Counterfeits amid the cow pies
LRPD reports on a vice detail inspection at the State Fair:
Vice detectives inspected a booth at the State Fair that was selling various name brand items, which were suspected to be counterfeit. Vice detectives contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and ICE Agents responded to the Arkansas State Fair and made contact with Boukare Ouiya, 52, of Aurora, Colorado. ICE Agents determined Mr. Ouiya to be an illegal alien and took custody of him. Mr. Ouiya stated he was not the owner of the booth and could not provide the name of the owner of the booth. Mr. Ouiya attempted to call the owner of the booth with negative results. Vice Detectives took custody of the items in the booth to store at the Little Rock Police Department Property Room for safekeeping, including but not limited to 179 pairs of Nike shoes, 20 Louis Vuitton purses, 102 Coach purses, 48 Chanel purses, 24 Dolce & Gabbana purses, 1 Fendi purse, 2 Kate Spade purses, 1 Christian Dior purse, and 12 Gucci purses.

Counterfeit! Really?
I would have never suspected that a $14 pair of Nike shoes or a $20 Louis Vuitton purse might not be the real thing. Especially at the state fair. Brilliant piece of detective work there folks.

What! No imitation Rolexes? Get 'em by the tub full on the Internets. And as Doigotta said, just glad they weren't selling chances on a drawing for a FBLA quilt.

Well..this is too much! Finding out that cheap shit at the fair is fake on the same day that I find out Marcia Brady traded sex for drugs after the Brady Bunch went off the air and I MISSED IT! It's just too much for a Monday! Reminds me of the 3rd night I was a student at the U of A. I stood in line for a gang bang at Yocum for hours and never got in the door. It was a taste of things yet to not come for me, for the rest of my life.
And now I learn that some people at state fairs are shady......what happened to America? I remember the time when all carnival workers were like Elvis! I hope they find out that Mr. Ouiya is a Muslim. Boy.....that will fry his taters!

Death,
What floor was that on, I think I might have been in line behind you. If I remember right the consolation was that those on up ahead in line had to go the the free clinic and I didn't.
Free clinic that is where you hear guys ask, "you want to stick that 6" Q-tip where?"

The gang bang was in the early days of the fall semester of 1973. I really don't remember...4th or 5th floor, I was pretty drunk on Boones Farm wine. Met some nice people sitting in the hall waiting in line, but I was forced to keep my virginity for another 3 long years. And it was another 10 years before I became popular enough to get one of them community diseases. Remind me to be more George Clooney-like in my next life.
