This is the down side of the rise of the blog; so little editing is allotted to each piece.

Boy, I feel like I am now MIA. I'm trying to be very good and not spend time online at the office (at least for the first 90 days, anyway) But I am sorely missing my LoT friends during the workday

I forget and I'm too lazy to go look it up from last discussion - Do they give you a special shopping pass wristband that detonates in a shower of flourescent dye if you try to go on a ride, or something ? Or do you just get in the park, buy a packet of M&M's and ride everything till closing ?

You get an hour, then they charge your credit card. There is sometimes a requirement to show proof of purchase and/or a minimum purchase amount required.

Just last week I felt compelled to fire off a note to the fine people who run that other chat-about-a-mouse place, taking them to task for, amongst other things, "Ollie Johnson." :rolleyes:

It went a little something like this:

Could you guys get a proofreader? Or an editor? Something?


Quote:
"This week saw a Disney legend, Julie Andrews, visiting the Disneyland Resort for a book signing. We also saw the passing of Ollie Johnson, another Disney legend and the last of Walt's nine old men. There is also a guide for disabled guests visiting Universal Studious Hollywood and the question; What does you ****Chat name mean? Enjoy - ********"


The sum total official mention on the site of Ollie Johnston's death is as an addendum to Julie Andrews' appearance at the Park? And you can't even spell his name right? Universal Studious? And what does this sentence mean? "What does you ****Chat name mean?"

Ollie should have led. Here you go, all fixed.

"This week saw the sad passing of Disney Legend Ollie Johnston, the last surviving member of Walt's "Nine Old Men." We saw another Disney Legend, Julie Andrews, visit Disneyland for a book signing and the dedication of a very special carousel horse. There's a new guide for disabled guests at Universal Studios Hollywood, and we ask the question,"What does your ****chat name mean?"

Needless to say, I haven't received a reply.

Our local Thai food place serves Crab Langoon - no others have it

I am so with you here. Drives me crazy to see this stuff. I once wrote to a publisher to say I could help them with their editing.

It was *bad*.
