Ok...The Iowa State Fair is going to a ticket system for all food purchases/food vendors. Cash is no longer accepted, you must purchase tickets. To read the response on the internet one would think they are outlawing corn dogs....Yes, I totally agree this will be a hassle. HOWEVER, may I present one piece of evidence...The Bud Tent. You must purchase tickets to get a beer at the Bud Tent...has that deterred people from purchasing beer? Are you kidding? It's still one of the busiest places on the grounds. I agree that most food purchases are done on impulse and if you don't have food tickets, then you must go wait in line, get your tickets, go back to the food vendor and that will suck...I think that a prepaid card system or use your debit card system would be simpler, BUT its not my decision to make. The bottom line is, you bring $100 with you to spend on food and drink at the state fair...once you get in the gate, buy your $100 worth of tickets and BAM, you're set...have extra tickets at the end of the day...you can use them again next year, or here's novel idea..sell them to another fair goer once you get outside the gate...we do that all the time with admission tickets we've bought in advance. Again, I think it will be a hassle and having an assload of tickets to keep track of will be a pain, BUT...this helps the vendors with theft deterrence and it helps the Fair because lo and behold, other State Fairs who have done this have learned that they were being screwed by the vendors by upwards of 20%...Now, some say that the Fair is just being greedy, BUT when you can run a stand on the State Fair grounds for 10 days and make enough money to live for the next year, and I don't mean just live, I mean live lavishly, who is the one being greedy? Food for thought...(I'm getting a real kick out of the fucktards threatening a boycott...I would bet that 90% of those bitching don't go to the fair in the first place or are just blowing out their ass and will go anyway.)
Creighton Prep, a private, catholic high school in Nebraska is now going to randomly test students for drugs and alcohol...(Can I get a standing ovation?) I think its laughable that there are people crying out "Invasion of Privacy" and "Where is our freedom?" I'm sorry, being a parent of a teenager I am of the opinion that until you live on your own, under your own roof, paying your own way, you have no rights and no freedoms. Possession or consumption of alcohol under the age of 21 is illegal. Possession or consumption of drugs is illegal. If you sign a code of conduct policy and wish to attend a private school, you are subject to follow those rules. Yes, kids will be kids. Yes, I drank in high school, but I also damn well knew the consequences. There are far too many times, especially this day and age, where a slap on the wrist is deemed appropriate discipline, especially when there is an important game on the line. There are far too many people who look the other way. Far too many parents who have stopped parenting and are looking for someone else to raise their kids, because they want to be their child's best friend instead. You want to go to Creighton Prep and reap those advantages? Get ready to give your hair sample and give up your pipe...you have plenty of time in your life to break the rules or to fuck up your future...you only have four years of high school. (I'm really getting a kick out of the fucktard whose telling everyone to "hit me up if you wanna learn how to get past these tests..yo" Do you think your name hasn't gone into a data base asshat?
Dennis Rodman...your Visa has now been revoked and congratulations, you have won permanent residence in North Korea!!!! We don't want your dumbass back!!!! Good luck outrunning the wild dogs when your unstable new bff gets tired of your shit.
Nationally known companies are urging swine producers to eliminate gestation crates, or they will not buy their products...hmm are the Peta loving "cry foul" "oh it's cruel and unusual" going to have the same reaction when half of each litter of piglets are now crushed or eaten by mama pig, because that is what a gestation crate helps prevent? You wanna see cruel and unusual, watch a "free range" sow eat her own babies or lie down on them and crush them all....
For the love of all that is holy SAY IT ISN"T SO!!!! There is a Velveeta shortage...Dear God in heaven, make it stop...if any of you are out, I will have a stock pile of the golden deliciousness in my pantry...
I'm adding a random photo in an effort to get rid of Gaga....
