Most of the people there were on crutches too for some reason.

Sad...
Darien Lake has gone downhill. It's a shame it used to be nice. Now it is just a welfare breeding grounds. I felt dirty after being there. The band-aid thing is terrible especially on the waterslide park.

once at an unamed fair (in erie county)
I was heckled continuosly by a carney midway operator to play his stupid ball toss game. I ignored him for 10 minutes only to give in. I walked over to hand him the money and he ignored me (out of spite I guess) until I walked away defeated. I never wanted to punch somebody in the face so hard....but I was only 9 at the time and he weighed like 500lbs.
