SECTUAL

I shit you not.

Sometimes I randomly remember this.

Disney World, 2009...

My boyfriend and I get in line at Splash Mountain, but the thing is, there's no line. It's deserted, but supposedly open. We get our parkas and proceed through the maze of railing where people would typically be waiting.

We're standing there waiting for the ride, remarking about how weird it is that we're the only people there, and we honestly didn't think it was really open. Every ride we had been to previously had normal lines, but not this one.

Then we heard a few voices approaching. Two older men came up behind us, and they were cutting up together seeming to have a great time. They looked vaguely familiar, especially one of them. He had those big white veneer "TV presenter" teeth.

So we get on the ride in the front row, and the two men get in the third row behind us. 

When the ride is over, we go into the exit area where the pictures are available for purchase, and one of the two men says, "You're gonna wanna keep those pictures!" BF and I just look at each other like "WTF?"

Couple days later, we're watching TV at the hotel room (Hard Rock), and we see VP Joe Biden on TV and look at each other like "OMG, it's him!" He was one of the older men with us on Splash Mountain.

I dunno, maybe you got the parkas after you got in line, not before. That's kinda hazy but I just remember all 4 of us were wearing the parkas, lol.

They always clear out the area whenever there's a president or VP around though. When Bush stopped by Seaside, FL in the early 2000s, they did this weird thing where they cleared everyone out and put a few secret service agents in disguises. They'd circle the sidewalks in a big loop dressed up like old people with canes and shit.

I randomly saw Bill Clinton giving a speech at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in 2011. A couple blocks away, there were shitloads of people on the sidewalk. But approaching the MOMA, it suddenly became deserted. As I was walking by, I looked through the windows and there was Clinton standing at a podium giving a speech. I took out my phone to get a picture and a guard with this huge gun steps up to the window, locks eyes with me and just wags his finger at me. Lol, so I put it away and stared a little more and then proceeded on.

I was surprised that Clinton didn't look like a very big guy. Apparently he's like 6'2" but he certainly didn't look it.

Poor Joe... he looked so much healthier just 15 short years ago. Time really does a number on you after 65. It's really sad.

LOL. "Ridin' Splash Mountin with Biden".

I wonder if the Disney World perverts intentionally named the ride "Splash" Mountain.
