I wish you the best of luck cashing in on Disneyland craziness!!!

As a former DL Jungle Cruise skipper, I've stockpiled a huge jar full of
spent "bullets" from shooting hippos (one for every trip I took).

As a complete joke, I posted an eBay listing, selling the bullets for $10
EACH.

I had one buyer.

P.T. Barnham was right.

I have tried to transport rain water from North Dakota to California because I
love it so much. After a day in a container, pure rain water stinks to HIGH
heavens!! I can imagine the bacteria brewing inside these PotC vials. Unless
you add something to inhibit algae and boogers and microwhatevers, you may as
well be buying slime on the inside of your toilet tank.

The bullets from the JC are a different story, however. I'd like on of those!!!

Not more then someone who would buy it.

It was a joke when I did it...but it WILL be interesting to see if it sells.
It's more of a culturial ebay experiment. And I'm only selling it $0.50 over
how much I paid for the water bottle itself. I said $5 shipping because I guess
that will be how much 24oz of water will actually cost to ship (I don't
know....I hardly sell on ebay).

And actually, since having posted it, I actually can figure out some uses for
this strange and delightful water. Possible uses:

1) If you had a fishbowl you could fill it with the water and put a pirate ship
in it

2) You could give it to Mr Pressler

3) You could put it in a bucket of water and soak your feet in it
(ahhhhh.....I'm an imagineer mainataing pirates....arggggg!)

4) Clean your ex-girlfriend's (or boyfriend's) contact lenses with it

5) Mix it with Kool-Aid for "Pirate Punch" at a party where everyone is really
drunk

Actually, JJ if you think about it, it IS really funny. Really. Get a sense of
humor.

Well, I have several bottles of various waters from many Disney rivers and
attractions. And, many of them are well over four years old and still not
generating fungus, mold, or otherwise. All the gunk has settled to the bottom
and the water, in and of itself, is relatively clear. Not that I would drink
it, mind you. What I do is mix it together and use it for watercolor painting
when I do artwork of the park. Seriously.

Yeah, someone (with the fundage) should buy it for 10 grand, just to make an
issue of it =0 I'm sure that within 2 days you'd see at least 30 bottles of
Disneyland water with 1000 dollar reserve prices.

Ado Worf... wow haven't seen you in a long time.

Actually, I was thinking that if this guy makes more than fifty cents on
reselling PotC water, I imagine he'll be hearing from Disney. Now, I wonder if
selling the watercolor drawings made with PotC water would or not...

Sorta weird to think about resale values of such a thing.

They aren't sold. Basically, they are my own stuff in my private collection.
Most of them are studies and concepts in design. Some of them were used in
classes of environmental design and such.....nothing major.

I'm not the first, either. Got the idea from another artist I know. And, the
Imagineers, themselves, have been known to draw water from the various rivers
and flumes to place in study models they have built of that attraction to add a
touch of "realism"..there was a story about the Jungle Cruise and this that I
recall....

It's Freaking water for goodness sake. Just get a fog machine. It has the same
smell as POTC.

Are you starting a "Waters Of Disneyland" collection? You could have Small
World, Matterhorn, Splash Mtn., drinking fountains, toilet water, etc...

Pure sickness.....

LOL! Yeah, when I wrote this I knew there would be some other people on this
