Serperoth posted:I googled it, and it's even sadder than that. Cosplay is not allowed in Disney parks apparently, so Disneybounding is going to the parks wearing outfits ~inspired~ by a character. Is there an age restriction on this? I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of little girls dressed up as princesses at Disneyland before. I have a hard time imagining the conversation at the door turning away some six year old who came all the way from Ohio with her favorite Cinderella dress.

Sounded like STDH to me so I googled quote:Fifteen-year-old April Spielman worked and saved for over a year in order to afford tickets herself to Disney World. She also put a lot of dedication into creating her own rather realistic Tinker Bell costume. The plan was for her and her boyfriend to go to Disney World on their own money dressed as Tinker Bell and Peter Pan. http://www.families.com/blog/girl-removed-from-disney-world-for-dressing-as-tinker-bell Dunno how reputable "Families.com" is, (Sounds like more STDH) but over 10 does sound like the cutoff point.

From the Disneyland Theme Parks FAQ quote:Ensuring that the parks are family friendly is an important part of the Disney experience. In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense. Attire that is not appropriate for the theme parks (and which may result in refusal of admittance or ejection) includes but is not limited to: Seems like it's a real policy, and it specifically refers to "adult" costumes and clothing. Still think the story sounds like stdh though.

They don't need the lawsuit that would engender. Also, the Disney employee code of conduct is Byzantine and extremely specific. A person in a really good costume doing something against the code could lead to customer complaints and even stupid-people-who-are-assholes lawsuits. Like if your kid saw Peter Pan smoking a cigarette and he is TOTES SCARRED 4 LYFE.

You can make some pretty killer mac and cheese with the cheese ends from delis.

When I need a smoked salmon fix, I will often buy lox trimmings from a nearby store. It's the bits they cut off the lox to make them that pretty triangular shape. Same taste as the main pieces, just smaller.

I want to try this next time I go to the store, but given that the last time I asked the butcher for a pound of ground lamb and he disappeared in the back for a couple of minutes, then proudly handed me a package I didn't notice until checkout was ground beef, I'm not so confident I'll get the same savory smoked bagel add-on you did.

For the past 3 years(off and on) I've been trying to get into college. Every time I would try the would reject me because of "transcript issues" but they wouldn't elaborate any further. I eventually got a university to tell what was wrong with my transcript.. My pain in the rear end high school had been sending the wrong one. They had been sending the transcript for a girl who dropped out. We have different names,birthdays and were in different grades. I get to start this July Since no one is paying attention: the school would not send me or any other student official transcripts, yes that is illegal but the school didn't care.

At least once you get past all the "OMG you can totes sue for gross negligence and lost potential future wages," most people are pointing out the implausibility of the OP's story. Or sharing their own (generally more believable) tales of high school administrative incompetence. edit: Content: quote:So I was at a popular mexican resturant named Cheekys and while I was there with some friends the conversation starting to get pretty stale since we had been there for about an hour or so. To get to the point, I decided to hop on tinder and look for some potential mates. ibntumart has a new favorite as of 06:41 on Apr 6, 2015 |

Nyarai posted:I thought the implication is that she was wearing some dumb goth boots with high heels or somesuch. It says combat boots, but that wouldn't make someone who was normally close to someone else's height be a foot taller than them. I read it the same as hyperhazard, a "ew gross what a weirdo dating/marrying a short guy" sentiment. Like that the woman is such a freak that she can't find anyone her own height or "correctly tall" to go out with/marry her. It was also probably somewhat of an exaggeration but, you know. STDH and all.

reddit posted:I actually witnessed this interaction yesterday while I was shopping at my local electronics store, with the blue-polo-and-tan-khaki-pants uniform style. Over in the next aisle was another customer, (I'll call her "Customer #1") -- wearing a white button-up shirt and dark khaki pants. Based on her dress (even though it was non-standard for the store, it looked professional) and general "no-nonsense" demeanor I guess I can partly understand why "Customer #2" (soon to enter our story) assumed automatically that Customer #1 was a manager.

At that point in the story you're assuming the kid is like seven years old, and that's a pretty reasonable/common "mom worry" when exposing their child to media, it's not like it would draw the attention of every customer in the sto--oh I'm pointing out plot holes in an NAR story never mind
