What not to do at Disneyland...courtesy of MBC - Page 5

Yeah Erica had her AP turned in to lost and found we figured it was a lost cause. but they had it in two shakes of a lambs tail... A little easier than a key though as it has her name and picture on it...

Glad it worked out in the end MBC......

Felt your pain whilst reading it...

I now keep a copy of my key in my wallet.

Hope that some good mojo going your way cosmically balances your chi brother

And ML hmmm perhaps you should try the lunch-box that "Jerry Fletcher" Mel Gibsons character in Conspiracy theory might have. Double pad locked and airtight seal oh and a combo lock on the break-room fridge (well ok not that last part) but a high security container why not it will certainly get the point across heh.

I need some more practice in welding, if you want to get the materials perhaps i'll make you such a beast.

Someone stole my lunch at DL once. It was back when Mazie's Picnic Basket was still open at the DLH, I'd gotten this killer sandwich there (yes, I paid Disney prices, minus CM discount), and put it in the fridge in our break room. Someone ate half of it! I was so grossed out I couldn't bring myself to eat the other half because I couldn't help thinking that they'd probably touched it.

Ex-Lax the brownies.

The dye idea was cool too, but you'd have to get a dry, powdered dye, that way they couldn't see it till they tried to "wash" their hands, hahaha...

Wow. I'm tired after just reading that.

Ken and I braved the NAMM crowd to get some dinner near the resort on Friday, and it was absolutely nuts! I couldn't imagine doing DL with that crowd around.

Can you believe that stuff? At the last law firm I worked at, this happened all the time. The secretaries would bring in their lunches and by lunchtime, someone else had stolen it. Horrible.

Then, it was found out that one of the many culprits was caught red-handed -- it was one of the SENIOR PARTNERS!! I guess he felt he was entitled to it since he owned a piece of the place. And this was someone who made a huge salary, yet stole secretaries' lunches.

The lunch-stealing didn't end there, but the amount did lessen a bit. hehehe

Thankfully, it doesn't happen hardly at all where I work now. Of course, I bring my lunch in an insulated lunch bag that I keep at my desk for safekeeping....

Actually, it wasn't bad at all inside the park on Friday, although I'm sure DTD was pretty bad. Saturday at the park was MUCH busier.

So, how was NAMM anyway? I've been wanting to check it out for years, but I'm almost afraid of seeing the latest technology that would make my keyboards look like toy Casios.

ML - WTF??? What is with a person that would totally steal someone else's lunch?? I'd take Merry Prankster's advice.

Is that how you spell tuchas? I tried and tried to find a correct spelling last week, to no avail. Bless you.

MBC, you are a one-man advertisement for me to make several copies of my car key. For some reason this morning (probably because I'd had my ass chauffered around all weekend) I suddenly had the fear of god strike my heart that I'd lost my only car key, which broke off my chain and has been lying loose just waiting for me to accidentally drop it. I think I'll go make a copy tonight.

ALWAYS have more than one copy of your car key! I was glad I did, and more glad that I basically forced CP to carry it on her, when the valet at the Standard lost my keys.

innerSpaceman · 01-24-2005, 10:42 PM

Yep, extra car keys is a lesson I've learned many a time. I got pretty good at opening a car door with a wire hanger, in the days before auto-locks. Now that I've got keyless entry, I can just keep a spare key hidden in the car that I will always have access to. Mischief managed.

I never had an ordeal quite like MBC's, but I did once have a harrowing lock-your-keys-in-the-car incident that changed my habits forever. After a 12-hour day working at the Renaissance Faire in Agoura, I had to trudge about a quarter mile to my car only to realize, as I approached it, that I had locked the keys inside. This was years before keyless entry, so there was no way to get into my car without a trusty wire hanger, which was now a quarter mile away.

But, um, why is my car shaking? uh-oh. It's because the key's in the car, in the ignition, and the car is ON.
