Time for a real Mickey Mouse government "Mickey Mouse, arguably Florida's most famous celebrity, turned 75 yesterday. "For many years he has been the public spokesmouse of arguably the most powerful company in the entertainment industry, an empire that affects a significant portion of the state's economy. "He may have the most recognizable face in the world. And while the company he fronts has gone on to wide success, he hasn't had a hit movie since 1947. "Can a political post be far away?"

You have no idea how much that cost me...
Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :
cost you?

Well as a [native] Califorian I know a few that would take objection to saying Mickey resides only in FL. On the other hand maybe he should run for the Governorship of Florida and California simultaneously. Then he'd have a near total monopoly on costal sunshine states!

I had a lot more material than would comfortably fit, and some of the edits hurt. Ah, well. I'll put 'em in the director's cut.

Maybe he doesn't live here exclusively, but I think it's obvious that Florida is his primary residence. He certainly leaves his stuff all over the place here.

He grew up in California, but he moved to Florida.
Would you want to stay at DisneyLand when DisneyWorld is SOOOO much bigger?
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Size isn't everything.

So your original draft did slam Celebration?

WHAT?!!!!
Do you mean Mickey Mouse isn't already Govenor in Florida?
How about the power behind the thrown?
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
Well Dan, I guess it would be interesting to have your governor thrown around. There are enough Florida Marlins pitchers and a pretty good catcher that could supply the power.
