El Brundage is in the house. I'm very tired today from hanging out last night. Tracey and I did some painting in our new condo, that was fun. I had to go to Irvine, to Scantron's corporate office for a meeting yesterday. And since I was already up in the LA area, I drove up north about 20 more miles to go to Sonic in Anaheim, it was good. I'm super busy, still need to get a blog out going over our vaca. Tracey actually wrote in a jounal about the trip, so more detailed info on the trip may have to come from her. Ryan, yer a bad blogger. Ok, back to work. But in the mean time, here is a funny story reported by Jim Rome, enjoy:
Carnie Killed Because of Mullet!!
This is somewhat graphic and you might want to turn away for click on a different page.
SNAAAAAP!
A carnie was killed at a fair when his mullet got trapped in a roller coaster.
SNAAAAP!
Carnie Doug McKay was killed at a carnival in Langley, WA when his mullet got stuck in a roller coaster. The carnie was spraying lubricant on the track when his hair got stuck in the wheels of a passing car.
Yep, he was working on the track while cars were zipping by. Hard to imagine why an accident would take place. It’s not like it’s any safer if they maybe…say, stopped the ride altogether?
Doug, hair stuck in roller coaster car was pulled up to a height of 40 feet, before he broke loose, falling back-first onto a fence.
Somehow, someway…he died. Incredibly enough, he didn’t make it.
Oh, and by the way, the car that snagged him was full of passengers. That probably was nice to see. Nothing says ‘good family fun like watching a carnie get snagged by your roller coaster, only to watch him plunge 40 feet and impale himself on a fence.
“It basically scalped him, and he fell and landed on the fence.”
Sheriff’s spokesman
I’m guessing that sounds about right. If a roller coaster grabs you by your hair doing 70 mph, you can kiss your scalp goodbye.
I never would have thought it was possible, until I saw that it happened. I mean, who would have ever thought that those carnival rides that carnies and ex-cons set up in grocery store parking lots could ever be dangerous?
Certainly not me.
But wait, it gets worse…
The carnival continued. Other than bringing in ‘grief counselors’ to help people who witnessed the incident, it was pretty much business as usual.
I’m guessing that was only a bit disturbing. I wasn’t even there and it disturbs me.
So much for that moment of silence or pausing to reflect on the death of the carnie. Nice of the carnival to stay open for business despite killing one of its carnies.
Memo to carnies, you might want to mix in a barber before you start working on roller coasters…while they’re still moving. It’s one or the other. Cut the mullet or stop the roller coaster, but you can’t have it both ways.
