dogs for 7 people! Crazy, man!
