Crown And Anchor
Only A Tightly Knit Community Would Allow Its Young To Gamble Away Their Quarters

Labour day weekend is almost upon us, and for me that means the communities annual Labour Day Carnival.

Ah Carnivals, home to Carnies, Festering Diseases, as well as Underage Drinking and Gambling. Bring it On. To me the summer isn't officially over until I stand at the crown and anchor table, surrounded by thirteen year olds, and gamble away the rolls of quarters i've obtained from the bank.

Of course there is always the underlying sense that school is almost back in session, but hey, I work in the back to school section of a local store, so I've been aware of schools return since about mid-july. Speaking of such, I always love the reaction that people give when they walk into the store as we're stocking the school supplies. Heres a general progression of people comments from mid-july --> late-august

Mid July

-~- Oh my word, its only mid-july, I can't believe what a money grubbing company this is.
-~- You must really hate having to look at this stuff now, You've really only just started your vacation ( This one comes from people that think their smart, and try to appeal to me with a sence of mercy. Unfortunately, theres a lot of 'smart' people )

Late July

-~- Theres still a month left until school starts, I can't believe what a money grubbing company this is.
-~- You must really hate having to look at this stuff now, You're vacations only half-way done
-~- Maybe we should pick up some lined paper, and pencils now, instead of waiting till labour day weekend (these are the truly smart people, and they are to be commended)

Beggining of August

-~- August has just started, I can't believe what a money grubbing company this is.
-~- You must really hate having to look at this stuff now, August is younger then the kids at the crown and anchor table.
-~- Lets get some binders and pens now, pehaps a math set.

Late August --> September 3rd

-~- What do you mean your out of lined paper ?!?! My kids need that for School, Why don't you ignore what the computer tells you, and go round back and look for some more, while your at it, Wiggle your nose, hop on your toes, and make some more appear.
-~- What do you mean your out of Dou-Tangs?!?! My kids need those for School, Why don't you ignore what the computer tells you, and go round back and look for some more, while your at it, Wiggle your nose, hop on your toes, and make some more appear.
-~- What do you mean your out of Pencil Crayons?!?! My kids need those for School, Why don't you ignore what the computer tells you, and go round back and look for some more, while your at it, Wiggle your nose, hop on your toes, and make some more appear.
-~- What do you mean your out of Binders?!?! My kids need those for School, Why don't you ignore what the computer tells you, and go round back and look for some more, while your at it, Wiggle your nose, hop on your toes, and make some more appear.
-~- Sheesh, I'm glad I bought all the stuff I needed back in July, look at those idiots bickering and complaining now.

Oh well, theres still nothing more fun then telling people that the store's sold out of lined paper, the sad and disheartened look on their faces makes it all worth while :^)

Peace Out.
