I fell into the wheel casing at indy. I've almost fallen off the same train several times, almost got sucked under one of the trains (the wheel casing, and getting sucked under were cases of platforms not being where my foot thought they were suposed to be.) i forgot to re-load my gun twice, and had to pull the "That just can't stand that clicking sound." i've thrown myself at the ground a few times (i always seem to forget to be distracted by something just before I hit the ground [read the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by douglas adams]) Dropped a pole on my toe, said fuck onstage once or twice (quietly.) constantly try to close my station gates with the station stop even when i'm at the advance console (which doesn't control the gates.) whopped someone on the face on guest control once (that bitch was goin the wrong way anyhow.) Said hi to STDuck over my train's PA. I've stopped mid-spiel (on trains) and put down the mic. I'm sure i've done more, because that's just a sample of me in six months at the resort.


Gimme some soft serve!

Yesterday, I was at mansion at GC1, and I was spieling to people about when to come back if they have a fastpass. It was right before 3:00 pm. I was already exhausted so I was a little out of it. I really needed a nap. I wound up saying "It's not 3 o'cock yet, forks." About 5 heads turned and stared at me. The other CMs out there were cracking up.

Well, GMC you're not supposed to conciously (sp?) think about getting distracted it's just supposed to happen so that you forget to hit the ground. :)
Anyway, on Storybook I once said that Practical Pigs house is made out of wolf proof pricks. Noone even reacted.

I told a guest to go to "Load 4" at pooh today. Yeah I meant row 4....
This is what happens when you try to group, load, stay warm and disbatch at the load consule all at the same time.

I tried different passwords and combinations, and after about 20 minutes, I gave up. I sent an e-mail to whoever runs this site, and after making a fool out of myself, I finally figgured out what I was doing wrong.

I guess I needed to add the spaces to my name when trying to reset my password. :oops:

Is anyone else willing to admit their own Stupid Tricks???

I've gone out onstage as Goofy with my pants unzipped (they zip in the back). A lead saw me, and ran out, yelling loudly, "Goofy! Your pants are unzipped!" I made a BIG show of trying to hide my derriere while appearing embarrassed until she could zip me. I've also gone out onstage (more than once) in costume when my counterpart was still out there! ("Who's that mister?" "That's Goofy's stunt double.") Once in Fantasmic! I got in the habit of putting on the Maleficent nose with double-sided tape rather than gluing it, so that I could talk more freely between shows by taking them off. I'd put them on before the show and all was well. One night, however, I had just done the Maleficent part, and as my lift came down, the ASM yelled to me, "What happened to your nose?" I felt for it, and I'd forgotten it and the chin for the show!
