And on until morning
Posted by Laurence Simon at 09:31 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (28)

Apparently, a man in his seventies was struck by a Peter Pan Adventure pirate ship at Disneyworld and flown by helicopter to the hospital on Tuesday.

A 71-year-old man visiting Disney World with his wife and granddaughter fell off a moving walkway leading to a Peter Pan ride and was pinned under a pirate ship that carries passengers through the attraction, an official with emergency services said on Wednesday.

The man, who was flown to a hospital by helicopter after being freed on Tuesday evening, received superficial scrapes and bruises in the accident and was listed in "very stable" condition, said Bo Jones, the deputy chief of Reedy Creek Emergency Services.

He was flown to the hospital yesterday, but emergency services didn't tell the media today?

Hrm.

Obviously, this is a failure of leadership and openness in Captain Hook's administration.

  • Why the delay in informing the media?
  • Was Captain Hook drinking while piloting his pirate ship when it ran over the man?
  • Does Captain Hook have all the necessary pilot's licenses?
  • Has Captain Hook divested his portfolio of Peter Pan Peanut Butter stock?
  • Why isn't spokesman Donald Duck being forthcoming about the incident, and why doesn't he wear pants?

The public has the right to know, and Capitain Hook is failing the public. Instead of being the Happiest Place On Earth, we are discovering that Disneyworld is nothing more than a brutal, totalitarian police state run by a madman with blood on his hands.

Um... okay, fine - hand.

Wow, you know you're bad off when even IMAO can't cheer me up...
Oh yeah, and the reason I bad off is my house burnt down...

This whole Disney thing is Karl Rove's fault.

Rindo? Are you serious? Wow. Sorry to hear that.

#2 - Posted by: SkyeChild on February 15, 2006 10:24 PM

Rindo, what can we do to help?

#3 - Posted by: spacemonkey on February 15, 2006 10:31 PM

Very stable? Doesn't that mean dead?

#4 - Posted by: OCBill on February 15, 2006 11:05 PM

Pirates will continue to be a pproblem until we end Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.

#5 - Posted by: LibertyBob on February 16, 2006 12:03 AM

You know, if the guy was thinking happy thoughts he could've flown his own damn self to the hospital!

#6 - Posted by: Chris on February 16, 2006 12:05 AM

But what I want to know is what Capt. Hook knows about the NSA wiretaping and why was he trying to elimate this 71yr....Did the 71yr old know something that Capt Hook didn't want released to the public?

too much on this site to comment so i refer you to a page on my site which expresses the reply i'd make to your views on -helping the poor-, -the homeless-, -the suffering- and -Anti-semitism-; how you feel about these, in light of your claim to follow the teachings of Christ.
some of us (my friends and i) are ardent followers of Christ. and yes the ones who are, do believe Christ is the Messiah who died for our sins.
but some of us are Jews who do believe in the Lord but not with certainty Christ is the Messiah. these friends are atleast open minded enough to seriously consider Him as a distinct possiblity. us followers of Christ, (we're too ashamed of today's "Christian" establishment to even call ourselves "Christians". we call ourselves Nazarenes or Netzarim, as the disciples were called) we refuse to try to convert our Jewish friends because Jews are no simpletons and it can be condescending and rude to preach. it's better to just be good friends and let them ask about our Faith when THEY'RE READY TO. living by the teachings of Christ, really walking the walk, not just talking the talk, --without preaching at all-- can be soo much more effective. --take this hint! don't say it, DO it!
my Jewish friends find themselves living by the teachings of Christ even though they don't believe in Him. that's no surprise since these teachings are an ingrained part of Jewish family ethics and morals taught as strongly as any business ethic, since before the time of Christ! Christ had to re-emphasize these traditional Jewish teachings because they had fallen away amid the evil Roman influences in Judea and the Right-Wing Fundamentalist PHARISEES and SADUCEES who came out of the collapsing decay of the once-righteous Hasmonean-Maccabbee Holy-royal Dynasty)
the same PHARISEES who argued with CHRIST about whether he can heal the sick and help the poor on the Sabbath. is Christ allowed to help the suffering on the Sabbath?
not according to them --because they said the Scriptures said what they already believed in their black cold hearts to be true. --we don't give a crap about the less fortunate so we're gonna twist and distort the Scriptures to say what we already believe, that there are times it's bad to help others. we're alot more important to God than the poor. there are certain people you aren't allowed to help because WE SAID SO. --
Christ is God so naturally he laughed at them knowing he created the Universe and meant all flesh to help one another in kindness, Love and the Spirit of the Lord Himself, without excuse, discrimination or judgement.

(this site is "Anti-" a few things. the site's definitely Anti-Anglo ARISTOCRATS.
we're soo "Anti-" those jerks!
we're assuredly -Pro-Scottish-, -Pro-Irish. (-Pro-Celt-)
we're -Pro-HUMAN- beyond anything you can imagine)
(yes we're Pro-Braveheart,
Pro-SIR William Wallace ..everything the biographic masterpiece film stands for)
we're Pro-The Patriot; everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) it stands for, especially the PATRIOTIC part. we especially love the parts where the ENGLISH ANGLO Aristocrats get the crap beat out of them over and over and over and OVER! the more blood spilled by the ENGLISH ARISTOCRATS the better!
except, we all HATED "The Passion". it was Anti-semitic and Scripturally innaccurate.

this page has quotes from Scripture that are compelling and eye opening since i bet you've never read them in your life. if you have, it probably got ignored by the pastor or he carefully distracted you from letting the Spirit of these essential Scriptures sink into your heart, by once again repetitively making everybody read obscure verses in Song of Solomon or hurried you to join in prayer for the Lord to give him that BMW with church tithes instead of a homeless kitchen dinner giveaway.

I don't understand everything but it looks completly crazy... Funny text. I guess. ;-)

#10 - Posted by: Cyrille de Lasteyrie on February 16, 2006 05:28 AM

David the Punk Scottish dude...how does any of what you said coincide with Pirates?

Just wondering...

Pirates are cool...

#11 - Posted by: sarasmom on February 16, 2006 08:38 AM

Sarasmom, Amen sister!

And If he follows the Word of God, how can he be a Punker, since it's all about anarchy and not respecting authority. Jesus was REALLY BIG on respecting the existing authority and living in, but not of, the World.

Homeboy has some explaining to do. And did Capyain Hook take out the 71 year old man for trying to convert Jews?

#12 - Posted by: DesertElephant on February 16, 2006 09:31 AM

So... "David the Punk Scottish dude," how was this post on the failure of Captain Hook's administration cue for you to rant on and on about religion? I don't get it. And your zealotous post is really hard to read/understand... too many weird text things going on.

Laurence, this post was hilarious... keep it up!

#13 - Posted by: Janna on February 16, 2006 12:40 PM

Punk ... that's the squishy pulpy stuff that's hard to light in wood, right?
Based on his delusional posting ... sounds about right ... punk ... yep.

Pirates are funny ... and sneaky .... taking that fella right off the sidewalk!

#14 - Posted by: pete in Midland on February 16, 2006 12:41 PM

i apologize in advance for UPPERCASE.

religion is for the weak?
HEIL, der FUHRER Chow! Chow HITLER.

SURVIVAL of the FINANCIALLY FITTEST, huh, JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER?
SOCIAL DARWINISM? that right?
"religion is the opiate of the masses.", said Likolai Lenin. dare i suggest Communist influences going on among all of you?

pirates? when did i mention pirates?
never. maybe you were joking?
if so, haha. good one! hilarious! but if not, you missed 7th grade Unified studies or History class, i think?

Punk isn't about anarchy and it doesn't embrace "not respecting ALL authority", it only embraces REVOLUTION against STUPID and EVIL authority! Punk DOES embrace prudent, wise, careful, peaceful, compassionate, charitable and yet strong as nails authority and leadership.
that just shows how little you understand real AMERICAN society, punk, as well as DIVERSE American cultures!
before you conduct yourself among the regulars in society, read American pop culture slang dictionaries and read about American culture in greater detail before you try to associate with us warm, red-blooded humans!
you LOVE only ENGLISH ARISTOCRATIC and ANGLO-"AMERICAN" culture. FUCK OFF.

and ..no where in the Scriptures is it said that profanity is bad unless it's to blaspheme the Lord or severely hurt someone's feelings to the core. the words spoken commonly in Israel and Judea including spoken by Christ and the disciples was CULTURAL Aramaic and Greek which included several common swear words. but they were only ones that expressed "Get away from me!" or "leave me!" or "Get you behind me!"
Christ was by no means for "respecting the existing authority"!
you're right that he believed in "living in but not being a part of this world's system".

two platinum stars for studying, Reginald the II of Chathanbury! well done, lad! your father, the Lord of Chathanbury will give you a new Rolls for that!
Christ was quite obviously counter-the existing-Establishment of Israel but he just wasn't a revolutionary like Bar-Abbas the Zealot (Barabas the Zealot, to the unschooled)
in Hebrew, "Bar" means "Son of". he was "Son Of Abbas".
Christ didn't promote violence but he did urge all his followers to, in a pinch, when authorities are after them to, "be safe! trade your cloak in for a SWORD! you would do well to protect yourself, brothers and sisters!"
that throws off the "turn the other cheek, brother." impression of Christ, doesn't it? it might support carrying a rifle but i doubt he meant us to buy cheap quality rifles from Wal-mart. i won't split hairs on that. ;-D
maybe when Christ said turn the other cheek, he didn't mean turn the other face cheek, maybe he meant turn your other ass cheek and tell them to go kiss it?
he was in frequent conflict with religious authorities, the Sanhedrin and the Right-Wing Fundamentalist Jews, Pharisees and Sadducees. a constant thorn in their side as well as in the side of Roman authority. and they meant to deal him a thorn or two as well! he never altered his mission or behavior, to conform to the will of ANY authority, except that of His own spiritual plan.
the only purpose he had for appearing to, was to momentarily avoid drawing attention to him and his followers at a crucial time. that changed, once he entered the gates of Jerusalem.
btw, "the church" is not the new Israel. "Christians" do not have the jurisdiction, nor any monarchy or American-European authority have jurisdiction whatsoever over Jerusalem.
it is Jewish and Arab property. ARABS are Semitic too. they're cousins of the Jews. it's wrong to persecute innocent Arabs, and yes there are millions and millions of innocent Arabs (contrary to what CNN or Fox news says)
i await the day G.W. Bush marches his armies into Jerusalem, rebuilds the Temple of Herod, erects a statue of himself in the Holy of Holies for all to worship him as God, forces everybody in the world to bear his mark on their right hand or forehead and not be able to buy food (save that they have his mark) and get beheaded if found without that mark of G.W. Bush on their right hand or forehead.
then above the Holy Jewish altar, he has pork sacrifice and ham cooked in honey-mustard BBQ sauce to defile the Most High. (Anti-Christ)
i didn't expect to spend my lunch writing this. but thanks, it was different.

Looks like someone forgot to take their medication............

#16 - Posted by: Brian The Adequate on February 16, 2006 02:53 PM

i forgot, i'm glad to see honesty for a change among Right-Wingers. i know all your claims of Christian faith and being the ally to the follower of Christ is bullshit.
(all people who call themselves Christian yet have any confidence in Cheney or Karl Rove --GET THE GUM OUT OF YOUR EYES AND EARS and LISTEN UP! )
i always knew it because Right-Wing ideology is the most polar-opposite from the teachings of Christ, i know of, in existence today ..except for Fascism.
it's quite opposite of Jewish ethics and morals as well, of course.
it's quite opposite of Arab ethics and morals.
strangely, extremist Muslim ideologies and ideologues are quite parallel and similar to Right-Wing ideology. they're both dependent on a "paranoid-borderline psychotic-passive & active sociopathic, screw them all with no consequences for our actions because the ends justify the means" world view.
it's quite refreshing to find honesty about these cold hearted, inhumane, DARTH VADER, mean spirited, irrational attitudes instead of pretending to be a holy roller.
show your true colors from now on, okay?
btw don't say "homeboy" anymore or any ebonics slang. it only sounds believable when somebody from the Hood is saying it. and i have great difficulty believing any genuine Hood rats are any of you Right-wing commenters. Hood rats tend to be too smart to be Right-Wingers. because they're really living a real life. they know what the hazards and thrills of life are truly like. because they are HUMANS, like me.
don't talk to HUMANS til you know how to mimic us accurately.

#17 - Posted by: David the Scottish American Patriot (still not pirate) on February 16, 2006 03:03 PM

Being vehemently pro-life, I regret saying that David (definitely not a pirate - or so he says) might just be a sound argument for abortion.

#18 - Posted by: Jim P on February 16, 2006 03:40 PM

Now hold up, HOLD UP!! The article you are commenting on, SCOTTISH PUNK is a humor article about the guy that got hit by a THEME PARK ride called Peter Pan's Pirate ship. NONE OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT!! SERIOUSLY, get yer own freaking blog if you want to spout off about nontopical material...geez,what a moron...

#19 - Posted by: sarasmom on February 16, 2006 04:28 PM

The incident occured while Captain Hook was distracted fighting a ninja.

No word yet on who won.

#20 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on February 16, 2006 04:34 PM

Jim,

Pro-life is not Pro-family or Pro-child.
you might think it is but it isn't.

Pro-life is Pro-Cheap Labor of the masses by making sure 90% of Americans are poor and barely able to feed all the stomachs because they have too many to nourish in their household. so they have no options but to slave as cheap labor to mega corporations, it's Pro-Oppression of the masses from becoming powerful enough, financially stable enough and smart enough to band together and revolt against the wealthy few who continue to offer scarce little government attention except Tyranny like that of the Empire in Star Wars, (in other words they can't allow another "American Revolutionary War" like they lost in 1787 and in the War of 1812 --never again will the big English-American corporate monopolies of the earth allow themselves to lose another Revolution to the American PEASANT riff-raff, it's CONTROL of the AMERICAN MASSES for an attempt to maintain tyranny and overlord of the wealth and power of the world.

i have no problem with and actually respect and admire regular English-American wealthy people who aren't part of this game of greed. they want to be millionaires but they're still kind-hearted, not hording their wealth at all costs! not many of these good people around because they're not mean and aggressive.

my grandparents were these type of wealthy but kind people.

they were Abe Lincoln-style Republicans.
FDR Democratics and Eisenhower Republicans.

the Middle Class and The Poor are the ones who deserve the most consideration. they're the ones that keep the market functioning on all levels. i mean the AMERICAN Middle Class and the AMERICAN Poor.
i meant those making $35,000-$300,000 salary when i say Middle class.

i know you Right-Wingers hate FDR because he was a "traitor" to the English Aristocrats' dominion of American wealth and power since the 1880s. FDR and his awesome First Lady, Eleanor Rosevelt or as you Right-Wingers pronounce it "Rooooosevelt" were wealthy millionaire English Aristocrats if there ever were any.
but they rebelled against their social conditioning and insisted on following the teachings of Christ to help the regular guy, especially after the Great Depression which was caused by Right-Wing billionaire Anglo-Americans.

Pro-life means Pro- every stage of Human life, not just birth and the grave. everything in between as well.
you can be Anti-Abortion but not Pro-life unless it's Pro-helping hard-working Poor and Middle Class families and the elderly to have a richer and dignified quality of life without unbearable suffering everyday without the options to help themselves.

God does NOT just help those who help themselves.
YOU ARE YOUR BROTHERS' KEEPERS!
only Cain said, "i am not my brother's keeper!" ..after he MURDERED HIS BROTHER, ABEL, OUT OF PETTY JEALOUSY AND CONTEMPT!!

we are ALL each others' keepers, even if you don't believe in God and think religion is for the weak, we are each others' keepers because it's simply the Humane and right thing to do. i don't believe in a Hell because there's nothing in the Scriptures that teaches a definitive Hell for Humans. there's only a Pit for fallen Angels. no fire and brimstone to punish you for not helping others but there are simply no rewards that make eternal life worth living. imagine eternal life with no wealth or position? imagine it as a petty servant for the Poor who would then be your Masters?

ENJOY!

cheers,
David

ps. Jim, it makes sense that anybody who you know is onto the Right-Wing's true agendas is a target for extermination. if i were simply aborted, how easy the problem of my stirring up rebellion among the masses would be.

but too bad! i wasn't aborted.
ha ha ..ha-ha ha! nanny nanny nanny poo! i'm sure it'd have been nice for you if Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were aborted ..but they weren't! HAHA!
VIVA REVOLUTION!

WHAT DOES ANY OF THE SCOTTISH DUDE'S DRIVEL HAVE TO DO WITH PIRATE RIDES!?!?! WHAT WHAT WHAT?????

Frankly, I'm surprised this kind of thing hasn't happened on MR. Toad's Wild Ride. And I'm fairly certain that Scottish dude has ridden that ride one time TOO many.

#22 - Posted by: sarasmom on February 16, 2006 06:56 PM

Hey sarasmom,
I think our functionally-challenged friend David the Whatever did a pretty good job of pirating the comments page, if nothing else.

#23 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 16, 2006 09:30 PM

you guys are hilarious! i mean that.
i was waiting for some funny responses about my sanity. you didn't disappoint.

i threw in extra dramatics to make you react like what the hell is this guy's issues?

i did express my true opinions and views but inflated it with anxiety-neurotic induced silliness.

i thought it might entertain, annoy a wee bit, distract you from the intended topic and make ya laugh at some of the absurdity of how i said what i said.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! that was priceless!

#24 - Posted by: David the Scottish dude on February 16, 2006 09:51 PM

//i thought it might entertain, annoy a wee bit,//

You, sir, need to be beaten severely...preferrably with something metallic and blunt......SLEDGEHAMMERS ALL AROUND!!

#25 - Posted by: sarasmom on February 17, 2006 08:39 AM

Sarasmom, we need to do this right! Make sure we place his scrambled, socialist/anarchist head on an anvil first. Have to have a steady base. This provides for less bounce back and a consistent target field.

#26 - Posted by: DesertElephant on February 17, 2006 08:52 AM

the truth in that satire is perfect. Thank you. Maybe this will get the PO'ed libs to shut up...or piss them off more. Wither way, I win.

#27 - Posted by: RPKLMG on February 21, 2006 11:39 AM
