Freak Fest

We went to the Renaissance Festival last weekend, and damn if I didn't have some great people-watching! Right when we walked in the door, I saw this wonderful muffin-top. Of course, the place was rife with muffin-tops, so I decided they weren't worth photographing anymore. Too easy.
Here's our crew. It was like 100 degrees out. The beer was much-needed.
Lyle has had a few drinks.
Soda? She's drinking soda?My mom is the whole reason we go to the Freak Fest every year. She loves that place.
Check out the back-boobs! How would you not know you have a B-cup below your shoulder blades?
I didn't know Kyle could juggle. I've got new respect for his carnie skills.
Kid on a leash!
Some lady sleeping (passed out???) on a bench.
A tortoise pulling a cart.
A...um...deer? Jackalope? Either way, he must be sweating like crazy.
This is a real dog. Kinda looks like a fox. Or a coyote. Or dingo.
Chum Bucket! Just like on Spongebob!
While we were walking around snickering about the people who wear their costumes to Freak Fest, I was joking that I was going to dress up like a ninja next year. Lo and behold, I see a dude dressed as a ninja!
Those aren't tan lines. Those are dirt lines. My sandals used to be black. Shoe choice fail! But beer choice WIN. That's Guiness, and it's delicious.
Puke and Snot. The original Snot died last year. I wonder how they found another comedian named Snot?
Look at the gut on that! Does she not own a mirror?
And another one. It was like flabby fire-dancer day or something.
She likes my meat, what can I say?
Greasiest cheese curds ever. It was like a puddle of grease. This is my co-worker, Lou. In the background is a guy with a pumpkin on his head. Now you can die knowing that you're cooler than someone.
I've never seen the picture on the handle of a trunk release before, and I found it very funny. Quick! Jump out and run away!
We stopped at Trader Joe's on our way home, and, despite this sign, forgot our reusable bag in the car.
