steinrokkan posted:Isn't funnel cake just a differently shaped donut? and yeah prior post aside, if they do the funnel cake in like little bits of string 1/16" in diameter, you're gonna get a weird cracker-like consistency, but if they do them 1/4" or wider, you get that donut inside texture with the crunchy outer. Also if they don't offer you a side of maple syrup or peach/raspberry/strawberry/[whateverberryyourstateloves] preserves for dipping, they are doing it wrong. What I'm saying is watch the proprietors make some for a few people, and if you find half-eaten ones all over the nearby trash bins, beware.

At the 2019 Mountain State Fair just outside of Asheville there was an outbreak of Legionnaires disease caused by a hot tub display. 4 people died and another 150 got sick with 100 of these people having to be hospitalized. Luckily we went on the last day of the fair and the display had already been removed. Got to see some bigass pumpkins though!

Guttlesswonder posted:Calgary is an underrated city. I love the atmosphere up there year-round. If it wasn't for the harsh weather it would be a great place to move to. For now, it is a great fun to visit until this global warming thing picks up. What!? It absolutely is not. If anything it's overrated. Calgary is seven high-rise condos, five empty office buildings, the world's shortest tower, the worst stadium on earth (acoustically), and 3,500 sq km of the most depressing suburban sprawl. When I moved there I had a plan to explore a different part of the city each weekend on foot. I figured it would take me a few months to see it all. By day three I walked to the airport out of boredom. The "city" is miniscule and has nothing in it. The new library is cool.

The UP Michigan mines were salted with Cornish immigrants who had worked in similar mines in England and a pasty is basically a perfect mine lunch so they caught on with the whole population. You can find pasties basically anywhere UP Michiganders might have wandered, so all of Michigan and most Michigan border states.

Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:Keeping on brand with this thread, it really sounds like this is a booth at a county fair. This kind of thing was, in all seriousness, one of the big social functions of county fairs way back when. A way for people from different villages and towns to meet each other, since they're usually so far apart and travel so slow.

OMFG FURRY posted:bars like that always have some of the most god awful well whiskey I spent most of the late 90s playing in cover bands in places just like this. I am not kidding when I say that playing a Lynyrd Skynyrd song would either start, or stop a fight. One place had two songs on the jukebox; "Cowboy" by Kid Rick and "Copperhead Road" by Steve Eearle. Beer was cheap (almost always free for us anyway) and you buy good drugs from the bar staff.

The real american dream is a bar that is a trailer prefab where you feed raccoons out the front door and buy weed from the staff but they also let you kiss ladies and gentlemen of various skin complexions.
