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.

Yes...it's completely insane. But it does have that weird smell.

Here's hoping no one bids!
The bullets from the JC are a different story, however. I'd like on of those!!!

(Personally, I think the picture which is being referenced to here was
saying that cow was a smart @$$...dum dum chink!)
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.

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....
Are you starting a "Waters Of Disneyland" collection? You could have Small
World, Matterhorn, Splash Mtn., drinking fountains, toilet water, etc...
Pure sickness.....
Don't give her any ideas...
Suprise, suprise....
At the recent NFFC convention imagineer Bruce Gordon brought in buckets of dirt
and concrete from the Autopia construction to give away to all the
conventioneers. Bruce always has some weird stuff to hand out to fellow
Diznoids. We all lined up to to get out little baggie of dirt, or "dirt bags"
as Bruce called them. Along with a "certificate of authenticity". <G> I have
mine. It's right on the chest behind where I'm now sitting. (Sometimes I
wonder about myself <G>)
Hey, maybe I SHOULD buy that bottle of smelly watter. ;-)

Whoa! I wish I had known you were there! That was me over there on the camera
at the right side of the auditorium! (facing the stage).....Dang! Oh well,
hope to see you next year!

LOL! Yeah, when I wrote this I knew there would be some other people on this
newsgroups that were there. Yep, I'll probably be there next year. We gotta
say "Hi" next time.
