Pour La Fissure


Will it even ever be mended?

The "Mark Twain" has always been my favorite ride at Disneyland. A couple years ago, I even got the chance to ride in the wheelhouse with my kids. There's a little hidden cabin too with a cot where Walt used to nap.

I don't know about Disneyland, but it looks like Crack has entered a new phase in his temper tantrum in which he tries to conjure up headlines for his posts that discredit your site, with full knowledge that those headlines will appear in a prominent space on your site.

I expect this behavior to continue to escalate.

I love your new tag.

Please be sure to use it if you put up a post about Sarah Jessica Parkers vagina.

Places Trooper hates is WAY to lengthy. I suggest places he loves. Brooklyn, Yankee Stadium, Florida.

As the man says, "My kind of music".

"Up the lazy river" with Dino and the Mills Brothers is great too.

Haha.The jokes on Trooper.

SJP is really a man in drag. That's why she was so good in "Sex and the City"

Or whatever it called.

My memories of Disneyland are fond. I visited soon after its opening in summer, 1960 at the end of my soph yr in HS. Never HAVE been to "Disneyworld." My memories of 26-lake Orlando ("the city beautiful") are all pre-Disney. (I had several fraternity brothers from there when I was at LSU.)

A short "funny": When they added a "Bourbon Street" at Disneyland Walt invited the then Mayor of New Orleans Robert Maestri to the grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony. "Why it looks JUST LIKE Burbon St!" Maestri exclaimed. "But a whole lot cleaner" Disney muttered under his breath. LOL! (As is well known, you can practically eat off the sidewalks at Disney's places, neat-freak that he was..)

Disney modeled his park in part from Switzerland. James Joyce is alleged to have once remarked that Zürich’s Bahnhofstrasse was so clean that one could eat soup off it.

I've been to both (Disneyland and Zürich); Disneyland is much cleaner.

“My sadness is that we are probably today more race and difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school,” he said. “To my knowledge, I was the first black kid in Savannah, Georgia, to go to a white school. Rarely did the issue of race come up. Now, name a day it doesn’t come up. Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody doesn’t look at you right, somebody says something. Everybody is sensitive. If I had been as sensitive as that in the 1960s, I’d still be in Savannah. Every person in this room has endured a slight. Every person. Somebody has said something that has hurt their feelings or did something to them — left them out. That’s a part of the deal.
