I'm surprised Disney hasn't PCed Irving's storys yet.
a fly off the handle, living for the moment frog, steals a car he don't know how to operate, races threw town scaring people, then kills himself when it gets out of control.
hmm, can't beat a good disney story I guess.

Yeah, seems to be more of a cautionary tale kind of thing. Don't operate something you don't know how to operate, don't try to beat a train at a crossing, and you'll live longer.

OOO, love the phrase "cautionary tale". You just don't hear folks using that one enough.

If you think about it, most of the SG stories here are "cautionary tales" in the classical sense.

Pity those who lack sense aren't reading them. :rolleyes:

I never followed the story of Mr. Toad's. I just like driving out of control and going through the fire place. :D:

All I know it is in Fantasyland and has the longest line for a short ride.

Which is why I think we should resurrect the idea of the book. :D:


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Seconded! I would take copies ready for distribution every time I hit WDW. "Here you are, sir, page 63 might interest you." "Gift for you, ma'am, you may recognize yourself on page 72." :twisted:

I'm still willing to edit -- I have kept the material from the last effort. My availability has gone down, due to a third job, but I was never the limiting factor before. Let me know.
