Setting:
Lee and I both have season passes to Lagoon (park of amusement). We've been there twice together. It's creepy for oh so many reasons.
1. We are both kind of seedy looking guys.
2. We are the oldest human beings at Lagoon without child accompaniment.
3. Lots of vaguely homosexual contact from two heterosexual men.
4. Teens girls realizing their sexuality in public with acne riddled boys wearing oversized black clothing.
5. The embarrassment of not being able to win one another a large stuffed animal.
Some rides require straddling. Take for instance the Jet Star II:
It's a great little coaster built in the 1970s for the price of $500,000.00. Lots of lateral g's and a double helix you could lose an arm on. However, every section of the car requires two riders.
I'm not small, and Lee is of a larger carriage than I. We've been through this twice and it doesn't seem to matter who goes in back or who sits up front. The two of us don't really fit. Ride operators generally stare working up the nerve to ask us to leave, but the give up after about five seconds of non-action.
Our best ride together, as a team, is probably the Tilt-a-Whirl.
Enjoy:
Lagoon is a hard place to get a picture taken. Pictures aren't the objective. Lagoon is for fun. But I didn't tote my camera around, sealed safely in a zip-lock bag, in too tight jeans all day for nothing.
As we left I snapped a few more photographs.
Goodnight, Lagoon. Goodnight, blog.

Me and the Lis were thinking about taking a night trip some Saturday soon. You down?
I want to go at least once during Frightmares.
Also, at the end of the season, can Elin try to use Lisa's pass?
We need to get one of those Old Timey photographs in order to cross something off our goals for the summer list.
