Actually Arnold does pronounce our state's name almost perfectly. Much better than we do. Use short a in Ca = Ka-lee-for-ne-a is the exact Spanish pronunciation. Maybe LeftCoaster & LittleDollClaudia will whip out their sources & verify for me. ;) As a Spanish speaker I'd pronounce it Arnold's way, but others would look at me & laugh. :eek:Reminds me of a history teacher I had in high school, in Colorado. One class had us looking at the Battle of San Jacinto, where Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna. As a native Texan, I pronounced it San (same vowel sound as "sand") Jah-sin-toh. He corrected me that the proper pronunciation in Spanish would be Sahn Hah-seen-toh.

My reply? "That may be, but we won the war, we'll say it the way we want." (I wasn't always such a smart-aleck in school, but he ruffled my Texas pride!)

Not that any of this has any bearing on the correct pronunciation of California, of course... except that under my reasoning, you all may yet be saying it the Spanish way in years to come, if you get my drift. :eek:

The proper Latino way is to say it Ca li for ni a with short vowels.

Some latinos say Sahn and others say San. My stupid spanish teacher told us that gracias is pronounced "Grassy as" I am like if I walked up to someone in my neighborhood and said "Grassy as" they would laugh, stare at me or hit me.

This didn't happen at a Disney Park, but it belongs here:
I was at Baskin Robbins the other night and a lady walked up to the counter trying to order either a Banana Split or a Banana Royale Sundae. She looks at the menu-where a large photo of the Banana Royale was pictured- and asks the clerk:
Are there Bananas in the sundae? :hysteria:
The clerk just clamly replied no. I had a real hard time keeping a straight face. So many answers to this crazy question!
She didn't even know that a Banana Spilt has three scoops of ice cream. (Of which there was also a large picture on the wall.) Maybe it's just me, but I thought something like how many scoops in a Banana Spilt was common knowledge.

I like to be the Stupid Guest once in a while.

My car is clearly not a rental. The license tag is F1GMENT and I have a Save Disney bumper sticker on the rear bumper. I will use valet parking when available (I am disabled and have a HP placard but I do tip). Even with the kind of obvious that I am a local I am often asked by the valets (who don't know me as a regular) if I need directions.

I will always ask: "How do I get to Disneyland from here?" Generally the response will either be to the Magic Kingdom or the suggestion that I go to the airport.

Okay, I just got back from a short trip to Disneyland and am sure that I did something stupid, but here is one I noticed someone else do. We were getting ready to use our fastpass on TOT and a lady and her kid jumped in front of us and showed the CM their passes. Then she procedded to get on the phone to call the other people in her party to tell them it was time, while she was still in the way. The CM motioned her to the side and she went, but her kid who had the passes stayed and tried to keep going into the line. Not a big deal, but I hate it when you are obviously in line for something and someone jumps in front of you.

Guest: Which way to the monorail?
Me: We dont have a monorail here at the Studios
Guest: Yes you do! I came here this morning on one!
Me: Oh, we tore that one down a few hours ago.

Im not lying on this...

Guest: What?
Me: Here's Your Sign. You either drove, took a bus or took the boat to get here. We don't have a monorail here at the Studios.

3. Same guy from earlier:
Guest: Is this the line for SpectroMagic? (Asking about the Line for Fantasmic....for those of you who aren't WDW savvy, SpectroMagic is a parade at Magic Kingdom...Fantasmic! is at the Studios....theres a 10-15 mile difference between the Studios and the MK park itself)
Me: Nope, this is the line for that monorail we tore down earlier.

-STOP! Right there, the answer is no.
-How rude, you dont even know what I was going to ask.
-Given the situation, your about to ask if we have one from the Studios to Epcot.
-How did you know?

Sorry to bring up old comments, but this really pissed me off. so I had to reply and voice my views. I hope you all understnd.

If I'm ever at Fantasmic, I hope I never see you. You seem to be an extremely miserable human being and you should be ashamed of yourself for the attitude you display. If you are so unable to deal with people in perhaps one of the most customer service oriented positions in the world, you should quit and find something more to your liking.I strongly suggest you don't pass judgment on us unless you've been in our shoes and have done it for a long time. I may not agree with the attitudes of some of the people who post here, or the people I used to work with, but Disney CMs do need a way to vent about their working conditions. Without it, I seriously think that a good chunk of us would turn to physical violence or other means of dealing with anger. In the four years I worked there I can't think of a single person who didn't complain about guests and/or working conditions at least once. It's how we deal with it that keeps us coming in every day. Unless we can joke and vent about the things we deal with, we'd never be able to go on working.

It is absolutely ludicrous to ask a Disney CM to go into work and "just deal with it." I know that a lot of people there hate the job, but I know that a lot of them love it too. And I seriously doubt that people who love the job love it because of the guests who think it's their right to be stupid. Even the nicest, most genuinely kind CM I worked with shared stories with me of guests he couldn't stand dealing with.I agree wit SRT 100% I have never worked for Disny, but my father has. he was painter for the Grand Floridian. I have, however, worked customer service my whole working life. I could fill an entire message board with stories. People in general are rude and stupid and it takes alot of inner strength for us to put up with them.

I think EVERYONE in the world should have to work fast food or retial or some sort of customer service so they would understand.

I think this board is the greatest thing ever. As a Disney Guest I make sure when I visit I try to make a CM's day better. I have even gone as far as to stop and help them clean off tables in a eatery. The smile on their face and the "Thanks" is all I need.

It is not at all ludicrous to expect Disney CM's to treat guests in a respectable manner. If you must vent your frustrations, do so behind the scenes. IndyandMarion seems to make it a point to ridicule and mock the guests at every turn. THAT is what I find uncalled for. As a Disney shareholder, I'm disgusted to read the things he posted and I'm quite sure his bosses would not think highly of his statements, either.Actualy I would say Indy does a wonderful job of venting toward guest. he doesn't yell at them and tell them they are too stupid to walk down main street, even though he would be very honset in doing so. The 50 + stories told on this board are just a small % of actual encounters CM's have. so to say that Indy "seems to make it a point to ridicule and mock the guests at every turn." is a false statment.

As far as your being a share holder. Good for you. I am glad you own stock. So do I. Many shares. But guess what. Your 1, 50, 100, or even 1,000 shares, mean NOHTING in the grand scheme of things.

And your comment "I'm quite sure his bosses would not think highly of his statements, either." I am willing to bet that alot of the CM's here are supervisors of many of the other members here and they laugh just as much.

You people just don't get it. You are either too ignorant or too arrogant to understand what I am saying. I will no longer waste my time arguing the point.

Enjoy your miserable jobs and I hope someday you are on the receiving end of IndyandMarion's behavior.If they didn't have to deal with people like you, I am sure they would enjoy their jobs alot more.

Have a Magical day.

Ok so my plan to move the topic failed. I just dont have the time nor the energy to do it.

But here's an interesting on that I found out while my girlfriend and I were vacationing at, well, Disney World.

Apparently a 49 year old man was taken to the hospital after recieving a head injury in the MK parking lot the other day. . .

What happened? He jumped off the parking tram after his stroller fell off.

I think "if you loose something from the tram, please wait until the next stop and notify the operator" might mean something. . .

Ya know I was just talking to someone this morning about that. You know the first thing that they thought would be the reason? Stroller! This was speculation at 10:30am, before any information more than "Man fell off tram" was released. They are so predictable.

On a more somber note, I hope he's OK and doesn;t want to sue. On the other hand, he'll think next time before jumping from a moving vehicle.

Because you realize that this would require the capacity to LEARN, a capacity this person quite obviously lacks.Smart people learn by others mistakes. Some only learn from their painful mistakes. The head injury may have been caused by his wife smacking it and repeating, "Don't jump off moving vehicles, don't jump off moving vehicles." A good mantra to remember.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster with a SGT from my recent trip to WDW. I was coming back from MK one night and had to listen to some guy have a rather loud conversation on his cell phone the entire bus ride back to the hotel. As we pulled up to the bus stop, he says, "Hey, wait a minute! Where the hell are we? Oh, it's the Grand Floridian."

Right. Because that's why the sign spells out Boardwalk across the front of the hotel in big glowing letters.

For too long Ansem and myself have dealt with the every day stupidity of guests.

Too long have we dealt with the crap of onstage and backstage politics.

We've done our best to stay as neutral as possible.

I don't know about the rest of you but I think it's time for a change. Time for people to stand up for what SHOULD be going on. What SHOULD happen.

Like Dog the Bounty Hunter, we'll hunt down anyone who decides to take the wrong path.

I don't know how I missed this thread but it reminded me of the best Mugsey I ever had at the GMR...as I've mentioned before being Mugsey was my 'dream' job when I used to imagine transferring to the studios so I always can't resist taking the chance to play with any Mugsey I get on the ride (they usually sit me in the front car because of my wheelchair)

So we're there and we had this incredible Mugsey- we had a kid next to us asking all kinds of questions and Mugsey was going crazy on him and the kid was just blinking and staring at him and when we got to John Wayne Mugsey is saying "What is this, this place is nuts!"

and so seeing an opportunity, I look up at him (he was standing right in front of me) and say in my best 'Joisey' accent. "Kinda like Detroit." (since I'm from Michigan)

and he glares at me and says, "This ain't nothin' like Detroit! I do good business down in Detroit!"

me, still in 'character' "What, down by the docks?"

He glares at me again, eyes burning and prop gun pointed right at me and shouts at the top of his lungs...

"SHUT UP LADY!"

We laughed for the rest of the ride and very often even a couple years later, in our house when someone hears the word Detroit on the news, someone else will say "What, down by the docks?" and everybody else will pretend to shout at me "SHUT UP LADY!"

Ah, good times...

Hope y'all don't mind a non Disney HYS.

My coaster has two seats for guests of "diverse body proportions." These seats have two seatbelts instead of one but otherwise there really is no difference in the harness. It was obvious to me before I worked there why there were two seatbelts. It is not obvious to the guests. This scene plays out multiple times a day:

Guest: "Why does she have two seatbelts and I only have one?"
Me: "Because we like her more"

In their defense it may not be obvious, and I do say it as a joke and so far nobody has taken me seriously.

I had another one today. Kid was so short the mom had to lift him into the seat! So I told them to follow me to the height check station.

Guest: "HE's too short to ride?"
(What I wanted to say): "No, I'm doing this for kicks. Ignore hte fact that the kid can't even get into the seat on his own, or the fact that the bar is at least 6 inches above his head." Instead I explained his head had to touch the bar.

this isnt a disney one but i have few good ones, I worked a Busch gardens in Tampa FL and was loading at the scorpion roller coaster (which has a loop that is clearly visable thru all parts in the entrance)

G: does this go upside down?
Me: no
G: but isnt that a loop?
Me: yes
G: but it dosent go upside down?
Me: no, gave the pannel operator the thumbs up to let the coaster dispatch

and most other times that is asked i just point to the loop and the guest just replys ''oh''

I was sweeping a path down Nirobi where they have elephants for the guest to see(if they can find them, all you have to do is turn your head to the right) I walked past the elephants a couple comes up from behind me and ask where are the elephants, I turned around and pointed at the elephants.

And thank god BG dosent have the free beers ''one per person'' anymore so theres no more cheap/stupid drunks, and countless time i have been asked where are the free beers, when the guest have to walk past the hospitality house where they are given out, and countless time the guest dont have maps, so I would just point them in the other direction so they had to walk all the way around the park.

but ill put up more as i think of some and i hope those fit in this section! haha

(What I wanted to say): "No, I'm doing this for kicks. Ignore hte fact that the kid can't even get into the seat on his own, or the fact that the bar is at least 6 inches above his head." Instead I explained his head had to touch the bar.

I love the first one. But the second...:eek:

My HYS for today is very similar to this but does not involve Disney at all.

Me and my partner are at Publix (grocery store). Neither one of us is in costume, but dressed in shorts and polos. He goes one way and I am looking down another ailse. I have a bad habot pf straightening thing without thinking due to disney store brainwashing.

A lady comes up to me and ask the ultimate question:
Her: Do you work here?
Me: No.
Her: (obviously not listening) Do you all cary XXXX?
Me: I dont know I dont work here.
Her: (Still oblivious) WHat about XXXXX?
Me: I STILL have no idea I don't work here I AM SHOPPING! Ask someone who works here!
Her: Well why did you tell me you worked here?
Me: (Now Livid) I didn't..If you would turn off your mouth and turn on your ears you would have heard me two minutes ago!
Her: How rude! (start going down the ailse, my other half coming up the aisle)
Him: Jim where is the can veggie aisle?
Me: Two more over!
Her: (Storming back to me) I AM REPORTING YOU TO YOUR MANAGER, YOU SAID YOU DIDNT WORK HERE AND YOU HELPED HIM! WHAT IS YOUR NAME< AND YOUR MANAGERS NAME!!!
Me: My name is Jim, my manager doesnt work here he works at my job, where I work, which isnt in this grocery store...I DONT WORK HERE!
Her: Well you won't work here when Im done talking to your manager!
Me: (Resisting the urge to whip items at her from the shelves) Thank you I hated working here anyway! HYS

Because I'm so bored right now, and I feel like my ol' miserable self. . .
If I'm ever at Fantasmic, I hope I never see you.
It's a mutual feeling

You seem to be an extremely miserable human being and you should be ashamed of yourself for the attitude you display.
I can be. But it's fits the role I play these days. Ashamed? Why? A lot of people love my attitude, I tell it like it is, and Lewis Black was my mentor. So from my miserable shameful attitude to you. . . Take some nyquil and switch off you little prick.

If you are so unable to deal with people in perhaps one of the most customer service oriented positions in the world, you should quit and find something more to your liking.
Im unable to deal with people like you. I tried to quit, but they wouldn't let me. In the role Im in, Im paid to not care about people and play the bad guy and I can insult people. So, in reality, I'm paid by Disney. . . To be myself.

BTW, I know you're not here anymore, all though we do miss your little screwed up shareholder hear, just remember, when you go to the parks, part of that money goes into my check. So each time you come back, you're paying to keep my miserable attitude in the parks.

Thanks for the check!

Had a "Here's your Sign" moment today. Took Ma to the doctor and I grabbed a wheelchair from the lobby area to take her from the examination room back to the car. The door is locked and can only be opened from the inside. After waiting a few moments with said chair for someone to call the next patient in,the nurse asks me,"Are you waiting to come in?" I told her,"No,I'm just blocking the door." The guy sitting next to the door just smiled.

This update isn't so much a Here's Your Sign as it is just a general "Did I seriously just see that ****ing happen?" update.

8:50, arrived at Disney's MGM Studios (Screw you, I go into a rampage when I say Disney's Hollywood Studios). Saw a little bit of Rope Drop, which I dislike but that's just me. The truck they use sits in the middle of the Hollywood Blvd/Sunset intersection. So not only do you have people rushing to their first ride, but you've got that rock in the stream. MOVE THAT TRUCK!

Introduction to first happy CM (of four I'd encounter all day):
*Notices my shirt*
CM: Max's Kansas City? I'm from Kansas City, I've never heard of it.
Me: Considering you weren't even a thought in your mothers mind when it was open, I'd assume not. By the way, if you actually read the shirt. . . You'd notice *Points to address* that it was in NY...
CM: Oh....

Rock n Roller Coaster:
Christ, what else can they change in the four years I've been gone from there. Holy crap. Encounter with pissed off bug up their ass CM number seven. Still a fun ride, rode twice. Did see some old friends who still work there (And hate it for what it is now).

Since when is Goofy Sulley?

Nope, that sign actually means that the next showing for Mermaid is in 10 hours and 30 minutes.

I love that Japanese (Male and female) will line up for ANYTHING. Including hopefully being picked as a young jedi...

Now for the saddest moment of the day.... Ready?
The 11:30 showing for Indiana Jones starts up. Kevin is playing the part of Indy (One of the best Indy's I've ever seen)...Then they switch him out. A new guy is training (I find out later from a friend he is three weeks into training..) for the rest of the show. OK I get that, it's how the stunt company works for their training.

Cairo Marketplace scene starts. Going through the motions of the show, his hat tilts. No problem, he's not using the strap. Then.... the unthinkable happens. He looses the hat..........

The ****er lost.... the hat? YOU DON'T LOSE THE HAT!!!!!!!!! IF THE HARDEST PART IS KEEPING THE HAT ON, WHAT IS THE HARDEST THING AFTER THAT SINCE YOU FAILED YOU ASK? SIMPLE. . . . HOLDING ME BACK SO I DON'T KILL HIM!!!! IF THERE IS ONE THING THAT IS MORE CONCRETE THAN LIFE IS THAT YOU NEVER LOOSE THE HAT! EVER!

AT EPCOT CENTER:

After charging my phone a little in the car and seeing the TRONORAIL, I calmly got out of the car and walked in to the park. Seriously people, it was a nice day, why take the tram. God forbid all that walking is more than you can handle since you'll be... you know... WALKING the rest of the day in the park.

The tronorail looks sleek. I liked it. I thought there were two. I then noticed that it's just the one with the Yellow cycle on one side and the Blue on the other. So hopefully Honda will be able to live, but I doubt it. Anyway... After feeling like Elmer Fudd and waiting for that wasckelly tronowail to show itself another time, I got enough photos and moved on.

Getting lunch at the Electric Umbrella....

I set up outside, it was slightly breezy but sunny for the most part and pulled a "Walt Watch", I just ate lunch and people watched:

Pole. . . Pole. . . POLE! Oooooh, first aid: That way. Saw a total of three kids and two adults walk right into one of the poles out in the walkway.

"Shoo" Means nothing to these birds lady.

If you're going to say "No you may not" to your kid, you best be prepared for whats to come sir. And it ain't pretty.

That sums up the day. MK was uneventful. I had a headache (Lack of sleep I suppose), I took the train to Toontown to see a friend then headed out. So I can't say much of anything from there. I will close with this encounter with the infamous Rent A Cops as I left work the other day....

The other day, I guess someone got a hold of something someone wasn't supposed to have access to and. So Security was uptight and on a failed mission to find them. My backpack has one main compartment, two smaller ones in front (That weren't checked), of course the top flap to cover the main compartment and a side zipper to the main compartment. Mind you, no one has ever taken these "security guards" at the Studios seriously.

RaC: I need to check your bag.
Me: Are we going to actually check the bag?
RaC: I need to see the bottom of the bag.
Me: *Opens the side zipper to the main compartment as I all ways do, it gives a clear visual of both the top, middle and bottom of the bag.*
RaC: No, the bottom of the bag.
Me: You can see the bottom of the bag and the rest of it through here.
RaC: I said the bottom of the bag.
Me: *Sigh* fine. *I open the top flap*
RaC: Take out the holster
Me: Oh for the love (So I pull out my gun holster and everythign attached to it, the rest of my gear is at the bottom of the bag).
Rac: Show me the bottom of the bag.
Me: THAT IS the bottom of the bag, Do I look like Marry God Damn Poppins?

As I have no insider knowledge, I assume some sort of precautions are used to make it very difficult for one to have said hat become separated from one's head? It is probably near impossible to improvise rescuing the famous fedora if it does come off, I suppose....

Pole. . . Pole. . . POLE! Oooooh, first aid: That way. Saw a total of three kids and two adults walk right into one of the poles out in the walkway.

Well, I can see getting lost in the magic, as it were. When one is hopped up on the excitement of being at WDW, poles can tend to jump out in front of you, so I've heard...

Yes, that mother needs to be sent back to Disney Character Identification school.

Of course, around here, I believe that it is the SGs' heads that should be used...

Let's not scare Grumpy back into hibernation again! We knew what he meant, and spelling and punctuation errors are excused at SGT! We love you, Grumpy!

Considering I didn't write it on the sign, I assume the person that did write it really wasn't into grammer and puncuation. The point was made with the sign!
(technically It referred to me since I was a "boss")

well, lets just say that being in a government job for over thirty years, that sign actually is used greatly by all, especially after tele-confrencing with washington!!!

When I was a kid, I was reading one of the humor columns in Reader's Digest, and one company had installed a punching bag in their copier room, which was dominated by a very cranky copying machine--frustrating to use. Anyway, a sign asked employees who needed to take their frustrations out to use the bag, and sure enough, it went blappity-blappity-blap all day long.:D:

So when I'm working outside of my attraction (Arrgh) of course people are constantly asking for the Jungle Cruise when I can see the sign about 30 ft. away. Some people sometimes go "Ahh! There it is! Oops!" and are able to laugh at themselves...

**Real Situation from today**
"Excuse me. Can you tell me where the Indiana Jones ride is?"
"Of course! Unfortunately, you're going to have to book a flight to Anaheim to get there though."

**The follow up**
"Oh! So you don't have the ride here?"
"No ma'am we don't. However we do have the Indiana Jones Stunt Show at Hollywood Studios."
(As the guest thanked me and began to walk away...) "I guess you figured out we were from California."

I had a fun dream the other night. There was a SGT Parade for us. We wore special shirts and we were able to boss the daylights out of the SG in the park. The shirts had the same logo but the bettering was in a neon yellow.

Now for today, I over heard a few SG saying that they could smell the Mc Donald's french fries and also could buy beer in Frontierland. Nice try.

SG: How do I get to TSI?
CM: Go around the river and catch the raft.
SG: Is there a bridge that can get me over to the island faster?
CM: No.
SG: That's too far.
Stupid guest goes to frozen lemonade cart and asks the same question.

My friends work over at the Columbia boat. He told me this story this morning.

SG: Does the turkey cart sell tacos?
CM: No, they only sell chimichungas, turkey legs, corn, chips and drinks.
SG: Is there a Taco Bell in Frontierland?
CM: There is no Taco Bell, but there is a mexican restaurant near the cart and you can find food there. :rolleyes:

When I worked at Indy and people asked for the ride, I gave them a choice of 3,000 miles East or West, as there is one at DLP as well as DLR.

Scenario with SG at Pirates today:

SG: "Where does the ride exit at?"
Me: "Next door in the gift shop."
SG: "Yes but where is that?"
Me: (Slower this time) "Next door in the gift shop."

I over heard this one today in Frontierland.

SG Mom: We are to meet here in front of the castle. (Golden Horseshoe)
SG Dad: I thought the castle was on the hub towards the Partner's statue?
SG Mom: No, the castle is in frontierland and so is the hub.
SG Dad: Lets ask the CM about where the castle is?
SG Mom: No, I am right and you are wrong.

Me: I had no idea the Golden Horseshoe looks like the castle. If we had n earthquake, the hub probably would be in Frintierland. :mad:

Overheard on Saturday as I was walking in DCA on the walkway overlooking Paradise Park,site of the new "World of Color" show. If you don't know that, there are dozens of signs telling you so.

SG: "That must be where they are installing "Fantasmic"

Last night I was watching the news. One of their stories was about this group of robbers that went into a liquor store. They went for the ATM machine. One of the robbers gets his shoe caught in the ATM cord. The machine smashed the robber as he fell backward to the ground. Who else saw this on the local news? The media on channel 11 called them stupid robbers. :)

Over heard by SG sitting next to Rivers of America.

SG: Fantasmic starts at 9 pm. It is 6:30 pm. We should have no problems seeing it. The family spreads out a blanket and sits down.

That's funny, Fantasmic does not start until May 28th. That would be a very long wait.

I also love it when there was no water in the river and SG wanted to go to the TSI.

The last thing I heard a SG claim that TSI was removed and rebuilt around Pirates of the Caribbean. Dang! I had no idea New Orleans was that big! :eek:

I need to go back to TSI- Have they changed anything since the Pirate Invasion besides no more Captain Jack and no more Lafitte's Tavern?:confused:

Now that TSI is open, it does not have the singing pirates on the front area. The pirates sing in front of French market. The pirates lier is located in the middle of TSI.

I am still trying to look for that bridge that SG are saying that they can get to the island. Try walking around the river, catching a raft and walking onto the island.

Today my sister and I are planning to go to the parks. I will take my camera and see what has changed since the island was down for 5 months.

Stumbled on this site today, and it has been extremely entertaining. I love the fact that this thread exists. Now's let's see...I've got some fun from the Idol neck of the woods.

SG: Excuse me, miss. How do I get to the HSM show?
Me: Well, it's a moving stage, but they'll park in fro---
SG: No! They told my daughter that the show is in the hat, how do I get in to the show?
Me: Actually, it's an outdoor show, it starts in...
SG: Whatever. I know the show's in the hat, I'll just find someone who knows something to get me in.

SG: How do I get to the Alfred Hitchcock show?
Me: That attraction no longer exists, and it was actually at Universal Studios.
SG: Why did you get rid of it?
Me: Universal did. It was their attraction. We're Disney's Hollywood Studios, not Universal Studios.
SG: Right, but you changed the park name. You used to be.
Me: No, we used to be MGM Studios.
SG: Huh. So, where's the Terminator ride?
Me: Leave the park, take I-4 to Kirkman Rd (proceeds to give directions to Universal).

And don't get me started on the guests who think that Simon will really be there...
