It was magical.

Reminds me of the time I was skiing. We had a house at Tahoe. It had stairs from the driveway to the first floor. One guy who had just gotten his chiropractor license slid down and ended up with his girlfriend in his lap. He got up and described everything he'd hurt in detailed medical terms. Another guy there asked, "Why don't you just say you busted your ass?"

Yikes, minor burns every day? I mean, I wouldn't report that stuff either, but every day? That sucks!

Oh, yes... I know you've been here over a year now, but this is your first post, so with Wombat on his way to go take us some pictures of the Wonder's Walt Disney Suite, the work of the Marsupial Welcoming Committee falls to me, so I shall do it with great aplomb.

Not really an injury, but it's funny but a CM ripped his pants on the exit gates revealing boxer shorts with smiley faces on them! :D
Was that Wallaby...or Zazu...or Cranbiz????? :p:

If it makes you feel any better, I was once smoking barefoot on a patio with a friend of mine and I saw my roommate through a window coming home to our dorm room. I jumped up to wave hello and promptly smashed my right foot into a cinder block our dorm used to (illegally) prop open the outer door, breaking the three smallest toes. I collapsed crying, but laughing so hard at the same time! It hurt so bad, but even in the moment, I knew it was hilarious. :p:
I so thought you were going to say you threw the ciggie on the ground and put it out by crushing it with your BARE foot.... :eek:

There is one guy in the info booth at TTC because he thought the thing was turned off, was strapping it down and the lady using it decided it needed to be moved. All said and done, he had two broken fingers. SG didn't even apologize, but said something like, "Ooh, that looks like it hurts!"

Bitch.
Yeah, that is so rude! Gad what a bitch!!!!!! That is almost assault, isn't it?

I was so conscious (sp...I never get these words right? :( ) of my SUV-ECV while at DL, I did not hit a soul, except that idiot kid who actually landed on the front of my ECV by jumping over the front of it and underestimating the distance. I saw many ECV users that were rude and would just stop in the middle of walkways. There was an older, very heavy couple in Adventureland right in front of Indy (and all you DL CMs know about that horrendous bottleneck!!! :eek: ) Both were on ECVs and they stop right in the middle of the Adventureland path side by side to get their picture taken! WTF???????? They were blocking the whole area and I was right behind them on my ECV and was shouting at them to move, honking my horn at them to get over to the side so people could walk. Finally I hear the older gentleman say, "I don't think we should have stopped here. People are trying to get around us. We won't be able to get a good picture IF all these people keep coming!" WTFWTFWTF!!!!!!!! Really Sparky? What gave you that idea, Mr. Dumbass??? The thousands of people trying to get around your fat asses on your meat wagons! That is not an approved Kodak moment, so get yer fat asses off to the side by the Merchandise Bazaar and have the Dumbass fanmily offspring take your picture over there, NOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRIGGEN WALKWAY! Holy Crap! Are these people insane?????? I was so pissed that they stopped the whole movemment for a few minutes that I shouted at them when I finally was able to get around them and as I whizzed by, said, "Move your fat asses out of the walkway!" Course I croaked it out, cause I had laryngitis.

I think God gave me laryngitis on purpose, because he knew I was gonna yell at SGs. :p: He was looking out for my welfare from the redneck SG who probably would have punched me if I said the wrong thing to them and they heard me. That is why God took my voice away! I would have punched them back. I was in THAT kind of mood, sick and in pain, on a meat wagon, which I did NOT want and unable to be my usual walking vivacious self! I HAYED NOT being able to walk the Parks as I usually do. Disability sucks and I am not very good at it, yet... :(

What a happy holiday vision!

Susi, Susi, Susi, you missed a great opportunity. Instead of honking at them you should have pulled up between them and displayed your best half a peace sign for the camera. That would give them a lasting memory. :D: :twisted: :D: :twisted:

Or pulled up behind them and "mooned" them! That would be a picture that they would remember!!!

Hahaha, thanks. And it is probably because I am clumsy, only required on trip to first aid in my 8 months in the company, but dripping popcorn oil and the milk steaming wand can burn a little. :)

Isn't it interresting that all popcorn popping machine manufacturers seem to insist on putting the lever for dumping the fresh popped corn in a location that makes it almost a sure thing that you WILL get some of the hot kernels and hot oil dripping onto your arm.

I did several years in a movie theatre just out of high school and one of my duties was to pop all the popcorn each week (I would pop 100 to 150 lbs of corn each week and store the popped corn for use the whole week).
