    Maybe if it was 1 dollar per gallon on the rewards card, $250 might be worth it.......

    My first job was working the "games" section of an amusement park. Every game is rigged in one way or another. EVERY GAME. I ran a ring toss game and a bowling ball game. Skee-ball isn't rigged, it's just skill. The water gun target game has the most active cheating system. There is a pressure knob for every gun to adjust how much water is coming out of the gun. The employee running the game will stand where he can adjust how much water pressure is going to your gun. If it's slow only one employee will operate the game. When it's busy there will be one employee to deal with customers and the one talking on the PA to adjust water pressure. If you have perfect aim, you will win a few games, to attract audience and participants. You will eventually lose to the cutest kid or the prettiest girl also shooting at their target. For ring toss the secret is a high arching toss so the ring can come down directly from above the bottle. the ring is just barely larger than whatever it is supposed to ring. Some players stack two rings on top and throw. I wouldn't play ring toss with my money. It's too difficult to win. My other game, you had to roll a bowling ball on a track over one hill and get it to stop in the valley between one hill and another. You can roll the ball with just enough force to BARELY get over the first hill or you can spin it, like the earth rotating, and push it with just enough force. The spinning on the track increased the friction between the bowling ball and the track.

    You should thank your daughter.

    Shrek is great.

    Even as an adult. It's a kid's film that is totally aimed at adults with a majority of the jokes. Got love a good double meaning joke.

    Shrek 2 isn't bad either. 3 and 4..eh, you can avoid watching, but...their still funny, just not as good as the first, or the second.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - You've seen a housefly, probably a superfly, but you ain't never seen a donkey fly! - Donkey, from Shrek.

    Yeah but did we bring our dates or kids there to really go home with that big bear or was it more the fun and fair foods?

    I won a few times and after carrying that big Az bear around I ended up giving it away to some kid

    Another thing
    Our kds would want every thing at the fair they seen. Can I have this or that?!!!

    Finally I came up with a great plan. We gave each kid X amount of money and said that’s it. When you are broke your done
    They all. Every year would go home with all their money because they wanted something better
