Jim: Not Eaten Yet!

From the shrill screams behind us, we knew the monster was pushing through the midway crowd.

In classic fleeing-a-monster fashion, I grabbed my girl's hand and pulled her into a sprint toward the carnival rides. These were, as I suspected, held together by little more than cotter pins and bailing wire.

One large rock will do the trick, I thought.

So…

With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round. With this very unpleasin' sneezin' and wheezin', the calliope crashed to the ground.

The monster was blinded by the light and we continued our frantic escape.

You suuuuuck. I didn't down-mod you though. :)

If you down-modded for silliness then you'd have done it to me long ago. :P

Manfred Mann? That was merely a cover version. The original was Bruce Springsteen, on 1973's "Welcome to Asbury Park."
