Stupid Guest Tricks

Disney didn't check to see if I had a valid drivers license before they handed me the keys to drive vehicles on either Main Street or the roads on and off property. They have never taken my fingerprints, even when clearing me to serve alcohol. They did check to make sure I was 18... I think... oh, and breathing. That was very important to them for some reason -- the other stuff not so much. :sparky:

Hey, now that's just unkind! From what I remember of the Oregonian, that would be an insult ... to the dead fish.

Dammit, you're right. Okay, so what's a better name?

Well, if your intent is to tick of an Oregonian staffer, you could always call it the Tribune....

You could call it Orgami....

only suitable to fold into interesting shapes!

But the Trib has had a *couple* good articles...

Knowing the ineptitude of Disney Security it's probably just as well. I could just see them doing a background check-"Hey, Harry this guy's a member of the Augustan Society. What's that?" "I don't know, maybe they have a picnic or something in August." "I wonder, besides who's this Hadrian guy he keeps writing about? And what's AOTW? Ya' think it's some kind of code?" "Nah! He just can't spell. He means ATV. What a birdbrain!"

OTOH knowing you as I do, I'd lock-up the alcohol, hide all the keys, go sit in some dark, quiet corner and be verryyy verryy quiet. :D:

Granted, I probably look pretty harmless (and I am), but there are certainly other people who they might want to check a little bit deeper than they did me.

Really? I recall a manager saying that he/she went to a career fair and most of the people weren't hired because they didn't pass the background check.
