Forward Looking Statement: . . .I was there too. Right in the thick of it.

There’s nothing like a Friday evening at the opening night of the Carnival to experience the vast economic diversity southern Germany has to offer. What initially seemed like a harmless 2 am run to Walmart morphed into a full blown white trash Gypsy Middle School take over of our peaceful little Black Forest town.

Following up from last year’s experience of multiple slipped Cervical vertebrae and subsequent spondylolisthesis of the lumbar spine propagated by the Break (Neck) Dance, and some ride that boasted 6G of force, we spent the latter half of the evening laughing and pointing at our own, who barely managed to wobble off the Airwolf, staggering towards the nearest trailer with his right thumb and forefinger covering his mouth.

Ironically, most of the rides from last year that brought nausea into our Sunday afternoon, were not present this year. Rumour has it from safety issues. Nonetheless, looking around, it’s moments like these that make us all feel better about ourselves. Better about the way we dress. Better about the way we look. Better because we actually do our hair and hide our obesity underneath our clothing.
