The Death Of An American Icon.

[King Schultz]

When will it be released in Australia? Is it the standard 6 years after the rest of the world?

Also, Dan Murphy's sell liquor not candy apples. I'd suggest writing an email of complaint about that casting decision.

No, no.

Not an Aussie liquor store. . . our own Dan Murphy from here on the DIS.

I'm sure Kim is excited at the latest news. . .

My day, no, my week was made when I read this news!!!



At least it was until Coke shot out my nose when I got to the casting of Miley Cyrus as Ol' Yeller..

As an embarrassing side note, it only clicked in my head about a month ago that the dog was called ol' Yeller because he was yellow. *hangs head in shame*

I am sad to hear of his passing.

But you guys made me laugh harder than a night at the Comedy Barn in Pigeon Forge.

It was indeed a sad thing to hear.


But I'm glad you're enjoying the thread- I think it is funnier than a Pigeon Forge comedy club, but not as funny as an unwashed grandmother in a wheelchair rolling into a lake.

You always make me laugh! Oh that poor, poor grandma! I still don't know what corn people are, but I am afraid to ask.

Oh I'll tell the 'corn' thing one of these days. And the "great dwarf brawl of '75".

 

[THEDISNEYTHREE]

I feel I missed out on so much! I will patiently be waiting... take your time... when you're ready.

It's a little late to get into it, but it all came from "What's the Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen In WDW?" thread I mentioned before. There was once a "Classic Thread" board with that one and my original thread riffing om the 'corn' stuff. but a server glitch wiped them out.


I did find a post of mine I wrote soon after- it's from Dec 21, 2002, and part of a longer CB cyber party. It's mt Springsteen imitation plus a song about the server issue sung to the tune of "The River".

Want to see it? Here it go. . .

How's youse all doing out there tonight? {applause}

All right. . . good youse guys are here. . {applause}

You know, back when I was kid growing up in Freehold, we didn't have much money and my dad was a good guy, but one time he made me cut my hair and I said, "Hey dad, it's my hair!!"

{{applause}}

Okay. . all right. . . anyways. . I remember this time. . this time. . I had a girl. . and I was so poor, we couldn't afford a phone, so when I wanted to talk to her, I had to talk into this little tin can with a string on it. . and I don't know. . but for some reason, she never seemed to hear what I was saying, and she broke up with me. .

{{awwwwww. . scattered boos}}

No, no. . it's okay. . because you see, I remember. . I remember that one night when I was so low. . my girl wouldn't talk to me. . and my dad smashed my guitar and used it to start a fire to burn the hair he had cut off my head. . and it was that day I decided I didn't want to be no accountant like my ma wanted. . I wanted to be a rock and roll star.. . so I went on this website I hung out at called the DIS. . and I poured my heart out there. . and then I found myself going back there over and over. . then one night; I looked. . and my post count was way lower then it should have been. . . and so I wrote this little song about it. . and I want to play it for youse guys right, and it's called The DISer.

A one, a two, a three four. . .

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
But then I got a computer
And found this Disney site
No matter how much I resist
I'm there every night. .


I'm going down as a DISer
Yes as a DISer I'll ride
Oh down as a DISer I'll die. . .

Then I got made a mod
and man that was all she wrote
And for my 5000th post
I got a thanks and a Dan Murphy quote
It went up to the Birthday board
And the WM's put it all to rest
No more big smiles; no thanks from Uncle Kyle
No bouncies, no more "Willy, you're the best"

That night I went down as a DISer
And my post count took a dive
Oh down as a DISer I did ride

I tried posting more, to make up for what was gone
But lately the "server's busy", so I guess the deal is done
Now all them posts seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
And Alex acts like he don't care

But I remember the Corn and Emu legs
And Charlie NJ for a classic he begged
At night on this place I'd lie awake
And post as many dwarf brawls as the server would take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Are lost posts just a glitch in the server my friend
Or is it something worse?

That sends me down as a DISer
When my post count took a dive
That sends me down as a DISer tonight. .

You've got talent sir! Those darn corn people still elude me... server glitch. I've made my peace with just knowing it was something strange seen at Disney and will keep a look out for people eating corn on my next trip. Now about these dwarf brawls you keep mentioning...

 

[King Schultz]

Okay, here's the dwarf brawl story.


This was my first contribution to the classic "What's the strangest thing you've seen at WDW" thread. I'm going by memory, but it's a true story and my post went something like this:


"My strangest thing actually happened at Disneyland back in 1975. I was born and raised in Long Beach, but we were selling our house and moving to the Midwest, so my mom dropped my younger brother and I off at Disneyland one summer morning for one last visit before we left.

I was 15, he was 14, and we had a blast running around the park, hitting rides, eating, hanging at the old Magic Store, playing the old arcade games. . .

We were supposed to meet our folks out front at 6pm, so around a quarter 'til we headed that way. We got to the area between the train station and ticket booths were you could see the pick-up/drop-off area and didn't see our car, so we hung out there waiting om them.

In the area, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs were interacting with guests coming and going and we were watching that, when a group of 5 or 6 wanna-be gang-bangers (around our age) pushed their way through the crowd and one said something to the young lady playing Snow White. I couldn't hear what was said, but Snow said something back, and the kid reached out and grabbed her in a inappropriate place.

Next thing I knew, one of the Dwarfs slammed his plastic head into the kid and knocked him back, Snow screamed, and the brawl was on!

The gang-bangers were winging punches at the Dwarfs, but their big plastic heads absorbed the blows; the Dwarfs were winging punches at the gang-bangers, but their floppy arms weren't doing much damage either. Pretty soon Dwarfs and gang-bangers were rolling around fighting, with about a hundred people standing around in stunned silence.

Just as security arrived, I noticed my folks pull up and my brother and I got the heck out of there. On the way home we told them about what would be called "The Great Dwarf Brawl of '75" to this day.

We moved soon after."

I never dreamed it was an actual true story. I thought you were just making silly stuff up, but you can't make up stuff like that! Too funny! Not poor Snow White, but the flailing floppy arms of her protectors . I would have been in shock too. So that is why my parents always took us to Disney World growing up and we only got to go to Disneyland once, too many shenanigans going on there.

Even the little kids were too stunned to cry.

I bet they were, poor little kiddos. Aside from "The Great Dwarf Brawl" it had to be awesome growing up in California and being able to visit DisneyLand so often. Lucky You!

Oh, it was pretty cool.

Went to Disneyland a couple times a year plus anytime relatives visited.

But we went to Knotts Berry Farm almost every Sunday after church when I was little. It was just the train, the stage coach, the Calico Mine Train, a merry-go-round, some seals to feed, and Uncle Johns Animal Farm. . . but it was free to get in.


Also hit Marineland, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Magic Mountain, Universal Studio Tour, and the old Pike in the LBC. . . it's why I'm a theme park fan to this day.
