Oh dear.

Oh, we'll be celebrating my wife's birthday at the Pet Shop Boys show at the AZ State Fair (we decided to pass on Big & Rich, although the promise of Cowboy Troy almost tipped that one). To the Arizona State Fair's credit, they seem to try to book at least one "alternative" act to go with the barrage of country stars and low-rider oldies package tours. Last year, it was Beck; a few years ago, they had Nine Inch Nails. I seem to remember Morrissey a while back as well.

Also, the deep fried Coca Cola is really more of a Coke flavored beignet. A little disappointing, to be honest.

Prediction: AZ Senator John McCain, live onstage with Neil Tennant, harmonizing on "Opportunities" in a tight white tee.

I don't know about no petshop boys, but Deep Fried Coca Cola? The deep fried coca-cola that I saw at the Texas State Fair was coca-cola flavored batter that was deep fried into little balls, then put in a glass and covered with coke and whipped cream. How could that not be amazing? We in the South have been enjoying such delicacies as Coca-Cola cake for years, though.

Yea, last night I tried the deep fried coke at the Texas State Fair. Coke flavored batter (that doesn't really have any coke taste) fried into dry balls of cinnamon. Disappointing and we threw it out after two bites. $5 wasted.

However, the deep fried peanut butter, jelly & banana sandwich is TO DIE FOR.

It's not deep fried, but how can you not love the last item on their fair delicacies list, "Cumber on Lumber"?

isn't this somehow a whisper of a small apocalypse? poor, poor PSB.
