Happy hump day, kids! Scroll on down for Today's Tip!
WIN CARNIVAL GAMES
To knock down the milk bottle pyramid, aim for the base of the bottom two bottles. The bottom bottles are weighted, so if you aim for the center of the pyramid you'll have no luck.
Shoot the ball underhand when you play the basketball shoot. The rim is smaller than regulation size and is oval instead of round. Also, the backboard is extra bouncy and the ball is overinflated. If you shoot the ball underhand, you'll have a better chance of arcing the ball in for a swish past the crooked rim.
Throwing darts at balloons? Instead of throwing a dart straight at a balloon, try to arc it high for a better chance of hitting a balloon. The darts are dulled and the balloons are underinflated, so arcing will also help the dart to pierce a balloon.
Now go to your local carnival and win that huge teddy bear you've always wanted!

LOL! I remember this one particular game at Knott's Berry Farm (Buena Park, CA) where you can get a toy if the guy does not guess your age within 2 years ... When he guessed that I was 13 years younger, I smiled, thanked him and snatched my toy
WOW! Who woulda thunk Miss Pammy has the inside carnie scoop????
I actually worked a carnival for two weeks 35 or so years ago, downtown SanAntonio Fiesta. It was the year that psycho shot in to the crowd during the big parade. Needles to say hubby who was my BF at the time started working next to my ballon booth, to watch out for me. He did the basketball throw. Tough crowd!!!!

Can't rep you again yet, Chatteress, but that's a great story!
So what’s the secret with the bearded tattooed lady?
Don't ask if she's free Sat night.
