those are aliases concocted when people realized that the national media would pick up the story. Their real names are as follows:

Billy Bob Plunkett, 3 (injured)
Billy Bob Houston, zoo keeper

The women had to come up with aliases too because everyone was moderately embarrassed to discover that one of them was named Sue Ellen and the other was named Miss Elly.

It was pretty tight when they closed the door. And I FUCKING FREAKED OUT when the damn ride got stuck and we could not get out of the egg for what seemed like four years but was probably only about 20 minutes. I still freak out when I think about this.

I nevertheless still go on this ride when given the opportunity.

If you were in an egg, you could have been in a Rock-O-Plane. It's the only ride I ever threw up in. Of course the sadistic toothless carney dude had kept the ride going with us trapped inside and he thought it would be funny to leave us in. After the 8th straight ride - I guess I got the last laugh since he probably had to clean up the barf.

No, wait.

Well, anyway, here's everyone's favorite banned ice skater enjoying her latest sport:

She seems to be a shoe-in for the next round of Desperate Ex-Celebrity Boxing.

Been there, done that already. She fought Paula Jones last year on Celebrity Boxing.

ETA: It wasn't last year, it was 2002.

Better claustrophobic than, say, splatted. The original Chance Zippers had one door latch, but they displayed a propensity to open in mid-ride, usually on an uploop, throwing the car contents out over the parking lot. Now, if you see a Zipper, they all have three separate (added-on) latches. They stopped making Zippers because no one wants to buy a ride that takes that long to fasten the passengers into. Not profitable.

You sure that's not the ex-husband that clocked Nancy Kerrigan?

Horrible story about zippers

There was a carnival that came to my neighborhood when I was living in Seville, Spain. Spain is not as litigious as the U.S. of A., and this fact was evidenced by the lack of safety equipment. I was in one ride that flipped people upside down and all we had were seat belts that went over our laps. I have NO idea how we all stayed in, but I recall that I exerted some effort to make certain I did not "go splat."

A few days after I attended the carnival a woman was decapitated when she stood up while on the roller coaster and her head hit the rail above the one the coaster was then on. I don't recall whether she was fully decapitated and died at the scene or whether she was merely really, really, really injured and died a few days later.

Well, if bigger is better, then that incredibly phallic ride that started this whole discussin must just be multiple orgasms waiting to happen.

I like the way you think, Fringey...

Does anyone still have a link for this game? As I recall, I totally rocked at Diamone Mine, and I sort of need to rock at something real quick here. A pick-me-up, if you will.

Otherwise I'm going to have to go find a bar to spin around on one knee. I rocked at that too. But I think I have a better chance of still rocking at Diamond Mine than I do of still rocking at flipping around a bar.

it is now called Bedazzled and it is on the pop cap game site. www.popcap.com

I'm so sad for knowing this without even needing to look it up. if you want a new addiction there, check out the previously discussed Zuma. I also like Tip Top.

Yay! I will probably post my winning score periodically thoughout the weekend.

I am considering leaving my legal career to become a surrogate mother. It seems like it would be so much more rewarding and relaxing, and at least I would be rewarded with stretch marks or something when I completed a "project." I probably have good eggs.

I've been thrown from horses - hell, I've been thrown from big male cows - and no one ever thought to notify CNN.

(Tits. I need tits.)

(ETA: I guess that last statement could stand on its own without the rodeo stories.)
