overheard in a conversation I was in
“….”
my reaction: Nothing. I overheard nothing. I wasn’t paying attention. I was too busy taking in the fresh air of a small town up North in the middle of nowhere.
your killing me small
The family and I went to a small town in rural Wisconsin. It doesn’t matter what small town I went to there all the same. Small towns are very entertaining for me. People look so weird. It makes me think they are keeping it ‘in the family’ a little too much. I have never been to a small town full of good-looking people. I don’t think they exist. Don’t get me wrong, small towns are friendly, I would be real friendly too if I was that ugly. I would be so insecure that no one would like me that I would have to be nice.
fair enough
While we were in the small town for the weekend the county fair was going on. I also love small town fairs. Fairs are great for people watching. I had a hard time deciphering the townies from the carnival workers. I don’t think there was one difference. They all had missing teeth and looked dirty. I mean that in the nicest way possible. It’s funny how we trust these rides that look like they are going to fall apart from people who can’t even brush their teeth or take a shower. Once again, no offense because their probably thinking we are the real dummies by actually going on the rides and playing there rigged games. They are laughing all the way to the bank. “Hey… why don’t you take that money and get a physical or a dental check up.”
tootsie parade
Small town parades might beat small town fairs in pure entertainment but they are close. Small town parades are full of local businesses throwing tootsie rolls. It seemed like every float was throwing tootsie rolls. The road was littered with smashed tootsie rolls. The townie kids didn’t want the tootsie rolls. They even have standards when it comes to candy, even though they looked like they were dressed by a homeless person. Once again, no offense. Maybe, instead of throwing tootsie rolls, they should’ve been giving away toothbrushes. Geez… would it hurt to brush your teeth even once a week.
put the grill behind bars
Every small town is full of ‘bar and grill’ restaurants. Can we switch it up here? How many places can serve hamburgers and fries? Doesn’t that get old after awhile? Every small town restaurant is full of homemade pizza that looks like a Jacks that has been stepped on by a carnie. All I want is a little diversity in choice of food. I couldn’t bring myself to eat anywhere. My gf is vegetarian and by no means there is nothing close to a vegetarian restaurant. I guess she could’ve eaten cheese curds all weekend but that’s not healthy. Needless to say we made a lot of food on our own.
sports all star
I do envy small town folk. It’s a simple life. You don’t have to worry about your car or house getting broken into, you just have to worry about mosquitos. I’m also jealous of small towns because everyone (no matter how good you are) makes the sports teams. I got cut from my High School basketball team twice. If I played in a small town I could’ve been a starter (I’m not that good). I could’ve been on the Tennis, Golf, and Volleyball team and I have no experience playing any of those sports.
do the wave
A lot of people in small towns wave when you drive by. It’s been said because they are friendly. I disagree. I think they are very lonely people. They are just itching to socialize. They just want someone to acknowledge them other than the cow that’s in there barn or the chicken in their coop. I would to wave to every human being I see too if all day I started at rows of corn. I would be so lonely.
pulling back the curtains
I guess no NBA player has ever worn the number 69. Hmmm…. I wonder why? It’s believed to be banned for its sexual connotation, yet the NBA hasn’t confirmed this. Dennis Rodman allegedly requested the number 69 when he played for the Dallas Mavricks but was denied. Instead he wore # 70. If you can’t be 69 be 70.
doogie howser moment
I’m not sure why these small town people wave at me because secretly I’ve judged everything about them. I think the reason I rip on small towns is because I’m jealous I didn’t grow up in a small town. I wanted to be a High School Sports Star by default. I wanted to be the smart kid by default. I wanted to be the hot guy by default just because I had all my teeth and showered. In reality though, I saw one person who didn’t shower and have teeth (big cities have more missing teeth and weird looking people). I wouldn’t care about eating good food. I would just “eat to live” not “live to eat”. In the end, I just wanted random people I didn’t know to wave to me.
