Elvis has left the L.A. County Fair
Where has the year gone? It's already that time of the year when I think the temperatures should cool off, and L.A. would have some notion of a season other than summer and smog. How foolish of me.
On top of that, I completely forgot that the L.A. County Fair starts up tomorrow. And, it's still out in Pomona! It's going to be a scorcher with...you guessed it, lots of smog.
But this year's theme is "deep-fried-anything-on-a stick"! That in and of itself is enough to tempt me away from my spot by the beach. The piece de resistance will be (in honor of the 30th anniversary of his death) an Elvis commemorative deep-fried peanut butter-banana sandwich by the master fry guy himself, Charlie Boghosian. If you haven't heard of him, let me just tell you that he had the balls to sell the Krispy Kreme Chicken Sandwich at last year's fair without getting the hazmat team on his boo-tay.
If you still think Elvis is alive and out there, I'm telling you these deep fried heart attack specials pretty much did him in.
