I don't believe this. As I child I went to Disney on Ice many times, and I never once saw Walt's head sliding around the rink...

Probably the bit about him getting smelly was added after-the-fact, simply because burial of the living was probably quite common then, as it was even as late as the 18th and 19th centuries.

Reasonable? Telling them to uncork the grave after 4 days and voila! he wasn't really dead after all? If you're going to accept a miracle like this, you might as well accept the whole thing...
At the end of it all, I want to be told "Well done". I don't want to _be_ well done!

As are far too many marker pens, crayon stains on clothing after going through the clothes drier, and the scar on my knuckle from an unfortunate incident slicing tomatoes as an irrepressible teen at a local burger establishment.

I dunno. So long as there was a source of water, four days would be doable. And I can assure you I'd be smelly.

Those ads are too creepy. Some of the Orvilles are obviously CG, and others seem to be old footage. They're both creepy. It's like commercial necromancy. [zombie]"Buy my popping corn."[/zombie]

And...
I saw Colonel Sanders having a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.
I'll take your word for it, not being all that wild about Piña Coladas, myself. I was at a Trader Vic's, once. It was okay; it made me think of Applebee's, but for the Parrothead crowd and more expensive. It was a while back, but if memory serves, I think they may have had Guinness. That's always good.
Colonel Sanders with a Piña Colada at Trader Vic's: the vignette is just so...right. It's sort of like the Elysian Fields for the celebrity departed. I see him alternately wearing an open-necked Hawaiian shirt, shorts and sandals, and his trademark snappy white linen suit getup with the ribbon string tie. I wish he'd make up his mind.
