2. That kid was a tool. He made me want to hit him the first time he opened his mouth.

Hunky Husband says that when we were in college (at UGA—GO BUCKEYES!), it was a badge of honor to get drunk and get your @$$ kicked by HAIRY DOG.

***y a w n***

anyway, that lion picture is awesome.

Second, Why is the kid who claims to be hugging more than half an arm length away from the tiger. He is just outside the scopre of what a hug would constitute. That puts his hand in the center of the tigers body. Right at the tail.

This is B.S. The kid is lying and the fater should be ashamed.

I just got back from WDW. The happiest place on Earth! Er, well–unless Tigger bitch-slaps you, I suppose.

Inventive little buggers, aren’t they?

Why didn’t someone interview Tigger?

They probably put him to sleep. You know how they are at Disney – heartless.

Hey, you know those 2 old guys in the balcony on the Muppet Show? Which one are you? The skinny, wizened bald one or the fat, wizened bald one?

My husband always tells me it’s a sign I’m getting old when I get on my “oh these kids today” tear.

Stupid husband…

Statler and Waldorf? Heh. I’m not sure which one is which, but I’d have to be the tall one. And I get the same “Honey, you’re ranting again” from my girlfriend, bless her heart. I probably sound older than my actual age when I go off like that, but my upbringing was definitely old-fashioned and it tends to show. “Kids these days” might be less of a sore point if modern child-rearing methods got results on par with the old-school ways, but they don’t. Not even close.

I kinda disagree with this guy’s take. My ex went to Disney once and has seen Mickey get mugged by kids dying to see him. Next time (realizing their mistake), Mickey was against a rail (tied back so they couldn’t knock him over) to let people see him. Same thing. Mickey got mugged, but this time he was tied up and couldn’t defend himself.

Now, they put them all in special areas so people can get signatures. But it is certainly possible to get Tigger or a minor character (yes, Tigger is pretty minor in the scheme of things) alone in a given area and have your way with him or her. In Orlando, I’ve seen Tigger, Pooh and many others wandering around the park completely unprotected. Kids are very aggressive when they want to meet them. I think it’d be a pretty crappy job. 100 degrees with snotty brats hanging on ya all day? Yeah, I’d have a short fuse with a teenager too.

I’ve almost gotten into a fight with some ass dressed up as that big fat bear from Robin Hood who kept taking my stuff. I wanted to beat him up, honestly. One time, its cute. Second time, it’s annoying. Third time, I’m ready to throw fists and kick his hippy bear ass.

LOL. Though I don’t like to admit Tigger is a minor character. Beats to hell those two weird chipmunks–Chip and Dale? Who in blazes are they???

Tigger Sunni or Shite ? Looks like jihaid in Disney

But if you bring it to my hood….
It’s Open season!

This is a quick out of court settlement. Happens all the time. No matter what the kid did. Tigger’s flippin burgers in the Space Port Cafe by now….

Update: Man With Black Hat says there’s more to this story than meets the groin.

I call bullcrap, Daddy will call a lawyer.

The talk is it’s Whisenhut (sp?) because he’s tight with Ben–our QB who has the maturity of an eight year old. Who knows?

Maybe a nice motorcycle ride with Big Ben will seal the deal.

I’d rather not get into it. From here on out, I guess I’ll root for the team I hate the least – Go Chargers.

What’s the word in Steel town? Who is the next coach going to be?

Think this is the Chargers year. The talk is it’s Whisenhut (sp?) because he’s tight with Ben–our QB who has the maturity of an eight year old. Who knows?

It was nice to see a coach resigning without the usual bitterness and finger pointing. Everyone seems to think Cowher will be back in the NFL in a year or two, pretty much get whatever he wants. (You know what they say: when they say it’s not the money, it’s the money!!!)

Kid’s lying. If he “just had his arm around his back,” why did he lose his balance when Tigger started rotating? He was holding onto something on the back of the Tigger costume, probably the seam/zipper or the area underneath the mask.

Exactly right, it looks like he was possibly yanking on tigger’s tail.

Lying little snot.
