Can Andrew write a column on the life and times of a carnie food rep?

Blythe, hello?, painfully shy…did you not read the whole thing? You were wearing a green garden fairy costume…or it might have just been a white t-shirt. Either way, you were walking with a few dudes.

Andrew…anything next to the turkey leg stand is easily missed. The throng of chain mail wearing, turkey-craving, consumers scared us into walking right past. Our loss.

The medieval fair-where else can you smell body odor, patchouli, fried dough, cooter, and dog crap.

wft man!? why wouldn’t you say hi? however, i also don’t believe you. what color shirt was i wearing? and furthermore, i had the saddest, most disappointing funnel cake experience ever this year - i went to the wrong vendor. they were tiny and fat. i’ll tolerate that in a man, but not my funnel cakes. also, i’m officially turned off by cleavage for at least six months. it’s like reading fast food nation and trying to eat at mcdonald’s. and finally, i’m still really sad about the funnel cake. the corndog/turkey leg/giant potato thing/crepes/huge lemonade/second funnel cake did not make up for the disappointment.

The top pic looks like he is entering him. I guess i should not be shocked. We all saw it happen before to Colin Powell. Two yrs ago when I went to the Fair. Kids were trying to touch the elephants. And the handler said” Not going to be funny when he rips you to the ground. F’ing kids” end quote. Made my day seeing unattended kids get cussed out by a grown man.

Yeah, the corn was right by the turkey leg place at the southern end of the fair. We have a big, yellow trailer. Can’t miss it.

There was roasted corn at the fair? My wife loves that stuff, was starving, and we couldn’t find any. She settled for one of those strawberry covered scones which she hated.

Actually, that isn’t beer. It is “Dragon Ale” (read: root beer), or something along those lines.
I would know, seeing as my family sells the roasted corn at the Medieval Fair.

Doesn’t seem much different from the parade of dorks you can usually seen on campus in Norman any time of year. Just better clothes (at the fair that is).

I also think I threw up a little seeing the last few pictures.

My self-esteem is sky high, right now.

I hadn’t been to the MEF in about 10 years, but I took my kids this year, mainly because I was craving an Indian Taco. I got to teach the children many great lessons about the effects of aging on tattoos, the truth about how pathetic saggy pants makes a person looks, and why dental hygiene is really important. It was actually (a) trashier than I remember, and (b) more hilarious than the State Fair.

Good times!
