    At almost all amusement parks and carnivals, it aappears to be necessary for there to be a carousel.
    Why, when carousels are focused to be utilized by small, impressionable chilren, does each horse on the carousel have a look of utter and supreme terror on their faces? Dont' just tell me that they're racing...such a thing should not be.

    I love carousels. My all time favorite ride. The horses don't have a look of extremem terror here--they're baring their teeth a little, I guess, but I just like carousels. I want a big one all of my own.

    That's what she said.

    I never said that I didn't like carousels...I like the damn things, but I when I went on one yesterday, the question appeared in my head, and its been bothering me all day.

    and thats what who said?

    i'm a fucking wimp. i can't handle carousels anymore. i used to be able to ride all kinds of rollercoasters and be okay, now i can't even ride a freaking carousel without feeling sick.

    Carousls are kind of a tradition park. A form of them has been around since the Middle Ages, so maybe it just stuck. I don't know. I love them. Especially the old Victorian hand-painted and hand-carved horses....

    carnivals......... its as american as apple pie, so is puking after a ride. I just dont like those poor little goldfish that you win for tossing a pingpong ball in a fishbowl. Once you get the buggers home they snuff it. Candy floss, love that stuff. Dont dig those corndogs though. Bumper cars, maybe its me, but i LOATHE it when people bump into me, hehehehe - stay the fuck out of my way and I will give you the same courtesy. What are those swing things called that go out further and further?

    mmmmmm candy


    floss.

    I had one of those fish. It lived for years. Something happened to it which I am under penalty of oath not to discuss. But it was a good fish.


By Zephyr on Tuesday, June 27, 2000 - 12:18 am:

    Yeah...if you raise them right, those carnival fish get really big, and last forever. One that my brother won a while ago is still around (about 4 years, I think), and it is massive!

    I really love ferris wheels. And the infamous "Wild Mouse" ride...

    what's the point of going on bumper cars if you don't like to get bumped?

    mmm...pig...the only good meat, other than kids.

    I want some ham now. And an uncooked mystery tube.


By Isolde on Tuesday, June 27, 2000 - 09:05 pm:

    I saw a 16 year old goldfish today. He was huge.


By Jay on Wednesday, June 28, 2000 - 07:45 am:

    uncooked mystery tube brings up visions i really don't enjoy.
    when i was a kid my uncle ran a farm and they would slaughter pigs. one time me and my cousin got in the slaughterhouse and i'll never forget it. big room with a concrete floor with a drain in the middle. whole place covered with blood. anyway there was this one plastic garbage bag and when we looked in there it was like the pigs snout, feet, ears, etc. all this nasty shit.
    to this day we talk about "the bag".
    maybe that goes into a mystery tube.

    In Lousiana,all that stuff goes in the freezer------------scared the hell out of me the first time I opened my mother-in-laws fridge,and saw Porky looking back at me.


By Isolde on Thursday, June 29, 2000 - 05:31 pm:

    Yes, there is something distressing about a cleaven animal carcass in the freezer.
