I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

motherfuckers gear up for that horseshit.

it blows my mind every October.

10/12/2009 7:33:12 PM

aha, I went to the NY state fair last month. it was... interesting

MC Hammer performed

10/12/2009 7:34:06 PM

when I was in Huntington Beach, CA, we went to the Orange County Fair, and Seal was performing. The night before was Citizen Cope

10/12/2009 7:35:27 PM

I tend to avoid the fair because it's a meeting ground for Durham and Johnston county's best and brightest.

10/12/2009 7:36:44 PM

I'll go ahead and tell.

the best come out from aaaaalll around. Bertie County, New Hanover County, Randolph County, you name it.

I think impoverished families save for it starting in November.








That's not very nice.

I wonder what this year's "must have" item will be. Last year it was those stupid Venetian blind shades.

10/12/2009 7:41:35 PM

cold blooded, son

I haven't been to a Fair in like

decades

10/12/2009 7:45:40 PM

I'm serious

I see it as a microcosm for American overspending and poor taste.

f'real, any kid who's been to Busch Gardens, King's Dominion, shit, Carowinds, scoffs at the idea of the NC State Fair. I know I did. I love rides, and I was reluctant to ride a damn thing at the fair by the time I was about 17 or so.

10/12/2009 7:46:11 PM

Fuck that, I go for the food.

I've got my Chipotlaway ready now.

I've been to all of them and I still like the fair

10/12/2009 7:58:58 PM

eeeeeeeee.

I'd enjoy it if I could take my nephew to it. He's 3, and would love the animals and tractors and such.

10/12/2009 7:59:59 PM

i love the fair! i let boys take me there on dates so i don't have to pay for it because it's way too much $$. EMCE, you still down?

10/12/2009 9:07:30 PM

People watching opportunities.

10/12/2009 9:09:08 PM

i refuse to get dragged to this. every year everyone tries to convince me that is the best thing ever invented

every year they all come home groaning about how they are going to die from eating deep fried everything

i will spend my money on my halloween costume mmmk

[Edited on October 12, 2009 at 9:13 PM. Reason : i'm such a good speller]

10/12/2009 9:10:40 PM

i only eat one fried thing when i go to the fair! no sense being crazy about it

10/12/2009 9:11:58 PM

twoozles, I'll take you to the fair any day

cause I'm rich and shit

10/12/2009 9:14:37 PM

Fuck the fair. It's like every damn yankee shows up to go the the damn thing. Couple years ago when I went last, I was told to fuck off and die by one fair goer. Told him to go stick it up his ass, but I still fucking hate the fair. Hate Halloween too. Christmas day is up there too. Fuck the holidays.

10/12/2009 9:16:59 PM

every yankee shows up? really?

10/12/2009 9:17:33 PM

Every damn yankee.

10/12/2009 9:18:22 PM

pffffffhahahahh YANKEES??

I'm glad someone injected some funny into this thread.

I luld hard.

10/12/2009 9:19:21 PM

I really don't see a reason why yankees would be going to the NC State fair (assuming you're talking about the NC state fair)

on a completely unrelated note, I hung out with a bunch of yankees at the NY state fair. everyone was really nice... handing out wine samplers like candy

10/12/2009 9:20:09 PM

1. Sounded like a yankee.
2. Talked like a yankee.
3. Looked like a yankee.

Must have been a yankee. Everyone knows all the South's problems can be blamed on those damn yankees.

10/12/2009 9:21:37 PM

real yankees avoid that redneck convention

seriously

10/12/2009 9:21:38 PM

^^ you seem like you might be entertaining to see at the fair

10/12/2009 9:22:36 PM

im debating on going solely for the scenery.

one year we roamed around and took pictures of people the whole time.


i need to find that photo album....

10/12/2009 9:22:40 PM

and for once, there isn't a home game at the same time as the fair.
I won't be within 5 miles* of that place while it is here.

I don't know how far CC deck and Poe are from the fairgrounds.

10/12/2009 9:23:19 PM

the last year I went to the NC state fair, jackleg's mom had just learned what a mullet was. She proceeded to go mullet hunting with us... except she took it too far.

Instead of whispering under her breath like the rest of us, she ran up to people sporting mullets, pointing at their head, screaming "JEFF! TRAVIS! I FOUND ONE. I FOUND A MULLET.... COME TAKE A PICTURE!"

[Edited on October 12, 2009 at 9:25 PM. Reason : I love that woman]

10/12/2009 9:25:12 PM

was his mother not alive in the 80s?

10/12/2009 9:26:05 PM

^^hahahahhahaha

10/12/2009 9:27:00 PM

6^ Last time I went from the front to the back of the fair in 20 minutes and left. 10 minutes were spent around the entrance gate concessions. Seriously, fuck that place.

10/12/2009 9:27:36 PM

I never knew the fair inspired such hate. Yes it's full of fried food, shitty rides, and poor people but that's its charm.

10/12/2009 9:40:46 PM

less people there so i can enjoy it

thnx

10/12/2009 9:45:35 PM

I dont want to be around people who think eating DEEP FRIED BUTTER is a good idea....

10/12/2009 9:55:12 PM

i've never been :-/

10/12/2009 9:58:18 PM

I go once every 3-5 years.

Richardson's Root Beer is worth it.

Plus 50 cents to see the world's biggest horse, or the world's fattest man, or the giant bears... all that shit, ehhh, why not. It's at the very least surreal.

10/12/2009 11:06:39 PM

aha my mom is a trip

and i dont get the whole "eating at the fair" thing. i mean you can eat crap like that at any high school concession stand during some random sports event

10/12/2009 11:09:29 PM

Fuck the fair. Seriously.

I have absolutely no desire to go to that shit.

10/12/2009 11:18:31 PM

people don't talk about it up here in gboro. i actually havent heard one person mention it now that i think about it

10/12/2009 11:20:31 PM

Deep fried butter son?!

It makes me sick to think about and yet it seems tasty. I have never felt such conflicting emotions before regarding "food" (If you can call it that).

I'm not going to the fair son.

Yeh, but you can do that just about anytime you want at a sporting event. I think a lot of people just enjoy the atmosphere of the fair with the large crowds and animals. It's sort of like Black Friday when everyone rushes to the stores at 5:30 am to do last minute Christmas shopping. They could always go shopping in September, or October and avoid it, but that wouldn't be as fun.

10/12/2009 11:24:55 PM

Post.

I went once. The rides were all backed up, the food was terrible and overpriced (I am a diabetic so I kinda didn't want the super fat 800g of carbs servings that they gave you), the place was filled with thugged out useless teenagers, and there was absolutely nothing there of interest once you took into account the fact that you had spent all this money for zero gain.

Fuck the fair. I'd rather spend such money on a dinner out with my friends at work. At least when I do that I don't have caustic shits the next day.

10/12/2009 11:24:59 PM

You don't go to the fair for the rides...


You go for the people watching, food, and exhibits. Go to the Village of Yesteryear, the Blacksmith's shop, and the Apple stand at the back. Hit up the pig races, all the cooking/quilting/painting/etc competitions and winners, and the antique farm equipment. And fireworks are always nice




God I sound old
