Surfed over to boing² yesterday and what did I see? NC State Fair coverage! And the small world gets just a few bytes smaller. The blogger at N&O definitely has it correct - every year there's something new being deep-fried at the state fair. Careful readers, of course, will remember that fried banana pudding is so last year. Good thing I have until Wednesday to decide between the fried piña colada strips and the previously overlooked classic fried Twinkies. But in the final analysis, all right-thinking people agree that it's all about the mini-doughnuts
