Doesn't bode well to me.

Sorry, but aside from the great Krusty Clown Face entrance, I saw nothing in the queue photos that indicated parody, and everything that smelt of typical six flags.

I could go on ... but - jest or not - I'm pretty tired of the rep that I don't like anything. It's bullsh!t and based on nothing but the fact that I can rip a good hole into the many things I don't like.


I calls 'em as I see's 'em. Indy Queue Good. Krusty Kue Bad.

I'm critical of things I don't like. People love to latch onto that for comedy. There's a lot less potentially funny when I gush about things. And, yeah, that's just the nature of comedy.

But I've been getting the feeling (perhaps undeserved) that the jokes have seeped into people's minds as reality. And sure, I am very critical and am quick to point out things I find shoddy, cheap, pathetic or (look away, Gemini Cricket) gay.

I'm just as quick to praise, extoll, laud, glorify and giggle helplessly like a little girl at the many, many, many things I love in this world.

But where's the humor in that???


Fine, humor. I'm a big fan of it. I just don't want it to define me inaccurately.
