Sometimes I worry about you…
On the other hand, the bacon-wrapped, deep-fried pickle spears were awesome.
As was the Texas-sized maple and bacon donut. But I don’t like the way the stuffed animal Mollie won is looking at it. And is that a giraffe or a hippo?
While at the fair, we stopped by the hobby display pavilions. The woodworking exhibits were awesome. I loved this pirate chest. I would like to put my booty in there… uh… so to speak.
All in all, it was a great day at the fair, hanging out with two of my brothers, a nephew and my youngest daughter.
A county fair makes you feel like you are somewhere in the middle of this vast country, surrounded by farmland and small towns. Except for the palm trees and the ocean off in the distance. A fair combines so much that is good about America, so many things that make you glad to be alive. And then we eat a lot of food that seems designed to make sure we don’t live that long. We are so weird.
Pouring My Art Out 
I used to love to wander around fairs when I could still walk well.
Have you been doing your ‘benzeknees’ exercises?
LOL bacon porn. Total bacon porn . . . even to generalize it as pork porn! Looks like an amazing little eatery! 😉
Where porn and heart disease meet… to die…
I can only hope a bacon booth appears at my state fair this year.
Also, I really love this part: “A fair combines so much that is good about America, so many things that make you glad to be alive. And then we eat a lot of food that seems designed to make sure we don’t live that long. We are so weird.” That’s us in a nutshell!
You gotta love us!
That was a great last little bit, everyone liked it.
Thanks.
BACON-a-rama! Fairs are always fun – but a bit hot for one this time of year? Never too hot for bacon, though
We hit it on a day that wasn’t too hot, but you need to plan for that.
Truffle gouda bacon fries? Bacon-wrapped deep fried pickle spears? Good lord man, I’m drooling. Our county fair is next week, I believe, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that sort of bacon madness there.
If you have to kill yourself, this may be the way to go.
OR..
If you were thinking of offing yourself, this might change your mind!
That would be ironic if the thing that gave you the will to live was so bad for you that it would kill you sooner or later.
And not even in an Alanis sort of way!
Right… without the music… but with more fat.
Wow. You guys really love your bacon huh?
We love to deep fry stuff.
I mean don’t get me wrong, in Australia we like bacon, but we don’t have a bacon flavoured obsession. The only thing bacon flavoured is, well, bacon, and perhaps instant noodles. Oh and maybe the odd savoury chips or pork rinds.
We used to be among the best in the world at making things. Now we just make the best junk food. You can’t take that away from us.
When I win the lotto I’m going to go on a junk food tour of America…and book two seats on the flight home.
And a nurse with a defibrillator…
Superb posting…
Get your gnashers around that beauty, wow 🙂
I agree with you on the skull chest, now that looks
a mean investment if I ever saw one 🙂
Andro
The detail was astounding.
great post…especially that sense of “America, I worry about you” Something wonderful about this country despite so many un-wonderful things. Fairs and simple things give me hope we might all get along one day and take care of this beautiful place.
We can all hang out together in the intensive care unit waiting for our bypass surgery.
fair looks fun, food ewwww!
They have regular food too.
what’s your definition of normal?
Uh… I don’t have one…
that explains a lot! lol
No it doesn’t.
yes it does
ok
I vote giraffe…and that donut looks ******* amazing; I feel an angina coming on just thinking about eating it.
It was a good food day…
…and the windows wound down for the car ride home I take it…
Well… yes…
well if you’re having an angina coming any way you might as well eat it! lol
I am very hungry all of a sudden…I must go deep fry something…mars bars are a big hit in Scotland!
They had that.
I’ve no doubt…I don’t think I could ever bring myself…
We will deep fry anything.
sound like a plan, but don’t forget to wrap it in bacon!
I deep fried a pig stuffed with and wrapped in bacon…we’re out of mars bars.
You could sell those near the pig races.
Makes perfect sense; it’d be just like picking your own lobster from the restaurant’s tank just next to the kitchen.
Sort of.
a big is bacon, can you wrap it in chocolate?
That will take up valuable bacon space…but coz it’s you.
shucks for me?! *kicks the floor*
What can I say; you’ve earned it.
i won’t argue, cause i’ve learned not to argue with men…lol plus bacon…
It is extremely difficult to argue with bacon, granted.
it is isn’t it?!
I suspect we’re not the only ones with these issues…as it were.
no sadly not! ha. I even had some bacon for lunch. 😉
You have to call it Canadian ham… that’s the new rule.
why
Because you call ham Canadian bacon.
we do?
Don’t you???
don’t we what?|
Call ham Canadian bacon… because somebody does. I didn’t make that up.
we don’t
Keep telling yourself that.
The bacon in the hotel looked like it had just been laid…so I had smoked salmon instead!
you cheated!
If you’d’ve seen it you’d’ve let me off…how can I make it up to you?
ummmmm…
on bacon
Ha
Bacon just got laid? As in hatched? Or did it get lucky???
Would you want to eat it either way?
Well now that you mention it… no…
I hope not.
I do it… but I always win.
Everyone wins…I’m just saying it’s difficult.
I agree.
Canadian ham… ha!
nom nom
no no
How nice is that?
Quite, I thought.
He is just a seed full of niceness.
A dollop of joy.
A pinch of politeness.
A mound of manners.
A heaping helping of helpfulness.
A big ball of benefits.
Now you are just bragging.
Not quite……I have two of them!
Put them both to good use!
Have you seen the new blog?! I’m nearly ready to invade yours…how does one become a guest blogger? Have you been practising your German and West Irish accents?
The new blog as in the Babbage blog? I can’t even remember how I got there last time. I need to see if I am following it or something, right? And guest posting can’t be too hard. But I have never set it up myself.
Yes, it’s pmaoaudioblog.wordpress.com and you’re not following at the moment. I have even less idea than you how to go about guest posting and commenting!
How do I get there if I’m not following… wait… let me try just typing it in?
It’s a theory…you can just highlight stuff now, right click and then left click on the option that says search on google or something…it’s very clever.
I think that worked… is it all yellow???
Oh yes…it’s quite in your face…is it too much?
I have my sunglasses on, remember?
I am looking around…
I tried typing that in my follow list editor thing and nothing happened. Can you send me a link. I will try to follow it this time.
If you type it straight into your browser it’ll take you there.
I did… it did… I think I am the first follower of… a follower of… myself…doing a blog about me… maybe ever in the history of anything???
It’s a catchy tag line! You can use it in your introduction!
I am just trying to find my way around. So the blog is actually called TBE Ltd… etc, right?
Technically it’s Trenton Babbage Enterprises Ltd. PPL & Co. but that wouldn’t fit on the header – I decided to add a few more things I thought might be funny so changed the title to be a little more accommodating – the front page is static so should explain everything to newcomers.
We have everything but audio content, I guess.
I see the old posts, but I am having trouble finding any actual audio posts… or are those what we need to work on next?
The audio stuff are under the page titles up top, hovering on them should give a drop-down list – click on Hatchet Carmichael or Hatchet Carmichael Bio…that should get you to the ones you know.
I figured it out.
You can wrap anything in chocolate.
what if one is not big on chocolate?
Then one is crazy.
Now you are talking.
well i am Canadian eh!
We had the Fonz… he said; eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!
he also liked his thumb a lot
You have no idea… ha
lol
It doesn’t wok that way.
he could eat quickly after the nitro! lol
The doctors frown on that.
since when do men care about doctors?
True.
problem solved!
One problem.
what’s the next one?
So many to choose from.
Hey, it’s not really living if you skip the fun stuff that kills ya, right? Salivating at the bacon porn. Your fair beat mine, easy. So jealous.
Weird Al and bacon. Two great tastes that work together.
ahaha bacon porn!
Deal with it!
i am it’s making me laugh!
We do not claim to make sense. We are Americans!
i know believe me i know..
And you guys are like the weird neighbor who lives in the apartment above us.
you mean the normal neighbour
Who drinks maple syrup and makes up words for ham.
pft maple syrup…you know how expensive that stuff is?!
Not ours.
you guys don’t even spell neighbour right
This is why we left England. Don’t nag us.
or favour
colour… me fantastic…
you spelled it right!
We like to make our words shorter.
savouring the moment
We don’t have time to add ‘u’s’ to words… we have stuff to do.
