I see it like how in some movies there is this trucker nicknamed "Tiny" and when he steps out of his truck he is actually this huge dude.
And then there are nicknames like the one I had in high school, which has resurfaced at work even though I didn't go to high school with anyone I work with.

Laso, you can't leave it at that...


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Does your buses have the little skirts that push object out from under the bus ahead of the right rear wheel? I have seen them on transit buses in MD and DC and may be a safety feature to think about for disney buses. It looks like a small plow that forces objects out the side and hangs directly in front of the rear wheel on the Pass side.

Hmm, Empire550, it seems as though you have not been welcomed, so allow me to offer you a very warm* welcome to that slice of the internet we call SGT. This website contains threads with quick twists and turns and advise you to not try to hard to keep up with them. Please keep your hands, arms, and safely legs inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the Marsupial Welcoming Committee who have now been informed of the mistake and should be arriving shorting to give you your official welcome.

**this instance of hot means that you are now literally on fire, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience

"Mistake"? "Mistake"??? The MWC does not make mistakes. We may, at times, delay our welcome so as to build anticipation and delight in the hearts of those reading the forums, but that is not a mistake.

That's our story and we're sticking to it. :p:

Welcome, empire550!!! :D: :D: :D:

yeah, I found that, too.

I saw the demo clip of the stunt man being pushed out of the way, but I don't know if it would have prevented it the boy's death or not.

It's certainly not a bad idea.

Ive thankfully never saw it push a person but have seen it push several things like backpacks out of the way. I'm surprised bus manufactures haven't incorporated the design into the bus itself.
