| 2017 PNE Thread
No matter how boring it is, I make it a point to go at least once a year.
Perogies from Hunky Bills, something from Jimmies, and a Buckeye Root Beer. Hunting for free stuff.
Oh, and visit the jesus tent............
^ taken from last year's thread, Gulolol.
I won't be in Vancouver during the opening, but plan to take in the two freebie days. https://www.pne.ca

PNE aint boring!
The dueling pianos at the beer garden is amazing, hopefully its the same couple as the last few years, they are outstanding.
Picked up our free neighborhood tickets last week, also, Vancity members can get in for $5 everyday this year, i cant remember if you just show your membership card or you need to do somthing else

For someone who's been going for nearly 60 years, it got boring as soon as they got rid of all the buildings and displays. Having said that, the new stuff is a pretty good and have revitalized the "Fair". "Change is good, Donkey."
I was responding to all kinds of "It's boring," comments from previous years.
Anyway, complaining is a Vancouver pastime.......... gulolol. It ain't right, if you're a Vancouverite!

There's something about eating his stuff outdoors at the PNE that is magical.

My mom........ now she's really old at 94.
People who've met me at RS mini-meats say I don't look a day over 45, gulolol. Us Asians look so young. Dick Clark, now that guy kept looking young for a white guy. He passed away in 2012. RIP.........just an FYI.

What is this thread about, again?
Oh, right............... Hunky Bills and Jimmie's Lunch.
Mini Doughnuts, Showmart, etc. Dal Richards is no longer, RIP. The smell, the sounds.......
Mini Doughnuts used to be run by a company that sold them little rings of goodness as Tom Thumb Doughnuts among other names.

Yeah, I heard that and I jump like a little girl whenever I see bugs. Not going to even think of eating one. I don't care how good it tastes or how much protein it has and shit. I'd rather be forced to stare at Integra Girl for a millennia than to eat a freaking bug........... damn, I'll have to think about what I just said. Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww to both. Yeah, gonna jump off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
