The joys of my perpetual childhood

[rydain]

The annual Grange Fair rolled around last week. It's no ordinary rural gathering of livestock, crafts, and any food that will maintain its constitution in a deep fryer. It's a settlement - literally. Families pass down their tents for generations, and every year is a reunion as neighbors watch each others' kids grow up to take on the tradition

I hate fairs, but oh my GOD, that looks fun! They have that at the ren faire, but the line is always SO long and I'm always SO drunk that I've not tried it yet.

This may be that year.

Also, I could only see it on certain flips, but your hair is banging. How long is it now?

Go for it! The line is so worth it, and hopefully you'll be surrounded by conversation partners rather than a lot of unfamiliar kids. I would save the alcohol for after the ride. I have a reasonable tolerance for crazy motion, and I still felt a bit loopy afterward until I got some fresh squeezed lemonade.

Thank you! I'm maintaining at mid-butt length, which is just before it starts to taper too much for my tastes. It's also easy to get out of the way with a simple braid or ponytail.

Obviously because Abbad was mocking the fact that Hideo Saito couldn't pronounce "The Squared Circle" because he was native Japanese (try it at home, kids!), ooooooooooh yeeeeeahhhhh!

Perhaps he was preemptively mocking his current alter ego, Captain New Japan.

Now I haven't watched pro wrestling in well over a decade, but I'm fairly certain that a brightly painted trashcan lid Shield of Justice counts as a foreign object. Obviously, the ref didn't see it.
