Jack Skellington's Younger Years

Jack Skellington was not always so confident. Long before his starring role in Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas he was a shy, quite kind of a Pumpkin. This shot was taken just before the Pumpkin King picked up Sally for their first date at the annual Halloween Dance at the Shady Hallows Bridge High School.

A Jack O'Lantern And Three Hitchhiking Ghosts

I found this really cool pumpkin at Disneyland. It was carved out to say Happy Halloween. Of course, being me, I wanted it. So, I stuck it up my shirt, yelled Look Out, pregnant women with a moustache coming through and made a run for it. I got no farther than 10 feet when the Disney Police showed up. They yelled Stop Miss! Mad that they didn't buy the pregnant part but had no problems believing the "Miss" part, I ran!

With the Disney Police hot on my trail and the pumpkin in my shirt bouncing around like a paddle ball, I ducked into the Haunted Mansion.

Now I have good news and bad news and good news and bad news.

Good news, I lost the Disney Police

Bad news, I seemed to have picked up Three Hitchhiking Ghosts in my pumpkin from the Haunted Mansion.

Good news, I finally got rid of the Three Hitchhiking Ghosts by posting this photo on Flickr

Bad news, you just picked up Three Hitchhiking Ghosts from looking at this photo

PS. They Ecoplasm all over the place so be prepared to do a lot of cleaning.

Indians And Smores

As we travelled down the mighty Mississippi river my stomache growled from lack of food. It had been three days since we ate last. I could feel the mood become restless on the ship as we drifted down stream seemingly on a track going in circles. We took turns scouting the banks for food. One day as I was taking my turn as look out, I spotted some Native Americans on the shores of the flowing river cooking on an open pit. The smoke drifted across the water and met the ship. I inhaled deeply and started salivating instantly. Smores, I yelled! They got Smores! All the passengers ran to the side of the mighty steam ship, salivating. With everyone one on side of the ship salivating, the river rose and the boat tipped and into the dirty duck poop filled river we all went! Amazing how not hungry we all were after that. The indians just smiled and took out their Polaroid cameras and snapped shots of us flailing around.

Bug Catchers

Bug Catchers by hbmike2000

In an effort to go "green", Disneyland has stopped using pesticides. Instead, they employee people to ride on their attractions with their mouths open thus scooping up large amounts of bugs. When the ride is done, they get off, spit the bugs out and an official disney cast member counts the bugs and pays them (not the bugs, the bug catchers).

Never Give Batman Your Camera

Batman gave me a call the other morning and asked me if I wanted to go to Disneyland. I said sure. We got there and had blast. As we were going through the Submarine line, I tossed my camera at him and yelled, Hey Batman, Take my picture. He turned, saw an object flying at him, yelled POW, ZAP, stuck his foot on my chest and kicked me over the rail into the lagoon. He then snatched my camera out of the air, focused and took this shot. He still can't take a straight shot after all these years.

He then proceeded to pull me out of the Lagoon and helped me hang up my clothes on some wires going across Main Street USA. Everything was fine till the Disney Police showed up and asked if that was my underwear flying half mast above the Guests head. I said no, they said why are you naked, I said I am the Emperor and have new clothes, they said wrong park and threw me out. Thanks Batman.

Johnny Depp's Eye On The Set Of Pirates of the Caribbean Part 89

Production on Pirates of the Caribbean part 89 was shut down today due to an outburst from Johnny Depp's eyeball. It seems his eye is upset about the costume it has to wear. The eye, infamous for being demanding, says the eye patch makes its butt look to big on camera.
