Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Three bags full.

I didn’t need any bags. I passed out!

Those things can be a little dangerous. Of course when I was a kid they were very industrial and older kids could get them spinning really fast. When you got ’’slung’’ off, you were landing on hard dirt and gravel. Good times!

Sedgwick never interacts well with the proletariat.

At least little goblin is getting out with other children.

Up comes the chili and tapioca.

Reminds me of the last scene in Strangers on a Train.

Gen Z.

I’m gonna HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! :)

Good opportunity here to learn a little basic physics. The closer you are to the center of rotation, the less centrifugal force you feel.

Just making the rounds. :)

When I went on an orientation flight in a jet fighter, a guy handed me a clear plastic bag in case I got airsick. I put it in my shirt pocket. In the process of strapping me into the ejection seat, the sergeant pulled out the bag because it would be under a strap. I don’t know what he did with it but I never saw it again. Fortunately, I did not get airsick. We were warned we would have to clean out the cockpit, if we vomited.

Sedgie is definitely a lightweight.

The British version of those is usually a fair bit bigger with a circular seat in the middle – you sit down, facing outwards, and then try to hang on to hand-holds as it tries to fling you off. I’m not sure if that makes it easier or harder.
