Let's Play!

Good people, in Rochester, NY, you will find the Strong National Museum of Play. I adore this idea of creating a place that celebrates, and examines the way we play.

They even have a National Toy Hall of Fame, which includes the stick, the ball, and the cardboard box within its inductees. Genius!

In our play we reveal what kind of people we are.

Roman poet,

I want to visit this place! Click here for more. BTW it seems this place is a very conservative institution. They host the Girl and Boy scouts so that the children can earn their badges.

Good people, let's infiltrate and play. I'm eager to ask scandalous, yet purposeful, questions to the tour guides. Visibility is key.

I Was So Amused

Good people, I got my amusement park fix over the weekend, and I have bruises to prove it. It was so much fun. Here are some highlights.


This ride is called Mind Eraser, they should call it Mind Fuck. There were so many twists and inverted turns, I didn't know which way was up. The designers of this ride must of had a kiki putting it all together.


I normally don't do rides like this. This is some straight up torture device. We we're loaded onto the seats and strapped in so tight, that it was difficult to breathe. Then we were raised up into the air about four stories high, and the opposing platforms with screaming riders began to rotate on an axis. We became a human pinwheel!


This coaster fucking rocks! I went on it two years ago when it was called Superman, now it's called Bizarro. It has a sick drop that takes the air out of your lungs. The changes to the ride include a new paint job, two water-misting tunnels and flame throwers that gave off a blast of heat that kinda sorta hurt. Good times!

I Need My Rollercoaster Fix

Summertime is here, and I need the thrills and chills of a rollercoaster ride. My first rollercoaster was the Cyclone at Coney Island. Tthe sensation of flying through the air, and having the air sucked out of you, became instantly addictive. The faster and more twisted the ride, the better. Let me check my calendar!

BTW, Six Flags Amusement Parks filed for bankruptcy this week. Noooooo. They promise that normal park operations will not be affected. Keeping my fingers crossed.
