Seriously, why is the CNE still running.
- Thread starter RAWD
- Start date
Come man, it's nostalgia baby. We all grew up going to the CNE but wtf is with pushing the halal food this year?
It should be interesting with the food truck coming this year.

tradition.......it is kind of the last hurrah before school starts.....
I think they should go back to their roots of fall fairs but maybe geared more towards a big city........instead of just a big cash grab.
I think it went downhill when they got rid of the coliseum. They used to have the hell drivers, rodeo shows, rock concerts, all kinds of things going on in there now? just more room for shit.
I think the board of governors forgot that the last word in CNE is exhibition...what are they actually exhibiting?
and a thousand or so accidents happen every day on the roads and highways, why take the chance?
Anyone remember the rocket? LOL it wasn't the ride that was scary, it was whether the thing would hold together long enough for you to make it to the end lol....

Bacon wrapped deep fried everything
- Thread starter

So, I went, I saw and I conquered (and I got the tshirt to prove it)!
It was....disappointing. I ordered the bacon wrapped hot dog, BLT Nutella and the bacon wrapped mars bar.
Regrettably, they use cheap bacon (of course). So, it was just salty with nary a hit of smoky goodness.
And, no, I didn't eat everything by myself. I shared some fellow Ex-goers.
I didn't get a chance to ride the Sky Ride, so I'll have to go back this week if I can find some time.
The shopping seems to be better this year. They opened up the back half of the Direct Energy centre. The highlight there was the Bikini Bay store. Who wouldn't like chicks eager to buy cheap ($5!?!) bikinis that will probably disintegrate at the first contact with water?
Other highlights included the firehall by the food building where a fireman was showing kids how to use the hose. They were spraying passers by, including some ladies who presumably had a thing for fireman and kept walking past again and again....until their shirts were soaked. Bless their hearts.
Some things that I wish I could "unsee" include:
1. A girl wearing a sexy white pair of crochet short shorts and bright orange thongs you could clearly see underneath...but she was pushing 250 lbs, easily.
2. A middle aged trucker momma who was eager to try the shaker thingy (where you stand on a platform that vibrates so your muscles have to move to compensate). Sadly, she was quite jiggly. It was like watching human jello. I tried to walk away, but I couldn't, even as my eyes were burning.
