My wife and kids may not always agree, and someday I may open the door to find a huge metal chicken staring at me. (of course there's a back story to that statement.) However, on some occasions it saves me from doing really crazy things. For instance, this week we all went to the fair and had a great time. I was almost tempted to ride this giant sling shot thingy that springs you up about 100 feet and lets you free fall back. What stopped me was that it would cost $40 to let them scare the crap out of me. See, being cheap can help.
Not that I was absent in doing anything crazy. There was a ride called "Apollo" that I had to try. In some variations this thing is called "The Hammer", this one could handle a small crowd as it hurles you in a vertical centrifuge. Or more like that old trick with a bucket of water where you spin in up over your head and not spill a drop. Except when you do, because you paused at the top.
If that description is not enough, then check out the video someone else made and posted.
See, I'm a crazy cheap dad.
