i like the state fair. i really do. that is a picture of me blending in w/ idiots protesting 'gay day' at the state fair today. here's how it all started....
dateline: last nite.
i fucking hate playing pool. i'm no good at it, and everyone i see playing it is a dummy. lot's of high-fiving, hooting, hollerin', and general tucked in shirt machismo. no, i really hate it. so i played a little last nite w/ some people that i genuinely like from work. during that reconfirmation of me sucking at pool, i noticed a new fashion trend in the pool hall i guess scene. you are wearing a tuck in western style shirt, you decide it's hip to only tuck in one side of said front of shirt.
how randy! or roguish!
so i leave that bar and go to the local. meet up w/ cpt withit and jab at the bar. tell jab that i need his couch. i dont wanna drive at this stage. looking out for the citizenry and whatnot.
so i wake up this morning, still fully clothed and hoping he didn't run out of mouthwash (he didn't). we go down and eat breakfast at the meridian.
the meridian room is a cool place to be. also, it's right across the street from the state fair of texas, which by the way, is the coolest fair around.
today, at the fair, is 'gay day'. i.e. it's the fair's effort at trying to get the gay/lesbian dollar (the fair is all about the dollar.).
since we live in texas, there is gonna be a problem w/ that by proxy. and sure enough, there it was......
so, right in the median, in front of the fair are a bunch of uptight squares w/ anti-gay/religious hellbent signs.
so we make a couple.
mine was double sided. the picture you see on the left is the b-side. the other side said 'priests also molest children, fully.'
the other guy w/ a sign that rolled w/ me had a sign that said 'i own a weenie stand'.
the zealots around me told me that yeah, 'priests do molest children. they get it early. that's why they end up being homosexual. interesting huh?'
i told them that that was in fact interesting. and i after i put that pictured smoke out i volleyed w/ 'you know what else is interesting? time travel.' that was when i really felt the full meaning behind the term collective groan.
we hung out, got a few tourist pics out of it. i started to fold up my sign to go back to the bar and one of them said, 'hey why ya leavin'?'.
i told him i needed a drink. and i went and got me one.
happy sunday sg'rs.

My phone was dead (outta charge) yesterday, so I didn't get yer message till it was too late. Me & K.M. spent WAAAAAAY too much money on food & wine for our Sopranos meal, so it's prolly a good thing coz I just found out I killed the engine in my Tercel. FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!
Hope y'all had fun & hopefully I can hook up a ride to the lanes tomorrow after practice.
