Before anyone else can make the comment, I am not referring to my immediate family with the above title. I sit here in the "bus" (ambulance for you lay people) watching the magnificent array of people that God has seen fit to create. I never fail to wonder at how some people just have "it" and some could not find "it" if it walked up and smacked them in the face. The "it" I am referring to is looks, style, and charisma. Some of may have one or even two of these traits. Most of us are OK looking and get by personality wise. But, some people are the envy of the masses.
But this blog is not about the envy of the masses. This blog is about those people that we look at and just thank God that we are not that person. This blog is about those people who make you feel better about yourself just because you took a good look at them. This blog is about the people I saw this weekend at Goldrush.
Goldrush is an annual event in Dahlonega. It is like any other town festival that celebrates the history and culture of that particular town. We have all been to them. There are funnel cakes, and craft booths, and local produce vendors. There are people selling pottery that has absolutely ZERO purpose but you cannot keep away from it. It does not matter if you are young or old; you are welcome and will be entertained. But the best part, other than stocking up on Chow Chow, is the never ending stream of people to watch.
People that are dressed in clothes that make you wonder if they have a single mirror in their house. Men and women that have mullets that would make the most rabid Billy Ray Cyrus fan jealous. 450 pound dudes that have the rainbow colored western shirt (snaps up the front) and the boots to match more than one of the colors in the shirt. The old lady chain smoking Marlboro's through her tracheotomy. People making the 3 year old walk in the cold and rain, but the little Shih Tzu is wrapped up in the stroller. I could go on and on.
This would be much better with pictures, so I am going to cut the dialogue short and direct you to the following web site. Enjoy a little slice of white trash heaven. I know I will.

I could be wrong, but I think I detect a little bit of jealousy in thy words Pilgrim.
ReplyDeleteThe very website you point to is exactly what I was thinking about before I even got down that far.
Of course, there is that one guy who put a hair thingy/claw/clamp in his hair and followed some other folks around the grocery store "acting" like he was retarded. He don't count though. Sure was a good show anyhow.
'Noid
Like I said some of us only have one of the traits. Mine is obviously good looks, talent, and personality. I only wish someone had taken a picture of the checkout ladies face. Or Alycia's.
