Description
There were some crazy stories in the press this week... and a lot of them had to do with theme parks.
For instance...
Disney decided to drop a decades old rule that Walt Disney himself instated. Starting next month, workers will be allowed to sport beards and goatees. Hipsters rejoice!
Thorpe Park in England said that their new coaster "The Swarm" was apparently having some trouble making its height clearances during testing. Apparantly, some of the test mannequins came back without their limbs.
I like this story for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it gave the the opportunity to post a still from one of my favorite 80's movies ever - mannequin. Emmy was one hot Egyptian, man.
The guys also take an opportunity to preview upcoming shows and contests! You won't believe what is in store for February!
