In case you missed the show, I know I did since I completely forgot to turn on my Satellite recorder today, so didn’t see it at all. Here are some good moments I found on YouTube. I’ll post more when I see the entire show somewhere online.
My titles are really starting to suck. So anyways, went to the Los Angeles County Fair today (Day before yesterday, September 19, however you look at it) and apparently I had gone before. I still argue I never went before. I don’t remember going at all, nothing about the place reminds of me of anything only two strange dreams that seem oddly similar; but I seriously never gone. Interesting experience, it all really feels like a gigantic carnival though. Like a theme park, but which turns out to look like a carnival; in other terms. One thing that stands out when you first walk in is that the whole place is in smoke from the hundreds of people who barbeque there. Yes, barbeque is one huge thing when it comes to fair and its a must since whatever you buy; you know it will always be good no matter what.
Coleslaw also seems to be a huge thing here, apparently.
Yes, in case your wondering what that is; its a Beef…just barbeque beef sandwich with barbeque sauce you can put on later on. Best. Barbeque. Ever. Unfortunately, I never went for the Roasted Corn I have been craving for months so I am gonna have to wait longer that that.
Lots to see afterwards though which include this farm-like region (it looks nothing like a farm, just a farm-looking building with caged farm animals), which included a mega pig:
Yes, they get big.
And a Monster pig which is even bigger, but could not unfortunately take a picture of because it included an awkward moment (It peed).
Then we went on to an insect exhibit which I could not stay in because of my enormous fear of them. Here are some pictures I took bravely:
The closest I will ever get to a scorpion.
Glow-In-The-Dark Scorpions eh? I’m still not touching it.
Second closest I will ever get to a tarantula. First was one actually being on my shoulder. I have never been the same.
After that we ended up going to these home shopping type of places you find at conventions and was incredibly non-interesting. Lots of products which include knock-offs and stuff I will never need. When we finally walked out an hour later, I thought shopping was done for now and we ended up at a building called winter wonderland. Finally a place that seemed interesting, that’s until we walked it and ended up being another shopping center. But disappointment soon went away as we saw Santa, a very much appropriate Santa in summer wear in front of a beach backround. Hilarity in sues. Next to Santa was a mini Roller rink which I wanted to try out, but my family was less willing. Somehow the fun was sucked out of my family ages ago. Which speaks much for my brother later on.
Then after that my brother and I walked around for a bit eventually spending the next half hour (lost) looking for the best part of the park which was the Action Zone or where the better rides and entertainment are. We eventually got there and first thing I saw was a BB gun game that intrigued me. It involves a typewriter machine BB gun and hitting a target. You shoot out the target and you get one of those annoying mini-motorbikes you hear either in the morning or late at night by a punk kid that lives down your street. Time for payback.
After 4 rounds and losing about 40 tickets, (which is 30 dollars) I lost. Here is how close I came in the last round to winning a bike:
If you can see the circles, they are indications to what I missed. I missed it by that much.
Other highlights include me riding a very fast, vomiting inducing ride and me and my brother riding at least one carnival ride called the Tilt a Whirl. A carny classic. One part of the place also included what looked like a representation of larger or smaller than life animals (almost like a freak show). A crude presentation, but hey it was a dollar. First animal was the worlds smallest horse. I’ve seen smaller. Next was the world’s tallest horse. If he’s tall is he in the Guinness World Records? No idea, but I didn’t ask, it was still one huge horse if you ask me. I would take a picture but too many people around to do so and they probably wouldn’t let me. Next was one I actually took pictures of. Here’s the booth:
Hm, seems huge, big booth anyways. Lets take a look:
…wow thats…yeah its pretty big. Here’s a comparison shot with random people so you know just actually how big:
Yeah, they weren’t lying. Its pretty big.
Well that almost concludes the trip here’s some random highlight pictures:
[Insert Joke Here]
The Budweiser Horses? Cool animal celebrities!
Yep, if you ever wondered.
There’s one thing I had to do after the trip and it was get a funnel cake. Unfortunately I didn’t get one so here’s an alternative:
This is what’s called a Texas Donut A la mode or A giant donut with ice cream on top. It was one great donut.
In Case You Missed It and Keeping up with Politics:
Before you get put off by the Fan-Made part; this scene looks quite professional. If they ever come out with a special edition of the movie on DVD; this should be included as an alternate scene. This scene makes me lawl. Seriously its really awesome, just watch:
Their are many fast food restaurants that taste exactly as it did just years ago, this includes: Taco Bell, Del Taco, Wendy's (on a small part), Tommy's, In-N-Out and McDonalds (some burgers really) to name a few, but what doesn't taste the same is a sad truth of Burger King. I know there are many but this is one were you can really tell. Burger King has been making their burgers so poorly these days, its almost disgusting to eat there now. After watching the commercial of Wendy's were most burgers go after they are cooked, its disgusting and of course is what Burger King is doing. The burger patty's themselves don't even look like patties anymore. It looks gray and looks like its been used before.
Also the burger never looks like how it does in the commercials.
That's better.
But when has it? At least other restaurants look edible, Burger Kings burgers look like a bloody mess. It looks so soggy, the lettuce is everywhere, and the patty just sticks out. The burger just looks sad. The King holds delicious burgers to people. Sadly his employee's don't. The Burger King by my house is officially gross with its less than tasty patties. I really can't eat it anymore. Even though I get creeped out by him; I wish The King would make a burger for me. Bring back the old Burger King or do something to revamp it please.
And dont copy McDonalds again. You already did with the 'healthy' kids meals.
Don't even get me started.
