Some time, you just can't deny fate, and you just have to simply go along with it.

I am a Disney pin collector, but I don't collect Chip 'N Dale pins, at least, not a Chip 'N Dale theme. I may collect them as part of a larger set that has a different theme, but as a rule, I don't collect Chip 'N Dale pins, unlike Moonbie here. :)

Still, something strange (or annoying, depending on how you look at it) happened at one of the pin event this year. It was at the terrific "Expedition Pin" pin event this past May that I was given a "divine" message from the Pin Gods that I should be collecting a particular pin. We were given tickets to play 4 different pin games. Each game was different, but they all essentially involved randomly selecting an object that contain a randomly selected pin that we get to keep. I forgot what I got after playing the first game, but what was interesting was what happened during the next 3 games. I got 3 identical pins!

The pin was the Chip 'N Dale "Dole Whip" cast lanyard pins. It's a cute pin, and I already have it as part of my Cast Lanyard pin collection. And in fact, I had a couple of them on my lanyard at that time for trading! So here I was getting 3 more of the same pin from randomly selecting them at these pin games!

I decided to use this as a revelation. The pin gods obviously have decided that this pin an I are meant to be together. So I have now included the Chip 'N Dale "Dole Whip" pin as one of the pins that I will collect. From now on, I will actively trade for this pin. I want to see just how many of this pin I can get. So far, not counting the one I already have in my pin frame, I have 6. I want to be able to fill a whole lanyard with this pin, and then start putting them on my hat.

So, trade with me your Chip 'N Dale "Dole Whip" pin!

RUMORS! We got rumors! But this one is SO delicious, we can't keep it to ourselves!

Fans are just going giddy over the rumor of a possible involvement of http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Scoop-Tim-Burton-Might-Direct-Pirates-4-10465.html"! And with Johnny Depp already signed to start in it, this could easily be the most anticipated movie to come out in a long time. After all, who is the director that has gotten some of the amazing work out of Johnny Depp? Tim Burton!

Now, with Burton directing Depp in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland, if that movie becomes a hit, then Disney will certainly not want to let go of such an amazing and successful team. At the very least. Burton will give a refreshing take on Pirates that will definitely be unique.

Damn! Wish I believe in some god to pray to to make this come true. Maybe I'll pray to the Pin God... :)

Disney has quietly http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-disney1108oct11,0,7039885.story" at the 4 remaining restaurants that had it on their menu.

Disney insisted Friday that this was no political statement. Officials wouldn't even comment on the international animal-rights campaign that calls foie gras production cruel and inhumane and seeks to persuade restaurants to drop the dish.

Good riddance to foie gras. It looks and smells like cat food, anyway. I swear I could plop a tin of Fancy Feast on a platter and people wouldn't know the difference.
 
I actually have had foie gras a couple of time many years ago, and I must admit, I actually like it. And no, it doesn't look anywhere near like Fancy Feast, unless you want a patte of it. :)

But after I found out what it is and how they got it, I stopped eating it. Not that I've been to many restaurants that served it, but I've made a conscious decision that it isn't something that I would ever order.

I liked foie gras also, but admit that lately I've been serving my guests Fancy Feast.

I bet your guests purred at the end of their meals... Just hope they don't cough up any fur balls.

This is a very useful book to have if you travel to WDW with kids, and you can win it here!

The contest is very simple. Starting tomorrow (10/14) and ending at midnight CDT on Sunday (10/19), I will ask one trivia question per day related to things discussed in this thread. So all the answers are readily available (you can even do a search for the answer). All you have to do is send your answers to me *VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE* before the final deadline. You may enter late and catch up with all the questions as long as all of them are submitted before the deadline.

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

In case of a tie, a random drawing will done by me, and all decisions are final. I will contact the winner to make arrangements for the prize.

Good luck!

I don't have kids, can I have a pin instead? o:)

Maybe you have friends with kids? You can always re-gift it. Christmas is coming soon! :)

Due to the upcoming server upgrade, we may extend this contest beyond the current stated deadline, depending how much access to PF is interrupted.

This is another "awwwww..." moment.

The fourth (yes, that's "4") baby giraffe this year http://www.laughingplace.com/News-ID10031530.asp" . The bouncing, healthy baby has been named "Bonsu".

I see that he's a splitting image of his mother.

This video is just plain hysterical (and disturbing at the same time), and reinforces my belief on why I would never have kids, especially at WDW! :)

Notice that not a single other person got on that car. the kids must have been acting up before getting aboard.

I have a headache now, and I blame you Zz, I blame you!

And since the parents are videotaping it all and not intervening, I can only assume they think that sort of behavior is acceptable. How much sugar and caffeine were those kids fed to be so hyperactive that late into the evening? I expect kids to be tired and cranky at the end of a day at Disney when they've been overstimulated all day and finally crash, but that's not what I saw in that video, just a bunch of obnoxious kids with no responsible parents telling them to sit still in the moving tram.

This is a good reason to stay at the nicer hotels near Disney rather than the inexpensive motel-like ones that the families with a dozen unruly children stay at. I would NOT want to deal with a family like that first thing in the morning before getting my coffee into me.

But then again, we can see if we can encourage Austin to do what he was thinking of!

:smile: And then parents wonder why every so often the older brother or sister feels the need to CLOBBER the younger brother or sister. :rolleyes:
 
Election Day 2008Today is the US Presidential election day. It promises to be a historic event.The candidates have gone back and forth with their issues and policies.We know where each of them stand (at least, we should by now if we want to make an informed decision).We also know their running mates and who might be nominated as part of their staff.However, in all of this...... there is a very clear choice on who is the most qualified...... and who should really be elected to this most important position in the world.There is one, and only one...... clear choice!
