My german class took a trip on down to a local celebration called Wurstfest (Literally, "Sausage Festival", it's a ten day german-style festival that a city—New Braunfels—celebrates to show off their german heritage). While it was supposed to be a way for us to practice German, we just all used it to mess around. I had a ton of fun; I ate myself into a diabetic coma with a gigantic funnel cake, went on carnival rides till I got sick, listened to a local band, and just generally had a fun time.

And then there was the poppers. They're these small balls of packed-up stuff. Throw them on the ground, and they explode and make a noise, and let me tell you, they're like crack. Me and my friends kept buying boxes of the stuff and trying to scare people with them. It's just so damn fun to see if you can get people notice them, or freak someone out (as I did a few times). We were even planning to go onto the nearby ferris wheel, and drop 'em on unsuspecting guests, but it was too expensive.

The best part was when I took a box of poppers, and got about half of it—around 25—and threw them on the ground all at once. Right before I threw them, I yelled "STAND BACK EVERYONE, I'M GOING TO TRY SCIENCE!!". And, when they exploded, there was visible smoke in the air. I nearly lit the place on fire. Awesome.

Dammit, even the bus ride there was fun, as the crappy highway made the bus constantly shake up and down, so it sometimes felt like I was flying. It sure was long, though; took about an hour just to get there.

Ironically, while I entered this festival expecting to eat tons of sausage, I ate no sausage at all. Oh well, it was one of the most awesome things ever, but I've got to pack more money next year (everything there was expensive as hell).

...So Yeah.

Yes, yes, that joke was already made as soon as my class heard of it. And that's when it stopped being funny.

Holy hell in a hand-grenade-laden handbasket! As soon as I saw "Wurstfest" in the topic name, I thought, "The one in New Braunfels?"

Sadly, I have yet to go and my car is bye-bye. sad
