I swear my hot dog wilted today...
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 05:11 PM by Jamastiene
My community college has had a Halloween Festival every year since I got there. It seems like I've been there a hundred years now. Well, this year, they waited until today to have a Fall Festival instead. They had hot dogs, nachos, soft drinks, a NASCAR simulator, and karaoke.

Well, I got my hot dog during my piddly little break for lunch, because I was famished. I wondered why the place was so empty during a normally packed lunch hour. I stopped in the middle of the student lounge with my hot dog. I was arranging all my napkins because I'm a slob, when, lo and behold, the guy, who tried to give me a Christian Coalition flyer a couple of years ago, grabbed the mike. I'd be willing to bet Jesus had his fingers in his ears once he heard that guy sing. It was one of those sappy newer right wing style Christian songs I have never heard before. I swear my hot dog wilted. Not only was the guy off key, but he was actually singing louder and louder with every new verse.

My classmate who was being so kind to me today carried, "Jaws" (my bookbag on wheels that attacks and trips people when I'm not paying attention) for me. He heard that and said I'd clap really loud for him if he'd stop that. I said, "Let's escape." We went outside. When we stepped out the door, people were rolling. They had these looks on their faces. You just had to see it. No one really said anything but they knew why we made a fast exit. Like I said, I wondered why the place was so empty during a normally packed lunch hour. I understood once that guy started crooning and swaying and curling my toes.

After we ate, we went to our afternoon class. It's in the same building. I wondered why the doors were closed to that one hallway we use. Well, we opened the doors and went to class. Midway through class, someone opened those doors again, and I kid you not, that guy was at it again. He was even louder than he was earlier.

That's when it dawned on me. They win elections because they are more full of hot air than we are. They never shut up and they get louder as they keep going and going and going on about things. That's all there is to it, ultimately.

2. I doubt he could have heard me.

He was really getting into it. He was swaying and holding that one hand up in the air. His face was all red and his eyes were bugging out of his head.

The ducks that normally hang out outside are normally very tame. They heard that and flew back down to the pond and not in a "Vee" formation like normal either. I could have sworn they were in an exclamation point formation. ! :rofl: It was every duck for himself today. :rofl:

That poor DJ looked absolutely head-achy. I feel so sorry for that guy. He's gotta do it again later tonight for the evening crowd for three more hours. I know he's earning his money today.

The next person was a girl who sang, "Killing Me Softly." My classmate, said "Kill me however you wish...if it means I don't have to listen to him sing again." I thought I'd choke on that wilted hot dog. I was laughing so hard, my side hurt. It was hilarious. :rofl:

15. I almost lost my appetite.
That's for sure. I knew I needed to eat though. As tough as the engineering classes have been, the one that has taken my 4.0 GP away has been CAD I. How is it that something that seems to simple has wiped me out? I suck at CAD.

I would be willing to bet that he's still going as I type this. The night part of the event was 7:00 until 10:00, if I am not mistaken.

14. I once stuck my tongue in
a light socket. I was a kid and I had seen people stick their tongues to 9 volt batteries to test them. I thought it would work. Well, in a way, it did work. I realized that there 120 AC was in fact, still there. :P

6. That's so sad. An impotent hot dog caused by off-key Christian music.
:rofl: Good thing you and your friend got the heck out of there! :P

It's about horrible singing.

13. That's what it does.
Believe it or not, it got its name from the one who suggested we leave when that guy started singing. It tripped him bad enough on day that he started that sort of hunched over running to try to keep from landing on his face. He almost tripped somebody else with it today. It's dangerous to get around that thing. I don't know why it does that.
