My old boss (about 6'2") went to Thailand to visit his wife's family. They were visiting some sort of tourist area and he was waiting outside. He noticed groups of people gathering around him. Yep, he was the landmark that families were using as a gathering point.BRWombat wrote:Hey, they could combine this idea and the Disney one -- put them in the stocks in Liberty Square!
I've never been to Japan, but I'd be curious about the attention I'd draw. I know the average U.S. guy towers over the average Japanese man, so I'd seem like Goliath (or Godzilla?) to them, since I'm 6'5" and over 300 lbs. There's no way I could duck the "westerner" tag if I went to Tokyo Disneyland. (But kudos to the teachers for finding a way to get the students there!)

Maybe he just provided a lot of shade.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

LOVE IT! What does "Shikyowon" mean on its own, and how do you pronounce the whole phrase?glendalais wrote:You mean like Sentōyū Bukuro-rui?

Do I get to say, "Go home, Skippy. I work alone."?? (Before the heartwarming scene where I realize his value and we work together to stop the evil forces of ... whomever. Hey, who would be the villain in this flick?)DisneyMom wrote:LOVE the title......

Sorry about that, Forgot to use non marching band terminology...hobie16 wrote:What is a battery drummer?
but mechurchlady is dead on with the explanation (wikipedia is right for once! lol)
Battery in marching band = snare drummers, tom tom drummers (We call then tenor drums), Cymbals who marched, and bass drummers... if you marched in the field and carried a percussion instrument, your in the battery...
otherwise if you played a percussion instrument but were up front, your in front ensemble otherwise known as the pit.
