Am I a SG??

[sean1966]

I've been reading about the character attacks on here and it got me thinking. I was at US several years ago and was getting my picture taken with the X-Men. One of the girls was rubbing something up against my back as she was getting into pose. It was probably part of her costume. I turned to her and jokingly said "I hope that's your costume you're poking me with." Was that uncool? I never thought it was a problem till today. Am I a SG???

[Big Wallaby]

Bah, don't worry about it. I might have responded the same way, as I am not a real personal contact person. If you start rubbing my back, I get nervous. Not sure why I so like my personal space.

[DisneyMom]

Naaaaah, we all probably get a little funny when we are posing with the characters!
This past weekend I told Pluto that I would have my husband behave so Pluto wouldn't chase him.....Pluto acted as if he would NEVER do such a thing,so I felt a little bad even suggesting it!:o:

[Theme Park Where]

At the MNSSHP we had dinner at the Liberty Tree Character meal. All of the characters were dressed in Halloween costumes. Chip was dressed as a sort of Spiderman character. Everytime he came to the table, I sang "Spider Chip, Spider Chip, does whatever a Spider Chip does!" The performer probably went home singing that under his breath and cursing me! :D: All of the characters had masks on. When Goofy came to the table I called him Pluto. He looked at me like "What a SG!"

"Oh," I said, "you're Goofy! I didn't recognize you with the mask on!"

We had so much fun with the characters all night. I kept calling them all by the wrong names (until they'd lift the corner of their mask to show me who they REALLY were) and they kept coming back to the table frequently. I think they were enjoying the humor, and they really appreciated the fact that my four-year-old nephew thought it was funny too. He giggled every time I called Goofy Pluto and Pluto Goofy.

[ktulu]

I always like calling Chip, Dale or vice-versa. When I pointed out to my daughter (she was calling Chip, Dale, on her own hehe) how to tell them apart (loudly for the table full of SG's next to us who did the same, now I know where my daughter got it...) Chip was very happy. Dale had the most fun with us that trip though.

sean 1966: If you were rubbing something on her back that would make you an SG.

Theme Park Where: Spider Chip was probably easily removed from the head. Unlike another song I'll not name.

[Theme Park Where]

Then why can't I get rid of it after writing that post? :confused:


Spider Chip, Spider Chip! Does whatever a Spider Chip does!

[Big Wallaby]

Theme Park Where: Spider Chip was probably easily removed from the head. Unlike another song I'll not name.Uh, does it have anything to do with the size of the world and how it really is small, after all?

[CMGUY89]

Most likely if you have to ask you aren't. If you think you might be a stupid guest you have already eliminated half of the equation. ;)

[Near Philly]

When THAT SONG is in YOUR head, blame the marsupial not me.

[Cranbiz]

It's a small world after all.





Actually I was thinking Spider Pig, Spider Pig, does whatever a Spider Pig does.

Yes, I just got the Simpson's Movie.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

You have to admit, it DOES stick with you!!!

(Darn you Netflix!!!)

The only what to get rid of it is:

It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all .......

[sean1966]

Thanks everybody, and if anybody knows the female X-Men (X-Women) with grey hair tell her I'm sorry.

[Planner]

ARGH!!! :beg: please make it STOP

Hey there is always:

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of ev'ryday
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream away

[BRWombat]

When THAT SONG is in YOUR head, blame the marsupial not me.And be careful which marsupial you blame. :D:

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

And be careful which marsupial you blame. :D:

Wellll for those of us that remember:

There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying,
and he gets himself up on one elbow,
and he turns to his mates,
who are gathered 'round him and he says:


Watch me wallabys feed mate.
Watch me wallabys feed.
They're a dangerous breed mate.
So watch me wallabys feed.
Altogether now!


Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.
Tie me kangaroo down sport,
tie me kangaroo down.

[Theme Park Where]

Great, now I've got Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport going through my head! This is getting to be one long day!!! :p:

[Syndrome]

Anyone see the Reno 911 movie? The freakin' theme song hasn't left my head for the past week:

It's actually done by someone from the Foo Fighters who wanted to do it uncredited.

Okay! I have a question about Small World!

It seems to me that when I was little, the ride had different sections where the dolls sang in their native language.

Now, after the most recent refurb when we finally rode the ride on our last trip, all I heard was a lot of "la la la, la la la's!" in between the choruses

Did they really dumb-down Small World or was it my imagination that they used to sing in say, French, Spanish, etc???? cause I could have sworn. . .

And now a story.

Only once have I ever had to be the one who asked a character to back off.

My husband is very shy, and very cute. He has no idea how cute he really is. Women adore him everywhere we go, and are always hitting on him. of course he is oblivious to this until I start tapping my crutch on the ground and staring at whoever it is, a gentle sign that they should observe the fact we are both wearing rings and I'm standing RIGHT THERE.

We once had one of the more famous costumed characters who had obviously taken a shine to him. She kept returning to our table out of turn, rubbing his hair, leaning up against him as he sat there and making 'kiss' noises beneath her costume head.

When she started rubbing her hands up and down his arms, back and shoulders, finally I leaned over and whispered that her 'significant other' character might get jealous - and that if she came back to the table and put her hands on my husband one more time I might too.

She curtsied to me, blew me a kiss and disappeared.

I was sure then that I wasn't imagning things. My husband by that point was beet red- and he asked what I'd said to her and I whispered it to him. He told me he had been uncomfortable with it himself but was unsure if he should quietly ask her to move along.

Ummmm how do you KNOW it was a GIRL in the costume??

(not that there is anything wrong with that)

[February]

Well if it was a guy he had the skinniest arms and legs I've ever seen in my life LOL.

I don't care who is hitting on him, male or female my response is the same LOL. He's Mine! Mine! Mine!

Well, at Disneyland they still sing in multiple languages. One of our CMs who has been there forever insists that it used to be more, but they do still sing in multiple languages, or at least they would if it was open.

[Ms. Matterhorn]

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of ev'ryday
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream away

Man has a dream, and that's the start
He follows his dream with mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true for you and me

REPEAT CHORUS

Wanna hear it?

Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads.
Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho!
Aye! But we're loved by our mommies and dads!

Ah-ha! So I'm not crazy (well not entirely!)

I'm going to make special note of it when we go in April to see- but we both just sat there going "la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, It's a small world after all!!!" after we got out of the boat last time and saying we couldn't believe that they'd dumbed down small word.

Now, if you're talking Carousel, I will always prefer...

"Now is the time,
Now is the best time,
Now is the best time of your life. . .
Life is a prize, live every minute,
Open your eyes and watch how you win it
Yesterday's memories may sparkle and gleam
tomorrow is still but a dream
right here and now
you've got it made
the world's forward marching and you're in the parade!
Now is the time, now is the best time
be it a time of joy or strife,
there's so much to cheer for, be glad you're here,
for it's the best time of your life!!!"

(and those were the best times, those childhood trips. . . New ones are even better though :)

That kinda reminds me of when I was a crazed competitive Hobie sailor. Just about every skipper was always on the lookout for crew. I'd go to parties with other skippers and we'd evaluate the women by their crew potential. It was usually based on weight (The rules we sailed under stated a minimum skipper/crew weight), and if they might have talon toes for hiking out.

I met my wife at a Hobie Christmas party. She had never sailed before. She came with a friend who told her, "There's only two things these guys are interested in; what's your name, how much do you weigh."

I got introduced to her, chatted her up about needing a crew for the kick-off regatta in Mexico and, when she showed some interest, asked her how much she weighed (we're sooooo predictable). She told me and I asked her if she could gain ten pounds in a month and a half.

As it turned out she was more interested in hanging out with the other wives on the beach drinking wine. I had to raise some crew to race.

Oh well.

In one design racing one of the things to keep a level playing field is to define a minimum weight. Hobie 16s call for a minimum combined skipper/crew weight of 285 lbs. My current boat, a Hobie 20, is 320. The 16 is very critical if you're not right at minimum weight. The 20 actually works better with more than the minimum.

When my oldest kid crewed for me I had to carry 30 lbs. of extra weight to be legal.

I've got 30 lbs of extra weight you can have, Hobie. I'll slice it off and send it to ya! It'll do us both a favor. :D:

It was pretty funny the first time we raced together. I hadn't raced in a regular regatta for years. The guys I was up against had no idea who I was and I had no idea who they were or how good they were.

I told my daughter we were going to kick ass to pump her up but I expected to get a decent mid pack showing. At the end of the first day we had destroyed the fleet with one third and three firsts. They were pissed! :D:

A couple of my competitors came up the following morning and gave me a bad time about not being legal because we were light. I told them about the thirty pounds and they walked off mumbling. Turned out they thought I was some old guy with his kid who no one had to worry about. They should have talked to the other old guys that I raced against in the past. Dopes.

We got a third and first on the second day and took home the gold.

[Big Wallaby]

Oh, I miss sailing. Gotta get back into it. Good ballast, right here!

[February]

You post here, don't you? :D:

Yes, yes I do and it might scare you (or please you, dunno) that I think I've finally found my tribe :D:

[EeyoresButterfly]

Back to the original topic, that behavior is definitely not allowed, as anyone who has been through the character training could tell you. A certain female I portray is known to be flirty- but in a shy, hands off kind of way. It sounds like the incident with the OP happened at Universal (I think that's where the X-Men are) so I'm not what sure there rules are when it comes to guest contact, but my guess is that rubbing somebody's back is not considered appropriate.

(Of course, sometimes if they know you, the rules go out the window. One of my favorite pictures I have is with Buzz, who insisted on tickling me. Totally not kosher, but it was a great memory nonetheless).

[hobie16]

Rail meat huh?

[Anna]

Yes, the OP said it happened at U.S.

so I'm not what sure there rules are when it comes to guest contact, but my guess is that rubbing somebody's back is not considered appropriate.

Rubbing someone's back is not appropriate at Universal Studios either. I think the OP said the character was getting into a pose and part of her costume accidentally rubbed against his back, thus the joke he made.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Yes, the OP said it happened at U.S.

Yeah....but WHICH part of the costume was "rubbing???"

[Randy B]

Yes, yes I do and it might scare you (or please you, dunno) that I think I've finally found my tribe :D:

And around here the torches are made like those relighting birthday candles. So "Jeff" can't snuff your torch. No matter how many times he says "the tribe has spoken" the torch will keep relighting. :D:

Didn't Peter Pan and company get to join the tribe??

Ooh! Ooh! In this case can we do the reverse and vote the ISLAND off the island?

I vote to cast off Pleasure Island!!!

That way I won't have to avoid DTD after dark anymore for fear of my kid having to deal with and see all the intoxicated SG's.
