Found them in this description of an incident at Disney World:

In 1976, a woman filed a lawsuit claiming one of the Three Little Pigs ran up to her at the “it’s a small world” attraction, grabbed at and fondled her, while exclaiming “Mommy! Mommy!” She claimed to have gained 50 pounds as a result of the incident, and sued Disney for $150,000 in damages for assault and battery, false imprisonment, and humiliation. The plaintiff dropped charges after Disney’s lawyers presented her with a photo of the costume, which had only inoperable stub arms.

The Wikipedia page for “Incidents at Disney Parks” is quite a list of idiots and heart conditions

Later!

as in “What the hell is going on‽”

it combines the functions of an exclamation point and a question mark. I think it also makes a killer band name, kind of like that new band !!! (chk, chk, chk). Interrobang should play metal. And they might need an umlaut thrown in there somewhere.

Interrobang

Later‽
