Teen Challenge?
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Welcome back!While trying to make your way back to the rides, you find your progress slowed by a large group of teenagers whose primary goal seems to be to stand there and look cool. Their image is not helped by the combined smells of popcorn, heavy perfume, and acne treatment medication that emenates from their […]
The Hot Dog Dash
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Suddenly, and without warning, you discover that wine steeped hot dogs really don’t agree with you. You make a mad dash for the facilities. Thankfully, there is no line. Several minutes later, as you are washing your hands, you notice that whoever is in charge of posting the fliers for the midway attractions has chosen […]
Want cheese with that?
Sunday, April 27th, 2008When you finally make it to the hot dog stand, you are so hungry that you don’t even bother to read the menu. You just order a hot dog, and when the guy asks what kind, you tell him to give you whatever is best. You pay a ridiculous price for the hot dog, then […]
Odd Rides
Friday, April 25th, 2008Thinking about all that exercise reminds you that you are hungry. Looking around, you spy a small hot dog stand just in front of the ride area. Walking closer, you see that the rides have started. Some of them appear to be the regular kind, others, you don’t recognise. There is one that looks for […]
Dollars to Fat Free Doughnuts?
Saturday, April 19th, 2008Just past the park ranger, you come upon a young woman in what appear to be excecise tights. Coming closer, you see why… she is hyping exercise equipment, the latest and greatest. On the table just to her side are dollar bills folded into all kinds of interesting SHAPES, which she is giving away to […]
No Parking?
Saturday, April 19th, 2008After watching the acrobats practice for a while, you start to get hungry. Heading back across the fairgrounds, you notice someone talking loudly in front of one of the booths along your path. The man appears to be in some kind of uniform. Getting close enough to hear what he is saying isn’t easy, but […]
Monkeys? No…
Saturday, April 19th, 2008Walking toward the animal tents, movement from the corner of your eye makes you hesitatae. Turning to get a closer look, you see what looks like a bunch of monkeys hopping around like they are in serious need of a colon cleanse. Turning, you walk closer to the fiasco, hoping to get a […]
To Cluck or Not to Cluck
Thursday, April 17th, 2008After that interesting encounter with the hypnotist, and in spite of the ongoing urge to cluck, you decide to look for more shows that might be interesting. You head back past the best anti wrinkle cream Sharpeis and turn toward the section of the carnival that seems to be dedicated to animal acts. It should […]
The Hypnotist
Sunday, April 6th, 2008Oh, look! A hypnotist’s tent! It’s a little expensive, but you pay your money and go in anyway. Taking a seat in the audience, near the front, you wait for the show to begin. Before long, THE HYPNOTIST comes out and requests volunteers from the audience. Feeling brave, you raise your hand. The […]
Moving on…
Sunday, April 6th, 2008Glancing past the vampire tent, you see a man selling tee shirts. Not ordinary ones, though. These have your picture on them. Apparently this is accomplished with the computer he has set up with what appears to be a web cam, but probably isn’t, and a very strange looking thing that resembles a paper shredder […]
