NO RIDGE CARNIVAL

[Kyle]

Your famly had one too, eh?

My Grandfather did.

Luckily it had a flaw and came on for HeeHaw too.

 

[kom526]

I hated those.

Because you were the remote control weren't you?

 

[Gilligan]

My Grandfather did.

Luckily it had a flaw and came on for HeeHaw too.

Ha!..ours developed the same flaw! Even later, I discovered that if I arranged the foil on the rabbit ears just right, a grainy version of Dark Shadows would come on in the afternoon right after I got off the school bus and when I was spozed to be starting my chores.

That came to a stop when the old man discovered the TV cabinet was warm to the touch when he got home from work one day. Pop worked a full time job "in the city" in addition to the farm, to make ends meet. That's why our first TV was already a candidate for the Smithsonian when we got it.

For your consideration ...

My Grandfather did.

Luckily it had a flaw and came on for HeeHaw too.

In addition to Lawrence Welk, and HeeHaw, ours came with Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

When I got to pick it was Lassie, Gentle Ben and Avengers. There was just something about Mrs. Peel.... hmmm....

Hot oil kills carny germs.

But not the funk, sterile armpit hair in your funnel cake is still armpit hair in your funnel cake.

Arent those made by the same dirty carnies that run the rides?

Carnies lmao..dirt mungers from all walks of life

 

[Kinnakeet]

The Great Frederick Fair ....where I first caught glimpse of a world out there that was far stranger than I'd ever imagined up to that point. (We didn't even get a TV set until I was 9 years old....a tiny screen in a big cabinet that apparently only came on when Lawrence Welk was playing...)

Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw were the only 2 channels my grandparents in PA got at that time..How I miss those days as a yound lad

 

[Kinnakeet]

Ahhhh the Frederick Fair, one of my guncles won largest onion a few times.
I can hear The Barkers....
See the Fatman, see electric woman, see the midget, Have you ever seen a woman with three breasts?

And the bearded woman and Joe Biden

 

[Monello]

This is what happens when carnivals get outta hand.....If only some Government agency with arrest powers were available.....

Jaw-dropping video shows brutal brawl taking over Federal Hill streets

Shocking new video shows dozens of people brawling in the streets of Baltimore.

At most of the local VFD carnivals, the food stands are run by the various first responder organizations and their auxiliaries. Way back when TPD and I were much younger the rides were operated by the members of the fire department.

Aren't they still run by locals? My ex did community service for a ticket and ran kiddie rides. This was way back though.

The County Fair is the one with the dirty carnies.

That is so cool mitzi! I did community service for reckless endangerment of a police officer at Project Echo in Prince Frederick! For a week I fed the homeless kids breakfast and played basketball with them, They called me Uncle Tony.

There is no way I am not destined to be your next ex!

It was a speeding ticket. Community service instead of points. Jeez.

 

[TPD]

Match SOMD.com. Love it

Oh well. The homeless kidz loved me. I did have to draw the line when they started calling me Dad though.

 

[TPD]

once again, this forum amazes me. Start with A,B,C, end with a car full of one eyed Jacks.

You’ve met my wife!

It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye. Who is this Jack kid?
