No, he's a brick of sawdust with a thin coating of felt!
 Yeah, here is how I knew that the game that I actually played was impossible... ...ready? ...this is stunning! The guy told me that he would give me three balls for another five dollars and that he would go ahead and give me the biggest stuffed animal if I won. I told him that I knew that I couldn't win and that I had only played because my son wanted me to try it... he then said that he would give me the largest toy AND all of my money back if I won... I said "no" again... he looked over to someone in another booth and then said that he would give me the largest toy in the booth AND ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS if I got a ball in the basket. Do you honestly think that anyone could win this? NO FUCKING WAY. The old high pressure sale, eh? Every time you say, "no," they sweeten the deal--which only proves that you were correct to assume that you were going to lose your money. Sigh...there was a guy who came to my new house wanting to install a security system like this; I don't know if he was for real or not, but I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to purchase ANYTHING that day--I was busy painting and hadn't shopped around ya know? But nooo...he pulled out all the stops, reduced our cost to $0, just as long as we wrote a check for $69 which would later be refunded. As if I would be stupid to pass up such a great deal...yeah, a great deal of bullshit... Right... why the fuck would you write him a check that they would need to refund later? What an asshole. :LOL: I love salespersons. Oh it gets better...after I totally told him no, he starts looking all sad and says that he travels door-to-door out of his own pocket! ROFL..."next..." ...which is another way of him saying: "Good choice, noble homeowner. I was going to take your money and you would never have heard from me again." :LOL: Maybe that fucker needs a job at the carnival! SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

I find it amusing that nobody has been surprised by this part of my story:
"...so you pay the guy who is standing there smoking a joint and your son goes for the ride. I am not even joking about the joint either... this guy was steady smoking a medium-sized joint while taking tickets." I found this to be extremely funny... the guy was just smoking away on a tightly-rolled marijuana cigarette in full view of the public. SUPERJOINT RITUAL - http://www.superjointritual.com

They are the worst... 
The restaurant that I used to work for used to host one of these Carnivals every year. And every year, those DAMNED "carnies", the workers, would use our facilities to wash up! They completely messed up the lavatories for everyone else... 
I'm surprised there aren't more accidents at these type of Carnivals...I mean, their level of "safety" doesn't seem to be up to par. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

 No clowns, unless you count the third grade drop-outs who were running the rides as clowns... they weren't wearing clown suits or anything. Carnies. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I've never been to one of those traveling Carnies. They've always looked too sketchy for me in a "Something Wicked This Way Comes" sort of way. But I'm glad at least that your son had a good time in spite of the assholes who work there.

And another thing...
Where do the carnies get their pompous attitudes??? Don't they know...THEY'RE CARNIES!

Dontcha just love those carnie hot dogs

IceNine said: So, you go to the ticket booth and speak to the really fat woman with teeth that are all rotten, I mean REALLY rotten, like all over all her front teeth, and you give her $18 for 24 ride tickets. The rides cost a minimum of 3 tickets with some being 5 tickets.
Do they have a night where you can ride unlimited rides for one price? The traveling carnival that comes to Indiana University every summer does this, and IMHO, it's the only night worth attending. The "ride ticket" system is a rip-off. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

Last year I got sucked into one of those nasty carnivals. Spent over $60 on some cheesy rides and stupid games for the kids. They loved it but I felt like I had been mugged when I left.
Then, this old hag that was manning one of the kiddie rides (yeah, she was toothless) was cooing at my daughter, and aske dif she could give her a kiss. I didn't see any harm in it, until she bent down and I spotted a huge, nasty welt on her head that was puss-filled & scabbed-over!!! 
We scrubbed my daughter's face with every wipe that we had in the diaper bag. For about a week afterwards, I feared that my little one would come down with hepatitis or something. I was traumatized.

My son and I actually got hurt on the BIG SLIDE
at one of the carnivals 'round here. He was sitting on my lap having a GRAND time, when, BAM, we went AIR-BORN on the last bump. BAM! I landed right on my tailbone and my son's knee cut his lip! 
If you've ever hurt your tailbone, U know it takes months before that feels right again.
So, now, they've taken about $80 from me that night AND I couldn't work for a couple of days after... DAMN!! Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |
