Crazy But Able

I remain greatly amused that I can post to my weblog from the state fair. Not quite as amused as last year, but still pretty cool.

So far, we went to see the northern alliance radio network guys, got my “If I don’t plug it, it won’t sell: how to get people to buy my book and why my income depends on it” book signed by Hugh Hewitt, I got my picture taken with Mike Nelson (yes, the MST3K Mike Nelson), and I even got Mike to sign my whiteboard. (I was writing things on the whiteboard as the radio guys were doing their show. It’s like, polite radio heckling.) Mike also signed a burned copy of the MST3K episode “Space Mutiny”… he wrote “You thief!” before his signature.

I’ve eaten a gyro, a shish-ka-bob, and a batter coated, deep fried twinkie on a stick. And the day’s just barely half over. My next weird food I want to snag is a “Scotch egg”, which is supposed to be a hard boiled egg, covered in bacon, battered, and deep fried. On a stick. I’ll give a full report, with pictures, later.

(I just told my mom about the scotch egg and she made a serious “ewww” face.)

Mom’s favorite part of the state fair (so far) is people watching, rabbit judging, and the foofy scarecrow with a ceramic face and pointed boots (I got a picture of the face, but not the boots), and the “canned twinkies” (twinkies in resin). Peggy’s favorite thing about the state fair was a painting of a cat in a sink.

Alright, I’m signing off. See you all later. Pics to come. (I got some good ones of Hugh Hewitt in the AM 1280 portable studio, Rocketman from powerline blog eating a pronto pup, and this year’s crop of politically motivated seed art.)
