No clue if the “no ears” on the goats picture was real or not. But they maim animals for our county fair here in Ohio too. I have seen ears cut off animals, and horns, and other sad things too. I really can’t remember the specifics. I must have blocked it from my mind.

I’m disturbed by the images on the Diskotek ride…particularly the woman in the pink/white striped stockings. She’s looking pretty Dominatrix-like with that idiot “dancing” with her. What kind of discos they got in It-lee anyways?
And what county fair post is this with no pictures of Carnies? The shame.

You slayed me with this whole post. I have to admit that the Tic Tac Toe was brillant.

What you need is a little peep hole camera in your fanny pack. Those guys with the baseball bats MIGHT have been on their way to play kitten ball. I won’t go into it here.

Darn those goat bobbers! (Is that what you call the people who trim ears and legs?) Someone should put them on a giant medieval rack and stretch them out to 13’10″ tall so that they can’t some to the fair anymore. That would be justice.

I’m at outrage at the stereotyping of Italians in this post…
No, not really.
And I love attending all my local state and county fairs, especially for the goats. Oh yes, I love seeing the goats piss and shit on each other in those pens. I’ve even had the privilege of seeing one billy goat fuck another.
Yay!

I just go to fairs for the food. I must get a funnel cake and cotton candy and a turkey leg. My husband is all, “Are you EIGHT or something?” Um no. I imagine there are a lot of grown ups who have to get a funnel cake and cotton candy and a turkey leg at county fairs.

Heinous my dear, heinous.
And have you seen the Bake off? Neighbors pitted against neighbors whilst being forced to wear dowdy attire, lest they take someones eyes off the prize.
I once saw a big fat sow giving birth right there for the world to see. It was gruesome indeed. Fat pig.
The Fair ain’t fair baby, you said it.

OMG, that part about the italian rides? LOL!
What really happened to those goats ears? Cuz I don’t see any ears.
I’m not a fair person, I think they are a rip. Not to mention if I eat there I generally get a stomach ache. I think it’s the food in such close proximity to the animal yuckies.

I just wanna know who gave the Rabbitmeister the black eye. Was that you? It’s not nice to take out your anger on the little creatures. Those persecuted goats can fend for themselves. I know, life just ain’t fair.

Girl, you are totally whacked. You know that, don’t you? But I love the way you take a simple thing like going to the county fair and turn it into some Romanesque animal torturing mafia run racket. You’re my idol.

Earless goats?
Can’t we get them, I dunno, some headbands with a pair of ears attached?…
Just to make them feel better, you know.
Did I say them? I mean me. It would make me feel better. Poor little earless fellows.

Yikes–earless goats? It reminds me of my favorite Easter comic where there are two chocolate bunnies, and one has a bite taken out of his butt while the other’s ears are bitten off. The first one is saying, “My butt hurts!” and the second is saying, “What?”
