...would have been embarrassed if your friends found out.

My sisters had a copy of Strawberry Shortcake in Big Apple City. They'd want to watch it and I'd say, "Oh, do we have to?" but inside I'd be saying "Goody goody butter balls!"

I particularly liked the Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak! He was always over the top.

What's something you loved as a kid but would have been embarrassed if your friends found out?

Does Googie count? It's generally believed to have originated in the 30s with Streamline Moderne.

There have been a bunch of deaths at Disneyland.

The People Mover was one of the most dangerous rides, despite having a top speed of 7 miles per hour. Two people were killed in separate incidents when they tried to climb between cars, fell out, and were run over by a following train. Another person was paralyzed when she climbed out to retrieve a lost hat, got left behind, tried to exit through a service door, and fell from a stairway.

Two people have drowned in the Rivers of America. One teenager snuck in booze during Grad Night, got drunk, stole a rubber boat, capsized it, and drowned. Another teen and his younger brother hid on Tom Sawyer Island until after it closed, realized they were trapped, and tried to swim across. The younger boy couldn't swim so his older brother tried to carry him across on his back, and drowned half way across. The younger brother was able to stay afloat by dog paddling until he was rescued.

Another person was killed when a metal cleat on the hull of the Columbia tore loose, striking a guest in the head. The normal inelastic hemp tie line had been replaced by a cheaper nylon rope which could stretch. The ship approached the dock too quickly and and an employee slipped the rope onto the cleat to brake the ship, something it was not designed for. The rope stretched under the load, ripping the cleat free of the wooden hull and launching into the crowd at high speed.

A 23 year old woman suffered a fatal cerebral aneurysm after riding the Indiana Jones Adventure.

A woman was decapitated on the Matterhorn. She was not properly buckled in and was thrown from the bobsled then struck by the following car. Another boy stood up during the ride and fell out; he died several days later.

A woman became ill after riding Space Mountain. At the unload area, she was unable to exit the vehicle. The cast members told her to remain seated while they removed the vehicle from the track, but she was accidentally sent through the ride a second time. She was taken to the hospital in a coma and died a week later.

One person was killed by the Monorail when they tried to sneak into the park by climbing onto the beamway. The Monorail came around a blind corner and splat.

A cast member was crushed to death by the America Sings ride, caught between a stationary platform and a revolving wall.

One person was killed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and ten others were injured when the train derailed. The locomotive fell on top of the first car, crushing it.

Three people have committed suicide by jumping off the Disneyland Hotel.

Two people were murdered in the old parking lot, one stabbed and another shot. There have been at least two and possibly three suicides at the new Mickey & Friends parking structures.

Because I've been having to get up at 3 am the past couple days and because the weather has been insanely hot and humid in the afternoon, I've been out walking up and down the road in the dark. At least the moon is still waning gibbous.

I saw the Rankin & Bass version of the Return of the King when it originally came out. I was about 7 years old and I recall seeing it with my grandparents. I had really cool grandparents.

I was totally blown away. It was a cartoon, but it was about elves and dwarves and orcs and wizards and magic rings, and it was totally unlike any other cartoon I'd ever seen.

In the cartoon French Rarebit, the French chef Francois is trying to cook Bugs Bunny, who says, "Of course, if you really want to make something good, nothing beats a good old Louisiana Back-bay Bayou Bunny Bordelaise, a la Antoine."


Francois replies, "A la Antoine? You mean ZE Antoine of New Orleans?"


"I don't mean Antoine of Flatbush!"

I always thought this was just a joke, a Louisiana French sounding name that somebody picked at random for the cartoon. Then recently I was looking through A Treasury of Great Recipes by Vincent Price when this cartoon came on, and low and behold, there's a chapter on Antoine's of New Orleans!



Don't see any rabbit on the menu, though. Dig those crazy prices! You can't even buy a Big Mac these days for the price of a faison sous cloche (pheasant under glass).

Have you ever seen something in a cartoon or other kids program that you thought was a gag but then you later found out that it was a real thing?

(Originally they wanted reduce the amount of violence in the cartoon so they were going to have Bilbo spare the spiders. This song was recorded for that scene, which was eventually rewritten to be closer to the original story and the song was cut. It was only released on the record album.)

what are these cursed videos from

The Rankin & Bass animated version of The Return of the King from 1980.

This scene is actually closer to the original than Peter Jackson's version.

You can change the voice by saying "Alexa, change your voice", and the wake word by saying "Alexa, change your wake word." You'll have to do both if you want a male voice that responds to "Ziggy".

I think Alexa has the better singing voice. ("Alexa, sing a pirate song.")

Amazon has introduced a new male voice named Ziggy for their Echo smart speakers, joining the female voice Alexa.

Even taking into account time zones, that's only 2 hours 10 minutes from near Tampa, Florida, to Kansas City, Missouri, 30 minutes faster than any commercial flight.

Most credit unions are owned by their members and are non-profit or not-for-profit, so they can charge lower interest and fees on loans & credit cards and pay better interest on savings accounts and CDs.

I know the figures that I get in Samsung Health are pretty accurate. When I got my first smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, the step figures were very close to those measured by my 3DS, less than 5 steps difference on a 1/2 mile walk. And the area I live in is laid out on a standard PLSS grid with roads every one mile, which is what the watch comes up with when I go for a long walk.
