>> I wonder what/who else is buried on the ranch ... and I thought his ranch was in Midland? <<

Nope, it's in Crawford outside of Waco.

<<We'll start the bidding at 25 Mickey Dollars.>>

>> How about some old DCA postcards and a 1996 EPCOT guidemap? <<

I've already got the '96. Make it a '95, and you've got a deal.

>> I do too. And he knows it. He just had enough and opted to leave. I feel that way about another site I post on often, but I hear some dude has my back there. He's da bomb! :-) <<

Man it's tough over there. I've got some little 13 year old boy calling me names, and trying to strut his stuff. I've got some little GI Joe that thinks I'm going to be impressed because he saids he's a Marine, calling me a pansy. I noticed today some moron was speculating on your masculinity. All of this is your fault too! What a controversial topic you started. How dare you ask what's coming to WDW in 2010.

It's also really kind of funny how Erika moderates your post, but allows all those little children over there to name call at will.

I didn't start it back up again today with the children because it's turned into an interesting thread. I want to see where it leads.

I'm confused.. didn't someone just yell at me here for talking about the kids over there? Saying it was childish and low brow or something..

Were's that person? I demand equal berating for all.

<<74, you already started this same pointless, idiotic argument at WDWMagic.

Button your lip and get a life, you ever-lasting pessimist!>>

Hey Phil, do you ever post here when you aren't taking a shot at me? <<


After a few really hard swings from this guy ... I thought .. maybe he's Australian! ;)

Australians have one very wicked sense of humor. As I'm learning with life experience ........ Or Maybe DisPhillips is "dis"sing ... for not-so-good reasons??

One of the two!

Anyway :) ..........
>>Let's start a new week and a new month with a fun game.

It's called 'is anything new coming to WDW in 2010?' Anything at all?

(is that the sound of pins dropping?)
<<

Oh, oh, ohhh .. can take a guess????

New Pin Trading Location!!

Oh, geez, oh geez ... maybe new paint??? :O) ... oh, oh, oh ... maybe a 1 day rehab on Space Mountain that makes the wheels underneath squeak less????? :O)

IS IT TRUE??? IS IT TRUE!?????

OH .. AND STAR TOURS 2.0 IS JUST SO WONDERFUL .. IT'S BETTER THAN A NEW ATTRACTION FROM SCRATCH .... EVEN JUST AS EXCITING AS WESTERN RIVER EXPEDITION!!!!

Give me a frikin' break!

The Disney Co. is becoming "shrewder" with each passing year. If they can get away without putting attention into the parks, they will.

I'm seeing it with my own eyes.

And I just laugh at every single post .. on any subject .. when any poster tries to second guess Disney's finances. Playing Accounteneers .. like poor little Disney (the "mom and pop" operation can't afford to offer new attractions).

Yet .. in a tough economic climate this country is facing ....... they buy Marvel for how much???

I don't even need to post the amount, you all know!

OH ... what about ABC? Fox Family Network? go.com?

You know .. this company AINT poor.

If it's not priority .. forget it.

That's all it comes down to!

Priority!

>> I'm confused.. didn't someone just yell at me here for talking about the kids over there? Saying it was childish and low brow or something.. <<

For one thing I never yelled at you. I chastised you after you condemned a whole web site. You questioned the character of it's owner, and the crediaility of some of the insiders at wdwmagic. Really good people even if you disagree with them. I'm talking about a couple of immature little children running wild over there. The only distressing thing is when a moron, and yes I do mean moron, injects homophobic tactics into the equation. That really has no business anywhere, much less on a disney site. All the name calling over there has come from them, not me.

Wdwmagic is still a great site, with mostly great people. That's the same thing I've been saying all along.

Now mousermerf can you honestly say you don't see any difference in what I posted, compared to what you posted.

>> Were's that person? I demand equal berating for all. <<

I'm right here as always. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Berate all you want. I'm a big boy, I can take it.

I don't even know what argument you're having over there, but it does reek of pot/kettle/black. Just because have issues with different people doesn't suddenly make talking disparagingly about them any different.

Steve banned me for calling him spineless. Has anyone ever wondered why I called him spineless? Or put two and two together?

Maybe it's because at the same time his website started going to photo updates on the main page, his changing the vb code to hide images from unregistered users, and numerous other things to guarantee the advertising and paid aspects of his site - which was in direct competition with what I was providing for free and for all to see, despite the fact that I was bringing in hits to the forums. So much so that the UG offered me a position doing the same thing for their site to increase traffic numbers and which I previously did for Mouseplanet which is now a gohsttown since I left.

So there's a lot more to all of those arguments then you've seen on the surface.

And I'm pretty sure I can guess who's saying they're a marine - I got the same crap flung at me when was there. Mods did nothing about it then, they'll likely do nothing about it now.

There may be good people on that site, but they're mislead about the sources of information, who's getting paid to provide what (and with what slant), and there is absolutely not "full disclosure" of who is working for whom.

<<Agreed. When did WDW become all about brats? Hell, when I was a kid it sure wasn't.>>>

IMHO, WDW is for the kid in all of us, I always revert to being 12 when I'm there.

<<I'd like to think I can more than cover for him in the 'tude dept!

If not, lemme know ... I'll try harder.>>>

Please don't!!! TDLfan had some great pictures, and his reviews of anything new at the park was fair and very informative. But when his feathers got ruffled, he lost me.

And I like and respect the current Spirit much better than the one of a couple years ago. But maybe I'm the one who's changed and not Spirit.

>>>>>
exactly. That is why when EE and some of the folks at that other site start talking about all this new stuff to be announced I get very skeptical. Anyone with any business sense can tell you that based on Disney's actions there not going to be adding anything aside from whats announced. <<<<

Yet we have Shanghai, and the expansions, and DL. *shrug*

I'm skeptical, too...but I'm just going off what I was told. :-)<<

Shang and Cali are totally different stories. The reason there so interested in building the shanghaig park (more focused on that then anything else at WDI infact) is because tehy want to quickly get in there and cash in on that up and coming middle class in China.

At California there spending boatloads of money mainly because they have to otherwise DCA keeps underperforming and continues to hurt the bottomline. Plus it helps when you got pixar folks and imagineers constantly visiting Anahiem to check up on the place.

I was mainly talking about WDW

It's not an argument per say. It's just some people trying to disrail Spirits thread as always.

I really don't get the pot calling the kettle black argument, but I do notice people use that phrase for lack of anything else to say. I used the word immature about a person. You use the word spineless. You really don't see a difference?

>> Maybe it's because at the same time his website started going to photo updates on the main page, his changing the vb code to hide images from unregistered users, and numerous other things to guarantee the advertising and paid aspects of his site - which was in direct competition with what I was providing for free and for all to see, despite the fact that I was bringing in hits to the forums. So much so that the UG offered me a position doing the same thing for their site to increase traffic numbers and which I previously did for Mouseplanet which is now a gohsttown since I left. <<

I'm confused now. I still see pictorial updates from other people over there all the time. Also I wouldn't call Mouseplanet a ghost town without you presence. Like LP it is more about Disneyland, with a smaller following for WDW. The only thing that really matters is the quality of the people posting. That's why I think LP is a great site.

If someone you a position to do what you had been doing for free, why are you so bitter. I just don't understand that.

>> And I'm pretty sure I can guess who's saying they're a marine - I got the same crap flung at me when was there. Mods did nothing about it then, they'll likely do nothing about it now. <<

No, it's a new young boy posting on the site. I always love it when some kid likes to say something he thinks will impress people. They don't even realize how pathtic their efforts come across to others. I'm not concerned about the mods taking care of anything. I'm all grown up (well for the most part anyway), and can manage to take care of myself. I just don't want them closing discussions just because some people feel the need to silence what Spirit might have to say.

>> Steve banned me for calling him spineless. Has anyone ever wondered why I called him spineless? Or put two and two together? <<

I don't really wonder why. I just know it was inappropriate. You could have sent a PM with the same message. However, you chose to grandstand it.

You really did come off in a bad light to most people in that forum. It was really a shame, because as I said before, I always looked forward to your updates, and pictures.
