Breaking news

Dr. Grumpy's crack team of reporters continue to bring you the stories that shape your world.

The summer amusement park season is upon us, and unfortunately tragedy has already struck at America's most legendary one.

This past Friday night 17 people, including 6 innocent children, were enjoying an up-till-then fun day at Disneyland. They were standing near Sleeping Beauty's castle when they were horrifically splattered with a large volume of bird poop from a passing flock of geese.

An unidentified bystander, who apparently doesn't know shit, called 911 to report that someone was throwing human turds at people.

This resulted in a city HazMat team being dispatched to the scene, hopefully in those bright yellow suits so people would think they were re-enacting a child alert from Monsters, Inc.

The crappy situation was resolved by taking the victims to a "private restroom" (what does that mean, anyway? No one has used it since Walt died, like the room over the fire station?). There they were provided with clean clothes ("Birds shit on me at Disneyland and all I got was this crappy T-shirt").

At press time the geese were unavailable for comment.

Orange County is full of these undocumented alien Canada geese. Build a wall!

This is why I go to Dr G's site. You can't find this news anywhere else.

Hide and watch. Before it's all over with, someone will be suing Disney for not protecting them from the geese.

Maybe it's time for Donald Duck to start wearing pants.

Worst of all, this made them lose their place in line for the Guardians of the Galaxy ride.

Maybe "private restroom" = Tarzan's Treehouse?

We need a cottage industry to start marketing something along the lines of easily portable all condition, all-weather hand-operated mechanical handheld aerial protection devices in Disneyland-themed colors.

Suspiciously enough, the geese appeared to have been fed a diet of nothing but boysenberries...
