I know, I'm comming out of retirement to rant, but after talking to Ryan today, I realized how much the State Fair really sucks really huge donkey balls.
first off, it costs about $30-40 just to have fun there. Oh sure, you can pay to get in, and walk around for a few hours... but then? oh yea! you gotta try the awesome food! yum! oh wait, i can get or make awesome food just about anywhere. oh! except for anything_deepfried.com (the official site for the vendors of the State Fair) which i personally dont need.

Happened yesterday, and it scared the everliving crap out of me. O.k. so, its a cold and rainy day, and I had just picked up some delicious Bojangles after a quick trip to the store. I'm going down Western, turn right onto the 440 ramp, and go towards the outer beltine. As I come around the pretty steep turn before the onramp, I start to bring my car foward as the lane becomes straight, when all of a sudden, the back of the car decides that it has had way too much angular momentum on the wet concrete, and swings around, sending my car spinning.
After a few go rounds, and rounds, and facing off with 5 o'clock traffic on the beltline, my car goes straight into the gaurd rail on the left side of the onramp, and slams into it at the front bumper. This was probably the best thing to happen all day, since the collision somehow allowed me to regain control of my car, and even set my car in the direction of traffic. I pulled off the road for a second to collect my thoughts, and get out of my car to assess the damage. The only thing that could be seen was a few scratches on my front bumper, and some grass caught on tires. The only damage inside the car was the 32oz. sweet tea that I had just purchased at bojangles which was now all over my seat, and floor.
All in all, probably one of the best ways my first accident could have ended. No one was hurt, and there was no real damage to anything, (although, I went past the gaurd rail after work today, and it looked pretty tore up) or at least anything my tax dollars dont already cover. But I'm definatly not looking foward to ever hanging to go through anything like that again.
