I want my head carved in butter, damn it!

[LaraMN]

Margarine would be less ideal, but acceptable.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Trying out to be Princess Kay, eh?

[LaraMN]

4. Nah, I'd have to be up-league from her.

Since I'm in Northern MN, I'd probably more appropriately have a likeness formed from thousands of taconite pellets.

[_testify_]

2. I Can't Believe Its Not LaraMN!

Har har :)

[LaraMN]

6. Accept no substitutes!

:bounce:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. That sculpture looks like Linda Blair in the Exorcist.

:scared:

[Dangerously Amused]

5. My thoughts exactly.

:scared:

[dpbrown]

24. You should see it spin...

Carve me, Jesus!


OK, that was just wrong...


:scared:

[Dangerously Amused]

30. Dude, I worry about you.

:P

[dpbrown]

37. *I* worry about me sometimes...

But I think I'll be okay if I can find the right exorcist.



:P

7. Princess Kay of the Milky Way!

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite parts of going to the Fair was getting a saltine cracker with a big slab of butter on it at the dairy building. Back in those days, they made real hand-dipped malts too (unlike the machine-made ones they have now).

[Zookeeper]

8. The dairy building is where the best deep-fried cheese curd...

stand is located (actually outside the dairy building). Yummmmm. One of the few things I still like about the Fair since Machinery Hill disappeared.

[miss_american_pie]

9. Deep fried cheese curd?

Are you serious?

[Left Is Write]

10. Are you kidding?

Deep fried cheese curds are a Fair staple.

Really...you MUST go to the Minnesota State Fair.

[miss_american_pie]

11. These are yummy?

And when is the fair? I'm thinking about a road trip. :hi:

[Left Is Write]

14. The Fair is at the end of August through Labor Day.

This year it'll start on the 24th.

Deep fried cheese curds are a treat - but even so, I can only eat two. They're very rich and salty.

Make that road trip. We can share an order!

[miss_american_pie]

18. If I can swing it, I will

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

25. I plan to...

but of course, Minnesota is an annual pilgrimage for me. :)

On a serious note, I really hope gas prices don't force us to cancel the trip. It's 1200 miles one way. If we're there a couple of weeks, we can plan to put about 3000 miles on the car. (Last year, I was there for a month, and all told from start to finish, put nearly 4000 miles on the car.)

I was planning to fly in at the end of July for my cousin's wedding, then take the road trip with my husband and kids in August. I guess it will probably come down to NOT going in July and using the money I would have spent on a plane ticket to buy road-trip gas instead.

It's still cheaper than flying four people out there, especially because we'd have to rent a car.

[miss_american_pie]

34. Yeah, I may be outplanning my finances

I'd like to go out to Philly in June, we have a shower early July, wedding early August, I'd like to make it out to MN sometime after the wedding, and do Boston in October.

And buy a bigger house.

Maybe I can sell one of the kids on ebay? ;)

[Dangerously Amused]

29. Is there enough to split it three ways?

I was tenatively planning a summer road trip up there to see BodyWorlds, but now I may make it a weekend to take in the fair, too.


:bounce:

[Left Is Write]

31. Yes.

I've often split one with my mom and dad or my mom and my husband.

[Zookeeper]

15. The ten days prior to Labor Day...

C'mon, up! I'll take you to the fair..:hi:

[miss_american_pie]

20. Thanks, I'm trying

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

32. It's 12 days, including Labor Day.

:)

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

36. At the beginning of the fall semester at the U.

Minneapolis gets very busy Labor Day Weekend. I move my daughter into the dorm at the U and couldn't find a motel room to save my life. I slept on the dorm room floor.

[Zookeeper]

39. Hey, Evlbstrd...

did you paint the landscape in your post?

[evlbstrd]

40. Yes, I did.

[Zookeeper]

42. Very nice!

It looks like K.C. to me.

How long have you been painting?

[evlbstrd]

45. Thanks very much!

It is KC. And I've been painting for about thirty years.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. I'm gonna make popcorn

With extra LaraMN's melted head.

:popcorn:

[LaraMN]

13. Well, I do have a rather high forehead. You can take a bit off there.

But not too much! I don't want to look all Cro-Magnon, or anything.

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Spoiler:

Butter...




...is PEOPLE!

:scared:

[Debi]

23. Whatever Charlton Heston

Where's your gun????

[SOteric]

16. Waiter! There's a pair of eyes and a pug nose on my asparagus platter...

Can I have an earlobe for the scampi..?

[Debi]

21. You are all making me WAY hungry right now

and the fair is four months away :cry:

[dpbrown]

26. You realize, of course, that people will be eating you in effigy?

Not exactly cannibalism, mind you...

[LaraMN]

27. Eh, well, they'd be well advised to remember;

"A minute on the lips, forever on the hips."
:dilemma:
:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

28. Oh God, that LaraMN I had went straight to my butt!

:7

[Sugar Smack]

33. Where the hell have you been?

:loveya: :hi:

[trof]

35. I want my death mask done in lard.

Just for old times sake.

[joneschick]

41. that's worthy of a sig line LOL

[petronius]

38. But wouldn't that make you a 'butterface'?

:hide:

[swimboy]

43. This is going to take a lot of butter.

but it's going to be stunning.
