Joe Mauer's Minnesota State Fair Advice

"lmbo" is some pretty nifty writing.  

I did, BTW.

When I was in high school. I took a girl on a date to the county fair. 

While on the tilt-o-whirl in motion. I threw up. 

Like a gentlemen I turned my head to the side... but chose the wrong direction. 

For those still with the story and those who wish to hear the details. 

Here was the result of the rest of my date. 

The tossed cookies stuck to the side of the tilt-o-whirl and then proceeded to slide (while remaining stuck to the side) toward my date. It happened in kind of slow motion. She could see it coming toward her but could not move to escape it. Some of it actually crawled across her and kept going. The horror was evident in her eyes. She let a different type of scream from the normal on a tilt-o-whirl scream. 

Surprising enough... the date was over at that point. Who knew that girls don't like getting thrown up on. I know that now and try not to do that ever again. 

She went home to change. There was not a second date. 

 

I had the opposite experience. A good friend dared me to ride one of those spinning bullet rides that go around like a ferris wheel. Just two cars, one on each end of a long pole. Caged in. No way out. Round and round, spinning rapidly at the same time. 

My friend lost his cookies about half way through the first rotation. It all stayed in the car, in a space the size of the front seat of a prius. Buckled in. For about 2 minutes worth of ride.

For some reason I've never forgotten that.
