I was reading comments on that video of that little girl "telling off" the Gaston character at Disney World - and saw this:

QuoteI never let my daughters get near anything Disney related because of their affiliation with Nazi Germany.

When my grandmother took my daughter to go see Frozen, I was mad. I let it slide. She later bought her an Elsa dress. I got furious. Later that night, I took my daughter to bed and kiss her good night. Took that Elsa dress, tear it, burned it and trashed it. Next morning, she came up to me crying, "where is my Elsa Dress." I told her the dog probably ate it. She cry for a good 10-20 mins, hoping she would "let it go." She did eventually.

I'm a great father and I have 2 daughters that I would never lay my fingers on and would risk my life to save them. Anything Disney related near my daughters and son is a "NO!"

Sounds like his daughters will definitely have daddy issues.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

My niece really likes it though.  Disney didn't have much affiliation with Nazis.  You want to find companies that were affiliated with the Nazis, you look at Ford or IBM.  They at least actually did business with them.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Need a princess that transforms into a pony. Then transforms into a gun.

It's just a phase.  My niece was all about the Disney princesses, now she wants a robotics kit for Xmas.

Damn, my friend is getting real old, real old we were discussing trips today and the conversation strayed into almost bucket list territory. And it was like he meant it.  :(

It helps to think that way even when you're young. The thing about the bucket list is that most of the stuff on there would be more fun at 30 than 70. Do the bucket list now. That's the lesson.

Agreed though when young, I don't think it makes sense to think of it as a bucket list. After all, they aren't just boxes to check off.

Yes, but it's kinda different for a 66 year old, I guess many of us at that age will only have a few good years left.

By the way, this isn't to say he hasn't done a load of interesting things in his life, but we'll it's kinda depressing; I shall have to think of something.  :hmm:
