Every once in a while I see something that absolutely convinces me that the world has gone mad:
The Texas State Fair has eliminated the petting zoo because of litigation concerns and skyrocketing insurance costs.
And yet the fried oreos don't scare anybody.

Yeah, but are they "fried" ... or are they DEEP-fried? Cuz if they're just "fried," they probably suck. Nothing to fear, certainly, but nothing to spend money on, either.
But DEEP-fried .... Mmmmmmm. Oreos.

Oh, it's all deep fried. For the past five years or so, it's been a contest to raise the level of deep-fried ridiculousness. Deep-fried Oreo's, Snickers, Twinkies, Pies, you name it.
Of course, Lex, I regularly blaspheme by pointing out that our NC State Fair blows the doors of Texas food-wise. See, in Raleigh, they have all kinds of different food vendors. There may be 20 different guys selling funnel cakes, all with different prices and recipes. Here, it's pretty much a single-vendor cartel for most items, so that takes away some of the adventure.
But I do love me some Chocolate-Covered-Key-Lime-Pie-On-A-Stick!
