Subject: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 28 Jun 10 - 01:25 PM Apparently the seven dwarfs were working down the mine when it collapsed. A large crowd gathered and someone shouted down the mine "Is anyone alive down there"? to which a reply came "England will win the World Cup"!!!! Snow White said she was relieved to know at least that Dopey was alive. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: gnu Date: 28 Jun 10 - 04:18 PM Yer just Grumpy. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 28 Jun 10 - 05:59 PM They were all rescued and last I heard they were all in the bath and feeling Happy... Happy jumped out so they're all feeling Grumpy! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 10 - 06:35 PM I heard that Bashful got Happy when Doc examined Sneezy. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Severn Date: 28 Jun 10 - 09:13 PM Enough of White Dwarves. What about Red Giants? Just don't take those miners across a state line, and you'll maintain your snow white reputation. It was that kind of major miner disaster that berried Chuck for a few years. They can convict you someday, when the prints finally come... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 10 - 09:34 PM But witch? It would almost be magic to mirror such a poisonous fruit! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 10 - 09:53 PM Has anyone besides me ever wondered about those seven holes in the wall of Snow White's shower? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Smokey. Date: 28 Jun 10 - 09:59 PM How high up are they? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 10 - 10:07 PM About three feet off the ground. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Smokey. Date: 28 Jun 10 - 10:19 PM So they're on stools then? (I can't believe I just bothered to look for a tape-measure) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Rapparee Date: 28 Jun 10 - 10:43 PM It depends on how tall they are. Sleazy doesn't have a problem and neither does Happy, but it could be why Grumpy is. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Smokey. Date: 28 Jun 10 - 11:03 PM I think I understand the misunderstanding here. American dwarfs are bigger. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jun 10 - 01:53 AM Perhaps they just look up to Snow White!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Smokey. Date: 29 Jun 10 - 01:58 AM But there are only seven holes.. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jun 10 - 02:13 AM Seems there are a few around who know a lot about peeping through holes..... Never had the pleasure of seeing Snow White though!!! LOL |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Jun 10 - 03:41 AM A little known fact is there was an eighth miner elf named Lumpy but he died from Black Lung. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jun 10 - 04:05 AM There was also a ninth called 'Randy' but he died of frustration because he was shorter than the rest and couldn't reach the holes! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Severn Date: 29 Jun 10 - 07:34 AM In the Disney version, at least, the dwarves worked in a diamond mine, and I'm sure Snow White knew what "a girl's best friend" was. As for all the "a little on the side" and "delinquency of miners" references, I can't vouch for any of them. What do diamond miners get, anyway, Crystal Lung? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jun 10 - 07:48 AM Must be a joke in there somewhere concerning how 'hard' diamonds are!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Rapparee Date: 29 Jun 10 - 10:21 AM And now, from 1967, the fabled cartoon by Wally Wood, here, from the late, lamented "The Realist", I present to you: The Disneyland Orgy!!! (Not, repeat not, suitable for children or actually anyone but Spaw.) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jun 10 - 01:09 PM I see there was possibly another Dwarf... 'Gropey' at centre/left in the pic. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: gnu Date: 29 Jun 10 - 07:07 PM I thought the glass slipper was a different story, Rap. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: gnu Date: 29 Jun 10 - 07:12 PM Tried to find a vid of George Carlin's take on Snow White shacked up with seven miners but to no avail. Here are the written words to the whole bit from "Toledo Window Box"... The first.... time the child hears lyrics are nursery rhymes. And they hear them at that much more gathering age- all through zero through five. And that's their first introduction into bizarre behavior. You've thought about your nursery rhymes. Quite a gang we had in there. They were all on on obvious various drug experiences. Each of them has his or her fave. I got to thinking of this one night when the word Snow White just passed my mind, I thought- Snow White..right! Try to figure, y'know. I didn't know whether it was smack or coke and I thought- can't be smack; too much housework to do with those seven little devils around. Some..something to pep you up. Something to make you want to wash the garage. A little something for the nose. The seven dwarves were each on different little trips. Happy was into grass and grass alone. Maybe some hash, make a little holiday for him, "hey...thanks, man, hey down here.." Happy, that's all he did. Sleepy was into reds. Grumpy- too much speed. Sneezy was a full blown coke freak. Doc was a connection. Dopey was into everything. Any old orifice will do for Dopey. Always got his arm out and his leg up. And then, the one we always forget because he was..Bashful. Bashful didn't use drugs; he was paranoid on his own. Didn't need any help on that ladder. Other people in those nursery rhymes. Old King Cole? Figure what they did. "Old King Cole was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he, He called for his pipe; he called for his bowl.." I guess we all know about Old King Cole. He wanted to get high and listen to the fiddlers! Hansel and Gretel discovered the gingerbread house about forty-five minutes after they discovered the mushrooms..."Yeah, I see it, too." Mary Mary Quite contrary, how does your garden grow is a rather obvious one. With silver bells and cockle shells and an acre and a half of killer ****! Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie Stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said, "Holy ****, am I high!" Mary had a little gram..no. Mary had a little lamb It's stash was white as snow And everywhere that Mary went They'd both enjoy the blow! Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey Along came a spider and sat down beside her and they rapped for about an hour and a half Goldilocks was a speed freak looking for a place to crash. It's obvious. Who else would go to a bear's house? And you notice she didn't eat much. Little porridge, right in the sack. I know what's happening. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: mousethief Date: 29 Jun 10 - 08:04 PM Snow White isn't a nursery rhyme. Nor Hansel and Gretel. Nor Goldilocks. Carlin should have stuck with what he knew. |

From: MuddleC Date: 30 Jun 10 - 04:41 PM You lot are a load of cards lost in your own sort of wonderland, there's no real depth to your comments, it's heartless how you club together in this way, why not call a spade a spade and come up trumps by shining like diamonds, otherwise you may end up loosing your heads .. now wipe that smile off your face |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: gnu Date: 30 Jun 10 - 05:10 PM MT... I think George did make a few nickels with what he knew. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: mousethief Date: 01 Jul 10 - 03:54 PM He depended on the ignorance of his audience as well. He certainly made more money than I have being funny. Doesn't stop me calling a spade. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mining Disaster at Disney. From: MMario Date: 01 Jul 10 - 03:58 PM Obvioously a send up from the start as the Disney characters are not allowed to speak. |
