We went to Lotusland's Big Fair, the Pacific National Exibition on Friday.
And I am happy to report that the no-nonsense/no-nausea 'Scrambler' is still the perfect multi-stratification ride that everyone from the age of 8 to almost 48 can enjoy just for the whiz around heck of it.
It was also 50th Anniversary Elvis Tribute night that day at the PNE.
And I have to admit that it wasn't half bad, especially compared to the weird, ASpeerian explosion/flameball-fest that occurred later at fireworks time.
But here's the part I don't quite get about the ghost of Mr. Presley.....
Don't people remember that by 1972 he had already become a joke more ridiculous, even in Vegas, than Guy Lombardo or Debbie Reynolds in a fright wig?
Then again I suppose that such a stratospheric status of lameyosity does help explain the bizarre 'Viva! Viagra!' ads currently running non-stop on talk radio that end with the tagline:
"Ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex."
Because, clearly, when the end finally came Mr. Presley's, was not.
