Denton, Denton, you've got no pretension
You're where the heart is, you're OK
Denton, Denton, I'd just like to mention
You're the home of youth
You're America's truth
You're Denton, Denton, U.S.A.

I say that the ducks own the Magic Kingdom, we just rent it from them.

If you're going to do that, then you have to get X-Plane and do a Space Shuttle Launch with turkey vultures in the area.
I love turkey vultures so very much. They have this combination of dignity and vulnerability that I find very appealing.

The moat?! YUCK! While cleaner than, say, the Jungle Cruise or the it's a small world water it is still nasty. Lord only knows what all gets thrown in there, people spit in it, ducks crap in it, things wash down storm drains into it, etc.

Just as an occasional guest there I have seen many snakes in the moat, swimming around like they own the place. :eek:

Jambo and Karibuni! Welcome aboard. Go ahead, slide on in across the rows, tuck any loose articles in the net bags in front of you, that will keep them from bouncing around if we hit rough roads, and believe me, we will be hitting some rough roads. For your safety, please remain seated at all times, watch your hands and feet to the right as the doors close, oops, they're closed, you're stuck with me, and we're off ...
