Where ever I am, people think I know what's going on & ask me questions. "Excuse me, can you give me directions to this place?" or "Do you know where I can find this?".

As an example, while waiting in line for the Tikiroom anniversary people would walk up, ignore every one else in line, & ask me "Why are you all waiting in line?" After about the 1st 20 times I was tired of answering why (especially since no one believed me) & the answers began getting stranger: "This is the line for the Matterhorn","This is the line to meet Roy Disney","This is the line to buy Marie Osmonds new christmas ornament","We're waiting for the parade to start","We're waiting to meet the Doobie Brothers","There's a new Walt Disney story with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, & we're waiting to be the 1st to see it","There's a new Tikiroom theme restaurant, & we're trying to get souveneir menus"... No matter how strange my answer, they believed it more than "I'm waiting to get a limited edition tiki mug from the Enchanted Tikiroom".

There was a documentary film maker there to document how much people like Shag, and HE didn't believe I was just there to buy the mug & that I didn't care that it was a Shag limited edition. He wanted me to say how much I loved Shag & only left when I told him I'd still say I'm only here to buy the mug, no matter who designed it.
