Mennonite Extravaganza

June 15th, 2008 by Aaron | Posted in pictures, video |

I don’t always like to admit it, but once a year I have to face the facts and embrace my inner Mennonite. This is mostly for the purpose of stuffing my face at the MCC Sale. It’s basically a contest in which all the little old Mennonite ladies get together and see who can feed me the most. This is the kind of contest the world needs more of.

Beginning, naturally, with standing line with all the other Mennos presumably there to do the same thing.

And of course, followed up with the regular roundup of Mennonite staples. Farmer sausage, cottage cheese perogies, and plumi moos.

Round that off with watermelon and rollkuchen.

At this point, I needed a break. Dessert was still coming, and I needed some time to digest before I burst. So I checked out the music, and who was playing? Well, none other than the always-popular Secondhandpants. Unfortunately, they were missing Marlon Wyll Maynard due to a certain Intercontinental Championship. Francis here had it under control, however:

The Sound of Science!

So. Dessert: pie and platz. Can’t go wrong.

So ends another trip into the deepest recesses of my cultural group. As tasty though it may be, I’m kind of glad that it’s over: now I can go back to sin and debauchery for another year.
