Stupid Guest Tricks

Was it Mae West who asked W.C. Fields "Is that a banana in your pocket...?"

I took my baby ferret Sam to the vet once.
and she said, is that a ferret in your pocket,
or are you just really happy to see me. I said, both.

It was!

Off topic: What does everyone do while waiting 150 seconds between posts? Grumpy Pirate, any ideas?

I picked up my knitting while waiting to post this one. Of course, you can always add nonsense like I'm doing right now and go on and on and on. Are my 150 seconds up yet? Let's see....

Thats easy. I have multiple browsers open, I post, then go to another browser and read and post on other boards, or switch (KVM) to another computer and read e-mail or write or scan other things.

As an example. I am converting some LP's to CD's for a friend, so that he dosn't have to get a turntable to play the older albums. That computer is the one that I have the Ion turntable hooked up and the software to convert it, installed on. I don't usually get on boards on that system.

Upper left hand corner I think? Why don't they just make it require a key to print overrides? Or a RFID tag that would let you track it to the cast member that used it.

They do. Unfortunately, many attractions keep at least one FP machine unlocked. Also bear in mind that FP Distribution usually doesn't get picked up by CDS until after the park has been open for about an hour.

There's no legit way to do what the eBay seller is doing. According to my local Shop Steward, Disney feels that printing overrides like that is theft of company property (and he just had a case where a seasonal CM was termed when she was caught keeping ReAds at FP Merge -- same thing).

Legally it is theft if a person takes a fastpass when they are not entitled to get one. Using the override button would be also a violation of company policy and would mean the guest was going where they were not allowed. A guest cannot be touching buttons they are not allowed to like the override. It may be only a fastpass but it is a piece of cardstock that is stolen. You can steal pixels, time, and other nontangible things.

I hope he gets his just reward.

Good question, what to do between posts....Maybe SGT can play a little Muzak or the theme from Jeopardy? ;)

or we could have the SGT Arcade room!

I can see the claw game. Your glass container is filled with FP to any ride, you have to pay $5 each play. But the problem is: the claw has problems picking up flat objects. :D:

The Claw, and don't forget the hologram game. Basically, through advanced holography, you are made to believe that you will receive a button that will act as a FastPass for everything all day. It'll work until you try to pick it up.
