Ethnography of a State Fair

[TheOriginalAnalogKid]

Thank you, Lizz!

As usual, sistersalad has broadened my horizons, and led me to a greater understanding of this wonderful world we live in! (of course I am refering to the "mutton bustin"!) Kids getting trampled by angry sheep!?!? WOW! I have to learn more about this exciting sport!!!

[partyweetow]

Cubs ftw...

[beautyliedead]

I love the invisible flemish giant. It makes an excellent pet and s a rather holy animal to those of the cult of the invisible pink unicorn in the sky. -nod- Very sacred.

little kids getting run over by sheep are filmed and put on youtube (probably without their parents knowledge) yet invisisis is still invisible? btw i'm not a pedo just curious about invisisis

[avatardoxiemediator]

Sheep riding? Wow! Where in Nerfighteria was this? I must do this, except my Momato and Dadish wouldn't approve of this plan... :D

[lucasology]

i had to log in just to say i for real "lol'd" at this video (and i forgot my password so this took like 5 minutes just to log in!)... i was browsing "anthropology" and came along this video.... lol male flemish giant xD.... well nice video bye =]

[sistersalad]

Wow, thanks for the dedication you exerted to let us know you enjoyed the video! We appreciate it. :-)

[StrudelTheEggNoodle]

I actually won the Mutton Bustin' competition when I was 4 at my county rodeo. :) I still have the t-shirt.

[sistersalad]

Congratulations! And do you still have sheep-themed nightmares?

[nightcrawler195]

Your videos are amazing and you guys seem to have a lot of fun, keep on keeping on.

[ArchmageLord]

Sheep rodeo with 6 year old participants?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!

[forestcats]

Humans aren't endangered and this is just modern selection of the fittest.

[RaynTheOldManJenkins]

You are probably the nerdiest of the nerdfighters. I love it XD I don't understand half of the words you use

[BaldButWigged]

ohemgee @ the sheep races. lol @ the invisible bunny.

[saladuncle]

Don't forget to send me my site-and-prop fee for filming at my apartment and using my spinning chairs in this video.

[phampants]

you crack me up! miss you in nerdfighteria island

[caitlinlavergne]

You're so weird.

I love it! :)

I know someone who used to be a state champion mutton buster back in the day during her early years in Alabama (the mutton bustin' capital of the world and as everyone knows the site of the Mutton Bustin' Hall of Fame). The only problem is that getting repeatedly kicked in the head between the ages of four and seven by the sheep can eventually take a toll. LD ;-)

[bandgeek8408]

For all the fairs I've visited, I've never thought to do that. (Pretend I know things about animals, that is.) I'll have to keep that fun activity in mind.

[IJethrobot]

Eye of the Tiger! It's the only thing my hometown is associated with! That and cheesesteaks.

Mutton Bustin' was pretty intense, I have to say. I think if there are any mothers in the YT audience watching, they would have fainted!

[Exodous23]

Nah theres more than that. World fucking champions baby gettin set for a repeat. Go Phils!! Oh and mutton bustin looks awesome don't kow whats funner riding the sheep or watching the kids get owned by the sheep. I wish we had that here.

[tammytamnov]

The Mutton Bustin' part was just one of those things that I wanted to close my eyes and look away, but there was some inexplicable pull from the screen that I just HAD to watch it. It was like watching John eat his blenderized Happy Meal.

WOAH 10TH COMMENT! (Sorry, I've never gotten this early on these videos, ever.)

[fizzylimon]

Lizz... you are absolute awesome. I can't tell if I'd rather have you as my professor, my mother, my sister, or just a good friend, but I think all four would be very preferable situations.

[sistersalad]

:-) Thanks!

[BusanKevin]

very cool video! The State Fair is a very different entity than most things we have in Canada. I assume that in the Western part of Canada they have things like this, but never where I grew up! Coool

They sure have a lot of cool festivals here in japan though.

[8531212]

I like to keep my meat warm and flavorful too!(rim shot) As for the sheep, Didn't Momato ever tell you not to play with your food?

[culwin]

Hey you should make more singing videos.

[Loreki]

That whole sheep riding thing would probably qualify as child abuse pretty much anywhere else in the world.

I think you've missed a trick with your masters though; you could've done a whole degree on bunnies.

[sistersalad]

Hahaha! Why didn't I think of that?

[Loreki]

'Cause there's not a lot of jobs for bunniologists in this economy?

[sistersalad]

Sad but true.  Darn this recession!

[Miss00Meg]

D'aww, fun video Lizz! Your hair was looking exceptionally cute too, woo! And oh man, I less than three singing on Rock Band.

...also, I'm glad to learn that I'm not the only one who goes through the state fair (or anyplace, for that matter) making up random facts about the different exhibits.

[sistersalad]

You do? That's so awesome! I hope one day I happen upon one of your presentations.

[Alpha1Bravo1Charlie1]

lmao at the sheep riding.

[seven2one]

i saw the word "ethnography" and got super excited. hahah. oh anthropology.... what have you done to my brain?!??

i've seen a mutten bustin' competition. they're much more exciting than you'd think... :)

[JJDaco]

I had just watched your other video and was sad to see that the next part wasn't up yet. I thought, "Hmm, I wonder if Lizz will upload the next one soon." You must've heard me because I reloaded the page and it was up.

You magical-possibly-psychic person, you.

[sistersalad]

Mwahahahaha... I'z in ur thoughts, reedin ur mynd.

[emmaluhhdat]

ohhh hay! :)
