text: why did everybody get so happy when mickey mouse socked rory emerald in the eye & kicked him in the gut?   it was during the time that rory was abusing alcohol and drugs and being quite the jerk.  many had wanted to hit rory at one time or another, but mickey actually got the pleasure.  it was during the filming of fantasia and rory was playing the "head wizard".  he made an off color remark towards minnie and that was all it took...mickey set it off.
