Carnies

Last friday Matt Christin and I went to partake in a time honored redneck tradition we went to the state fair to see the southern rock band ZZtop and ride the carnival rides set-up by carnies strung out on something JK. Just like Jeff Foxworthy say's there are some really strange people there, but unlike a county fair I wasn't related to half of them. I didn't ride very many rides, I am not used to amusement rides anyone who really knows me has heard the superman story. What was your first experience with amusement rides?

Here are some Redneck jokes to lighten your day. They all begin with You might be a redneck if...
. . . you think fast food is hitting a deer at 65 mph.
. . . an expired license plate means another decoration for your living room wall.
. . . the emergency room nurse knows everyone in your family by name.
. . . the most common prase in your house is "someone go jiggle the handle."

What.. you left me out of the story?? lol

I've got a couple more for you to add to your list:

... you and your dog use the same tree.

... your house doesn't have curtains, but your truck does.

... you've been on TV more than 5 times describing the sound of a tornado.

... the taillight covers of your car are made of red tape.

Sad to say, but I had a friend who has red tape on his taillights! LOL

I can't remember my FIRST amusement ride story, but I do have my WORST:

7th grade, that most horrible of all years. I'm at the fair, which in our town of 5,000 was where everyone was, with some friends. I eat a "sancho" for dinner -- the local Mexican restaurant had a food trailer there -- basically, a soft taco. Then, my friend Jake convinces me to go on the Zipper with him. (Side note: in looking for a picture of the ride, I found out some great info on it!) I agree, if he promises not to spin the car at the top. He promised. He lied. As we're stuck at the top, waiting for the bottom car to load, he flips us once, twice, three times... here comes my dinner. I puked all over him, me and the ride. As soon as we got to the bottom to be let out, I ran off into the darkness.

I have no idea how I got home... I must have blocked those memories. All I know is, everyone was talking about it at school the next day.

I still hate Jake.

That's funny I know the zipper very well, even though I've never been on it. I guess every carnival company has one.

Carnivals...I HATE the one (don't know the name) where you spin around so fast you are glued to the wall- I had a headache for days after that...
