Yet another casualty (on the long list of them) has gone seemingly unnoticed. Movieland Wax Museum closed its doors on October 31st. Our friend "the Reverend" tells me he attended a High School event with his (future) wife there back in the 80's (back when local cover bands were playing Duran Duran etc - because it was the hottest thing). Closing also is... believe it or not... Ripley's Believe it or Not. Granted, probably most of us haven't been there in a little while... but we would've... if we thought we could go without becoming targets of derision because of it (they, of course, had a wax replication of the Starship Enterprise and its cast - which some of us will make bids on).
How people can't see the connection with ARNR and their types to all this is beyond me. They mock all the things we like including: True Liberty (Libertyland closes); Coasters (Astroworld Closes); Family fun, Star Trek, and Duran Duran (Movieland Wax Museum closes); Real, documented, stories and facts (Ripley's Believe it or Not closes).
Buena Park will never be the same and neither will we. If ARNR isn't stopped we could potentially see Wax Museums closing everywhere.

Damn does it never end? Now I need more serum!
Katie, shoots some in the IV
That's too bad about the Ripley's Museum. That place was really cool.

I actually had some better links to add to this but while I was prepping it the whole thing went down. I think I was sabotaged by ARNR.

Wax museums are lame and sick and should all be closed. Arn&r might be doing a public service with this one.
I'm with anonymous. Please bury Wax Museums and ALSO Duran Duran for good.
Weekly
Duran Duran gone? OMG Weekly, you need a serum shot!
Katie, who is concerned.
Hey now! You better not bash our band, Weekly dude.
Duran Duran saved the lives of cool, hip peeps like the Rev and I. We are still cool, we tease our hair with Aquanet.
At least they are cooler than some of those so-called CD's my friends here at AAAN&R found when they broke into your car.
Duran Duran was THEE band. Look how sane the Rev and I turned out.
Wow! The serum is working!
Times to play more Boils games.....

We actually have plans to open an Absolutely Reliable Wax Museum in sunny Guam, which we predict to be the next huge tourist hotspot.
The museum, to be underwritten by Halliburton, will feature lifelike replicas of the ACE administration and an entire room dedicated to AAARNR statues, many of which will have some clothing on, though some, it must be admitted, will have only fanny packs. The final room on the tour will be that featuring the staff and editors of ARN&R in action shots in front of actual functioning computers.
There will also be gravy.

We don't want no stinkin ARN&R wax museum! Even if AAARN&Rers are featured.
We're against such things!

You can run the gift shop, Funky.
Katie can run the infimary.
AA can run...um, something. How do you feel about an exciting career as a museum guard, AA?
Of all the low-down, condescending things to say to me. I'm a graduate of Bakersfield College. I have an AA degree which is one of the reasons I go by "AA." No, I will not have any part in this museum, unless it's staging regular protests outside.
AA
Dude, like... the link doesn't work
Try it now. I also added other links I intended to add before the site was sabotoged by ARNR.
AA
ok thanks.
Given your impressive resume, how about curator, AA?
I have enough to run, no thanks on your job offer arnr.
Katie, serum lady.
NO, ARNR. NO NO NO.
NOW LEAVE ME ALONE while I prepare for my review article of the "Revenge of the Sith" DVD release. Something else YOU don't care about.
AA
Hey now, I like the idea of an ARN&R Wax Museum!
As long as they play Duran Duran instead of Musack.
