Best tough black guy voice.

Barkins said he was concerned about the health of Mr. Horner after the robbers had left and everyone at the restaurant was waiting for police to arrive. “It seemed like Mr. Horner’s brain had temporarily snapped. I asked him if he was ok and he shouted, ‘Shut the f*ck up, fat man! This ain’t none of your go*drat business’. Then I apologized and told him that I think the cops are on their way to which he responded, ‘I don’t wanna hear about no motherf*ckin’ ifs. All I wanna hear from your rear end is, you ain’t got no problem, Paul. I’m on the motherf*cker. Go back in there, chill them n*ggas out and wait for the cavalry which should be coming directly’. Then he started asking me questions about our food menu. He asked me about our hamburgers and if I knew what they called a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France? It was really weird, but hey, he’s a hero I guess.”

“In every other parallel universe this man would be shot and killed but not here in Jonestown,” Officer Miller from the Jonestown Police Department said. “It’s fortunate that this small town has a person like Mr. Horner living in it. If he hadn’t have had so much free time on his hands he never would have been able to quote so many lines from Pulp Fiction. Down time is the real hero here today.”
The robbers are described as a white male and female aged 35-45. Any information please contact the Jonestown Police Department at (785) 273-0325. As always, you can remain anonymous.

I know (or rather, have on Facebook - we've spoken all of once) an obsessed Peter Pan fan. Terrifying is not the word. She has one of those unlimited Disney Park passes for the park in Florida and for a while at least she was going every single day in life and following around the "Peters" and had this mad obsessive crush on one etc. She took him giftart and poo poo. I still have a hard time believing there are other Peter Pan fans as crazy as her, so somewhere in my mind I sorta imagine all those Tumblrs and image macros to be made by her.

I ran across a completely insane Peter Pan gif set on Tumblr yesterday. STDH.txt, Tumblr.gif, and incredible disquiet, all in one. This must be what it's like being in a Lynch film.

Peter. loving. Pan.

The last one is just insanely embellished, right? There's no way that event happened as described. Do the people who write these have no concept of professional boundaries? Like, at all??

Personally, I would love to hear from people that have worked at Disney about how true / untrue this Peter Pan stuff is. I'd also love to know how much impact these rabid fans have on the parks. Do they ever actually get up from their computers and go to the parks? Do they actually try and engage Peter Pan in a conversation about self-harm?

I do wonder how long it's going to go on and how much the fandom is going to build before the inevitable backlash from other parts of tumblr / imgur. I remember there was photos going around the internet of Disney actors dressed in Toy Story costumes with a caption about how if people walked up to them and said 'Andy is coming' then they were obliged to fall down and play dead like in the movies. When this picture first started being posted people latched onto it and said how cool and wonderful and amazing this was and how they were going to go to Disney right now and try it out. Then, a couple of months later, an amended version started being posted about how the playing dead thing wasn't true and the Disney parks were being overrun with people harassing the Toy Story actors and how it was an OH&S issue and a personal safety risk for the actors to lie down in the costumes so people should stop believing the original image and stop going to Disney and trying to get the Toy Story actors to play dead. This of course was reblogged and upvoted a million times with legions of people chiming in to wag their fingers and bemoan the danger and stress being inflicted on the poor Disney actors who were just trying to do their jobs and didn't deserve all these people yelling at them and trying to get them to do something based on an erroneous image macro they'd seen online.

Now, of course, the same people are doing the same thing to the Peter Pan actors and the cycle repeats

When I was 9 I went to Disney world, my dad got angry at me and yelled at me so I ran off with my mom chasing after me. I ran into someone, that someone was Peter Pan. He helped me up an started talking to me, he asked me why I was sad and when I told him and he said, "Your king may be mean but someday you'll have the crown. If you ever get too sad remember second star to the right, okay?" I still sob thinking about that.

I went to Disney World about a year ago. I was 15 and wearing a tiara. I was also wearing a dress. I met Peter and he held up my arm to look at it. He asked me what the marks (my self harm scars) were, and then noticed I had more on my legs. He looked at my tiara and asked if I was a princess. I told him I wasn't a princess. Peter looked disappointed before saying "There's a story behind those marks. I thought you were a princess because every princess has a story. To me you are a princess."

Yeah I somehow don't believe that a random minimum wage theme park employee gives a poo poo about some random chick who cuts herself and instead awkwardly avoids staring at them.

What world do these people think they live in where some guy will just start mocking a kid at Disney and the parents either don't do anything or aren't around? Why would anyone start making fun of a disabled person who is just sitting there in a wheelchair?

NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED: This
location is awful, does not even deserve
1 star. Please go to any other walmart on
highway 6 besides this one. I was texting
my mom to ask her if she needed
anything. Then a sale associate came
towards me accusing me of taking
photos of the store???? Why would I
need to do that it makes no sense at all.
Anyway I told her im texting my mom
whats the big deal? She said "oh ok" and
walked off. 5mins later I am being
followed by 1 associate and 1 manager. I
am reading a label of an item (cell phone
in pocket). The manager comes to me
stating once again "you cannot take
photos in store". I told her, "Whats your
problem following me around and my
cell phone is in my pocket. She states, " I
am just reminding you". Seriously is this
HIGHSCHOOL or a walmart? No cell
phones allowed at this walmart buyers
beware.....

Maybe it's just me, but I've never heard the term "Self-harm scars" outside of this context, which leads me to believe that all of these fallacies just originate from the mind of one sad and lonely girl that cuts herself. This just makes me depressed

This is staggering. I feel like this takes a fundamental misunderstanding of so many things

I know some people act like anybody who opposes GMO's or supports organic food is some tinfoil-hat wearing weirdo, or that there is no proof that GMOs can be harmful, or that it's all a big dihydrogen monoxide-type scare. . .

Let me share with you my little CSB about why I don't trust GMO's anymore and why my household has gone organic in its food.

My wife used to have one food allergy, just one. She was allergic to nuts, most severely to almonds, but mildly allergic to most kinds of nuts (except peanuts, for some reason, probably because they are technically legumes and not nuts).

Well, two years ago, my wife suddenly went into anaphylactic shock. We rushed her to the hospital, and the ER docs confirmed she had a major allergic reaction. We had no idea to what.

A followup appointment at an allergist showed that she was now severely allergic to corn and soy, and also allergic to a lesser extent to oats, as well as her previously documented nut allergies.

Well, in case you didn't know, eating around a severe corn allergy SUCKS. That means that anything with HFCS is right out (it's not indistinguishable from sugar, her body can sure as heck tell the difference), and between that and corn syrup, corn starch, "modified food starch" (made from corn starch), corn meal, and such that means pretty much all processed food is right out. Also, corn-fed livestock retain enough corn proteins in the flesh to set off her allergies (to a lesser extent), so we have to buy grass fed beef (and basically skip all pork and chicken, since it's next to impossible to find non-corn-fed pork and chicken).

Since HFCS isn't allowed in organic foods, to avoid that in products we started to have to buy organic foods. Then we accidentally bought some organic foods which contained her allergens in them. Oddly enough, she can eat organic oats with no problems, and has a much, much lesser reaction to organic soy and a weaker reaction to organic corn.

There's some difference there, that her body can tell. She eats a kernel of regular corn, she'll have to dive for the epi-pen in a couple of minutes. She puts regular soy sauce on sushi, her tongue breaks out and swells up on contact. If we use organic soy sauce (without GMOs), she can have it with pretty much no problem. She can still eat organic oats without an issue.

We were at a loss for figuring out why this was so, until we found this study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8594427

Apparently Monsanto introduced genes from Brazil nuts into their GMO soybeans, and it's been confirmed that people with nut allergies will be allergic to GMO soy, which in case you didn't know is about 80% of the soybeans harvested in the US. It hasn't been revealed yet, but we strongly suspect from what I've seen that the GMO corn Monsanto produces has some nut-related gene in it, or something that triggers on a nut allergy.

As for the oats, there is no approved GMO oats out there, but as the wheat incident has shown, it's possible that an old project could have slipped into the seed stock, creating a trace contamination, or there could be cross-contamination from some other GMO crop being processed at the same plant.

In 1955, my uncle was a law student at Perdue. Walking home from his job as bartender one night, he several drunks drag a lady kicking and screaming into an alley. He followed them and saw them trying to rape her as she fought back. Not knowing what else to do, he marched into the alley, past the drunks, and placed the woman under citizen's arrest for "failure to yield". He then pulled her from the incredulous drunks and marched her out of the alley and to the local police station. He told the drunks to wait there as they were material witnesses to the woman's "crime", and that cops would be coming to take their statements. They did. They were arrested and prosecuted. My uncle finished law school and went on to become a Federal Judge.
