Your One Stop Shop For Bad Grammer!
Is anyone out there as big a Disney freak as I am? And I mean, I’m a pretty big Disney freak here. For example. If you were to see me walking around at work with a gigantic stack of movies and I were to say, “I think I’m about to pull a Gus-Gus here,” what would I be talking about? * ** *** **** If you answered the scene in Cinderella where the cute little animated mouse has all the corn kernels stacked under his chin and they all spray out comedically while he’s running from the bad cat you understand the level that I’m talking about. If you have no clue what I am rambling about you need to stop reading this blog right now (NOW!) and hie thee to thy nearest Blockbuster and rent out their entire family section. Tell ‘em Anne sent you. See, I’m getting kinda sick of no one getting my Disney references. Whenever I use that line at work (which I think is very clever, thank you very much) and all I see from my coworkers is blank stares I start to wonder WERE YOU RAISED BY WOLVES!? How is it possible to be that ignorant of Disney films? Right, I know I’m an extreme case. I realize that not everyone has in their dorm room an entire box of Disney tapes brought both to watch and to protect against them being thrown away by parents who seem to think that, since their children are 20 and 16, there is no one in the house who watches Disney movies. But still... So I’m out to educate. Out to remind you of the wonder that is a Disney move. Most of them are only 1hr 1/2, people, it’s not too much to ask to recapture your childhood. This is my mission: *When someone says “calm yourself” and I automatically tack “Iago” on the end of it, I want no weird looks, only giggles of hilarity. *I do not want to be the only one who knows all the words to the muzak at Disneyland next time we go. Better start boning up on your lyrics people. *If I say, “I wonder...” in a sing song tone you had damn well better be ready to break out into song with me. *If (and when I say “if” I mean “when”) I talk about the crush that I developed on the hero in Mulan (Yes I know he is animated. So what?) you should be able to reciprocate with your own Disney crushes. Animals are acceptable. *Early Disney vs. Childhood Disney vs. Current Disney should be considered an appropriate topic for any discussion setting. Hey , I’m not unreasonable. I don’t expect everyone to know the name of the little girl mouse in The Great Mouse Detective (Olivia Faversham) or which movie the Splash Mountain ride comes from (Song of the South). I do however expect Disney familiarity. When I am done, everyone will be able to sing and appreciate the songs of the Little Mermaid. I will be able to have an intelligent discussion on the importance of digital remastering and the evilness of moratorium status with any schmo off the street. I will make it happen. I can. My italics say so. So next time you see me remember, I am a woman with a mission. Your best bet is probably to run in the other direction. 10:42 a.m. May 26, 2004
