Fear worse than the ToT

[mousepod]

Well, tomorrow (Thurs) a.m. I'm going to the oral surgeon to have 2 teeth extracted. I'll be put under general anesthesia for around 80 minutes, after which I'll be sent home with a pocketful of painkillers.

Assuming I can speak by Friday, I'm going to go ahead and do the 3rd MousePod show.

Considering my tiny (and usually very sober) brain may very well be pumped full of opiates, it should be very entertaining for all who listen.

Any topic suggestions?

How about playing the loop from the dentist office on Main Street?

Actually, there are other dentist scenes on Disneyland or Disney in general. Isn't there a dentist office in COP? Maybe that's a barber.

Am I helping? ;)

[Scrooge McSam]

Do you have someone to drive you home from your appointment?

Might be a good idea

[mousepod]

Yeah, I have a ride home. However, if someone wants to watch me stagger out of the medical building on Post Street at about 10:00, you might find it entertaining.

And thanks for the suggestion. I've got the audio for the Main Street dentist all queued up. Don't remember a dentist in the COP, though.

How about a segment on characters who talk funny (such as the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk). That way you're not a victim of the dentist's chair, you're "in character"!

BTW: like the stuff so far!

McSam, I always chuckle at your posts, even when I think they're meant to be serious. At first I wasn't sure why, but to-night the answer came to me.
Often your words (or tone?) will match the look of the daper guy over in the corner photo, dig? I can actually picture that guy in the white shirt, cocking his head slightly, folding his arms and maybe, resting his foot against an old tree stump, and saying -- "Hey babe, do you have someone to drive you home? Might be a good idea. Hint, hint."

Wally Boag used to do a teeth-spitting bit in the Golden Horseshoe Revue, he did the same bit when he guested on the Muppet Show.
"Pink Elephants on Parade" and "Heffalumps and Woozles" are good "under the influence" tunes.
In "Little Shop of Horrors" there's a very funny song called "Dentist," by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. I'll bet you've heard of them. ;)

Terrific ideas all! This is actually holding my terror at bay!

Just the knowledge that I amuse Tref will carry me to my dying day.

Like the pic, eh? I thought the poofy do was required in swanky surrounding such as these. Plus it was the only pic I have showing me trying desperately to be cool, and failing miserably. So like me.

Hah hah! Don't take offense, McSam. I wasn't mocking the photo. I couldn't be half as suave, trust me. I try for sauve and I get Jerry Lewis.

Laaaaaaady!!!!!

Now on the other hand, Gn2lnd's posts have the potential of matching his photo, though he would need to start or end each post with some reference to his corn cob pipe.

Example:

I enjoyed out last Swank meet. Toot, toot!

Or,

(Grinding pipe stem tightly mouth) I disagree with your
words, most intensely, S'ur! TOOT!

And finally,

Your words in regard to that current news event sadden me to the bone. toot, t- ... (Pipes drops from mouth)

Those are just some suggestions ... I happen to believe your sailor man photo is one of the most clever I have ever seen. Bully.

[Gn2Dlnd]

*takes pipe from mouth, jaws remain clenched*
Why thank you, reaaallly I thank you, you must have a seat near me dear boy, what are you drinking - waiter, WAITER, get my new friend here a fresh drink - now, how did you ever get so clever? Reaaallly, I must know.
*reinserts pipe and leans in a bit too close, waiting for an answer*

Hehe.

silly update - got a call at 7:30 am - my oral surgeon is home sick with a peanut allergy - procedure postponed til Feb 8.

[wendybeth]

Saved- by a peanut! Okay, we'll schedule another Oral Surgery support thread for February 7th. Potluck, everyone?;)

[Not Afraid]

I just love the mixture of immediate relief combined with postponing real fear. :rolleyes:

Well, it gives you more time to work on the DIsneyland Dentist theme. ;)

[Gn2Dlnd]

And this weeks can be about peanuts!

Actually, anticipating fear would be a good theme - ToT, Alien Encounter, etc.

[mousepod]

Anticipating fear... that's an amazing idea.
When we went to WDW and rode Mission:Space for the first time... well, there's a story there but I'm going to save it for the MP.

On a related note: since you guys have welcomed me so warmly and helped me out with your brilliant suggestions, I'd love to give the Lounge props on the 'cast.

However, unlike some of the big boards that seem to thrive on thousands of members, this place is cozy and cool, like one of Deb Parker's bars before the tourists find it. What's the vibe on that here? I could keep the thank-you's secret... maybe I could tug on my earlobe during the signoff...

[Gn2Dlnd]

I think using board user names is probably cool, but generically referring to "online boards" instead of specific names of boards. I don't have a problem with "online chat board member, 'gointodisneyland', thinks an entire show about the history of ODV would be swell." :wink: (please don't do that show)
Anyone else got an opinion on webanimity?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I believe our current take on this is that we do not want huge public announcements of the board just yet. We are still working backstage to fix this place up and have changes in the works. So please, don't link to or announce us publicly until we give you the go-ahead.

I really appreciate your enthusiasm and your offer. :) You're the first person to post here that hadn't been a part of our previous posting efforts, so what you say counts for a lot!

I'm not an admin but I'm close, and I'm sure my hipster partners will agree. ;)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Just for the public's edification, discussion on how much exposure we want, and when, has been taken offline with mousepod. The short answer is, we dig mousepod's groove, and in the long run think that he might be just the thing to attract the kind of cat we're looking for (gotta keep the community alive), but not yet. So I think we'll be happy with a "soft" endorsement (i.e., a nod to the site, but not giving out the url) for the time being. In the future, who knows...

[Not Afraid]

Thanks, GD. We have, in fact, discussed said concepts. We're grooving.
