"Would you like chili and cheese with that?"


I pulled into the parking garage beneath Scope at 9:12am. I pulled out of the parking garage beneath Scope at 9:44pm. I sold footlong hotdogs at the circus for TWELVE HOURS last Saturday. Why would I do something so absurd and painful to my feet, legs, and dignity? Answer, for charity. Aaaaand because I am a good sister. Aaaaaand because I want to complete this triathlon in September!
Quote of the day, as spoken by "Penny" the concession stand manager when giving me the cash register orientation, with serious eyes and lowered voice: "DO NOT give change to the carnies. They will ask you for change; do not give it to them." Oh the poor carnies! Even in their own environment, no respect.

Looking good there with all your wieners.

1. I love that you of course got a picture of this.

2. Why don't the Carnie's get their change? That seems unfair. They have rights too.

3. Please please please work at Amusements of America at Mount Trashmore next. Please.

Thanks for the support, all. Next: Friday night, selling concessions again at Scope. This time for the International Tatto military band extravaganza. Oh Lawd...
