Interesting factoid – You can’t libel the dead, legally speaking, in the United States – you can say whatever bad things about them you want, in a non-commercial context. However, the estate can sue for infringement on publicity rights if the defamation is in a commercial context, in this case not for Steamboat Willy (who, as noted, is in the public domain) but for Disney himself. Of course, as Strod and Entranced Cat mention, this is really unlikely.
I had a coworker 20 years back who always smelled REALLY bad, except the few weeks a year when his girlfriend was visiting from overseas. When he finally got a job elsewhere, I cleaned out his desk, and it was full of soap and shampoo…
Having just come off of a month of our boy scout troop selling Christmas trees, that’s the wrong knot, anyway. He should have used a trucker’s hitch… best hitch for tying down loads securely. I’ve tied >800 trees to roofs, and never lost one, using that knot, including in highway driving.
We have wild turkeys here in Tennessee, and they do OK. I wonder if the domesticated ones have had intelligence bred out of them (certainly true for many other domesticated livestock).
