Ever try to screw up your fellow cast members?

Post by BirdMom » Fri Mar 12, 2004 5:34 pm

I was thinking back to the "good ol' days" at Bear Band when we used to try to get someone to screw up their spiel. You know - stand in the entrance hallway after the guests are already seated in a spot where only the c.m. can see you and flash them? Or go up to the balcony where the spotlights were and flash the poor schmuck doing the opening spiel. We also used to ever so slightly pull open the curtain to the turntable next to the mic box and toss ice down the collar of the lucky one there... Well, you get the idea...anything to break up the monotony... :wink:

Hmmm, good topic. On Jungle, the best thing that could happen to you if you were spieling was if you got some good looking ladies placed right up at the front. But if you were the loader, oh man, nothing better than placing someone scary right up at the front for the miserable skipper. I also recall purposely filling boats with as many taiwanese tourists as possible, you know the groups of 50 that come in? ALL IN ONE BOAT@#$

but that's when I'd just point and laugh at stuff, since in those cultures it's rude not to laugh when someone else does.

"elephant! hahahahahaha!"

Dock Jokes

Post by trojantuba » Tue Mar 23, 2004 1:38 am

I was the victim of such a prank..I was coming in to the unload area of Jungle Cruise. I sat and watched as two skippers one male and one female rolled up thier pant legs..stuck thier feet in the water(eww) put on big straw hats and chomped down on a reed...I was laughing so hard I could only get out a .."ok...just say goodbye to Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher over there" I tossed my mike to the front of the boat...and gave up. In an unrealted story..I was out at Jungle with a lead who asked me to take a dead head(empty boat) so he could sit down for a minute..well he laid across the center box on the boat as we rounded the front of the falls a skipper whom we liked to play jokes on came around...I sang scary Indiana Jones music as the lead proceeded to stand up and stumble around the boat zombie style..we could see the mystery guest scores..
Cast Member # 1 was seen reasing Cast Member # 2 from the dead...Mystery Guest was apalled :shock:

-(At the Indy queue) And over there we have Patrick...either that or Indiana Jones has really let himself go.

Damn - I was all set to reply to this thread, but I didn't see the word "up" in the subject line...

Kinda gives it a whole new meaning... :oops:

On that note...

I recall a cast member who would put on the silver T-Land coat and hide in the Mission Control Room of Mars. When the Goony bird landed, and all of the red lights went off, she would run around the room in a panic, throwing papers all over.

Quite unable to finish my spiel.


Down broken. Later back check.

Seeing this topic made me remember a REALLY funny story from a few years back during my teen years. Considering we make friendships that last lifetimes in the park we do get into little spats with our fellow castmembers whom we spend most of week with at work and out of work just hanging out. So one day for some reason I forgot to pickup my friend because we were carpooling to work for our canoe shift. Besides the fact that she was pretty hot she was a raging bitch but was still my friend all the same. So after that happened she refused to talk to me for 3 WHOLE MONTHS. I was over it in a week.
Anyway, fast forward to 3 months later where she finally caves and apologizes for overreacting. Picture a moving, sentimental apology with crying from her involved backstage. So after 3 months we're finally boat partners again. The very first trip after the few months we are not talking, she's in the front of the canoe and I am steering in the back. We're smiling at each other 'cause we're friends again...and wouldn't you know it while going through the rapids I hit the last rock and knock her ass into the river! LoL, I thought it was funny...was not intentional at all but REALLY funny. We were going at a pretty decent speed and passed her! Everyone in the boat was shocked and looks back at me. The guy infront of me says to me, "If that girl was your friend, she isnt anymore! hahaha!"
Well, to make a long story short we had to paddle back to pick her up where she was standing on the very same rock that I hit with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face that would intimidate the devil.
The best part of it is that we weren't even halfway done with the trip. She just sat down and rowed like I had never seen her row before. When we got back to the dock I had guests in my boat giving me Hi5's thanking me for proving the canoe was not on a track and giving them something to remember...

THE END

:lol: That's pretty funny. Sucks to be her, but still pretty funny. Of course, I'd be pissed if I were her, but whatever :)
