Fact or No? or, Real or Bullshit Part 2

What up Dorkus Malorkus's? That's Latin... I am uber(German) multilingual and stuff(also have a vocabulary that will... you know... make you impressed or whatever).

How did you like Part 1? Did you learn anything? I mean... besides the extent of my awesomeness.

Let's tackle 6-10 today! Here is the link to the list, if you want to follow along.

#6 As of 2014, there have only been three unscheduled closings. The National Day of Mourning following President Kennedy's death, after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, and September 11th, 2001.

True.

Also, May 14th 2017. Keep that date in mind... Not saying I HAVEN'T been 3 years into the future, but let's just say, the new Star Wars movies are amazing... The Raiders are moving to Frankfort, Kentucky.

#7 The Toy Story characters used to drop to the ground when a guest yelled,."Andy's coming!" but the practice was stopped when the joke became famous on the internet. Now the handler simply says, "Andy left for college."

Oh my god! When will this shit stop? How many times do we need to hear that this was never actually a thing? I actually spoke to a cast member who essentially said that a character MAY have done it once, but it was never a "thing". Say what you want to deny it. If you still believe it you are a moron... annnnnd I mean that in the nicest possible way.  Here is my proof. Google image search of "Disney toy story characters "Andy's coming".
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME FREAKING PICTURE!! If this was a "thing"... for even a day... Hell, even an hour... Why aren't there more pictures? Please, for the love of Mickey, stop reposting this shit!

#8 From a certain angle, the statue of Walt Disney looks like he has an erection.

Wh-? What the hell? Who would even think of this?

This is what the Partners statue in Disneyland looks like,
Here is another angle...

Huh...

Alright, I will give that one to them... Kinda creepy, but I will buy it. True... but reaching...just like Walt!

#9 Up to 200 feral cats live at Disneyland. They are tolerated because they erradicate rats and mice on the property.

With the exception of  "eradication" spelled incorrectly, I know for a fact that this one is very true! You can occasionally see them out during the day, but, likes the freaks, they come out at night. I have had a couple of chances to see them in action. Once from our balcony when we were staying at the Grand Californian with a view of Downtown Disney, and this one during Minnie's Moonlit Maddness, stalking around the entrance to Adventureland.

Here is a nice article about them.

Annnnnd here is their instagram!! Ooooooh! Adorable... just like me!

Last one for today!

#10 Doritos were invented at Disneyland

This one is SO false! I... what? It's true??? Aw crap! It is, apparently true. I can't. I just can't.

Casa de Fritos? Formerly located where Rancho Del Zocalo is now, the Casa de Fritos was a quaint little Mexican restaurant wich served the VERY authentic Fritos Corn Chips. It even had an animatronic character named the Frito Kid who would dispense bags of Fritos for a nickle. The story goes, one day a chef at the restaurant tried to do something with the extra tortillas they had left over. He cut them, fried them and put some seasoning on them. And that, kids, is how Doritos are born.

Came across a list of discontinued Doritos flavors... Wanna hear some?
2nd Degree Burn Firey Buffalo
Ketchup
Pepper Bacon
Extreme Kickin' Chili
Salsa!
Jacked Enchilada Supreme

Just as a general rule... Avoid any food that has the term "Jacked" in it... Also, avoid guys named after cheeses and anyone wearing a turtleneck.

That's it for today. The record stands at 8 out of 10 are true, so far... 8-2

What does tomorrow have on tap? Gum, Grey Stuff, explosions, bridges and gold. Intrigued? Me too!

Stay Dorky!

P.S. I've missed this...

P.P.S. Did the American Idol finally air? I know, right? Can you believe that guy or girl won? I was surprised too...
