When he was little we took him to Disneyland Paris and he fell in love with Chip from Chip and Dale....

He followed them around got their autographs and was besotted with Chip...he didn't like Dale

Upon leaving we went to the giftshop to buy him a cuddly chip toy, only they were all out of Chips and only had Dales left.

So I bought the Dale and told him it was Chip .....the difference is in colour of their nose

For years and years this soft toy has been his bedtime companion he still cuddles it now......

Then on Thursday he went to the Disney shop with his girlfriend to buy her baby cousin a present and he wanted suggested a Chip

'Marty Marty Marty Marty' ha ha ha

BibiBlocksberg · 28/10/2012 18:47

I have tears in my eyes after literally roaring with laughter @ 'my whole life is a lie'

Sorry to sound uncaring here but that's dramatics that only a 19 year could conjure

PMSL at marty. And the hamster. And police dog.

Ace!

Just drying my eyes after the camel going "My humps, my lovely humps"!

ScarahStratton · 28/10/2012 18:31

ROARED at 'Marty, marty' marty'.

Tried it out on Fat Fred, he just looked at me like this:

Well, the stuff about haggiseses (haggii?) is true.

My dad told me that the cats' eyes were turned on in front of the car by a gang of veeeeery small men running along underneath the road, and turned off behind it by another gang of little men. He wouldn't lie to me.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 28/10/2012 18:03

chub my goldfish never grew. I'll interrogate my dad tonight. He can't lie as well as my mum. I hope its not true. Police dog was far enough

DizzyHoneyBee · 28/10/2012 18:01

MeanandMeasly, that's a classic
Signet, sorry but I told my 7 year old that today and got a withering look along with a "don't be so silly" ;)

Chubfuddler · 28/10/2012 17:59

We had goldfish that lived for 11 years vthey were huge. My mum was a nurse. There's no way she was lying to spare our feelings. Nurses don't do that stuff.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 28/10/2012 17:54

signet I had fish that lived for a strangely long time! they weren't the same fish were they?! Why the fuck have I only just realised this now?

Dad is coming round now so I will be questioning him! Seriously can fish live for years? Like at least 5 or 6? Just normal goldfish?

Signet2012 · 28/10/2012 17:53

He also told me haggis was little goats type animals that lives high in the Scottish hills. Hills so pointy that you can't stand on them. When I asked how the haggis stood he told me their right legs where shorter than their left legs.

I believed that until I was 27. The look of delight on dp face as I matter of factory informed him of the haggis goats.

I'm too gullible.

Signet2012 · 28/10/2012 17:49

I once told my dp that my hamster had lives for 11 years. Dp told me that was impossible so I got all the pics out and showed him "Sid" who lived until I was 15.

He went on the Internet to peovee wrong so next time I was at my dads I asked my dad to put him right.

Turns out Sid was actually about 6 versions. Each time it died they replaced the bloody thing. Until I found it dead myself.

I'm at the amount of people I have proudly announced to about that bloody hamster.

BeingBooyhoo · 28/10/2012 17:45

Chubfuddler · 28/10/2012 17:40

Marty Marty Marty

Arf. Funniest thing on MN for many a day.

FrankensteinWippery · 28/10/2012 17:37

I'm surprised you have been brave enough to start a thread about this. Undeniably cruel. He will be scarred for life. How can you sleep?

Groovee · 28/10/2012 17:33

Awww poor boy :-(

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/10/2012 17:22

Just tell him
"well at least I didn't buy you a Dale Wilton doll " and let him deal with it.

But I am deeply ashamed of your dreadful lying tendancies too.

MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges · 28/10/2012 17:17

My parents told me that my dad used to be a stripper. I believed them until I was about 28. Their Laughter faded a bit when they realised that I'd told all my friends, whose parents were their friends!

WofflingOn · 28/10/2012 15:26

House martins are birds. Pine martens are large members of the weasel family.
I wonder if there's a pinemarten pokemon? That would say 'Marty Marty Marty'

Superabound · 28/10/2012 15:14

I thought a pine marten was a bird

WofflingOn · 28/10/2012 14:47

Happy to help!
Here's a very annoyed pine marten

VerityClinch · 28/10/2012 14:42

And breathe...

VerityClinch · 28/10/2012 14:42

Well that's just the point, isn't it, I DON'T KNOW WHAT FUCKING SOUND A PINE MARTIN MAKES DO I?

It sure as hell doesn't go Marty Marty Marty Marty though.

Stupid stoat/weasel/ferret type thing.

TheHairyDieter · 28/10/2012 14:28

Then when he saw the Chip and they Dale he said 'this shop has chip and dale mixed up'

That is so tragic . I do feel guilty for laughing, though...

TomsBentPinky · 28/10/2012 14:26

This really cheered me up.

Marty
