It was a weird day in Wonderland...

It certainly was!
Some friends and I went to Canada's Wonderland for the annual Halloween Haunt event.
I have to be honest I was a little scared (I'm a wuss when it comes to scary things), but once we were there I was really excited and couldn't wait to go through some of the Haunted Houses!
The first one we went through was called Massacre Manor and it was one of the only houses that gave me a real good scare. Throughout the night we went on some roller coasters as well and my one friend Kiera kept asking me to do magic tricks for the people around us in line. Eventually I did and it became a little ritual to perform for the people in front, behind, and in some cases all around us. While we waited in line for the Vortex coaster we met this one girl who can only really be classified as Genuine Crazy. She thought it would be a good idea to come to the park in slippers, or should I say "slipper."
You see, she was wearing a shoe...and a slipper...a dolphin slipper...named "Flipper."
and she felt the need to keep announcing to everyone in the line that her slipper was a female dolphin and that it's name was "Flipper."
I managed to haggle (read: asked) her for a photo in exchange for a magic trick.
Luckily she obliged and I got this wonderful souvenir:



Anyways, we went continued through the line and just as we were about to get on Vortex the announced that the ride was closed due to weather conditions.
We were rather pissed.
So we decided to try some more haunted houses and I must say I'm quite pedantic (overly concerned with minute details or formalisms) and in my opinion the houses were rather lackluster (Lacking brightness, luster, or vitality; dull).

The one thing that most people were very happy about was...

BEHEMOTH!
I've been on the ride several times now, but nothing compares to going on it at night...in the dark! You can't see the track that well and the wind makes it seem like you're going that much faster.

The final house of the night was "Clowns at Midnight" which we just so happened to go through at midnight, which made it really literal (but not anymore terrifying)

I decided to see what would happen to the "scareactors" if I did my famous "puking the cards from the mouth trick." (see photo)


As it turns out, the people inside "Clowns at Midnight" went from creepy clown people to normal people in a second. The one guy kept asking me to do it again, but the best was the guy who said "That's the craziest shit i've seen all night!"

So all in all it was a pretty awesome time and I can't wait to go back next year!

BUT the biggest, craziest, and most scary thing of the night came long after we had left the park.
We were all hungry so we decided to stop at Wendy's for some food. There was this long ass line that wasn't moving, but we decided to stick it out. Then when we were getting a little bit closer, these 3 people cut right to the front of the line to "look at the menu."
Everyone knew right away that they had an attitude and that they were really trying to get ahead of everyone. People started complaing both to the cutters and to the Wendy's staff, yet neither of them were doing anything about it. That's when this big black guy behind us started to get confrontational with the line cutters.
My favourite quote from the guy behind us had to be:
"You get outta my face BITCH...Fuckin' Mouthpiece!"
The lady taking working the counter eventually took their order, much to the amazement and anger of the people who had been waiting in line for at least 20 minutes.

Luckily I got it all on tape with my handy-dandy camera phone...Enjoy!






FUCKIN' MOUTHPIECE!
