WTF Disney: Disneyland’s ‘Goof Ball’ walk-around character, 1993.
(As if the whole thing weren’t creepy enough, why is his hat a snake?!)
I wanted to learn more about this image… but there is nothing.
A search for “Goofy Golf Ball” “Goof Ball” and “Goofy Golf Ball Snake” and all variations thereof lead to links about halloween costumes and actual golf balls featuring Goofy.
So I searched the Disney wiki… and…
There is no 1993 variant of the character, much less one fused with a golfball.
And a reverse google search?
Four freakin results… one from twitter, the rest originating in some form to this very post! The biggest one? The one I’m reblogging right now!
What are you!? Why do you have a snake for a hat?! Are those arms or ears of flippers!
This image exists… that much is true… but the contents held within… doesn’t…
This is a window into an alternate timeline, a reality suggestive of our own but different… wrong…
A cursed image in it’s truest form, censored not only by the Walt Disney Company but by reality itself.
By pure coincidence, the right zeroes and ones that form our reality have manifested in this collection of pixels, seemingly presenting a moment from the not so distant past, but a past which is almost, but not quite, completely alien to our own.
I FOUND HIM
I FOUND THE GOOF
he’s apparently from a 1992 Disneyland parade called ‘The World According to Goofy’ which. still explains very little but at least he’s THERE
anyway you can see Proof Of His Existence here: https://youtu.be/-zerX9hNNW0?t=4m7s
okay, but i think we’re all sleeping on the fact that in sort-of solving one mystery, we have opened countless others
what are these beings supposed to represent? did we find a grainy home video from another plane of reality? deliver us the truth
OP here! Quick bit of backdtory:
I scanned the original pic from an old issue of Storyboard Magazine. It was featured in an article about the Grand Opening of Disneyland’s Toontown.
There, among a large photo spread of buildings, fountains and rides that would never open and/or close almost immediately, was a photo the ‘Goof Ball’. What’s more, the photo named him: Goofball!
Every other walk-around character they brought out for the ribbon-cutting was your average, everyday Mickey, Minnie, Donald, etc. And then there was the Goofball.
Someone in costuming was a genius that day.
Oh, and that ‘World According to Goofy’ parade is a treasure trove of WTF Disney riches. Take, for instance, this photo of ‘Clarapatra: Cow of the Nile’…
It’s madness, but I LOVE IT!!!
Send a character + outfit + accessory. Feel free to use and reblog, but please do not repost!
I made a new one. I hope you all like it!
As
of April, 59% of U.S. adults who are eligible to vote are Gen Xers, Millennials
or “post-Millennials.” Yet if past midterm election turnout patterns hold true,
these younger Americans are unlikely
to cast the majority of votes this November.
Time to break the mold! This year, everyone votes!
The only (peaceful) way to keep Trump and the Republicans in check, is to vote.
If you’re not voting against these people then you’re voting for them. You can’t bitch about what Trump is doing to this country if you’re not even attempting to do something about it.
listen i say this every time i see a voting post, but if there’s a barrier that keeps you from physically voting (like, you go to college in a different place than your permanent address, you have work/school, you’re home with kids, you’re disabled, etc) YOU CAN GET A MAIL IN BALLOT.
It’s called “absentee voting”, and over half of states don’t even require any sort of documentation for you to get one. You can literally just. Request one. And then you can vote by mail ahead of time, saving yourself So. Much. Stress.
[info on how to get an absentee ballot in each state]
Oregon has mail in ballots for everyone, and we consistently have high voter turn out, which is why I spread this info, every chance I can.
Note: Also, technically your employer has to give you a couple hours off on election day if you’re working more than a certain number of hours, but losing paid hours isn’t an option for a lot of people. So get on that absentee request!
