May I first say that the Mark Twain is now quite fugly. As is the TomorrowLanding (what kind of name is that, anyway???)

The napkins and many other items were still 50th on Tuesday. I actually like the new color and design..it's very subtle.

Yay, Quizno's on Harbor! My Whitewater scrimping days are over!

OMG, Sleeping Beauty Castle looks naked!!!!

(but will they remove the rest of the bling, or will they be lazy? Those gold railings were the only thing that really bugged me .... watch, they'll leave those for eternity. Ugh, castles are supposed to have that, whatdyacallem, ya know for shooting arrows through? classic castletechture ruined by those stupid railings!)

Some nice photos in there, zapp.

Thanks for the link. As I suspected, though the individual parts have names I didn't know, the general piece of castletechture I am referring to is The Battlements.

And lest anyone doubt their importance to castletechture, I quote from said link.

Ahem, Disney, the distinguishing feature of a castle.

I demand that you restore them at once!

crenellations - I love that word

Alex · 10-06-2006, 06:57 PM

Yes, but these are crenellations in a world that has OSHA. And we all know that anywhere elevated that a person may walk requires guardrails.

So, I blame Bush. But he only did it because Clinton got kinky with a cigar.

When I first saw this, I thought I read "a fighting platform and a defense against the espanade."

DL's castle needs crenellations--how else will they be able to defend against the invading armies of DCA?
