Where my she-devils at?

If you need a minion to do your bidding, I am available.

According to Micechat Maynard, the Plaza Inn Chef of 40 years, and Gunny (Flag Ceremony Vet) all left this week. I think it would have to be tied to the vaccine mandate, too much of a coincidence.

If that's the case, then good for them, and good for us.

Yeah, just about everyone I know that worked with Maynard couldn’t stand him. Seems well intentioned, but some of the stories (mostly on par with those that have come out) are pretty rough.

(and some discussing re: vaccine)




Obviously who knows if any of this is true.

I have friends who've worked with him and they've told me he's wild into conspiracies and stuff... so I 100% believe these Twitter posts.

This was his spiel:

So that's the guy we saw in Tiki room during our last visit- had no idea it was the famed Maynard. Dude was rattling on in bad pidgin, kind of annoying, like it was his show. I just wanted Jose to wake up and get on with the singing.

That was the problem with Maynard. He would overshadow the attraction. I didn't pay thousands of dollars to see the Maynard show. I paid for attractions and not some guy running around like a fool.

If it was one person with a story, I'd take it with a grain of salt but there seem to be many more.

Based on the amount of laughter in the video (and at the time I saw it in person), he definitely appealed to more people than not. The ones who don't like him are the purists who sit around on message boards all day and only like traditional things.

If he told fart jokes and juggled plates people would laugh too.

Yet those are the people that turned him into some sort of cast member god.
