CNE Security... or is it Nazi?

So it is myself, Grimm and Pul[sic] (ask Inari Vachs) doing yet another marathon gleam on the lakeshore. That makes three times this week, and are my feet killing me.

back to the topic....
So we're gleaming away, hanging out with Carnies and such when we are confronted by 5 security nazi's looking to flex their security muscle. The lead nazi tells us that we aren't allowed to gleam on the CNE grounds. I look all the way down the road from where we came and respond with "well I'm not walking back, that's for sure". The security nazi immediately responds with one of those "oh I was just joking" kinda bullshit comments that people make when they can tell you're not really impressed with them bothering you. We decide that its boring anyway and start to make our way for one of the many exits. We make a quick stop at one of the fountains (reminder folks.... don't drink the water) and dunk our heads for some refreshing cool water. "HEY... I'll get a drink at one of those ever so conveniently located pop vending machines", says I. A quick gleam over to the machine and I shove two loonies into one of the Coke machine, only to notice that it hasn't done anything but take my money and not even drop it into the tray inside. The usual physical beating of a vending machine occur. But this machine is no ordinary vending machine, it is a pain in the fucking ass machine that enjoys playing with your thirst. So I start to tilt the machine... actually rock the fucker back and forth (all parties involved are safe). One of the loonies falls in and now I have officially paid a dollar. Just need that other dollar to go in and I'm gonna be enjoying a cold Sprite. Doesn't wanna give... I keep rocking but it refuses to give in. Watching the majority of the proceedings is a security nazi... but this one is on a golf cart. You don't mess with the ones on golf carts!! So this guy starts to tell us that we aren't even allowed on the CNE grounds. We are fairly shocked by that claim since all but one entrance are wide open for anyone to walk in (or gleam). So he asks what entrance we took to get in. He or Grimm, don't remember which, mentioned Dufferin (??). **Not really paying attention at this point** He then claims we couldn't have come in that entrance cuz its guarded 24/7. I point at us three and said, "well we're in here are we not" and gave him one of those body motions like 'look at us you turd'. We actually went in through Ontario Place, but he doesn't have to know that!! :)

So... finally he talks us into leaving... again, its boring as hell and we're leaving anyway. But we aren't just leaving normally, no, we're being escorted by this nazi on his golf cart. At which point we slow the hell down, cuz we were gonna make that 1 minute gleam into an hour. We went SOOOOOOOOOO slow until we finally reached the exit. Now the funny part was the two security guards who we claimed were not there when we went in the park.
They got in shit for their lack of enforced security, even though we lied about where we entered.

After that, aside from Grimm falling again on his previously cut knee, the rest of the trip home happened without incident.

I will admit to a SNAP that Grimm layed on me.

I took off my t-shirt to cool off and stop sweating on the shirt cuz I had plans afterwards. I go, "how can I make this look cool", meaning to look like all the studs that gleam with their shirts off.... but a SNAP was headed my way in the variety of "put your shirt back on"

I'll admit... it was funny

Then we decide to go to the office.... refer to next blog
