AZ State {questionable} Fair

i finally ventured out to the state fair.

it had been probably a good 10 years since i had last gone...

and attending the fair again reminded me all too well of why i have not been back since.

luckily, i was in good company.

i mean, unless you are attracted to: 

ginormous crowds of smelly, rude, drunk, smokey and inappropriate people;

having to hand sanitize/wipe everything down with a 'wet one';

enjoy spending 10 dollars on a turkey leg that gets smoked on a communal grill surrounded by the people described above;

hearing profanities that even howard stern himself would be offended by;

contracting an airborne disease;

creepy carnies with teardrop tattoos by their eyes {just smile and nod at these ones!};

and seeing the nastiest of all nast couples make out in every line and around every corner...

i suggest you call it a night in the comfort of your own home.

mr. turkey gave me a good gobble, he was mean, i was so scared...

so i told him i'd see him in a few weeks...

on my dinner plate, sucka!!

i'm starting my christmas list extra early...

item number one: a baby goat.

i did get to see Andrew Zimmerman from 'Bizarre Foods' on the Travel Channel

[terrible picture, i know]

the aforementioned communal grill.

barf!

view from the ferris wheel.

i think i'd like a sugar shack in my backyard, please.

this is me.

still trying to figure out the settings on my camera.

normal setting was not the best;

night setting was not the best.

i forfeit.
