Fiesta: Flying Bobs

[Evark]

So as none of you know, with the exception of those I've already told, this past weekend was Fiesta in my hometown. Fiesta, basically, is a big party centered around the Sicillian fishing population of the city of Gloucester. The main attraction is the St. Peter's Statue, as he's the patron saint of fisherman, and there's all sorts of ceremonies associated with it, including a blessing of the fishing fleet, etc.

Anyway, the big allure for the youths of Gloucester and surrounding areas is to get drunk out of their mind and go around at Fiesta talking to all sorts of old friends, people they hate, those they haven't seen in ages, etc. Basically, almost everybody makes an appearance at Fiesta at least once during the 5 day event.

So Friday night my friends and I decided to get drunk and head down there. We did, and it was great fun (and one of my friends ended up hooking up with this girl), but I couldn't help but be reminded of something special when I saw the name of one of the rides.

Behold:

I'd go, but I don't live in Massachusettes. Sorry. 8'^(

Due to the lack of evidence of GTFO'ing, I presume this thread will present bobs.

Best name for a ride ever. I wish I could go down there.

Did you tell your friends any information about what the bobs were all about? Everyone must know about bobs.

Something so spectacular should be worshipped as a false idol.

One flying bob is not enough! We need more flying bobs! Damn it man, don't you have clones, brothers, a cult, anything?

[AshfordPride]

Think of all the joy you'll find,
When you leave the world behind,
And kiss your tears good bye!
You can fly!
You can fly!
You can fly!

A teacher in my elementary school was a relative of one of the guys. I actually remember watching the waves sweep a house on the shore half a mile from my home into the water. The water was coming up over the rocks, over the guardrail, and up the road to a rest near the crowd's feet.

By the way, if you ever saw the movie, that's not at all how the docks look, the Crows's Nest has a street in front of it and there's a bunch of businesses near it as well.

As for whoever asked me if I told my friends the significance of 'bobs', no, I did not. One of them had his girlfriend up so he was distracted, another was with his girlfriend who came with us, and the rest were drunk/making out with a girl he met drunk there.

And Ange: yea, what'dya expect, I was a little bit disabled when it comes to operating mechanical equipment at the time. :-b

I specifically typed if he had a bob summoner, to summon more bobs. Didn't you read my post? It specifically had it! (Well, at least in my mind)

[StrobeRobot]

Since awhile ago..

They just decided to exploit it..It makes me so sad =(

[deadafterall]
