Fantastico.

The Arkansas State Fair is in town, folks. Click here to visit the website and see all the fun that can be had! So you know what this means:
1. Carnies are in town. Lots of them. Toothless carnies, carnies on drugs, carnies not paying attention and doing their job right. When I was little, a carnie shut my hand in one of the locks on a ride. SHUT IT on my hand. My hand was stuck. My sister had to frantically flag down said carnie to release me before the ride started and more damage was done to my hand. I stupidly signed a form that said I wouldn't sue. Dang it.
2. The rodeo... Well it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud, it's the roar of a Sunday crowd. It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle, he'll win the next go 'round... Rodeo=drunk rednecks... something not to be missed.
3. Gross but awesome food. Guaranteed to increase your caloric intake 15-fold AND make you barf.
4. The Gravitron- I used to think this was the coolest ride ever. LOOK! I can't move my arms! Gravity is awesome (as your face is being pulled back)!
5. The Pirate Ship- my sister was at the fair with a friend and on this ride. Someone yacked... yup- barf in the face for all on board.
6. Guaranteed to see Arkansas' finest. In leather.
7. Circus freaks are people too, ya'll. PS, don't pay to see the great white sharks. They're dead and on slabs in a cooler. Another $5 wasted!
8. My dad used to load me and all my friends in his OLDSmobile and take us to the fair. All 10 of us would cram in there. Can you smell the funnelcake yet?
9. The Hall of Industry! Those ducks that jump down their little slide are the cutest! They're having so much fun!
10. You get to make fun of your friends that won't ride on the "scary" rides with you because you're cooler than they are. And the part of your brain that tells you that those rides are DANGEROUS and portable is not functioning.

Let's go.
