Has Tig gone NUTS?

I never worked at Disney World, only Disneyland.

I heard about this on the radio this morning. Back in the day, your handler was your buffer between you and the guest- the costume can be unwieldy at best and, like the 2004 incident, something unplanned can happen.

As I understand it, this incident may have been intentional, maybe not. Allegedly, the child had been tormenting the character. People forget that there's a human in that suit.

However it doesn't bother me if you prefer to think I am awesome in my wrath!

Every News Channel last night. But as Tigger was having a [b]Bad Fur Day[/b] with his/her/it's fur the wrong colour I put it down to that being way too red for the real Tigger.

It didn't look so bad the backhander that was handed out to the delinquent who in all likely hood derived the slap around but throwing him to the ground and stomping all over him while Tigger Bounced around was just too much. But we all know that Tiggers love to bounce and apparently not even the problem child's parents realised what was happening. They thought it was part of the act. Even when the ambulance arrived and carried the unconscious child away to Intensive Care in a Serious Unstable Condition. :D

Tigger what ever I've done to upset you [b]I Didn't Mean It, It Was A Slip Of The Keyboard Nothing Else I'm Sure That You Understand.[/b] Really! :)

But if you like here is some news that will interest you apparently during the recent Ashes Test Match between the Aussies and the Poms 2 of the Aussies players used Pink Handled Cricket Bats one was giving away several thousand Dollars per century and the other was giving away several dollars per run, he made over a century, to those who don't follow cricket 100 + runs so there was another couple of K handed out there.

Glen McGrath & Andrew Symons where the Aussies who carried the Pink Handled Bats and where the ones donating the money. Currently there is some talk of the specially made Pink Handled Bats being Auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Awayness Charity to increase the amount of money generated over the Ashes Series. But at the same time both players are talking of continuing to use these bats and continue the donations. So what will happen in the short term is anyone's guess.

You're TOAST, JD. I will get you for this if it takes every stripe. You aren't far enough away!

Now that I have gotten that off my chest...

I'll go back to my usual pacifist nature now. :)

if they couldnt talk either.
then they cant tell. So either break their jaw or make sure that they are too young to talk.

This may be another case of "wardrobe malfunction".

The case in 2004 where it was alleged that the character had inappropriately touched a 13 or 14 year old girl was proven to be an error. The gloves to the costume are overstuffed and frankly, I can tell you from experience that you literally can feel nothing while wearing them. One of the first things you learn is to tightly control your movements. From what I have heard, the character simply was not controlling the costume.

The way I dealt with that situation was to let people touch me, not the other way around. Little kids are annoyingly short and difficult to see in the mask. If I waited, they would interact with me and let me know where the safe field was.

A note of caution here, JD- before the smart aleck comments begin- when I am wearing an 80 pound furry costume, you may get away with touching. But never forget, I have a handler of my own!

The thing that is so hurtful is that the character should be separate from the action. "Tigger" did not do anything. The actor did.

However, JD, it is my considered opinion that you should continue to be VERY afraid...

:D

Just got home from class, and checking to see if the coast is clear. ;\

So far, so good. Haven't seen anyone bouncing OR walking up the street yet. again, so far, so good!

B-)

The kid only complained to it's parents once they got out of the park and they where filming the entire incident and thought nothing of it at the time.

Lets sue Disney or sell your story to Jerry Springer and make money.

Better still if you manage to do both you'll just be that much richer and no one suffers in the minds of the money grubbing slime balls who start the complaints.

and want to stay that way, so don't get mad at me! Don't get T2 involved either! Anyway a toddler is just the right height to do some serious damage to a man. Their head is extremely hard. I would prefer a baby or a teenager.
Yes you do have to think of everything, I'm a man. Jeez, what a question.

Edited because Maecuff scared me into misspelling a word.

Your note should read:

Mae is NICE.
GG is the sexiest woman alive. Unless you count Mae.
JD likes show tunes.
Never kick a Sleepin' Dawg.
HAL has all the answers.
Tigger needs new socks.

That should about do it.

it's a [b] heffalump [/b]

- or maybe it's a [b] woozle [/b]

[I] run away! run away!!! [/I]

[B] [I] SSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPLLLLAAAAAAATTTTTTT [/B] [/I]

oh dear.

too late.

that Tigger just bounced you!

]:)

:p

GG

I don't claim to know all the answers I just open Airlocks doors or lift doors when theres nothing there to those people who don't agree with my answers. :D

Col ]:)

Always good to see another Michigander on here! :D

And you EAT the 5th avenue to death, not beat it to death! :0

sounds like gg "took it the wrong way"?

oh my..... :^0

to NOT smile every time I look at that picture!

How could I NOT share it?

:x

Not only will I get Tig2 to bounce you, I'll get TechExec to call you an AWEERDSAS ASFDOG too.

Now.

[b]BEHAVE! [/B]

Don't you find the smell of burning fur is a put off? :p

Besides after the fur has burnt its way into the plate you can never cook anything to eat on it again so you're stuck with BBQ puppies which eventually gets hard to do as you start to run out of stray neighbourhood puppies after a short time. :D

Col

If you shave the puppies first, no burning hair smell.
Then throw them in ice water so they will not be as upset when thrown on the grill (its warmer).
Soon, grilled puppies. Ah, yes, Garlic, onion, Lemon, thyme. Also, may I add to sprinkle on peppercorns (lightly).

Just provided that JD doesn't get upset I'll be in that and No I don't know anything about computers at all. [b]Honest[/b] :8}

That was a nasty vicious lie started by someone who was using PC's when that meant Politically Correct not Personal Computer. But if this helps I did go to bed around 5.00 PM and was up ready for a 8.30 start. God I really do have problems don't I? :_|

Secure Unit [b]Yes Please!!!![/b] I hope that means plastic spoons so you don't attempt to cut your wrists with them and lots of Meds provided so you can watch the paint flake off the walls while you drool down the front of whatever you are not wearing. [i]I need to give my brain or what little is left of it a rest for a while so the few remaining brain cells don't get too tired.[/i] :p

As for the State of the IT Systems that's easy [b]I Don't Do Medical Work[/b] wouldn't be good practise to have someone die because I screwed up again. Surely that must count as some small attempt to try to remain part way sane shouldn't it? :^0

Besides I learnt this a long time ago when I was at IBM when faced with a computer that doesn't do as it's told pout at least 10 gallons of polluted sea water through it while it's powered up and then you know that it's broken. You also get a great looking light show as well but you have to follow some basic electrical safety procedures. :D

While I'm sure that the techs will appreciate that form of fixing I'm not so sure that the Bureaucrats do. ;\
