Climbing Like A Sausage...Sliding Like Overweight Baggage!




Jesus H Christ it's hot here!

So, Friday night we met Jackson and Bridget at the City Museum. God, I love that place!

Lots of incredible architecture to appreciate and SLIDES FOR EVERYONE!

Okay, mostly everyone.

Adults under 210 pounds.

Who gives a shit?? It's a slide!

They've got three story slides (AWESOME!) and the Monstrocity outside. Sample pictures above.

So, I decide it'd be a good idea for me to climb to the top and hang out in the airplane!

After all, it's 10:00 in the evening and still 96 degrees outside!

Great idea my friends and wife say.

We'll stand here and heckle,...err, watch you.

So, I managed to squeeze my fat ass into one of the "spiral tubes" (Pictured above) that ascend upward to the plane. Hey look! It's Sausage Boy!

I get into the "triangle looking thing" (pictured above) and see that the diameter of the "tube" is reduced significantly at the next level.

I admit defeat and climb back to down to boo's and catcall's...a much better alternative to a "creative" rescue by the STL Fire Departement.

To make myself feel better, I headed to a slide that was 10 feet tall and about 15 feet wide that dropped straight down.

When I got to the top of the slide, two little girls were perched there, and had been for 10 minutes, afraid to descend the stainless steel drop.

I solved that really quick by using my foot to nudge them on their backs and down the slide. Problem solved. Now it's my turn.

WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

"That sausage man kicked us down the slide - he's a big meanie!"
