Stupid Guest Tricks

Shorty said it! And the absolute best is when you can make a little magic in return for the CM's. At least I think so.

I had a wonderful, totally unexpected magical moment when I and a group of friends visited last September. We spent most of our time with members from this board, and a group of us went to MNSSHP, dressed up. I'd made Evil Step sister costumes for a friend and I, just for fun. With all of us adults (no kids) in costume, we got alot of attention! Management gave us free ice cream (which for us Canadians was really needed in that heat!), we got to spend some one on one time with the Step sisters and Stepmother, ended up with our own character escorts for part of the night, and at the end of the night, we went to finish it off with a visit with Cinderella and Prince Charming. The greeters and managers were so excited and impressed by our costumes, they ended up closing the doors (we were the very last guests of the night), posing us, and opening the doors for a private audience with Cindy and the Prince. I'll never forget the looks on their faces (and have the pictures to prove it!). What an absolute blast, and totally unexpected.

That's the best kind of magic, not the 'me me me', 'gimme gimme gimme' kind. That isn't magic...that's spoiled brattiness.

Perhaps. Just don't let them read their poetry to you. "Oh freddled gruntbuggly, thy nacturations are to me/As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee..."

(Yes, that was from memory. Be afraid. Be very afraid.)

And I thought I was the only person who LOVED that movie! I'm not afraid, Wombat, just one more reason to like you! :)

Well I happen to think- *Takes a paddle to the face.* Err... nevermind.

As long as you have your towel!!!

Hold on, I need to get a Babel fish...

Let's see now, I put the towel on the hook, the bag in front of the hole, the mail on the bag.... :cat1:

Edit: No, wait, it's the robe on the hook, and the towel over the grate....

Have you tried putting their poetry into the 54 translations site?

I actually have, just after my previous post! Unfortunately, the site doesn't translate nonsense words, so there wasn't much change.

At work I am forced to listen to Lady Gaga, Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift on a daily basis so Vogon poetry would be a welcome relief.
And the next time the mice rebuild the planet they need to spend less time on Norway and more time on music that people can listen to without wanting to jump from the nearest tall building.
