Disney is planning to build a new theme park in Montana. It will supposedly be the first theme park to feature a genuine black hole, once the Disney Imagineers find a way of implementing it so that the critics can’t say “It sucks.” ---

Brendan Walt grew up as part of the Belfast School of Cinema, and was active as a director in the years shortly after the First World War. He was an unpopular director to work for, and notoriously hard on his actors. This lead to an in-joke in the Irish movie industry: _Who likes actors? Walt Disnae!_ In 1921, disillusioned with his lack of success in Belfast, and upset by the disdain in which he was held, Walt emigrated to Hollywood. There he came up with a novel idea to address his difficulties with actors - he would replace them with drawings! In doing so he invented animation; and at the same time he adopted the new name Walt Disnae to distance himself from his earlier live action work. The name was later adapted to Disney, which Americans found easier to pronounce. The new venture and new identity were a big success! j In case of dialect mystification, click here: disnae, pronounced disney = “does not” ---

Ethel Gnostavilla was an early proponent of dialect mystification. In 1798 she mystified all 230 dialects of Spanish in the 7 co-nefluous states into 1 single homogenous micro-dialect - a feat for which she was awarded the 1799 Grootch-Hurble prize. ---

No one else has ever won the 1799 Grootch-Hurble prize. Oh, Orson Bean was in consideration for it, and Kevin Bacon knew someone who knew someone who knew someone who knew someone, but it bottomed out. ---

Of course, we all know the theory that Kevin Bacon can be linked to any other movie actor in six steps or fewer. What few people know is that it has been proven, by way of a clever combination of advanced algorithms run on supercomputers, misheard song lyrics, and incoherent dreams, that Bacon can be linked to anyone else with a food-related name in five steps or fewer. ---

_Incoherent Dreams_ opened for _The Bacon Brothers_ in 1998. The group was a trio consisting of Leonard “Malefactor” Humperdinck (guitar, vocals), Enya Kookaburra (backing vocals, bikini) and Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovsky (tambourine, nose flute, glockenspiel, cocaine). The group won the right to tour with the Bacon Brothers in a poker game. Cheating may have been involved. ---

Actor Jim Rash prepared for his role as Dean Craig Pelton on the sitcom _Community_ by working full-time for a year as the dean of a small, below-mediocre community college in Wisconsin. His term there was so successful that the school offered to hire him permanently at a generous salary, which he seriously considered. However, contractual obligations brought him back to the world of television acting. ---
