FANTASMIC

Something so wonderfully fantastic it makes your soul orgasm.

Care for examples? Tea with exponential amounts of honey, laughing so hard you snort, cry, AND pee your pants, and wearing candy necklaces in public.

This is one of those words that I refrain from saying in public places because talking about things that make my soul orgasm isn't particularly classy. BUT WAIT, as it so happens, Fantasmic! was the name of a Disney show in Disneyland... it had fireworks, live actors, water effects, boats, and acrobatics. Not every day a word you avoid using because its not quite G rated turns out to be the name of a critically acclaimed children's show.

Not that Disney was ever really G rated . . . A Disney children's film from the 70s, Pete's Dragon, included a bar scene with gaggles of men smoking cigars and drinking until they wobble and faint, and the one's who haven't fallen to the floor start grabbing at a lady. The movie also stars a cartoon dragon who only speaks in gibberish and clicking noises.

Penny for your thoughts?
