OT: Tigger Charged With Sex Abuse!

Wardad, I did walk eventually, but only at a fast shuffle toward the nearest lavatory facilities.

I know what you mean. I do like complaining to Americans in the service industry, it absolutely throws them. When they ask you if everything was OK with your meal, you say, fine thanks but the sprouts were overcooked and the butter on the carrots was rancid, they just look absolutely po-faced and dont know how to react. Laugh? keeps me cheery on my foreign travels... at least to the US anyhow...

I did rather enjoy Cooperstown. The food was pretty good and cheap, the music was loud, the waitresses all had funny eye make up and the beer was actually quite good.

Didnt catch a game however. The Arizona Sun Devils (whatever they are) were apparently playing something, but dont ask me what. It is probably baseball or basketball or something and I dont understand either. I would have quite liked to catch a game though. I saw the 49ers play at Candlestick Park years and years ago and quite enjoyed the spectacle.

Just got back from Disneyworld...Believe me, I kept a close eye on Tigger! Piglet seemed a bit nervous around him and most of the other animals avoided him altogether, particularly Rabbit. Only Eyore seemed to not mind where Tigger was. :-)

And there were TWO human spotters (animal handlers?) monitoring the animals at all times.

I know I'm going off topic.
From that channels news page I watched some videos and came across a video of a monkey that walks. Looked for other sites covering it. Interesting story, but the standard of originality in the worlds media isn't much. Every news service carries exactly the same report, which I guees means it just comes from Reuters or AAP. Just to be nitpicky they all say "Monkey apes humans". Its irrelevant I suppose in a human interest story (or is that Monkey interest story) and just using a phrase, but monkeys are not apes.

Edit: in Bruce Campbells Biography he is at a book signing when a group of Teenagers tell him they work as characters at Disneyland. He jokes about they must really have video of Goofy and Snow White in the back room. The Teenagers reply seriously that yes they do and then go into detail about what happens.
