Oy not even the d...Well deserved mention, Dave. :)<br /><br />Oy not even the deep dark of shade can obscure the horror that is the man's 70s necktie in the Frontierland pic, so much better suited is it the a hazard warning tape at a construction site than anything resembling a suit of clothes. But that, that's nothing: we can just see a glimpse of the horror we're spared thanks to the man in the gray suit nobly sacrificing his dignity to walk with that person draped in a bad tablecloth to and spare us the full sight. But that's not all. There's some horror heading into the Haunted Mansion. Yes the representative of The Ministry of Funny Walks in the badly cut mustard suit with olive green sleeves. But also the lady who's a stereotype of a lady who shops at Goodwill. Two, actually, one looks nicer than the other (in truth there's nothing wrong with Goodwill or shopping there, I just refer to the cultural stereotype).<br /><br />The park though, looks super. That really is an especially convincing iteration of that great grizzly scene and a nice pic of that creepy one, both of which I'd prefer were still there to impart some sense of the deeper, darker side of the Frontier in Frontierland (the 50s, 60s and 70s were good with that yet the supposedly so cynical, dark-violent entertainment-loving people of recent times are too squeamish and uptight!?). <br /><br />Boy, even that dazzling rainbow shopping bag is upstaged laying on that bench in front of Merlin's. Look at that bench. It's square relations are sitting in sober green nearby while it sports a crazy psychedelic job of bubble gum pinks, 'nanna yellows, a little tomato red and sky blues. hehe and you're so right about the Captian Hook's titling. <br /><br />Still, beautiful day at the park in nice times, looks like.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-4135544214818511872010-09-07T11:07:19.183-07:002010-09-07T11:07:19.183-07:00I can still smell the overwhelming smell of tuna f...I can still smell the overwhelming smell of tuna fish every time I see the Chicken of the Sea boat.Momma Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592478320479013130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-43963808700642724742010-09-07T10:53:19.393-07:002010-09-07T10:53:19.393-07:00@Thufer:I'm glad I'm not the only one that...@Thufer:I'm glad I'm not the only one that misses the Pendelton store.
