[quote=briansd1][quote=jstoesz]Count me in the fair hating crowd. They are only slightly more fun than parades, which are only slightly better than a blunt object to the eye.[/quote]
I also hate the fair. Why pay to go somewhere where hawkers want to sell you overpriced junk.
The fair is for country folks who’ve never been to the city.
[quote=ocrenter]the fair is a great way to see the cross section of ppl in San Diego. our social circle generally run tight with like minded folks that are our peers in occupation and social status. the fair forces us to break out of that circle and experience the public at large.
unfortunately, the picture isn’t pretty. I knew obesity is an epidemic. but the degree of which that is truly out there out in the general public at large is unreal. I know for most piggs it is quite unpleasant. but every year you should make it a point to go out there just to see what the rest of San Diego look like.[/quote]
The disadvantage of living in a city built around the car is that you don’t see people walking around on the streets.
The worse part of meeting fat people is on the plane. They overflow onto your space and you can’t avoid them.
BTW, obesity is moving up the social ladder pretty quickly. Our standards have changed and the clothing sizes have changed.
Do you think that, our Mayor, Jerry Sanders is fat? I think so. He was worse before he lost weight.[/quote]
you are correct. but at the fair, you get to see the severely morbid ones. the ones so fat that they need to drive around on motorized scooters while downing fried chocolate dipped bacon.
