When Disney Characters Go Bad!
Every year in junior high, there would be a school trip to Great Adventure/Six Flags. And every year, my friends and I would always go to the Haunted House. And every time we went to the Haunted House and one of the costumed ghouls jumped out from behind a cage to try and scare us? We'd squirt him with a bottle of ketchup that we'd stolen from the concession stand.
Although I feel guilty about it now, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that it was pretty fucking funny. The "ghouls" were usually college kids and they would get so fucking pissed off that a little 13-year-old squirted them with ketchup, they'd rattle the bars of the cages and start screaming, "I'm going to kick your fucking ass, you little shit." A few times, they ran after us but they were never able to "ketchup" (get it? ketch-up? da-dum-dum!)
I totally should have gotten my ass kicked by them. If any of those college kids had ever caught me, I would have taken my ass-whupping like a man and would have had no regrets about it. My parents taught me from a young age that actions have consequences. So if being a wise-ass punk cost me a beating, c'est la vie.
Anyway, I was thinking about this today because I just found this awesome video of Pluto at Disneyland totally losing his cool because some little kid kicked him in the nuts. Check it out:
Man, if I were Pluto, I would have done the same thing. Wouldn't you?
