I am sure most of you remember my previous foray into the LA County Fair last year ended up in me consuming twinkies that were fried and dosed in some sort of chocolate sauce. Upon eating the whole thing, I am sure I lost a year from my life simply based off the pure concentration of preservatives and stuff you really aren't supposed to ingest.

This year was extremely fun. Denise and I rode on a few rides. The merry-go-round in the kids section was fun and easy. Then Denise wanted to step it up and go on the big people rides. I reluctantly agreed. Both rides were not created for the average human. Instead these rides were created for some iron stomach child who just so happens to be over 47" tall. Let's just say, I got my ass handed to me by those rides. While I sat horrified in my seats, Denise mocked me by having the time of her life.

Besides the rides, we got to meet the Budweiser Clydesdales. Let's just say their huge muscular arms, were larger than my whole body.

We also came across the kids exhibit where all the children who wanted to show off their artwork could do so. Let's just say it had me pissed off that children these days have no artistic talent what-so-ever. Not only do children today have no artistic talent, but judges have some weird non-sensical process to identifying which crap artwork deemed worthy to place. My guess is they threw all the paperwork onto a surface and a had a drunk blindfolded monkey throw darts.

As we were walking to the exit to call it a night, just like a dying sitcom wanting to grab enough attention to justify it's existence to a declining user-base, we happened to come across a mobile platform where on top of said platform a band playing funk music. I looked around as the mobile platform went up and down the major corridors of the fair and people seemed disinterested. I guess this was the norm when it came to the fair.

I had a lot of fun at the fair this year. I had my yearly huge turkey leg. I walked the fair and enjoyed the atmosphere. I attempted to avoid the carnies. All and all, this year's trip was a success.
