Just because I promised some Photos of Carnies

Filed under: Goofing-off — Chris @ 9:35 pm

I don’t back down on promises. Even if it involves shabbily dressed people who don’t have very many teeth, and don’t shower apparently.

No, I’m not talking about the town’s new Super-Duper-Scrumdidlyumptious WalMart. Nor am I talking about the Jerry Springer show. I’m talking about Frontier Days & The Carnival (where the Jerry Springer people go for vacation, I swear).

Yes, the Carnival. Home of Expensive, greasy, and probably vermin infested food.
I was tempted.

The $8.00 Dipping Dots were may favorites, since it costs that much to ship them to the Carnival. From the Moon I’d guess.

I got to see some drunk non-cowboys, and a carnie ride that for some reason, was in the park, but not set up (I’m thinking it’s haunted).

Since I promised carnies, the two dudes in blue are carnies. I found that they would run away from the camera if I got any closer.

Makes one wonder..

Oh, and the other photos are of rides that I fondly call “The Puke-o-tron 1, and the Puke-o-tron 2″.

Someday this will be all over and the town will return to…

hmmmmm..

The plight of the single guy.

Filed under: Single Stupid Guy — Chris @ 4:00 pm

Girls think us single guys have it so easy.

Nothing could be farther from the truth!

I won’t even start into the pain that a guy has to go through when he puts his arm around a girl at the beginning of a movie, and then slowly feel all the blood drain from said arm. I’ll leave that horrendous story for some other time.

So instead I’ll complain about the local Electrical Utility.

I got home last night, and for the third time in the last three weeks, I was without power.

Do you realize how crippling this is to a single guy!?!?!? I was without a food source!

My cupboard consists of the following
- Cans-o-soup
- Ramen
- Some brown & grain sugar
- Some seasoning

My Fridge consists of
- Some Polish Dogs
- Mustard
- A zillion bottles of IBC Root Beer
- Some Steam dumplings

Since my oven is electric, I can’t even heat water.

Ramen -> No hot water (Microwave, oven)
Polish Dogs -> Same problem
Steam Dumplings -> Same problem.

I was hosed.

I think this needs to be the exception to the Elder Oaks talk.

If I ever have to have two years worth of food.

I’m going to be a meal for some wolf.

As it was, I had a nice snack of Mustard and seasoning.
