Beautiful Wife and I went to the fair with Her Baby Brother, His Wife Whose Boobs I've Seen, and their 1.5 Year Old Baby Daughter.
The back story on the boobs...she dove into a pool, I was sitting there babysitting the kids (around 7-8 years ago), and when she came up out of the water boobs were out of the bikini top. I looked away expecting that one of the nieces would tell her but nobody did so then the time goes by when I could say something. This went on for around a minute (though the time gets longer with each telling) until one of the girls told her. After that we all go up to get food and as I'm going through the line my brother-in-law asks me if I want a burger, hotdog, or chicken and I said, "Actually, I'm kind of in the mood for one of those breasts."
Anyway...we went to the fair and I wore the clothes I had worn to work that day: khakis, a purple/blue striped long-sleeved shirt, black socks, and Birkenstock sandals. I actually wore dress shoes to the customer appointment and slipped on the birks once I got home. I'm pretty sure that the general population at this fair assumed that I was one of them queers. LOL
I had some french fries with vinegar (awesome!) and a snow-cone (ok) and then mostly walked around checking out things like the prize winning pumpkin (967 pounds) and the Texas Holdem tent. The tent had dirt floors, volunteer dealers that were 'working for tips' and a bunch of men trying to look like they were playing poker...if you know what I mean.
And things were so freakin' expensive...$7 for the french fries, $4 for fried dough, $2 for the snow cone, and $7 each to get in the fair. They took my niece on her first merry-go-round ride and it was $3!
It was fun, sort of, and helps me realize that I don't need to go back there every year because the only things that change are the prices, and they go up.

Posted by: blogless on September 24, 2005 09:44 PMokay, that sounded fairly rude, and I'm sorry for that. I just have very strong feelings on the topic of shoes.. hope I didn't offend.
Posted by: blogless on September 24, 2005 09:47 PMChosen - You got that right!
Blogless - No offense taken. No way I was going to wear sandals without socks...too cold and too dirty. :)

Funny boob story, hehe
Sounds like you had a great time - Black socks and sandals?

Karen - I know, I know...but trust me when I say that I was way overdressed for this fair.

That's a fair assessment of the fair. I was appalled by how expensive things were.
