    Burro ? YOU SUCK !!!

    Sooo...picture this : I'm a high school kid...1972 or so...moved in a "mobile home" near Orlando, with my Brother and his Wife, because I got a summer job at the recently-opened Disney World... I was the "Ghost Boarder"...worked from 5 PM till closing, so I NEVER saw my Brother and Family !!! It was a GREAT summer !

    I was a burger-cooker and all-around gofer at Pinocchio Village Haus...right next to the "It's a Small World" ride...so for 3 months, all I heard, all day and night, was that maddening song !!! Oh yes...we had some neat bands on the stage next door...and it was a blast, eating in the tunnels underground, and talking to Goofy and Minnie Mouse, while they were not wearing their "heads"...but DANG !!!

    That song sends me into homicidal fits, to this day !!! Thanks a LOT, Burro...

    Just sayin'...

    Sorry you had to go through hearing that song so much. But I LOVE IT!!!!! Every time I go to Disney World I have to ride "It's a Small World After All"! I love the music and the colorful outfits on the moving mannequins and the song is just sooooo cheerful! Makes me light up and I remember being there as a child and the wonder of it all... !! I also loved the haunted house (piano ghosts were great!) and Peter Pan's Flight! Ahh... gotta go back.. been about 8 years since I visited there. Lol.... LOVE IT!

    DBA,

    UGH !!! I guess there's ALWAYS an alternate opinion ! Seems Burro has unpleasant memories, too...

    OTOH, the Haunted Mansion was always one of my favorites, too....along with...I admit...the Country Bear Jamboree !! I was a budding redneck, I guess...

    Here's a blast from the past ! I think those were ALL "E Tickets" !!! As an employee, we received small ticket books with our paycheck, so I never ran short of "E" tickets ! Also, late in the summer, we got a retroactive pay raise...I think my salary went from $3 something per hour to $5 something per hour ! Pretty neat for a high school Kid !!!

    One last story : The burger grill was a long, belt-driven contraption, kinda like what you see in Burger King or Pizza Hut....you put raw burgers in one end ; cooked burgers came out the other end. Well, one night, the pretty little counter girl (that I had the hots for !) came back and said she had a customer who wanted his burger "well-done". I explained to her : "Ummmm...we don't cook them that way ! The only thing I MIGHT be able to do is run a burger through twice !!!" Never been done before, to my knowledge... She reported that to the customer, and came back to tell me THAT was what he wanted... So, I dutifully plucked a burger out of the "done" bin, and ran it back through ! We all gathered around, when the now-charcoal-brick "burger" thunked out the other end ! Put it on a bun, and served it...no complaints, so I guess we made the customer happy !!! Never DID score with that counter girl, though...

    OK, OK enough hijacking the Poker Thread....

    the lady was in distress, needed a burger cooked to spec, whether you 'got some' or not you scored with the counter girl, you delivered the goods. that's what a gentleman does. sometimes it goes unappreciated or miss understood. that does not make the effort less valiant.

    i will ride that small world boat with you anytime, but i think you got a much better sweetie in the end.

    Remember I'm an Engineer...if he wanted a well-done burger, then, by God, I'll GIVE him a well-done burger !!! Simple as that...
