The Fourth and Final part wanted to get this out cause Friday is Alice Cooper... Saturday is supposed to be Elmwood Festival of the Arts Zombie walk, skiffles, Roxy's (no photos) Burlesque recital we shall see....
Each day of the fair at 5PM they have a Parade.... What was interesting was where I was some things joined it so wonder if a few people didn't get to see everything.....
So Dock Dogs had all kinds of events this was a High Jump event that was pretty interesting a few pix....
I admit I never found the plate of all the different kind of fries, or the doughnut burger, or Beer Battered Burger... But I did find this brick oven pizza place and it was very good...

2011 Part 3 FairCategory: photos
It is amazing how much stuff there is to do at the fair with the shows and food and all that kind of stuff.... I only took a quick glance at the 911 memorial stuff cause when I saw it I new I didn't have time to read it all like a wanted to since a show was coming up.... Peeking Acrobats.... If you are Reading this (e:tinypliny) look them up they are pretty amazing with some of the stuff they do.... If I get to those pictures in this post it doesn't do them Justice.... The girls spin things on their feet and then pass them through the air......
I didn't know I didn't see all of the Creative Arts building those gingerbread houses where pretty cool.... They always have great things there.....
Yes I got a DVD and they singed it... It is tough to explain you just kinda gotta see them and see how the do the balancing thing and jump through the hoops and that kind of thing ok think this is a good place to cut it....

Fair 2011 Part 2Category: photos
So I can admit I debated what the best way to post pictures is an I'm still not sure.... If I had the time I would love to have done the slideshow thing of each thing that is the same... I think one of the best things on Myspace was what you could do picture wise they had the cube and slideshows.... The problem with youtube is it is so set on video that it is still the same size.... For a slide show the box should be like not double size but like a couple sizes up.........
Fried Mashed Potato I went with the bacon version was pretty good.....
Not sure how well you can see them but the Tiger Show was a good time...... I guess a few more animals then call it...... Never know how many photos is too many or not enough...
That should be enough for now.....

@(e:libertad) I have never been to a state fair or other fairs so I can't compare but I wonder if all cages are like that? I also wonder if they are much better off at a pet store? They do have some pretty neat looking bunnies though.... I know at least some of them you could buy but don't have any real details on that...

Yeah that was a great time.... Sometimes those shows can get insane... The crowd wasn't bad this time but you catch the afternoon or maybe early night time show and it gets insane some times ..... That was a great time.....

I had so much fun when I went with you and (e:Vincent) a couple years back. Remember when (e:thecarey) joined up in the end? We laughed so much in the end, I got hiccups. We also had some fun things to eat including the HUGE pack of kettle corn that never finishes and the curly fries and the fried dough with strawberries. (e:vincent) and I thought you were lost during the tiger show.

I love your pictures but I hate the Erie County Fair. Those animals in wire cages depress me and remind me of why i don't like factory farming.

So on (e:vincent)'s post and also on someone else's over on facebook and other places on the net I've talked food trucks and Although my opinion is different then others it drives me insane and this is why I hate this fucking country some times or maybe it is just the fat greedy bastards.... Not that being fat by itself is bad and it can be healthy......
There are so many types of economic systems and political systems. I think the Russians where right about the Fat capitalist Pigs part..... So Many things have been ruined by this (Give away our jobs to mexico, china.... and any where else really).... Ford owners have to make their money for that big house and car and the most pricey schools and so do the unions who cares if the Japanese make a better product for cheaper we only care about our fat greedy selves..... The next part is my point about how I like my government......
Now not that I can spell it even if it was in English.... But I'm a fan of Lase' Fair government ..... Yes hands off stay out of peoples lives.... Now I'm not sure if keeping everything legal and regulated and taxed could really be a form of that (drugs, hookers....You things that if they harm only harm you no such thing as sex crimes well except rape of course oh I love sex and have had sex with 12 guys in high school but your 2 years older so it rape non of that crap)..... The Best government is one you don't know you have......
Well the problem is see we don't think in the Chinese way that the good of the whole is more important then the individual...... Cause if we did we would have socialized medicine that works (no insurance companies is what all we really need).... No stock market crash... Plenty of jobs .... Yes you can still work hard and have a great life... Now notice I didn't say we should take their entire system it shouldn't be a government belief it should be in the people... If we thought like this what a great country we would have... Not saying we wouldn't have homeless people some people would still choose to live that way or would get lost in the system no system is perfect but we would have such a great country.......
But see a government is supposed to help and protect all the people. They are supposed to make it safer or less deadly to live here... Laws like man are flawed but most of them come from some sort of protection... People die in fires so door have to open out... As an example.... So most laws are about making something legal or illegal based on someone being hurt or wronged by someone else... So when something you want to do is illegal it is cause some other bastard couldn't handle their freedom... Quick example seat belts cause some people can't drive if everyone could no need..... Banks used to be in one state at one time they could sell stocks deregulating and the depression changed the laws.... I hate in this country where we claim we are free there is so much shit we can't do because of people who want to be predators .....ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really can't write on this anymore it drives me insane.... All men are created equal... Well unless you are gay or Black or both..... Freedom my ass.... The Drug is a war on poverty it is a class war.... You see the shootings on the news and here about people going to Jail but you know what you never hear about the people getting locked up are the people who bring the shit into the country do yeah..... Someone who steels my TV to fund drugs or robs me yeah put them in Jail but locking someone up cause they want to get high... But yet is ok for Bud to sell beer....OH yeah cause that is legal drug the one that is endorsed cause they are a big company..... When they saw making booze illegal didn't work they should have gone ya know what if this is true with this it would be true of that.....
So If ya want a nice little sentence to sum it up: The Sharks ruin things for the mostly good people in this country; Even though most people do care about them selves more then the whole... Their needs to be moral rebellion in this country where we look out for each other.... In terms of the food trucks I wish we could let them push there product any place they wanted and that we had 30 of them but honestly people can't be trusted so something needs to be done before it is a problem.....

- I admit I had to stop to do something in the middle and didn't proof read it I never do... Didn't want to give to many examples cause then I might never stop****

No sex for me with 12 guys but there was that one time with the lacrosse team...HA.... Joking about the LaCrosse team.... The point I was trying to make is that..... Everyone should have the freedom to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else... As an example of how laws are used the wrong way.. Say you have some sweet young girl who is in love with some guy and he uses that to have sex with her that is wrong and he took advantage and she is a kid and he is an adult so crime... But that doesn't mean just cause some girl who is having sex with someone who is of age when she isn't that it is rape... There are plenty of girls out there who have multiple sex partners and they are the ones with the power they are ones who decide about sex.... The point I was trying to make is that often times in this country people abuse freedoms and then new laws have to be passed and they hurt the people who don't abuse their freedoms as well....... That is a bit frustrating ....

Okay, so if I totally go salt free for a couple months or maybe even more - like throw away (or give you all my canisters) can whoever wants to do the same for alcohol???
I am willing to give this a try.

i feel the same about salt! we should definitely ban it or at least heavily stigmatize it, the world would be such a better place if those offensive salt eaters were made to feel like the disgusting baby-eaters that they really are!

I love Alcohol and love how it makes me feel but it is so bad for ya.... Yes two drinks a day are good for you but that is if it is red or white whine and you can get that from like Grape Juices........ Then you have to much and it all comes up but that is never part of the plan and shouldn't happen very often....

Nice rant. Which encourages me to rant as well.
Alcohol is bad for everyone. It is in fact linked to MORE diseases than smoking. Be it beer or wine or other hard liquor, the effects add up. There is unequivocal medical evidence that it is not doing your health or your brain or your liver any benefits. Yet, why do people continue to drink? Drinking is a disease. Let's not give it a social tag and believe it's okay in small amounts or whatever amount you are drinking it in.

2011 Part 1 Erie County FairCategory: photos
So On Saturday I went out to the fair and got there about 10am... Then on Sunday went out to the cousins with the family and put some shelves together for my sis.... Hence why pictures today....
To be honest there where a few food that I never did find... It was a good time.... In terms of pictures I don't know I kinda wish I could do groups in slide shows not sure the best way to do this so I'll just start by posting some and see.....
Some Sea Lion Splash Photos......
Thing about the Sea Lion Splash is that a lot of tricks you kinda have to be there like the kid was tossing frisbe and the Sea Lions would catch it then toss it then the trainer at the end tried to give the kid a reward yeah raw fish he wisely backed away.....
Guess that is a good place to leave off?

I should ad the unicycle the way that works is someone tosses the bowls to her she puts them on her foot then kicks them up and catches them.... Besides for the unicycle I think someone who is good at soccer could with practice get pretty good at that trick...
Wow - that is wild, I admit. Someday... when (e:Paul) and I find a local adult gymnastics class in the city! ;-)
