So, You Got Pooped On, And No, You Don't Get Anything For Free!!

[DLRFantasmic!Dan]

I saw this on Board X:

Hey guys, I was wondering can I get anything from Disneyland if the duck poop on me.

Why? because it did happen to me once this past spring break when I was waiting to watch RDCT fireworks. I was standing there with my brother waiting for the fireworks to start in the middle front of the castle. It happened while me and my brother were turning our face left to watch the finale of Fantasmic.

Then when the Fantasmic Finale was over. I heard people screaming and someone said "Watch Out!" I thought someone threw a cup full of water into the crowd, but it was a duck that flew overhead and laid one on me and my brother. It was stink as He**. I was covered in poop.

I was supposed to go watch Fantasmic after RDCT fireworks. Instead I ran like crazy to the car. Upon arriving at the car, I took out all my clothes and was half-naked driving home to go and take a hot shower.

So do you think if I was to walk into City Hall at Disneyland, will I get anything?

Should he REALLY????? Your thoughts?

[darph nader]

A little after the fact. :rolleyes:

[Disneyguy85]

That's pretty crazy.

Sure, its an inconvenience, but Disney really has no control over the ducks. There's no way that he would get anything for free, and I'm kind of surprised that he would ask such a question.

...Yes, it IS a little after the fact, anyway!

[CujoSR]

Lies! Lies I you tell! You evar been pooped on by bird. No one seen it coming also in dark.


Alternyet joke: In Soviet Disneyland, you poop on bird... Wait that not right.

[DisneyMom]

I've gotten pooped on several times in San Diego by Sea Gulls, once at Sea World:eek::mine:

I got a free baby wipe from a lady who took pity on me:rolleyes:

[Stripes]

My son was nailed at WDW. He got an escort back to the room to change and the sympathies of the monorail pilot. ;)

What a moron! Disney has no control over the 'bathroom habits' of the birds. I don't care even if (s)he would have gone to City Hall right afterwards...they get directions to the restroom and some sympathy, nothing else! :mad:

[Lasolimu]

Australia for me, Sydney, just outside the opera house to be more precise. I was on a tour and the tour guide had wipes and gave me one.

[Mayonnaise]

Srsly? Everyone wants something for free these days. *Sigh.*

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

I remember being at sea world waiting for the shamu show, it LOOKED like the seagulls were having great fun straffing the crowd.

many park guests fell to the terrible onslaught of birdie poo that day!

oh the humanities!

(jeez, are we becoming a nation of wimps and crybabies?)

[Double T]

I'm just happy to see that most of the clowns over on Board X are expressing the same thoughts that we are. A whole "Are you SERIOUS?" sort of thing.

Dude should be grateful he wasn't looking up with his mouth open at the time.:eek::twisted:

[mickeyjohn]

If they went to citty hall would that make them a ssg? A stinkey stupid guest?

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Dude should be grateful he wasn't looking up with his mouth open at the time.:eek::twisted:

heck, I would pay extra to see that!!!

hehehehehehehe

[turkeyham]

A bird has to go, let it do it's business.

Went to Sea World on Monday in Orlando with my friends. We saw the Shammo (sp) show. Rows 1-15 are soak zones. Killer whale poop could be even worst.

For the guest complaining, a rain slicker or an umbrella for suffering?:twisted:

[drcorey]

I got bit by a spider once, and they gave me free first aid.

[Lasolimu]

Must have been a Boy Scout.

I really doubt that she was a boy scout. I just think it odd that I can recall the exact location where it happened, it was over 7 years ago and if I was to walk that area again I could point to the location.

[mickeyjohn]

Why are they complaining? They got a private meet and greet with Pooh. It wasn't Pooh Bear but it was still Pooh.

[darph nader]

Drats. My evil plan has been foiled. :mad: Of course the person got ribbed big time over there.

[Big Wallaby]

There's no way that he would get anything for free, and I'm kind of surprised that he would ask such a questionI'm not.

]Disney has no control over the 'bathroom habits' of the birds.Heck, neither do the birds.

Oh, how I wish we could place video in threads around here.

[Stripes]

Ewwwwwwww!

[Disneyguy85]

Oh man, that video was brutal.

Yeah, but at SeaWorld Shamu takes a vicious revenge on those flying poopers:

I'm a little late joining in this thread, but as an attorney I think the guy might have a basis for a claim against Disney. But only if he can prove the duck was wearing a blue sailor suit. :p:

Don't you mean HALF of a Blue Sailor suit?


(maybe Donald was the forunner of Sailor Moon??)

[SpeedFreak]

Might have got some free sanitizer and a free shirt if he had gone at the time. That would be out of courtesy, rather than them trying to make up for him getting pooped on.

[Ms. Matterhorn]

I think this has been posted before, but I love nostalgia:

Birdie, birdie, in the sky.
Why'd you do that in my eye?
I'm a big (girl/boy) I won't cry.
I'm just glad that cows don't fly.

[drcorey]

I saw a man dressed as Popeye today, a gull got him dead on.
people were calling him, Poopeye the sailorman.

[darph nader]

WHO CAN BE THE FIRST ONE TO NAME POPEYE'S THREE NEPHEWS? Hint: one name is already in this post.

Ponderable: Why do cartoon characters always have THREE nephews?

[turkeyham]

At DL the crows are the worst around dusk. There are over 60 of them. You think a duck is bad, wait until the crows are you. I have seen large flocks of them. I keep on tinking of the "Birds" movie. Caw, caw, poop, slat! :eek:

Comic relief? modeled after the three stooges?

(by the way, he has FOUR nephews)

Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye.

here's a question, what was the name of popeye's pet, and what was it?

[hobie16]

here's a question, what was the name of popeye's pet, and what was it?
Eugene, Jeep.

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Eugene, Jeep.

ABSOLUTELY!

remember what Eugene could do that other pets couldn't?

[hobie16]

Teleportation?

Oh, my bad, he DID have four nephews! GP, you are just full of random information. I guess that's why (or because) you are a professor.

[Ms. Matterhorn]

And weren't there some weird globby-looking guys from another planet?

[turkeyham]

Lately I have not seen a crow. I guess they come out when they need to go potty.:eek:

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Teleportation?

yep, among other things.

I do remember seeing him turn invisible, and I think he could walk up walls!

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

no, its because I can seem to remember this trivia, and am an old movie buff!

I loved the writeup on that video.

Best line:

Since the show had been cut short, the bewildered audience responded with clapping and cheering as each part of the Pelican was retrieved from the pool.

[Ms. Matterhorn]

^That truly is the best comment in the report!

[Ms. Matterhorn]

And weren't there some weird globby-looking guys from another planet?

Okay, since no one is going to touch this one, I googled it. The characters were called Goons, and they were not from outer space, but from Goon Island.
The website below says that the word "goon" soon became part of the American lexicon.

They clearly do not. Besides Popeye's four already mentioned, Mickey has only two nephews.

Or maybe that's part of some comic-cosmic compensation system....

[Disneyguy85]

Toucan Sam has three nephews as well!

[Ms. Matterhorn]

They clearly do not. Besides Popeye's four already mentioned, Mickey has only two nephews.

Or maybe that's part of some comic-cosmic compensation system.... Do Minnie and Daisy have nieces?

[Disneyguy85]

Do Minnie and Daisy have nieces?

Indeed they do.

[JugglingFreak]

Yep, Melinda (sometimes called Millie) and Melody are Minnie's and April, May, and June are Daisy's.

[Mayonnaise]

Cartoon characters always seem to reproduce by having nephews and nieces... Goofy and Max to one side...

[felinefan]

And Goofy was a divorced dad raising Max by himself. I think Walt didn't want anyone to think his characters were having sex. I mean, in his day, the Victorian era was over, but the repression was still in evidence. Couldn't have cartoon characters getting pregnant, you know. Besides, it would kind of weigh down the storyline.

I wonder what kind of gal Goofy married, and why she divorced him?

Well, according to Disney.
Max was the little baby in all the man at home cartoons. Max's mother is said to be Glorybe, who either passed away or took off for parts unknown,
depending who you ask at Disney.

remember, these were played on broadcast television.

the same censors that looked at the cartoons were the ones that REQUIRED married couples bedrooms to show twin beds, lest they hint at non-sleeping activity.

and the stuff when Lucy was pregnant, the would not allow that word. the closest was "in a family way" and nothing was ever mentioned about her and Ricky's activities that caused that condition!

with cable now and pretty much anything goes, its hard to believe that those standards were ever in place, but I'm sure if it had been different, we would have seen a lot of different family situations with the Mickey, Minnie, daisy, donald, etc.

[Syndrome]

I think the Flintstones was the first cartoon to tackle pregnancy (remember Wilma pregnant with Pebbles?). If I remember right, it was kept very low key. That was also the first show to tackle infertility...remember the episode about how the Rubbles got Bam Bam?

[felinefan]

I have a VHS set of Betty Boop cartoons, and the one tape is labeled "Pre-Code". In her cartoons, Betty loses her her pajama tops in "Mysterious Mose", and in "Any Rags?", her top keeps falling down. In the former her nightie flies out from under the covers, in the latter it shows a very lacy bra. Others have her backlit, showing the silhoutte of her body through her clothes. One of the later cartoons has her changing into a grass skirt and lei, putting ink on herself to resemble a Samoan, and for one frame as she's getting her lei, you see her topless. During her hula dance, the lei moves around, almost but not quite exposing her. In "The Old Man of the Mountain", Betty goes up a mountain to meet the title character, and coming down a woman is pushing a baby carriage while crying. When Betty asks her what's wrong, she sobs "The Old Man of the Mountain!", pulling back the shade of the baby carriage to show three crying babies--who look exactly like their father! Should've called it "The Dirty Old Man of the Mountain!":p:

Interestingly enough, the Fleischer Brothers, creators of Betty Boop and other characters, and who invented modern cartoons--the old style were more like flip books on film--were known as the "Anti-Disneys", because they showed life as it really was, and Walt Disney showed an idealized story. In fact, after the Fleischer Brothers became really famous, Disney Studios reps would go to the Fleischer Studios, and lure the best of the Fleischer animators away to work for Disney. Very intense competition between Fleischer and Disney back then, to say the least.

That was very interesting.
