    wow, this place was insane...

    Action Park and its defenders often pointed out that it was one of the first water parks in the nation and thus pioneered ideas that were later widely copied. This meant that visitors were using rides that had not been tested through practical use for very long. Ride designers may have had insufficient training in physics or engineering. "They seemed to build rides," one attendee recalled, "not knowing how they would work, and [then let] people on them."

    neat

     

    reminds me of a water park right next to where I grew up called Amazons. place was heaps of fun until someone went and died on one of those water slides that shoots you straight down into the water.. think it was called The Cannonball actually. Now it's a shopping centre : /

  2. went to see my family in Pittsburgh and they took me out to this place called Burgatory.

     

    I had some sort of elk burger on brioche with all kinds of shit. didn't take photos because I was so gripped by my burgerlust but the internet has some photos

    Nothing like trying to get your mack on after a fine plate of fish & chips. It's like someone's strangling your insides with a wet dishrag.

    I don't have a crock pot, but thanks, i'm always curious to see the recipes for things. Looks like it would taste pretty intense.

     

     

    Fuck yes, I'm making a similar thing tomorrow... well, carnitas to be precise, slowcooked pork with chipotle peppers, orange, garlic and onions (among other things), before frying that bastard up on the grill
