If You Go to Scarborough Fair …
Yes, I took my mom to Scarborough Fair for Mother’s Day. What can I say? It was her suggestion. And the place has a soft spot in my heart. I played a lot of Dungeons & Dragons when I was a kid.
Here’s what I recommend if you go: don’t miss the game where you throw tomatoes at a the guy who insults you while you throw tomatoes at him. It’s astounding how aggressively that guy crosses the line. He actually mocked my 3-year-old for cradling her stuffed bunny. Other examples:
– To a circa 12-year-old wearing a Boy Scout uniform: “Hey, kid, you want me to tell your dad why you’ve been spending more time in the shower?”
– To that kid’s dad, who had slightly buck teeth: “How do you like being able to brush you teeth while holding them in your hand?” And: “You need to aim higher! Get it up! Do we need to put some blue pills in those tomatoes for you?”
– To an 8-year-old boy: “Aim higher! Like your mother is right now!”
There are benches at this game. Sit in the shade. Watch awhile. The insults are very uncomfortable. And very funny.
