Arts and Wine

We went to the local arts and wine festival today with my #1 reader and his wife and son. I took my kid on the Tilt-O-Whirl, which was a grave mistake. He loved it but for me it almost became the Tilt-O-Hurl. I was able to keep my lunch down but just barely. My #1 reader didn't join us, which is another example of his acuity.

I was a bit disappointed in this year's offering. They didn't have one of those games where you shoot the squirt gun into the clown's mouth to blow up the balloon. Nor did they have the thing where you shoot the red star out of the slip of paper. I'm sure no one has ever beat that one but it's fun to shoot the gun and it has been a constant source of employment for carneys for decades. The final letdown was the lack of a fried dough booth. What the hell is an arts and wine festival without fried dough. I had to settle for a funnel cake.

To change the subject completely, what do you figure Jerry Falwell can bench press?

    Damiano,

    Now that your blog is so sucessful, you may have to put away your dream of having half your teeth pulled out to become a carney.
