Thank you.<br /><br />@Major, I say BWAHAHAHAHA all the time, just not here, I want you all to like me. <br /><br />I am figuring that I will spend my retirement time constantly commenting on GDB threads. <br /><br />Chuck is making a BSA insider joke which goes sort of like "Do you get paid to be a Scoutmaster? Yes, I recently got a 100% raise, twice nothing is still nothing". And you're right, wearing the uniform is generally compensation enough.<br /><br />Also, I saw Injudicious Moose Banter open for Cheap Trick back in the '80's. Great band.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-76727729768074739222016-08-22T20:51:05.266-07:002016-08-22T20:51:05.266-07:00Major, I remember STØRE.

The Norwegian Cast Member rang me up and then hurried outdoors. When I joined my sister outside, we saw all the Norwegian kids in a big knot with their arms around each other, watching the light show and swaying back and forth to the music. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen at the parks. Even though the drink came in a plain plastic shot glass, I kept it with my souvenirs from that trip because it was such a special memory.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-45331693235521441082016-08-22T17:09:56.524-07:002016-08-22T17:09:56.524-07:00Nanook, you are correct!

For shame!<br /><br />Tom, your comment makes me think of a Simpson’s gag; there is a store that appears to be based on IKEA, only it’s called “UGLI”.<br /><br />Chuck, because I have “Jason’s Disneyland Almanac”. I do my research!<br /><br />Melissa, they need to serve an alcoholic beverage at the Norway pavilion in EPCOT and call it the Moose Sluice (too lazy to figure out how to put slashes through my o’s).<br /><br />Nanook, If you say that three times while looking in a mirror, Roy Williams will appear.<br /><br />JG, you’ll notice that you and Chuck shaped right up when threatened with discipline. Somehow “BWAHAHAHAHA” seems so “un-JG”!<br /><br />David Zacher, more ungulate humor, please.<br /><br />Chuck, I’ll double it! As soon as I get paid anything at all.<br /><br />JG, Chuck gets paid, but he has to buy all of his stuff at the company store, so it comes right back to me.<br /><br />Melissa, sometimes I wonder about the GDB readers…<br /><br />Chuck, isn’t it enough to just wear a big yellow sash with the word “SCOUTMASTER” on it??<br /><br />JG, I need to know how that will work.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-3204256202866486252016-08-22T13:18:39.994-07:002016-08-22T13:18:39.994-07:00@Chuck, it's all becoming clear to me now.
