Four Score And Seven Years - a photo on Flickriver

            Thats how long it took me to complete this set!  Four Score and Seven Years ago I started collecting the Disney Park Starz Series 1 Vinylmations!  Being a mystery series, you do NOT know which of the 12 you are going to get.  I had them all EXCEPT honest Abe here.  Everytime I'd go to Disneyland, I'd stop at D Street and pick up one of the tins containing these cool collectibles and everytime I'd get out the door, open it up ... JOSE the bird from the Tiki Room!!!  I must of gotten about 100 of them.  Wellllll, on December 30th as I was skipping up Down Town Disney, I tripped and fell.  Stunned, I layed there arms sprawled, goodies from my bag all around me.  I cried a little and this little kid came up to me and asked me if I need help.  With my arm around his shoulder I stood up, my eyes blinking through the tears.  As I looked around to see if anyone was watching (they were) my eyes happened upon a vinylmation trader about 10 feet from me and next to him ... Abe!  I pushed the little kid out of my way, he sprawled, arms out, goodies from his bag all over the place!  I ran to the trader who was 10 feet away.  Out of breath I asked, wanna trade Mr. Lincoln for Jose the Tiki Room Bird?  Silence.  My mind raced as to how I was gonna snatch Abe and make a run for it.  Just as I was making a plan to chuck Jose at his eye and blind him, he said yes!  I grabbed Abe close and hugged him.  Thank you thank you I cried.  I carefully placed him in my back pack and left.

And that is how I had my Great Moment With Mr. Lincoln.
