Friday Shorts At The Fair!

So I pretty much failed at updating with a long post this week, but I’m not going to be a complete failure and forget to put up a Friday Shorts post!

Looks like the theme of this post is the NC State Fair. I went on Sunday (and am going again tomorrow), and the people/life watching, as you may have guessed, is phenomenal.

I’m Judging You: Listening to MP3 player in public

Not only are you in public, you’re at the fair. Surrounded by over 70,000 people. It’s not so much that I wanted to talk to you, but you’re missing out on half the experience of the fair, and I need everyone to have their ears open so that the carnies talk to them and I can sneak past without getting hollered at to “win a prize for the lovely lady” I’m walking with.

I’m Judging You: Carnival Prizes

I saw this gem at the fair, being offered as a prize:

Yes. That’s Michael Jackson. Sleep tight, kids!

I’m Judging You: High school couples

Why do all the fourteen and fifteen year old couples deem it necessary to hang out at the State Fair? And why do they always wait until I’m looking to start holding hands and making out? Seriously, it’s hard enough trying to keep my fried pecan pie down without having these images shoved into my head. Let’s save the PDA for the hot couples in their mid-twenties, okay?

Should I be Judging You? Krispy Kreme Burger
I ran out of stories already (guess I didn't have my eyes open too much?), so I'm improvising. One of the new fair foods this year is a burger that uses Krispy Kreme doughnuts as the buns. I've been repulsed at the idea of this burger for a while now, but that repulsion has turned into straight up curiousity. I think I'm gonna split one with a few other people tomorrow, just so I can say I tried it. I'll let you know if you should be judging the burger (or judging me for NOT judging the burger) next week.


Happy Friday!
