I just got back from the Austin Rodeo '09. I'm terribly disappointed I forgot my camera; there were so many insane rides. They had several rotating, flipping arm rides, one of those straight loops that just go around on a car, and even one of those centrifugal UFO rides. That was by far my favorite; I almost got kicked out of the fair for turning myself upside down.
I collect them. I figure the worst thing I can do to them dignity-wise is save up a bunch and turn the lot over to a bunch of first-year anthropology students to make fun of.
Still have my "fornicator" booklet from that garage sale last year.
Location: Give me the coffee and no one gets hurt! LOL

Back when I had long hair and a goatee, I was waiting for at a bus stop and this lady gave me a pamphlet to SAVE ME. I kept it and read it every night!
Apparently I need to add to my sign outside the door. It currently says NO SOLICITATION, THANK YOU. I just printed up a new one:
NO SOLICITING
THIS INCLUDES:
- RELIGIOUS VISITS/INVITES
- SURVEYS/PETITIONS
- DOOR TO DOOR SALES
- DOOR TO DOOR NONPROFITS
Because what I've been running into the past few weeks is that people seem to keep exempting themselves from the "solicitation" label, and it's pissing me off.
The other night some guy actually walked door to door IN THE RAIN to try and get money for a make-a-wish ripoff that didn't even sound real. I told him no thank you and left him in the rain.
I hate the door to door thing. I really, really hate it. I used to get in fights with my teachers over school fundraisers because I'd bring the participation levels way down. No one should be doing that shit.
I need to post the no soliciting religious visits, reason being is because smack dab in the middle of my subdivision is a mormon church. They come up to my door just about everyday in there little tidy suites talking about Joseph Smith and his god dam plates and how he deciphers that shit in one month. It's annoying and pathetic, makes me glad that atleast I'm not prancing around wasting my life going door to door for some shit guy.
