I said it... i did it.

Its official. I made it to stampede. No, I didnt actually see any of the cowboys or anything, but i did see some animals, ride some rides, and eat a shitload of food [if it could be categorized as such] at the Fairgrounds. The highlights:

-- Drinking. Yeah, we drank a few caesars and I had a G and T in the Casino while Jer lost 20 bux playing Blackjack within the timespan of approx. 2 minutes. [ Okay: so the first time we went to the casino in May he got mad at me because my "hovering" was making him lose.... now this time he said that he got a good card when i was there, but they went to crap when i left. Buddy. Make up yer friggin mind!] I got a bit of a buzz from the drinkie poos... mostly i think cuz it was hot and sunny and maybe also cuz we were pretty stoned when we got there.

--BBQ steak on a bun. Mmmm. I cant explain how tasty this was with words alone. But the fact that I ate 2 of them [after donuts, corndog, pickle-kabob, and beef jerky] should give you an idea.

--Ride o' Rama: I friggin love rides. Especially the Gravitron [y'know that thing that spins like a dryer and then you stick to the wall]. Jer managed to barter the ride operators into letting us on for free or when we didnt have enough tickets [insert joke here about his religious upbringing]. We also snuck into the grounds and managed to avoid the hefty entrance fee... yet still managed to spend close to $100 while we were there.

--mini donuts [drooooool].

-- the "infomercial" place: y'know, where companies that have things that are "as seen on TV" for sale and do little demos to show you how miraculous their product is. I never saw it, but apparently the dudes selling this one mop were pretty convincing-- like half the people we saw on the grounds were carrying them. We hit up the demos for the personal massager [actually kinda made me horny, however there was no handicapped washroom nearby for us to get it on in], foot massager, and massage chair people for demos. The lowlight of the day was the creepy sleazeball guys selling the chairs...who told me that the chairs were pretty expensive and that my mommy or daddy would have to buy me one with their Visa if I liked it. Cunt! Im a fucking lawyer and i could buy and sell your greasy ass!

--the animals: i gotta pet a baby pig, a cow, a Bison, and some horsies. Immediately after gooshing about how much i love animals, i ate another steak.

--The Fun House: The funniest thing i may have seen in the last year-- my big hulking macho stud of a boyfriend screeching like a little girl when this mask of an alien jumped out at him. I nearly peed my pants. He kept pushing me in front of him and cowering behind me for the rest of the house. Too fucking funny!

So that was stampede. Yeah, it was pretty fun...and worth it. I prolly would go again. Maybe i'd buy one of those mops next year. And more of those steaks....
