On my humor blog this week we finished one 90s MiSTing, started another, and ran my last(?) batch of pairwise comparisons for a while. Here's what you could have been seeing:
- MiSTed: Altered Destiny, Part 32
- March Pairwise Brackety Contest Thing: Potion of Bubbles versus Self-Checkout
- Statistics Saturday: Unsolved Mysteries About The Blocks Of Chocolate Smeared On The Side Of My Mask
- March Pairwise Brackety Contest Thing: The Final Four: The First Two: Easter in a Leap Year versus Organization
- March Pairwise Brackety Contest Thing: The Final Four: The Second Two: April Fool's Day versus Snooze Alarms
- What's Going On In Gasoline Alley? Is the place actually named Gasoline Alley? January - March 2023
- March Pairwise Brackety Contest Thing: The Final Two: The Two: Preheating versus Froogle
- MiSTed: Jaded Views, Part 1
Now ... is it time for Jackson County Fair pictures? Ah, let's hope and see.
Another funhouse-type attraction and more cartoony art that was fun to look at. I believe the lights on the words 'Monkey Maze' reflect a dazzling pattern rather than nearly half of them being burned out; that is something that the LED era gives us, after all.
I know what you're looking at here: that crocodile wearing the pool ring. Oh also the Not Really Trying To Be Legally Distinct From King Louis orangutan.
Toontown's another place to hang out, for people younger than we were. That is a Donkey Kong on the upper level, right?
This side's got generally less interesting cartoon mayhem, although the Audrey II isn't bad.
Looking down at the Goblet Toss and other carnival games. The Ring of Fire or another model along those lines is way in the background, where we didn't ride.
More carnival games and you see there in blue, yet another GateKeeper-model plush! We'd love to know the story of why Cedar Point doesn't have an exclusive on these dolls.
And here's another fun house, this one actually the Fun House. Why the snow theme? That's a fine question. Probably something German behind it.
You know how the Bavarians are with their beer and penguins.
Family portraits hidden inside the funhouse, which are fun.
And there's the Ring of Fire, the largest travelling portal ring on the carnival circuit!
And here's a Himalaya-type ride in-between passenger rides. Little surprised they emptied it out this completely; maybe the operator was on break.
And here I am once more taking pictures of weird lights and glowy colors instead of anything with a specific purpose.
