OT: JojoTheWhale's Carnival Games Corner

[JojoTheWhale]

We just need to keep spamming @JojoTheWhale with Avril gifs. He'll break eventually.

I hope you get hit in the eye with the beach sweat of a swarthy, questionably-tattooed Frenchman wearing only dress socks and Birkenstocks.

Forget carnival games, I just wanna know how to hit the 100 point holes in Skee Ball.

As I understand it, they're basically impossible to do consistently.

However, you can hit a 40 almost every time with very little practice. Make sure your stance is balanced and then bowl it like a bowling ball. Aim for the bumper right where the slope up starts.

Chill out. Whatcha yellin' for?

For the dart game where you pop the balloons, I've found the key is take the first dart and hit the woman running the game in the ass. It's almost always a woman with a trailer park cough. Then run. By far beats dragging a cumbersome Minion doll all over the midway.

La plage is happily devoid of les touristes at the moment. That should change this weekend though. So far it's been relatively mild. Some dubious stuff - flora motifs on women's legs galore, obnoxious dude back tatts of god knows what, but nothing outrageously bad. I think the worst offender was some young woman who had what I think was supposed to be a stylized Egyptian hieroglyphic eye tattooed on the back of her neck. Conceptually, fine, I guess, but execution was way off. It was oversized and crudely drawn.

By the way, there's a carnival at the end of the beach. I need tips.

Only play the games that offer the oversized dreadlocked banana. Everything else is for the n00bz.

My working theory is that this demonology in which you're dabbling has attracted the attention of an Old One. Did the eye move?

Damn I had hope. I will continue to pray to The Powers that Be.

Actually, now that you mention it, I think it may have winked at me.

I once got a dart stuck in my knee from a ricochet when I was working that booth. That was unpleasant.

Are you sure, that you were looking at her neck?

Get good.

The tourists have started arriving and already the bad tattoo scourge has returned, along with the most absurd mosquito infestation I've ever suffered through. For the last three nights, as soon as the sun starts to dip down, one is attacked by a horde of hungry mosquitos. I tried to do a little evening frisbee and soccer on the beach with the boys last night and we gave up after 5 minutes because we were fending off 3 or 4 of the little bitches at a time. Clearly this is linked to Avril in some way and I must repent to make it stop.

As for the tattoos, yesterday's winner was some dude with a giant winged sword down the middle of his back; on the left a feathery angel wing and on the right a dragon or demon wing. Honorable mention to the pasty Belgian guy with a budding set of Maori style tatts, along with numerous women sporting dream catchers, but especially the lady with one that took up most of her thigh. Cultural appropriation issues aside, you look absolutely ridiculous.

My best friend took a ricochet dart right to the eye when he was a pre-teen. He has only about 10-20% vision in that eye.

Oh no. I went on to do all kinds of stupid stuff in all kinds of crazy places.
