Ferris wheel = International sign for Fried dough goodness. :)

Yeah the cursed fair is on Amherst Common this weekend - and I call it the cursed fair because apparently there is a long standing freak occurance that the fair shows up and it then rains cats and dogs. And of course it is pouring today. Though last night it was only lightly drizzling so [livejournal.com profile] sydneycat, [livejournal.com profile] htl_1126 and I decided to head over in search of fair food. Well. Di and I were singlemindedly in pursuit of fried doughy goodness. We were not alone in our quest, as we ran into babyzilla and her parents... babyzilla who had that glazed, slightly tweaked look of the holy crap sensation overload! that little kids get. She kept looking around and stuff and going "Wow..." which was of course, cute as hell. At last fried dough was achieved in all of its sweet buttery confectioners sugar covered wonder.

Fried dough and a nap certainly redeemed my afternoon, especially my bus ride home as three of the most nerve grating people evar seemed to be on my bus last night... including Mr. Bucket, who I also had to encounter at the fair later. While my own dislike of the man doesn't extend to [livejournal.com profile] sydneycat audibly death-hexing him every time she passes him (I usually just cross the street or sit at the way other end of the bus) it does kinda make me feel like creating anti-bucket brigade stickers and slapping them all over Amherst, kind of in the tradition of Andre the Giant Has a Posse/Obey Giant. (look 'em up on wikipedia). It could be fun really, especially if there was also included a web site full of nonsensical paranoid ramblings, like SCHWA or Timecode. I already have a proto rant drawing a paralell between him and super Grover and a conspiracy to control the Valley's children through bad percussion and red lame capes. Well, if I do get something like that at least he will have brought something entertaining into this world - quite unlike his schtick of whacking his bucket in a psuedo percussive manner and butchering the Harry Belafonte top 40.

Work and more breakfast now.

actually its this OR the taste. anytime there is an actual fair it rains...this one more than the taste, but really amherst should bring it down on all of us.

no the big black guy that stands in front of Antonios and caterwauls "Day-o" while accompanying himself (badly) on an overturned laundry soap bucket covered in blue duct tape. He's usually wearing a piece of blue or red lame fabric tied around his neck for a cape. You can usually hear him from the house at 3am.
