12 ways to avoid carnival game venders

Each year an estimated 3 million people visit the Texas state fair, bringing in about $350 million to the Dallas economy. With over priced sodas, fried food, and sketchy carnival style rides, the state fair is a great family friendly environment. But the worst part about a trip to the fair is the annoying vendors trying to get you to play their rigged games.

Below is a list of techniques and creative ways to confuse and puzzle venders, giving you enough time to make a break for it.

1.   Look interested, say “Oh let me go ask my mom,” and run away.
2.   Start fake crying and run away, screaming “I can’t talk to strangers.”
3.   Look at them with a puzzled look and say “no habla ingles”
4.   Put up your pointer finger, put your other hand to your ear, say you’re on your blue tooth.
5.   “I are allergic to games.”
6.   “I can’t read.”
7.   “I have a broken spleen.”
8.   “I have to use the lavatory.”
9.   “A ninja just came by and stole all my tickets.”
10. Repeat every word they say until they get annoyed and give up.
11.   Ask them if they want to play the game- this confuses them.
12.   Say you want a demonstration and when they turn their back, make a break for it.

Greetings children. My name is Darby Darton Blaylock. I am 17 years old. I have been apart of the newspaper staff for 6 years now. I enjoy it for the most part. I love to fish and be outside. I will not watch any Nicholas Sparks movies. Ever. I listen to older rock, alternative music, and a little country here and there. I play soccer for Andromeda FC, and for the school. I am scared of ladybugs because when I was 5 I swear one bit me. I am a morning person, and I was voted most likely to wear track-shorts.
