When plastic animals attack!

Have you ever been attacked by one of the animals? Are there any piranias in the water? How come there aren't any huge squirrels out there?



I've had some close calls with the ducks, one flew through my boat right in front of me, really creepy. No pirahnas, but there are some fish we jokingly call the baby pirahnas in the back near our break room we feed them little bread crumbs, and watch them all fight for it like pirahnas because we have no lives when we're on break.

I dunno why there aren't any huge squirrels out there, I thought they were in some night time parade playing the piano?


If YOU have any questions you've been wondering about anything, Jungle Cruise, Disney related, Universal, what I had for lunch yesterday, ANYTHING, ask away in the comments section below! Stay tuned for the War Rant this Friday!

The Wild Blue Bunder?

 

It's Friday, and unlike many other Fridays where I'd be glad to say TGIF, I'm wondering what on earth I just did yesterday. Rewind back to Tuesday when I get a call from my recruiter saying he can get me back up to MEPS to finish out processing. Ok, no biggie, been there before, done that, don't have to worry about the poking and prodding parade of doctors anymore, which is good, but still came out feeling sore and wondering why I was there in the first place? 

Oh yeah, that's right, I'm looking for a steady job with great pay and benefits! (Not to mention, so is a LOT of other people and in a couple of days they'll close the doors to any others who want to be processed for a long while, so I just barely snuck by.) So I'm thinking to myself as I go through the process, "Well, I've just signed away the next 8 years of my life to the United States Air Force, hope they'll fly by smoothly with the least amount of turbulence possible." So as I swore in and sealed the deal, I'll just have to keep thinking to myself the next big hurdle to get through is basic training, and then it should be blue skies and smooth sailing in the air for me, right? I thought it was bad when I thought Disney owned me, now I'm officially grade A government cheese with wings!

So now I have to start working out to get ready to ship out for 8 and a half weeks of fun choreographed walking tours, a great exercise flat top facility, and enough camp counselors to come up with tons of fun activities to keep us busy all throughout the hot and humid day. If that sounds like fun, then why not sign up today for a vacation package of a lifetime?

Help load up Pygmy's NEW iPod Touch!

As of right now, I have 30 songs and videos for your viewing and listening pleasure, but I want to max out this thing! Each and every track has something in it that reminds me of my days in the Jungle, and I seem to be running out of song ideas. This is where you come in! I want you to comment below any songs that are jungle-esque that I don't have. Don't worry if you happen to post the same song that's already on my iPod, that just means you're on the right track! So post away and enjoy what I have so far of my jungley iPod mix :)

Coming Soon: Ask A Skipper!

The smash hit thread you've all know and love is now going to be a weekly segment in the Pygmy Post (and the crowd goes wild!)

I'll be here to answer any of your questions you might have about ANYTHING, not just jungle related (although preferred.) There might be some weeks where I'll go digging through the old logs for some of the more memorable questions and answers, because digging for old things is cool.

If you have anything you'd like answered by yours truly, ask away below in the comments section, and I'll pick one or two for next week and answer them here. So what are you waiting for, Ask a Skipper!

Prepare blog for ludicrous speed! Fasten all seatbelts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall, cancel the three ring circus!

Forget hyperdrive, ludicrous speed is the way to go! Thanks to the good people at Walt Disney Boards, I now have some help to spread all things strange and jungley. I'm also in the works of bringing another weekly segment into the blog so stay tuned for that as well. I've also added a couple more jungley songs to my iPod for your listening pleasure.

Also, Happy Easter to everyone out in the jungle, and be sure to stay clear from any dangerous fake animals wearing fake bunny ears!

Missing cookies

Alright boys and girls, Uncle Pygmy's gonna try to keep this blog alive and well as promised, but he needs your help! Every Friday there will be a "War Rant" posting of my choice. I'll try to suggest topics for next week as well and that's when you come in. Comment below on what you'd like me to rant or rave about next week and we'll go from there but for now, today's rant: Missing cookies!

A couple days ago I was called in to work a group and then stay afterwards to work on a couple projects. In between, I stopped by Subway to get myself lunch, and I later find out that they've stopped doing the ANY 5 dollar footlongs. Oh well, I splurged and got a footlong that's more than 5 bucks. I always get myself some oatmeal rasin cookies to go with my meal, and I look down the counter at the cookie case to see there is plenty of cookies available. Today was looking like a great day for me, the weather was great, I finally get a couple of my favorite cookies because they're usually gone by the time I'm there, working on more projects, things were going great. Well, I thought so until it was time for the lady in front of me to ring up her lunch. She turns to the cashier and asks for all the oatmeal rasin cookies. Hold the phone, why on earth would you take away all of those cookies? She leaves before I could say anything, and the cashier gave me a funny look and asked if I was alright. "Yeah," I replied, "but I was gonna get a couple cookies, but I guess that's not happening." "Yeah man, sorry 'bout that." So there you have it. Pygmy is once again, oatmeal cookie-less. Ok, that wasn't that much of an exciting War Rant, but I had to start somewhere.

If you have anything you'd like me to rant/rave about future weeks of the War Rant, please comment below!

Next Week: Stale Peeps!
