it doesn't matter who won, it's about how you played the game

wrong

no it's not

we only say that to be good parents

and

to make sure our kids feel good about themselves

when the other team grounds them up like coffee beans

and

buries them in the dirt

~~

but

for adults

it's all about winning

because

it's gives us a reason

to throw our arms up in the air

and

dance around the house in our bathrobe and messy hair

almost tripping over the dog

while shouting

"I won I won"

while

totally embarrassing the above mentioned children

~~

SO

of my

winter wonderland drawing

and

entering the drawing

~~

i played around with the photo above to create a polaroid effect

~not sure if I pulled it off or not~

and

yes

that's a real goat climbing really high to get to the bucket of corn on the spinner

that was filled on the ground where we were standing and then sent up to the top

by the spinning rope

~lord there must be a technical term for this~

anyhow

am i the only one who loved this stuff as a kid

and

now as an adult

will still stand there and watch this for hours
