People of the Park. (http://www.peopleofthepark.com/)

[CoasterMatt]

I'm sure at least one pic of me'll end up there at some point.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow, it's been two years. The image still hasn't faded from where it burned in my retinas:

1355

[Melonballer]

Yep, I was watching for people I knew in the pictures. So far none spotted

[Ghoulish Delight]

Didn't see anyone I know personally, but at least 1 or 2 of them I think I've seen in the park myself.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I dunno, maybe cause I'm one of "them", but the pictures on that site seem pretty mild. In fact, the majority of them I stared at wondering what the big deal was.

This, however, was revolting

Is there a baby in there or is that huge stroller just for the plushies?

[Gn2Dlnd]

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before half of us show up there. Maybe we should beat them to it and submit our own fine selves at the heights of our geekery.

Let's start with Matt. ;)

[RStar]

I've seen worse myself. But I'm not in the habit of pointing my camera at them. I think I'd rather just enjoy my stay and leave the other guests alone.

But If i'm behind a lady that wants to stand at the counter of The World of Disney and bend over with no panties on, I just might whip out my camera and take a picture to post on the web. After all, isn't that what she was thinking when she decided to dress like that to go to Disneyland?

[Not Afraid]

Chris has already had his internet 15 minutes of fame.

Hey that's a new poster - guess I got an extra 15 minutes

[Chernabog]

LOL what's even more sad is if the picture is about you and you gotta read the nasty comments about how nuts you are.. oh the joy of the internet.

[RStar]

Hey that's a new poster - guess I got an extra 15 minutes

And that Farrah poster get's it's extra 15 minutes also...

[cirquelover]

OMG, my exMIL bought me those exact same pants for Christmas one year , might have been around the mid 80's. It must have been an LA thing because we'd never seen pants like that up here. She said she saw them in a store window and thought of me, Gee thanks!

[SacTown Chronic]

This, however, was revolting
http://www.peopleofthepark.com/storage/post-images/people/2010/02/41.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1266748429410 (http://www.peopleofthepark.com/thepeople/2010/2/21/dont-bother-me-im-eating.html)At least he doesn't have a "wide stance".

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Evil pointing and laughing aside - most of these are no big deal. I guess they want quantity over "quality". I mean, I get annoyed that people wear velour pjs as if they were outdoor clothing, but it doesn't make for an interesting website.

[BarTopDancer]

The awesome ones should show up around Bat's Day. And by awesome I mean awesome - people pull off amazing outfits for Bat's Day.

[RStar]

Besides, if you can't dress wierd at the parks, where can you?

[wolfy999]

Wal-Mart

[dlrp_bopazot]

Europeans loves Wal Mart !

[Ghoulish Delight]

And Americans love Tesco (Fresh N' Easy here)

[alphabassettgrrl]

Please don't tell me Fresh N Easy is the equivalent of WalMart. I'd like to try F&E but not if it's like WalMart...

[Kevy Baby]

Please don't tell me Fresh N Easy is the equivalent of WalMart. I'd like to try F&E but not if it's like WalMart... F&E is more like Trader Joe's, except without personality

[Ghoulish Delight]

It's hard to define exactly where F'nEasy fits. It doesn't really have the quality and premium products that makes Trader Joe's stand out. Honestly the type and quality of products they have is pretty much on par with any of the big supermarket chains, imo, but with far less selection and variety. It's like an overgrown convenience store in many ways, but with supermarket quality. The one distinguishing thing is their fairly good selection of ready-to-go meals (mostly some variation of pasta and cheese or meat and rice, or sandwich).

The company that owns them, Tesco, is in many ways the Wal*Mart of Europe. Not all of their stores are exactly like Wal*Mart since they operate a range of store types from convenience stores, to supermarkets, to Wal*Mart style megastores. But as I understand it, it's seen in many ways in the same "monolith of consumerism" light that Wal*Mart is.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Bummer. Ok. The megalithic aspect is one thing I dislike about Wallyworld. Thanks.

[MouseWife]

Oh so happy not to be on there anywhere.....

I think the worse one was the fanny flash.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I'm almost afraid to go to the Park now....

[Disneyphile]

Bummer. Ok. The megalithic aspect is one thing I dislike about Wallyworld. Thanks. They're totally not treated the same way at F&E like they are at Wal-Mart though. And, their products are WAY better quality. I actually place them between standard markets and TJ's.

Ken and I actually buy most of our groceries at F&E, especially produce and meats. We also like TJ's, but there isn't one close by to justify the extra mileage.

[Ghoulish Delight]

It should also be noted that F'nEasy is non-union. That doesn't matter to me either way, but to some it does.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I'll probably give 'em a shot. Thanks.

[JWBear]

Bill loves F&E. I still think it sounds like a feminine hygene product.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Wow. MC is getting alot of heat on the Blog part of that site.

[Kevy Baby]

Wow. MC is getting alot of heat on the Blog part of that site.Where? The only thing I could find about MC on the Blogs/Rants section (http://www.peopleofthepark.com/blog/) was this:

ETA: Never mind. If I had clicked the link at the beginning of the quote below, I would have sees the readers comments (http://www.peopleofthepark.com/blog/2010/2/14/micechatcom-hates-us.html#comments)

MiceChat.com hates us... (http://www.peopleofthepark.com/blog/2010/2/14/micechatcom-hates-us.html)

After a user (not one of us) posted a link to our page in the forums, a moderator moved us to the "litter box," and shortly after they deleted all mention of us from their forums. That's what you get for expressing an opposite opinion, I suppose. Not EVERYONES going to like it.


It's weird because all the posts on the forum were positive and talked about how it was funny idea. One user, I forget the username, even said, "I think I found my new homepage!"


Never the less, thanks again to MiceChat user "ocswaynee" for trying to get our little site some exposure, and to anyone else who said kind things about us on MiceChat.com, thank you as well!


To the MiceChat.com moderators: Please try and be a little bit more open minded about things next time. Not everything is Fantasyland...


P.S. Stop emailing me, I don't want to go to the "Gumball Rally," whatever the heck that is...


Without going over to MC, it sounds like some people at MC may be whining. THIS IS NOT THE START OF A BOARD WAR - it just sounds like SOME people at MC are speaking up. <-- not relevant any more, but I didn't want to delete it in case anyone thinks I was pancaking

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Its in the comments...

[Kevy Baby]

Its in the comments...Yeah - I edited my post

And some of the comments are funny :D

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Uh huh - just rip me to pieces Kevy. ;)

[Not Afraid]

I'm glad I don't deal with the MC-BS any more.

[Disneyphile]

Y'all realize we're still "watched" to this day, right? NA - you're going to end up on someone's poo-poo list again just for having a mind of your own! ;)

[Not Afraid]

Are you kidding me? What a bunch of losers! :rolleyes:

[MouseWife]

I just wanna know...is it true Bornieo is really on there?

[Disneyphile]

Are you kidding me? What a bunch of losers! :rolleyes:I wish I were, but nope, not kidding. They seriously report back too. I know things that I'm not supposed to know. And the people who do the reporting don't know that I know who they are. It's kinda fun having that knowledge, really. ;)

[Gemini Cricket]

I say, if your pic shows up on PotP, embrace your nerd-ery! Say, 'Yep, that's me' and be done with it. The more you rail against it, the more attention the site gets and the cooler you appear to be.
:)

:)Exactly. Be at peace with your inner gold pants! :snap:

[Gemini Cricket]

Exactly. I mean, it takes a lot to keep a pair of pants like that from tarnishing. Nicely done, Chris!
:D

[Not Afraid]

The Gold Pants Euphemism.

[Disneyphile]

Inner Gold Pants = Fashion Zen

[JWBear]

If you're going to wear gold lamé, wear it like you mean it!

[Deebs]

They seriously report back too. I know things that I'm not supposed to know. And the people who do the reporting don't know that I know who they are. It's kinda fun having that knowledge, really. ;)

Security breach! Now that you've said you know who the operatives are, will they get new ones?

I actually miss my time on MC, but I didn't get to stay. I felt removed and forced out, though I guess I could have tried to stand my ground. Not much of a fighter in that regard. It all seems a really long time ago. I'm just glad that when the dust settled, I was "allowed" to stay here.

Back on topic, I'm surprised there hasn't been a slew of pics of the oft-maligned Croc-wearing folks.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm just glad that when the dust settled, I was "allowed" to stay here.
Wait, we had a choice? Damn!

[Not Afraid]

You know, I have some pretty defaming pictures from MC meets.

[alphabassettgrrl]

They care about what we do here???? Hahahahha! Wow.

[Disneyphile]

I feel like taking this new website as a challenge. I totally feel like breaking out the strangest crap in my closet and wearing it on purpose, hoping for a submission. I have Crocs, and I know how to use 'em! ;)

Better yet, I think we should volunteer Kevy and his beauty queen costume to be the end all to the site. They'd never be able to top that! ;)

[Not Afraid]

Don't forget EuroMickey.

[Disneyphile]

How about an unswanky clothing swanking? ;)

[Snowflake]

Three words, Your Bollywood PJ's.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Big smile! BIG SMILE!!!!

[cirquelover]

I'm so confused and can't keep up with the subject changes. Somehow I think I'm better off not knowing what you guys are talking about.


Now back to your scheduled programming:snap:

[Pirate Bill]

Hey that's a new poster - guess I got an extra 15 minutes

I think your 15 minutes will never end...Uncle Creepy (http://failbooking.com/2010/03/08/funny-facebook-uncle-creepy/). ;)

[Disneyphile]

Um, judging by the comments of the album's inner content, I don't think he wants those 15 minutes. :eek:

I'd consider this one a very bad association.

[Not Afraid]

One of the comments: ALSO, if it wasn’t for that phone on the wall, this looks like it was taken in a dorm room at Oberlin. Oberlin alums will know what i’m talking about…
