an sg + a stroller =

[Elena (aka: Bubble Lady)]

i know there are a zillion stroller stories out there...some good, some funny, some horrific...i'd list this under horrific

ok, so here goes:

we were in the smoking section near the train station and here comes an sg pushing a stroller not watching where she's going and the next thing i see is a guy picking himself up off the ground (he went down face forward)...only i notice that he's got a prosthetic leg...d'oh! the stupid b***h starts giggling and says in general, "i didn't see him" and then turns to the guy, "i didn't see you"...not "i'm sorry, i didn't see you" just "i didn't see you"...then i notice the guy has 2 prosthetic legs! and as he's grabbing a railing to help get himself up and steady i notice he has a prosthetic arm as well...and all this time the sg is giggling...i'm hoping she's doing it out of embarrassment...i couldn't believe my eyes...he's beginning to walk away now and she's still wrangling the stroller (sort of) and still giggling...i wanted to go over and shake her...or punch her...or something to make her stop giggling...i don't know if she even saw he had several prosthetics...she just kept saying she didn't see him...i think she was hoping someone would believe her...but after seeing her knock the guy down who cares whether she saw him or not? she never offered him any kind of assistance or told him she was sorry (maybe she did and i just don't remember...i was so stunned)...the guy did get up and walk away with the lady he was with...he said nothing to the sg who knocked him down (nothing we could hear if he said anything at all)...and there the sg stood...giggling

Some people just do not qualify as human beings. That SG is one.

I hate it when people laugh when someone falls down or gets injured. I find that if a person has this trait, it is very hard for me to be friends with them.

It's usually indicative of a personality type- and I have found over the years that people who find amusement in the injury of others are not the type you want to hang around with. Took me years to learn it.

I just wish I'd have been there- I'd have climbed out of my wheelchair and asked the man if he needed any help. I'd say the whole thing was unbelievable but I've seen this behavior in WDW and I myself almost got knocked over by a kid in Hellies in Target yesterday. She was probably aiming for me :/ The crutch seems to make me a bullseye for idiots.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

I'm sorry, but if I witnessed that, I would be thrown out of the park. because I would have taken the kid out of the stroller, and used the stroller to knock her down, while saying that I don't see that the problems is!!!

[Syndrome]

OMG, that is so wrong on so many levels! Would it have been insensitive to ask to borrow one of his prostetics and beat the living snot out of the SG with it?

[Sarah Magdalene]

I tend to think that cause she had a kid, she did not have to say sorry for anything. After all in an SG mind, it's Disney - Disney is for families, families with small children. Families with small children (in strollers) should ALWAYS have the right of way in any situation, even if it means mowing people down (mainly those without kids) with no sympathy.

After all, saying sorry would be admitting that she did something wrong, but they are at Disney with a little kid - that would simply be too much to ask for!

I betcha she was an AP as well.

i love that logic.

....and since my name ends in "a" and america ends in "a" i should get $100 every day.

i should write a letter.

i swear, miss manners should stand at the security tents and ask ettiquette trivia questions for entry.

"what is the correct placement of an oyster fork?"

Randy, Martha Stewart has just deployed her very own set of minions to take you down. Hide.

Excellent choice. :D

I would have said the ear. :twisted:

[Randy B]

I would have said the ear. :twisted:

Naw, wouldn't do any damage there. A Deliberate SG (as opposed to the occasional "senior moment") has their "brains" (and I use that term very broadly as they are not brains as I recognize them) protected under thick fat padding in the posterior region. So a fork in the ear will only increase the whistle of air flowing through. But a kick in the a$$ has some chance of causing shock waves through the fat to the scene of all SG thinking processes.

I'd look at it as applying a mental floss probe.

But, an increase in the whistling of air flowing through the head might give you advance warning, allowing you time to brainstorm better ways of dealing with said SG.

Come to think of it, if said SG had large, floppy ears and a slight restriction, the wind whistling through might make a "bronks cheer" noise instead of a whistle. Maybe thats what I have heard in the HM stretching room or in various lines from time to time. An SG cheer.

I remember that one from one of those blooper shows. Its even funnier when you know what the question was. :D::twisted::eek:

One of the dangers of piercing a SG's head with any sharp object is that the vacuum inside the head would cause the SG's head to explode, possibly injuring the CM with said sharp object.:eek:

Naw. A vacuum would cause the head to implode and suck the CM into the vast empty void. Maybe we have inadvertanly discovered the cause of SGs. Their heads contain a small black hole that sucks every thought into another dimension! :eek:

Eehhhh, what do you expect??? :D It's the SG's fault.

No, SG's leave their brains in the large yellow buckets at MCO and the entrance arches to the world. You may have seen them before. They have large signs on them that say, Please deposit brain here!

Bob's question to the contestants was "Where was the strangest place you ever made whoopie?"

Women tend to think of the romantic places as an answer to that question - Outdoors on a bed of rose petals, for example.

Men tend to consider the mechanics/performance of the act - where to stick it.

I liked the Harry Anderson response, captured in the Showtime special "Hello Sucker", to the guest heckling his needle through arm geek routine "Can't you stick it somewhere else?"
"Don't ask a question you don't really want to hear the answer to." deadpanned Harry.

On the right-hand side of the bowl in a spoon. I just had to beat Zazu to this one.

No contest. I just plant them in the chairs. Somebody else provides the weapons.

I don't like oysters anyway -- it's like they're not done yet!

[Big Wallaby]

it's like they're not done yet!Remind me not to take you to sushi. There's a really good place in Hunter's Creek. And one in Sarasota.

[Zazu]

Actually, I *love* sushi! It's proof that something can be raw and well done at the same time!

Where's the place in Hunter's Creek? I can probably walk there from here!

There's also a very good sushi place where I work....

[Big Wallaby]

It's called Suki Hanna, in Town Center, about three doors down from Publix and next to the Hallmark store. They have a couple ways you can do it... they have the regular menu, and then there's the all you can eat for $21.95. The sushi is as good there as I have had at other places for twice the price.

[hobie16]

Can you get poke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poke_%28Hawaii%29) there?

I've walked past it... and kept on going. Looks like I now have a good reason to stop. Thanks!

[Big Wallaby]

Can you get poke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poke_%28Hawaii%29) there?I haven't seen it. But I bet the sushi chef would love to make it.

I've walked past it... and kept on going. Looks like I now have a good reason to stop. Thanks!I've always found my favorite sushi places are little holes in the wall that you would never think to stop. It actually has a nice atmosphere when you get inside.

My wife and I love their 21.95 thing because it's how I got her to like sushi. If she tries something and doesn't like it, I finish it. But they do make you clean your plate. Any rolls/nigiri that you leave behind cost you extra.

One time I ordered more than I thought I did. I was in pain for hours after that run. But, interestingly enough, when I stepped on the scale a few hours later, I weighed less than I had when I walked in there. I think it was all the tuna.

Hey, Zazu. Did you know we have two :puke2: smileys? The other is :ewww: Both under Smiley Smiles.

[Zazu]

Hey, Zazu. Did you know we have two :puke2: smileys? The other is :ewww: Both under Smiley Smiles.

Yes, I do. Sorry. I'd delete one, but that would remove half the double-puke smileys from the archive, and I'd rather leave a second one on the list than take all those down. It's not like we can go back and edit them all.

Unless you're volunteering....

[Big Wallaby]

Unless you're volunteering....Uh... No.
