Though it really would be cool to have a space shuttle take off right past us!
Wallaby, what would probably get me fired is that I'd eventually resort to the line from Real Genius (so many good quips in that film!): Which word didn't you understand?
It would be cool it they did a sorin over WDW and topped it off with a shuttle launch!!

(I THOUGHT that you looked a little like Laslo!!)

We could probably fake that, but the skiing on fresh powder, that's gonna be tough!

I've actually used nearly that line: "What part of *NO* would you like me to explain in more detail?"

Ya just have to give it that Disney twist ... sorta like the twist you'd like to put in their neck....

I have a feeling that "Soarin' Over Florida" would look something vaguely like this. :)

Not bad for being limited to stock travelogue footage... (Too bad they didn't have any Disney footage for the ending)

When they first put it in rumors abounded that when the 50th Anniversary Celebration was over they were going to put in a new film going from Disneyland to Disney World, or something similar.

But I guess they never got the funding to work on it.

The mountains of Clermont?

Yep, so many good lines.

Professor: "I want to see more of you around the lab."
Student: "Fine. I'll gain weight."

Student, to hot girl he's just met: "So, if there's ever anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you..."
(Her reply was even better, but I won't spell it out here.)

Professor: That's a wonderful story, Bodie. And I've notice you've lost your stutter.
Student: I've been giving myself shock treatments.
Professor: Up the voltage.

Student 1: Something strange happened to me this morning...
Student 2: Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort-of Sun God robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Student 1: No.
Student 2: Why am I the only one who has that dream?

Okay, I'll stop now.

Not if there's a fresh load in from Colombia. :D:

Years ago, when HBO still played "shorts" between movies, I saw one that WDW should think about.

A camera crew filmed every mile of driving cross country, from the east coast to the west coast.

The unique thing was that they "played" it back at the speed that a satallite in orbit would cross the country, I think about 15 minutes!

It was one of those things tht you couldn't stop watching! of course they had some background music, and every so often a voice would say what state they were crossing!

(Student: they are my parents, what can I say.
Dr: were you adopted?)
