I like Steve Buscemi. Y'know, he was a fireman in Manhattan for four years and helped out at Ground Zero after the Twin Towers were attacked.

His movie roles are something else, but he sure does a good job portraying them!

Hopefully his character in Sopranos isn't killed off!

Alleged perp . . .

That's exactly what I said!

In my house, Steve Buscemi is a rare phenomenon: the Instant Remote Control Stopper. We can channel-surf until our thumbs are blue, but when we see Buscemi, the remote stops and we watch whatever it is.

I love the guy.

One of my faves:

I have yet to see Buscemi in something I don't like him in. Fargo ruled.

Armageddon would have been a cool effects movie, except for that uber-stupid Liv Tyler subplot. I know, I know, allegedly chicks won't go see an action flick without a love story, but I swear, during the scene when Ben Affleck is walking animal crackers on Liv's stomach, if I'd been a diabetic I would have gone into a coma.

Yep, Buscemi is real FDNY. He said the only way to get the rush he got from jumping into a burning building was to go on stage.

but Tigger? Who can you trust?

Well I was always suspicious about his "bouncing" on the other characters.

When I was at Disneyland for my first wedding anniversary I was disappointed that Goofy left directly before getting a picture with him. But, Pluto gave me the biggest hug for the picture. My husband said he knows Pluto was just trying to feel me up. I always laughed about it, but now that we know about Tigger....

I know that this guys looks like a real creepy guy, but have you seriously thought about the size of the paws on that cosutme. It doesn't seem to me that he could even grab anything with it on. Perhaps his "paw" just came to rest in the wrong location while posing for the picture.

A similar case a few decades back is profiled on Snopes, but it looks like this one might be legit.

I worked for Disneyland a couple years ago, and there are some very suspicious characters (costumed and otherwise) employed there. One guy in particular that I knew was always staring at and talking to children. He wouldn't even acknowledge the adults. I heard that management talked to him a few times, but as far as I know, he's still there.
