I know how to tie a tie, but it's always a pain fiddling with the knot to make it look good. My brother's girlfriend picked me up a really amazing tie. It's not a clip-on - it goes all the way around your neck. But embedded in the "knot" is a zipper. The part that goes around your neck has zipper teeth on one side. The two ends enter the knot, are zipped together by the knot and the zipped-together parts dangle behind the main part of the tie just like a regular tie. It's great! Throw it over your head, hold the knot in one hand, the end in the other. Viola, perfectly knotted tie.

The kid was grabbing Tig's tail or after the zipper as others have said. Tig didn't punch him, he was bringing his arm around to push the kid away and misjudged the distance. Those helmut/masks have virtually no visibility, Tig would have to be some sort of ninja to actually mean to hit him. Ever see mascot fights?

Even the reviewer could see the kid was being a dick. Dad just wants to make sure he sues the right guy.

Me, I woulda used teh Spring Tail Piledriver Kung Fu Style on the little bizatch.

taboo?? What the fuck!!?, you'll make a good lawyer someday...that's right, fire people because of the knee-jerk reactions of others...The world needs less bullshit reasoning, and more arm-locks and mitts!!

“Tigger doesn't seem to be falling to me. The kid does seem to be making some sort of smart comment just before things go down, however, these "cast members" are trained to take that stuff. Tigger's reaction, locking the arm in place, seems to be automatic and likely a knee-jerk response to a zipper being pulled down (showing the humans beneath the costumes is one of the big taboos for employees). The other hand seems to come around to me as part of the spin to avoid getting the zipper pulled, and I think the hit is accidental. If it's not accidental, however, Tigger broke the other big taboo and should be let go, no matter how much of a smart ass that kid was being.”

Bah just get some harley riding boots, they have a zipper on the side and some latches that you only have to adjust once.

you have to keep an emergency-preparedness bag (because of EARTHQUAKES), but they're ugly so you don't want to show them in your room.

now there's the disaster teddy bear. it's easy to find because of its glow-in-the-dark armband and you can carry it like a backpack. plus, it's a cute toy for children.

the 22 items are inside the zipper in the back of the teddy bear. they're the items that survivors of actual disasters (like the hanshin earthquake) wish they had.

the 22 items:
1. radio with light (batteries included)
2. inside slippers to protect your feet
3, 4. emergency water (2 packs)
5. emergency blanket.
6-8. simple first aid kit (bandaids, gauze, Qtips)
9. work gloves
10. whistle
11. compressed towel
12. hand-cranked generator for cellphone
13. eyemask
14. playing cards
15-19. emergency toolkit (scissors, nail clippers, tweezers, nail file, ???)
20, 21. ballpoint pen (hangs around neck), disaster-prevention notepad
22. disaster prevention handbook

"But I'm going to let you all in on a little secret here. Going to war in Iraq was not about WMD's. It never was. It's about planting Democracy in the Middle East and ultimately being in a strategic position to confront Iran."
I missed that the first time around. Funny stuff. When Clinton was less-than-truthful about his zipper, it was perjury. What would you call obfuscation on a global scale? With thousands upon thousands dead?
If you think knocking over Iran's longtime foe and replacing it with sectarian chaos puts us in a "strategic position to confront Iran", then...well, let's just say you'd suck at Risk.
If this really is a global struggle on the level of WWII (as the President and the Sec. of Defense have started spinning it)...where's the draft? War bonds? Alliances with the rest of world?
Even the Republicans in Congress are running away from this colossally stupid "strategy". Guess they're Bush-bashers and hate America first, too - eh?
