I just realized ... I am from Tampa and have lived within 90 minutes of Disney World my entire life and have only been to Disney World that one time when I was six.
Mom wouldn't even let me go for Prom Night and I never understood why.

In the movie "Back to the Future", didn't Marty McFly use this trick on his father? You know, the scene where he dresses up in his radiation suit and says he is "Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan" and that if his father doesn't ask his mother out to the prom that he would melt his brain with Van Halen music. Worked for him.
But, I have to agree, the Barney music is definitely up there with thumb screws and bamboo under the finger nails.

They don't like metal? Black album Metallica isn't nothin. Give them the OLD Metallica. Or Iron Maiden. Or Slayer. Or give them live Ted Nugent...make sure they hear Tedly yapping before the songs...

Trust me, it works, says one U.S. operative.I'll bet it does! It would sure as hell work on me. I would be screaming and singing like a canary after about 15 minutes of The Barney Song. Of course that brand of torture goes well beyond pulling out fingernails and electro-shock techniques, so it's not for the weak stomached observers.

Well, terrorists did not sign on to the Geneva Convention, so this is fair game.

I think there needs to be a Viking Kitties II with "Ride of the Valkyries" as its theme.
Wouldn't that be cool?
