"After petting all the beasts, clean your hands before you feast":
Pigs, sleeping like 2 naked humans:
At the Marines' display, a man in awesome white shoes:
From what I saw, it is physically impossible to toss a ring onto a bottle and win a giant stuffed banana:

If you read Barbara Tuchman's "A Distant Mirror" you might not think those shoes so awesome. They're a throwback to the 14th century and were considered by her a sign of societal decay and depravity among the idle privileged youth. I tend to agree.
It's a perfect metaphor for the type of men who will now be allowed in the Marine Corps.
Those shoes are very stylish in Mexico.
"Oh, look. Black people. Take a picture!"
"After petting all the beasts, clean your hands before you feast"
Probably a good idea to do that after you pet the farm animals as well...
"Pigs, sleeping like 2 naked humans"
The pigs look cleaner. Honestly, those are beautiful pigs. Whose job is it to scrub their little pink butt-holes after piggy potty time?
"At the Marines' display, a man in awesome white shoes:"
Sigh. So Mexicans really are wearing those stupid shoes?
Hey! These are the first ethnic people I've seen in Wisconsin since Jesse Jackson came to the protests in the winter!
Hooah to the Marines.

There's a complicated subtext embedded in that, isn't there?
What's that horrible death-trap circular ride?
"It's a perfect metaphor for the type of men who will now be allowed in the Marine Corps."
You know, if I didn't know what an idiot you are, and that you are actually being serious, I'd think this was a hilarious little bit of satire.
Mexican "Jester" boots
Maybe Titus has a point about fat people. After living in Wisconsin, those two sleeping hogs looked just like people to the Professor.
I wanted to go to that Fair but I had no one to go with.
Hispanics love carnivals. You can't swing a cat without hitting one. I think it has to do with all the pretty lights.
The Freyburg Fair in Maine is so delish.
Did it smell in the Animal area?
No bunny pics?
It's kind of unsettling seeing pictures of Madison without a protest going on.
Why did douchebag Skyler have to make this about culture? Really, dude? Also, are you still looking to beat me up?
Anyway, I used this opportunity to figure out the amusement company that brings those rides. Because they look cool. Turns out they'll be trucking into a festival near me reasonably soon.
Awesome.
I'm sorry. I did not read Fedka's link first. Truly fascinating!
Young men who can't afford a bespoke pair have been using garden hoses to make their own, decorating them with glittery butterflies, stars, flashing lights and disco balls.
Housewife Laura Soto, 36, added: 'The boots makes them look more sexy because you can tell they are daring.'
So in addition to being a blowhard, Skyler also is clearly anti-Mexican. Which is too bad for him, because Mexicans are now allowed in the Marine Corps.
The point boots documentary is ridiculously fascinating:

What, no back to back? What, no dancing cheek to cheek?
Looks more like the whole theoretical FWB thing to me, especially given the tats, tits and marks, not to mention the "looks more like pencil shavings than anything else" in which they are sprawled, exhausted, or at least spent.

Some of my best memories from the first 14 years of my life (especially the earlier ones) had to do with farms, county fairs, country fairs&so forth. Now so many of the people associated with that are dead, including among them some of the closest.
But I remember. And that's good. I'm grateful both for the past experiences *and* the memories.

I totally misread that as "After petting all the breasts"....
Mexican immigration may be what we need to keep "societal decay" at bay.
Mexicans have extremely strong families. If a Mexican is in the hospital, the room is full of family. Old folks are taken care of at home.
Work ethic? check.
Exceptions to the rule? Sure. But they are exceptions.
Automobile insurance is an improvement opportunity.
Mexicans and their stupid phallic fetishes in the form of shoes. 8th world idiots. What's next, plates in their lips? Oh wait.
So you went to the fair. Cool.
You guys are having a lot of fun this vacation. Good for you.
And it looks like a nice, cool day.

That's Oo-rah.
Hooah is Rangers, or the Army, in general.

We saw a lot of them at St Patrick's Day in Albuquerque a few years ago.
But then many of them probably have some Irish ancestry.

The latest census in Mexico says the average Mexican family is having 2 kids, not 7, so immigration will be slowing, eventually.
"That's Oo-rah.

Damn autocorrect! I wonder if this suggests an Army bias on the part of the programmers....

After African-American which demographic group has the highest proportion of illegitimate births?
I've never been to the Dane Co fair, but always want to go, but when push comes to shove, I think of all that blacktop with no shade on a summer day and say No. My kids have so missed out.
Wow Rebecca Watson has a twin sister.
The shoes are a weird Mexican fashion fad.
From the root culture that also gave us the Zoot Suit and low rider hot rods.
Gonna be in Reno for Hot August Nites soon. Yay. Hot rods, walking in the street with a cocktail in hand, watching the cruise at night and the smell of exhaust in the air.
Take that Al Gore.
:-D
