NASA Sent Bumby the Manatee into Space!!!

Hey everyone! A few weeks back I saw advertisements from NASA on sending your name and picture into outer space! I thought this would be a great way to immortalize Bumby the Manatee! So I entered Bumby and NASA accepted him! I think he might be even the first cartoon character to be sent into space this way! Here is the certificate NASA gave me proving that Bumby is in SPACE!!

A Flock of Seagulls

Ok, just bringing back an idea (for filler) of two seagulls who hang out at the parks making comments toward the tourist & events with the occasional swooping down to steal food from unsuspecting patrons. ..this is influenced by the Fantasyland birds who harass guests daily, also it's a tribute to Statler and Waldorf who heckle the proceeding in "The Muppet Show " I don't know if this sticks around but i thought it was funny concept.. Yes, the birds are bit self indulgent, named after Lavalle & I (Lester the fat one on right & Lee the Skinny one on left) but I thought other birds make an appearance on rooftops with them... & they be named after all you guys who contributed.... for instance a redbird named Kerry ETC. ETc. Etc. (this your shot to voice a character & let er rip on tourists) name your bird....

Games people play

This concept from writer Myke Herlihy of the opening gag/vignette for the episode "Escape from Crackerland" where an obnoxious kid keeps squirting guest at one of those water pistol games (Ya know, where you blow up the balloons til they pop) .. Jay who working the games tells him to stop/ cut it out.... the boy ignores his warning 'til Jay has had enough... & starts using his head for target practice ... shooting water into his mouth until it starts shooting from his ears..& his cheeks start to expand like a balloon. Kaley working another game yells at Jay to "Stop" Jay in his most sarcastic tone tells her " he can't not until its about to Pop" .
