BRUCE A. BRENNAN BLOG FROM THE WORLD AND MY MIND
The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
June 23 is … National Pink Day
Today is another day for Glenn, at least when he dresses for golf. It is also a good day for White Sox fans. The Sox did what they should have done, took 2 out of 3 from an inferior team.
This item is just meant to plant the song in your head for the rest of the day. In 1979, on this date, the rock group, the Knack releases "My Sharona"
How lucky we all are that Walt Disney changed his mind, and instead of opening the Bird Cafe, a Chinese restaurant with an animated, talking Chinese elder spouting Confucius-type bits of wisdom, he created the Enchanted Tiki Room. On this day in 1963, the sounds of Polynesian drums heralded the opening of Disneyland’s first Audio-Animatronic attraction.
If you’ve never been inside the Enchanted Tiki Room, where all the birds sing words and the flowers croon, you are in for a refreshingly innocent 15 (used to be 18) minutes of entertainment. If you’ve experienced this Disney delight, you’ll most likely agree that, after all the thrills and chills of other attractions, the Enchanted Tiki Room is the perfect place to chill out (literally, it’s air-conditioned) and let the Tiki gods take over.
In the tropical garden outside the Enchanted Tiki Room, the Tiki gods and goddesses, Maui, Koro, Tangaroa-Ru, Hina Kuluna, Pele, Negendei, Rongo and Tongoroa set the mood, telling you of their South Sea legends.
The Enchanted Tiki Room entertainment troupe consists of 225 singing, talking birds, flowers, tiki gods and drummers. Emceeing the sit-down show (230+ guests) is the multi-colored Macaw parrot, José. José, speaking with a Spanish accent, brings the show to life, introducing his parrot comedic partners, Michael from Ireland, Pierre from France and Fritz from Germany. The South Seas show is appropriately sponsored by Dole Pineapple and is complete with tropical rain storm ... don’t worry ... you won’t get wet in the Enchanted Tiki Room (although some redesigning has been done and the Tiki gods in the garden now occasionally squirt water at unsuspecting guests).
Other new additions are Iago and Zazu, Disney’s feathered friends from Aladdin and The Lion King, respectively.
José doesn’t mind changes in the script and partnering with the new Audio-Animatronic additions. He loves to entertain, and says he’ll stay forever, as long as the Enchanted Tiki Room isn’t turned into a taco stand.
Our show is delightful. We hope you’ll agree.
We hope that it fills you with pleasure and glee.
Because if we don’t make you feel like that,
We’re gonna wind up on the lady’s hat.
In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room,
In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room,
All the birds sing words and the flowers croon,
In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room.
The Tiki Room has a special place in my family’s heart and I don’t let them forget it.
In 1993 Lorena Bobbitt cut off her husband’s penis with a butcher knife -- while he was sleeping. Police recovered the organ from the roadside where Lorena tossed it. It was surgically reattached to hubby John Wayne Bobbitt, who, by then, was wide awake. Lorena said that she chopped off John’s penis because he had forced himself on her.
Music at the top of the charts over the years on this date:
1950
1958 All I Have to Do is Dream - The Everly Brothers
1966 Paint It, Black - The Rolling Stones
1974 Billy, Don’t Be a Hero - Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods
1982 Ebony and Ivory - Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder
1990 It Must Have Been Love - Roxette
The Newt Gingrich explosion continues. First his campaign staff resigned en masse. Next, his fundraisers all quit. Now, his online biography has been proven to be a lie. He claimed he was a professor at the college level for years. He is not and never has been. This does not even take into account this moron’s claim he and his home wrecking wife live a frugal lifestyle. The frugal lifestyle includes two lines of credit at Tiffany’s for over one million dollars. Not to mention the constant travel and shopping sprees. This is all coming from a guy who was sanctioned by Congress for ethics violations that led to his quitting Congress. So this liar is also an unethical quitter. Seems like prime presidential stock to me.
Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too.
