tous Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Don't know. I have never seen a Harry Potter film or read a Harry Potter book. Has Harry Potter ever stayed at a Holiday Inn Express? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 There were a lot of these signs around this hotel. I was amused. After dark, I was strolling around (I've been told I "saunter"), smoking. There used to be this side-entrance, around the Crackwhore Barrel, but they had it blocked off with jersey barriers. I decided to stroll down there. I didn't get far. On the hotel side, some Fred Sanford pickup truck skidded-up, and this 4' Mr. T jumped out, with a 4" star-badge on a lanyard around his neck. He rushed me. (there was a second guy in the truck. He got out, but stood behind the open door.) I was unarmed (had several knives (work)), but I turned sideways, and I guess, made the right stance, because he stopped dead. Started yelling at me. He wanted my name. And if I was in the hotel, my room number. I wasn't about to give him either. I told him he could go and wait for me in the lobby. He yapped, yapped, yapped, until I was finished, and didn't follow me into the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 I went out later, and Fred pulled up, and apologized, and wanted to make sure, "We cool." I got over it pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Huaco has no hijinks, only lowjinks. Sometimes jinks in between high and low. He is rarely jinkless. Resist the urge to alter common words with and substitute an x or a z for an s, young'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 You think that Huaco has ever trespassed there whilst sauntering for a smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 I suspect Mr. T, and his agency, were responsible for ordering and posting the signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'll bet they stuff the mail-slot with 1000 letters, every day, at Privet Drive (it's a movie thing). At the Breaking Bad house, they had to 6' fence the whole property off, because people kept throwing pizza on the roof and taking selfies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Why would anyone throw a perfectly good pizza on a roof? Don't they know that you're supposed to eat them, not use them as a Frisbee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 I went to The Christmas Story house. I guess no one bothers it. I looked in the mailbox, fully expecting to find a decoder pin. I was disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 The christmas house is a tour now. It wasn't open when I was there. There's still the shed in the back, with a metal sign nailed to the door. And The Lamp in the front window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they gambled with all the money they could beg or borrow and renovated it to look like the movie and open it to tourists. They are making a lot of money from it now. Good for them, I say. I'd like to go tour it myself one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 They said it's a great tour. The kitchen is all wrecked, with a thanksgiving platter all over the floor. And the pink bunny suit is halfway stuffed under the bed. And the fifty-outlet wall plug is all burnt up. They said someone even clangs pipes in the basement, and makes black smoke come out of the heater vents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 I worked with a guy that said his nephew was the Santa "elf" in the movie. He got paid for a day's work, no royalties at all. He felt gypped, after a while. Then he got, himself, the original elf girl, the original Santa, the original Wicked Witch, the original goggle-kid, and they'd rent a big part of the mall and re-create the whole thing every year. He said they did it for a long time and made big bank. And you could have Santa boot your face down the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
