You people don't know the definition of pain. Listen to the mudkips for about ten minutes. If you aren't batcrap insane by the end then you have no brain or soul. Here, I'll even link you to it:

It's a Small World's got NOTHING on that.

18 seconds. :wacko: You're right. I made it over a minute on "small world". I guess the video on "small world" doesn't do the ride justice, because based on it, you couldn't pay me to go through that.

Okay... got through the first two with only minor problems...

Now I'm about five minutes through the Mudkips. My eyes are twitching a bit and I felt a sudden throbbing pain in my shoulder at one point. D'you think that has anything to do with it?

Wish me luck.

These are nothing. When I worked children (ages 4-7) in a residential, one Christmas Eve there was a 24 hour Teletubby marathon. That was a true test of inner strength B)

At least it wasn't the kids themselves making the repetitive noise. I once had to babysit a demon child who screamed "This is Ozzy and this is Drix!" on a loop for about two and a half hours straight.

Hats off to you, though. 24 hours of Teletubbies sounds brutal. The government could use that to get info out of people, seriously.

WOW THAT SONG USED to be my favorite song.

WHEN I WAS SIX!!!!

But I am feeling rather hyper right now, so I even sang along.........

You;re lucky you weren't there.

Oh my god.....MUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kipMUD- kip

**falls over DEAD**

I made it for the ten minutes, but I lost a lot of brain cells in the process.

So I live close enough to Disney that I have ridden that small world ride more times than I would like to remember. Why does everyone I take there HAVE to ride that ride?! Well here is my horror story.... I have been stuck on that ride.... twice! It broke down one time right as you are coming into that last room where all the kids are holding hands... I was right next to the finnish girl... for 3 hours.... suffice to say your video cannot harm me for I have seen the gates of hell and have survived the 9th circle! :ph34r: come on... no other Dante fans here?

The lamb chop song is great! I loved that show as a kid! Its I'll still randomly break into that song, and some of us have even done it as a form of protest in a meeting once. Watching upper management sing that song on a telecom until the "other" party finally caved and hung up was fantastic! Yeah, we're really professional! :P

The pokemon thing... that one got me. I even played that game when I was younger, and it was only mildly annoying... but now... ugh!

Thanks Sally, you always seem to put a smile on my face. I got through both songs all the way, and I'll probably have them stuck in my head for weeks, but it was fun. By the way guess what I'll be singing you if we ever meet. :D

Thanks for the laugh

I have to admit that the ride was nice, the 'children of all nations' are cute and everyone and everything is smiling but I just can't take one song for the whole ride and the line outside and down the sidewalk - bit I liked the peaceful little boat ride.

April the next time you go to Disneyland, ride the Small World and enjoy it, just knowing that you like it takes the sting out of the repetition.

I probably would have enjoyed t more if I hadn't been hearing the song for well over 45 minutes before getting on.

Love ya,

Sally

The first one reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3TKt0Q1-5Y :lol:

i was once on a roadtrip with my dad's family, and my cousin who is the most annoying family member i have, played "i love rock and roll". she sang along, and put it on repeat. her voice is terrible, and i'm a musician, so bad singing hurts more. she did not stop playing that !@#$^&* song for at least 3 hours!!! :angry::angry::angry:

so this, i could handle :D

oh, and i, on the same trip, had to wait on her to finish this same ride. she didnt get tired of it for 20 minutes. oh, and they play it outside too <_< not fun.

so sally, you are gonna have to try harder than this :lol:

This song was mentioned by my soon to be former friend Lizzy (just joking but she did plant this song in my mind after nearly ten years without having heard it) in a topic about what's stuck in your head right now.

The song is the much feared Disney song, "It's a Small World" - which was banned for questioning in Gitmo for the more humane water boarding means of breaking terrorists.

Now for a way to test your resolve - you know whats ahead but how far can you go.

This is for you Lizzy - nearly 10 minutes of it!

And a bonus annoying song with the perfect name! (only about a minute and a half of this one)

Let's see if you are made of the right stuff.

Love ya,

Sally

I'll watch them later.

Sally............

You Evil, Evil woman! :angry:

You'll pay dearly for this!!!!!

How about

I've been through the one at Disneyworld, maybe three times (did they close it for awhile because it was getting just a little too anachronistic?) and I actually didn't mind it any of the times. I guess because I was with my children at different ages and I was able to enjoy it a litte through their eyes.

Now Shari Lewis...that's another matter. I just never could get into her and (growing up in Chicago), I was into Kukla, Fran and Ollie, Here's Geraldine, Garfield Goose, Elmer the Elephant. even BJ and Dirty Dragon. I could watch her and Lambchop, but only in small doses. Since I appreciated Fran Allison, I don't think it was a gender thing cuz I also watched Ding Dong School with Miss Frances and Romper Room and did not care at all for Captain Kangaroo.

Not as annoying, but since I've already established my low threshold for this kind of thing.... your opinion on that gummy bear song?

I showed it to my friend, she was all "aww how cute...". I was all <_< lol. I can't listen to things like that because they get stuck in my head all day, feel like numbing my skull so I won't have to hear it ever again. I think it's some weird form of OCD :/

hmm well, the girl who linked it to me thought it was annoying. but that's because she was studying abroad in Austria and she said it was all the rage in Germany, that she misses America because there's better music here and that's all they listened to when she went to Germany :lol:

      Welcome to the party, M.A.     Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!

      Things hit the fan today. I was reminded that "this is not a gender fluid establishment."   I had changed my preferred name and gender at the hospital on their app. My x-ray report came in with my preferred name and gender. It was not appreciated by the centre. 😬

      I did get a sorry from the mechanic, saying it was all on him. The boss just said I just went by what I was shown. I didn't look at the paper work. I thought maybe you should before jumping down someones throat.   I am still in the market. Just waiting to find the right one.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Thanks for your thoughtful reply @RaineOnYourParade.  I totally understand and agree with what you said.  I'm in no way proposing a law to decrease population.  It must be done on the demand side.  My role in this is simply to be highly visible and inspiring on many different levels and cultures from around the world.   We tend to focus on changing laws and that is addressing things on the supply side.  If we make a law to tax a type of business to try to steer the economy, we are changing the supply side.  People don't think of politics as a demand side thing, but our leaders should be inspiring us to change our behaviors.  Like the motto I was taught in the Navy "lead by example".  Although I could have tried to do this all with my music, I was not going to be successful with that.  It's reasonable to try to have a career as a highly visible politician to lead like this.   I never had any children that I know about.  I've had a pretty fabulous life.  Lots of ups and downs.  Lots of adventures.  Because I wasn't watching TV and I wasn't having children, I had to fill my time with something.  Although I am super ambitious with this political thing, all I really want to do is cook a nice curry dinner and have an intimate evening playing music for/with a partner and/or a friend or two.  And of course I enjoy cleaning the house and doing some writing, math and things.  I try to give back to society, but I'm not one of these people who just wants to serve.   It's very encouraging what the younger generation is doing in my opinion.  It's rough around the edges and I feel we could be more intentional about things.  Since population is declining, and I'm suggesting it to decline even more, we'll have this problem of there not being enough young people to take care of the old people.  I'm very strong on protecting our younger generation from having to babysit old people.  There simply aren't enough of them to do it like it is being done now.  I think this population reduction stuff is so important and this younger generation is just inheriting all these realities that I want to totally get them out of the business of taking care of older people.  The idea is to get medications mailed to them.  Make doctor visits very short and sweet.  Get old people staffing old folks homes.  I think we have a huge problem with mental health treatment in this country.  I think our economic realities from greater automation and income disparity have lead too many people to fall into despair.  We have to do something with our time and if we get rid of jobs with automation, and we stop making making housing (a decreasing population doesn't need more housing), then we still have to do something with our time.  I was successful at fighting addiction with relatively low carbon emitting work.  I make apps on the computer and record music in my living room.  I don't own a car.  I've been working part time from home for 12 years.  I actually work an excessive amount to do politics like this, but I have had periods of downtime.     Totally!  I think that humanity is just going to go in reverse here and these rural areas are going to be popular with younger people.  Set them up with some wind turbines.  Adjust to not having power 24/7.  Plenty of space to grow food.  Keep up the roads well enough to truck in some grains and other supplies.  As long as climate change doesn't cause some kind of environmental or insect problem, I think these rural places are going to be great.  I think we'll have to pick and choose which ones to continue supporting and which ones to abandon.  There are always details to work out.   I think in a world that is aging with declining population, people who are more unhealthy are going to be moving towards the cities and people who are healthier and middle age will move to the suburbs.  The suburbs are OK places as long as you are strong enough to get around by bicycle.  As someone who is 53 and physically fit, I groove on the idea of those big houses in the suburbs becoming house parties.  Perhaps I'm just dreaming though! LOL!   @awkward-yet-sweet is making some interesting points here.  My first wife did concrete work on the freeways in Chicago.  They do that up there because the extreme cold cracks the asphalt.  Those freeways are annoying with all the bumping between joints, but the roads last a long time.  But it takes a lot of industrial heat to make concrete.  Yes, humanity got along without the paved roads before and we can do it again.  We all inherited this world the way it is.  Sure, us older people contributed to it as well, but this whole industrialization/globalization thing has been going on a long time.  Perhaps we will avoid the horse and buggy thing and do a lot of mountain biking?

      Hi, I'm . . . . let's go with initials for now. M.A. works. I've been out as genderfluid for about a year but finding I have more questions about my identity now than I did this time last year. I'm AFAB, in my mid forties, widowed parent with three teens (god help me!).   I have a new therapist as of two weeks ago, a decision I made with the help of my previous therapist and my new one specializes in LGBTQ+ needs so very well equipped to deal with my hot mess. We started screening for gender dysphoria this week and my response to almost every question she asked was "wait, that's not normal?" I don't live in a particularly sheltered bubble but somehow I seem to be much better at recognizing when my friends are struggling, than when I'm struggling myself.   I'm a freelance writer and graphic designer, and in my "free time" (lol, TWO of my offspring are theatre/band/choir kids, and the third is an aspiring screenwriter, y'all can imagine the sheer chaos easily) I write plays/musicals, and poetry.

      I've been seeing my new treating doctor for quite some time now, whenever I'm advised to make an appointment. When it comes to seeing a new treating doctor, hard part is starting all over again building trust between patient and doctor. On my first day seeing my new treating doctor, before I could say anything else to her, she explained to me I needed to be completely honest with her. I kind of expected that type of patient profiling response from her, since she doesn't specialize in intersex care. Anyway, I sat down in the chair as I explained to my new doctor, I don't have all of my hospital records, certain records from my childhood and teenager years are mysteriously missing regarding a surgery. After my examination was over, she disregarded or showed no interest in searching for my missing medical records, but instead she blamed me for how I take care of my health today.

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie
