Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Double Whammy

The Fort Worth City Council and the State Fair of Texas officials screwed the pooch this week.

1) Just when I was about to take up smoking, the Fort Worth City Council voted to ban smoking inside most public places except bars. (I have to forgive the ever so beautiful Councilwoman Wendy Davis) I guess I will have to resort to drinking twice as much now.

2) The officials of the State Fair are encouraging vendors to fry all fried food (fried tamales, corndogs, funnel cakes, coke and PB &J) in trans-fat free oil . Screw the wankers (trying to use this more in my vocabulary) who are trying to ruin my good time at the fair.

The only thing worse than these two events, is the picture the Dallas Morning News used of a lady with a corn dog. Really? You didn't have a better picture? Really?

Mmm, corndogs. I'm sorry...what was I talking about?

yes, God forbid the fine physical speciments that show up at the fair and actually eat that shit should be subjected to anything unhealthy.

Have you seen the people that go to the fair? I'm guessing the tattooed, pierced, obese, and smoking crowd aren't losing any sleep over transfat, they maybe losing sleep because they are methed out of their brains, but not because of trans fat.

I heard that they are having fried pigs feet and fried racoon to please all the Okies next year.

Aw, I thought that picture was adorable!!! I loved it! Way more fun that just some stupid random kids with cotton candy all over their faces.
