Every year it is bad, but every summer leading up to an election it gets terrible.

The Iowa State Fair.

As a local, I have a fond resentment of what the Fair brings. National and international attention as out-of-touch politicians try to fit in by eating a corndog, flipping burgers, or looking at a cow sculpted out of butter.

Throngs of overweight, sunburnt dolts meandering through rows of overpriced cheap Chinese-made goods. Hot tub salesmen. Mattress salesmen in the trade building asking anyone stupid enough to stop if they'd like to lay down on the mattress - despite the person being coated in sweat and grime from the day. One person after another, trying to lay down on the same mattress some heifer from WI just rolled her putrid BO all over.

The people that live around the fair treat the fair like their own personal backyard BBQ. Families show up and all get hammered on $9 Budweisers as if this is some special privilege. They're shamelessly loud in public, and let their kids run around barefoot in nothing more than a shit-filled diaper.

The "cast iron nachos" thread has forced me to add nachos to the list...

Nachos- fried tortilla pieces with cheese and a jalapeño slice on top, warmed in the oven or broiler until the cheese melts.

Not a dip, not a casserole, not cheese sauce dumped over a pile of chips...

Add beans/meat/guacamole (to the individual chips, not heaped on top of a pile of chips) and you get "Panchos".

Not rocket science.

Your concoction may be delicious, but it's not "nachos".

Occasionally, some tourists feel the need to hurl themselves over the side of the Royal Gorge Bridge, near here.  Been going on a long time and will likely continue as long as the bridge is there.

Sometimes it's after hours, sometimes it's during regular business hours.  I understand there are cameras positioned around the area but those video clips never seem to get released.  It is approximately 1250 feet from the bridge to the river in the canyon, below.

Then, there's the issue of what to do with the poor soul's vehicle that gets left in the parking lot.  I'm sure they've established protocols for all of this as I read stories of jumpers several times a year.

THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG!!!

Directions: Southern California is a pretty big place, from the northern part of Los Angeles to the Mexican border and out to the 15 is bigger then a lot of  states.

I have had people stop and ask me where Disneyland is, only to find out they drove down from LA to go there and wound up in San Diego. They are pretty bummed when they find out it is about 2 hours back the way they came.

TV and movies have people thinking that all the major cities, tourist attractions and landmarks are like 10 minutes from one another.

Tourists do act like fucking idiots though. Anyone who has ever lived in a tourist area will tell you that.  I don't know what it is about being on vacation that makes people lose about 1/3 of their IQ (though alcohol is often a factor). This contributes to the "please spend your money and GTFO" attitude.

Swimming in the ocean (haven't witness a drowning personally, but read about them).

One time I did see a tourist that had rented a jet-ski get washed into a fishing pier.  He was hugging onto a barnacle encrusted piling for dear life while rough surf and current was pounding over him.  I remember looking down from the pier and seeing the fear on his face in the between the crashing waves.

Sí. I get nods of approval or at one place, refresco gratis. Not that I'm drinking soda anymore(been a year now). I guess it's cool that they always offer. Might be that I'm nuts for their lengua tacos.



I've been taking an accelerated Spanish language course this summer and it's made my cravings for any kind of Mexican or Salvadoran food really intense. Trying to squeeze 20 weeks of Spanish into (23) 3 hour classes. So far, so good. 101 passed with a very comfortable margin. Working on 102. Fingers crossed

Racing to Pat's/Geno's to decide which cheesesteak is best.  They both suck.

One of the beautiful things about this site is we always have someone who knows the exact answer to the question.

Yes, my son (USMC stationed in HI) has a girlfriend who hula dances (she's super hot) for a living because jobs for locals sucks. Yes.....they do hate the vacationer crowd.

In fairness and totally related.....I'm from NE PA and we used to be a tourist destination (Poconos). We had the market on the Honeymoon resort trade and nice little ski areas. We had wonderful close knit little mountain towns and weekenders who had homes for years.

That all changed when the scum came looking for cheap real estate.

Look at the census and crime data for that area over the last even 20 years. Every scumbag from NYC and Metro NJ that wore out their welcome there, or most likely on the run from owing somebody money, came and invaded us turing it into a wooded fucking ghetto. Crime, rape, murder, trash and graffiti came. My township never had a murder until 1991. Now it's a weekly occurrence. never see a local name mentioned.

Now there's lots of Arfcommers here that have moved to the Poconos and tell me how THEY are "different", but fail to realize that we've heard that tired old line from ALL of them over the last few decades and they are all equally worthless sub-human garbage.

After 9/11....not 48 hours after, it seemed like every one of those scumbags was popping their trunks and selling memorial hats with embroidered FDNY, and NYPD logos and T shirts. NOT 48 HOURS AFTER!

Now that's what I call ruined. I moved 970 miles away and sometimes i think I can still smell the stench of those fucking animals.
