http://fairsenough.wordpress.com Just another WordPress.com weblog Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:14:29 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://s2.wp.com/i/buttonw-com.png http://fairsenough.wordpress.com http://fairsenough.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/post-nine-carnies/ http://fairsenough.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/post-nine-carnies/#comments Fri, 28 Aug 2009 19:51:50 +0000 coryspeets http://fairsenough.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/post-nine-carnies/ ]]> If the carnies of yesteryear could crawl through the wormhole and come face-to-face with the carnies of today, there would most certainly be mis-trustful glances; then “words”…then bloodshed. The Carnival Barker of today has been cleaned up, castrated, and dressed like a Target employee; their mulleted manes shorn, their huckster powers de-clawed. I don’t use the word “rape” very often, but ladies and gentlemen, I feel raped!

Lap up the sweet irony of people standing in line in order to rent scooters! Delicious!

The Japanese invented it. I’m not kidding. First square watermelons and now this. The White Devil thanks you. Arrigato.

By all reasonable accounts, this should have been a tasty affair; however nothing prepared me for the gelatinous jowels covered in a sauce that seemed less like the chipotle peach glaze it was puported to be, and more like the petroleum jelly it tasted like. After two bites, I sent the rest into the garbage and, hopefully, straight to Hell.

Cookies were next, as is clear skies…

The FAIR approaches in mere hours…what greasy treats will I cram in my craw this year? How close to diabetes can I come in 8 hours? Stick around and lap up the blogging milk Friday, August 28!
