Scottye spits fire. 35:46 yes <p>This week, it's all about everyone's favorite dragon and his unfavorite attraction, Journey Into Your Imagination With Figment. After a brief history lesson, Jim brings to the table an attraction to both shame and celebrate the rest of Future World as he mocks as many attractions as possible before a grand (and miraculous) reveal. Then, Scottye misremembers the closing of the original attraction in 1998 as "sometime in the 90s" and makes even the Carousel Of Progress seem timely as he introduces the world to MC Fig (and his dope, dope rhymes). </p> <p><em>Note: There is at least some chance there will be no episode next week due to Scottye being trapped in a maternity ward. It might be next week, it'll probably be before the end of the season. We here at Opposite Attractions apologize in advance for his inability to keep his hands to himself nine or so months ago.
