all's fair

i was driving to target on saturday morning when i saw a BMW with a bumper sticker that said, "rednecks for obama."

and that's when i knew it was going to be a good day.

it was pretty much already destined to be a great day because, for one, i had target coupons! and, for two, it was the last weekend of the montgomery county fair!

as it happens, you can find pretty much anything your heart desires at the montgomery county fair.

por ejemplo:

wise environmental stewardship...




... religion...




... an earlier end to your life by way of delicious fried foods...


{i may or may not have eaten my whole corn dog and half of scott's.}







... true love...



... prizes to die for (maybe literally)...




...pigs on the run...



... and an education...




... about all kinds of things.

{yes, this poor bunny rabbit was disqualified for being the wrong sex.}


you can also find a big old rainstorm...




... which sadly led to the cancellation of the demolition derby, the planned highlight of our county fair excursion. luckily, we heard about another fair and demolition derby in september, and i am totally there.

if that fried oreo doesn't kill me first.

I love County Fair travelogues! Even when they reveal the agricultural sector selling false environmental advances to the masses. And confused-gender bunnies.

And how was that deep-fried Oreo? I briefly stood in line for a deep-fried Twinkie at the UT State Fair but chickened out when I realized that if I were photographed purchasing and eating such a thing it would end my career as mocker of other folks' follies.
