What the heck is Fried Coke please?

Have you ever heard of this?  We came across this at the Texas State Fair in Dallas last weekend.  This place was great and we all had lots of fun.  Owen was able to see and pet just about every animal known to man. 

I had been told when I purchased tickets the day before that I must try the fried Coke.  I said, “What are you talking about?  Fried Coke.  Who ever heard of that?”  Well, apparently they mix Coke in with the dough [like fried dough] and then fry it.  Then they drop a bunch of doughnut hole sized balls into a cup and pour some very syrupy Coke in the bottom.  Then top it all off with some whipped cream and cinnamon.  Luckily, we stumbled onto the stand with the fried Coke early in the day.  Later, I saw the line wrapping around the stand and blocking some other vendors’ entrances.  You could see they were upset as they only had regular Coke to sell.  People were talking about it all day all over the fair.  “Have you had the fried Coke yet?  Hey, where did you get that fried Coke from?  I think that’s line is for the fried Coke.”  Madness.

Some more pictures of the fair.

This is Big Tex.  He’s sort of in the middle of everything.  Every so often he starts talking and waving his arms and turning his head as he directs people to various things going on right now and later in the day at the fair.  Kinda creepy looking I must say.

This truck was too sweet not to photo.  Ford F150 that somebody spent some time on.  The cover lifts and the sidewalls fold out yielding lots of leisure room and even a grill.  Near the cab is a frig and stereo speakers.  Trick my truck, I love it.

I think this was Owen’s favorite ride.  He seemed to enjoy it the most.  I’m sure he liked petting the goats a lot, but this was definitely more exciting for him.  You know, he wasn’t even fazed by being up high in the Ferris wheel.

I bet you didn’t know Owen had his own trailer company.  Neither did I.

This is Boris, or Boris’s cousin, or something.  Boris weights over 1500 pounds.  And from the picture, you can see that 95% of that weight is carried between his legs.  He did not move the entire time we were watching him except to breathe.

Josh’s funny though for the week:  I was listening to the radio and the Ba Donk a Donk song came on and there’s a line in there about gettin’ her britches on or something.  Anyway, I immediately thought of a T-shirt with a picture of about 6 or 7 people from the waist down wearing jeans or long underwear and text at the bottom that reads “The Britches of Madison County.”  Any body think that’d sell?
