Spirited Bedtime Musing (hope the fanboi minions have the 600-threadcount sheets on the royal slumber chamber's bedding):
One of the dumbest and most absurd things I have heard that is bound to **** off folks who love being offended by me and my views:

Yes, that's right. One of the most basic staples of an ice cream sundae (and my favorite Gold Rush at Ghirardelli's) the peauut is no longer being used at Disney locations in O-Town and Anaheim.
I wonder when the company is going to grow a pair and stop catering to every special needs group out there. No peanuts on ice cream?!?! What do these idiot parents do when at a grocery store? Or when they send their children to friend's home? Or on a trip?
And what about chocolate?!?! Many people are allergic. That was Disney's excuse over a decade ago when they stopped giving free chocolates when they brought a check at full serve restaurants at WDW. To be on the safe side they should just close the shops down. And the candy shops as well ... they have peanuts, chocolates and all sorts of poisons on the shelves. Can't ever be too protective when thinking about a tiny minority of children (and adults). We should all have to change our lives to cater to them! If the allergy is truly that great, then common sense dictates that they are carrying an EpiPen with them everywhere they go.
I don't mean to make light about this, but when I was a child I never knew a sole Spirit who had a peanut allergy. I also never knew a sole Spirit who had Asperger's but I am not even going there.
WIth all due respect to my Star Trek loving friends, but when did the needs of the few (or the one) become greater than the needs (or peanut love) of the many? And when does the insanity end?
All of these 'pets' that have been appearing at WDW over the last decade that are just that and disguised as 'service animals' ... even Channing Tatum has a fake one and thinks it's charming. A local bar had to deal with a suit recently by some moron who wanted to take his 'comfort dog' to his local watering hole and would place the dog on a bar stool and even hold him over the serving area (a health code violation).
I'm all for special needs people getting some help. I'm all for fairness. But when we start catering to everyone who claims to be special and has issues, then the reality becomes no one is special and no one needs help and protections.
But thanks, crazy, overprotective Moms and ridiculous execs who worry about lawsuits when they pay people off left and right, I won't be going back to Ghirardelli. I'll just head to Friendly's and get a better, bigger sundae for half the price (or less) and I'll ask for extra nuts (my fanboi minions should most definitely approve!) The stupidity never ends. Anyone recall the mother who demanded Disney remove the peanut impressions in the Storybook Circus paving because her brat was allergic (apparently, to concrete peanut impressions)?
Yes, I'm an insensitive b@stard. I'm also 100% right about this.
. It would be hypocritical to support the NFL and not boxing. I'm not saying I like it or support what these dirt bags do. I won't watch the fight either.
