You really have to see the coaster in person, it looks like a toy version of the real thing. You couldn’t pay me to ride it.
Nothing like a drugged out Carnie to instill confidence in an
Amusement Ride..
Move it over dad ’cause I’m a double-dipper
Upside down on the zip zip zipper
One, two, one, two, three, I’ve got a ticket so ride with me
Mary go down on the merry-go-round
All is fair on the fair ground
Love go slow, love go fast
Licorice twist gonna whip your ass
Rollercoaster of love (say what?)
Rollercoaster (oh yeah, it’a a love rollercoaster), ooh ooh, ooh, ooh

Carnies. Yeah, ya gotta love ’em. Tats, mullets (if young), comb-over (if old), bad teeth, usually dirty blond hair, wispy beards, yellow pallor, unhealthy looking druggies or alky’s (or both), HS dropouts.
An American fixture and the lifeblood of traveling carnivals.
In a fit of wishing to revisit our youth, Geoff C. and I decided to ride the Octopus at the fair one year. If you don’t know the ride it spins, simultaneously, in four different directions. After the first 45 seconds or so, I thought we’d sustained permanent damage. The remaining minutes were like a physical endurance test…or torture..take your pick.

Did you retain your lunch during that ordeal?
