I heard about the rides smelling like urine and one guy litterally shitting his pants after a ride.

I haven't been to the Fair in 20 years for good reason. I'm sure it didn't get better.

Can you get your gun in? Or are they going with metal detectors? I wouldn't go down there anyway, but just curious.
I heard the fair is overrun by illegal aliens anyway. |

vatos in hairnets, combined smell of corndogs, urine, sewage and BO, overpriced tickets to 45sec. rides with sticky handles and seats, illegal aliens, gangbangers walking with their arms wrapped around the hickey-covered necks of their skanks-du-jour, rigged games on the Midway, Aztlaners herding their litters of grimy-faced welfare-pups through the crowds, strange puddles of foul-smelling liquids everywhere, carnies, What's not to love about the fair? |

As a lark, back on one particularly boring Sunday in 1992, with nothing better to do I headed down to meet some friends at "Hamburger Works." A friend of a friend happened to be my future wife.
Of course, I began the whole day off on the wrong foot. I used to drive a beat-up International Scout II that was so ugly, I had a running joke with myself that I would try to park next to a dumpster to save others the pain. So, rumbling into the Hamburger Works parking lot, I spied a dumpster with an open parking space. As I headed to it, in slipped a Pontiac Sunbird. Dang. As I got out of my truck, I blurted out (I was trying to be humorous, really), "Hey, your car looks just great next to that dumpster." Later that day, we found that we had a mutual dislike for Billy Ray Cyrus and his "Achy Breaky Heart." On such things is love built upon. Rick PS, avoid the "Dollar Night' like the plague. |

I got patted down in front of the family. DPS guy asked if I had any knives/guns, as he was grabing my front pocket. I showed him my Winchester multi-tool ($3.99), which he said I could not take in because it had a blade. I gave it to him to "hold" because it wasn't worth the $4 to walk back to my car. He was proud of himself and let me through. I was proud of myself, because I kept two cold steel pieces on my person.

I went last night.
Not too bad. The typical Wal-Mart crowd which makes me feel so handsome, thin, and attractive by comparison. Blew thru 100 bucks like it was nothing. My son had a great time. Little Ed could have fun in a bomb shelter tho. I rode that giant slingshot thing and got the video. I look like I'm about ready to shyt my pants too. That shit was SCAREY! D. AZEX |

God damn that's an accurate description of the State Fair. I haven't been there in years. The last time was only to see a band that was playing there. I don't care what anybody says...Illegal Aliens make everything worse. |

They were patting people down? Last year at the county fair there wasn't any security screening at all.
What time did you get there? |

went sunday afternoon, no pat down, no metal detectors. my wife and i just love to people watch, good place to do that. even though we didn't go on any rides, got a soda or two and couple bites to eat, went through $60. damn it is expensive. lots of security - pd, sheriff, rent-a-cops with guns, ghetto bird flying around...i will not go to it at night though.

Just got back... it wasn't too bad. The Game and Fish building was great. We rode some rides, ate some food, watched the Supercross bikes, climbed the rock wall.
Did anyone go and play laser tag? It was mildly amusing, my 8 year old loved it though. |
