I love the corndogs!
Never really buy anything, just eat the corndogs

Yeah I agree that is going on there. Especially when you get to the outskirts of the place.
On the corndog subject..I did have one today and it tasted like crap. Most likely because I don't eat much of that kind of stuff (fried food) but you'd think that would taste good...but for some reason it just didn't to me.

Most of their other food is just plain nasty. Looks nasty and....ugh. But love the corndogs--but you have to make sure they are fresh, otherwise they fall into the category of everything else. :/
That place has gotten huge over the years and the stolen stuff, is well, part of the "culture" I guess you can say. I remember once going there not to long ago and almost buying a 20-something inch flat screen TV/DVD player for $100. Sad, I know.

Roseville, its called " Denios Farmers Market". It still sells fruit and veggies, but is now most known for its 80+ acre flea market.
-------------------------------------------------------
Here's a (long) story:
Across the street is a smaller, less successful (don't even know if its even open nowadays) flea market. My dad used to love that place because well, all they sold was junk and for some reason he likes to look around at all that stuff. Anyhow, there's this guy in this little trailer who sells mini-donuts. He has this promo running constantly over a loud speak saying... ::chuckes:: can't believe I still remember..." Mini donuts, fresh mini donuts, 18 for a dollar, 13 for 75 and 8 for 5O cents...come on by, take a bag home."
So, when I was a little my mom and dad used to like to go there a lot and they would split up me and my siblings between them and then meet up afterwards at this Chinese food place right next to mini donut trailer. One day we were there waiting at a table for my Mom to come. Me being the little kid that I was sat there for at least a 30-45 min, repeating over and over the mini donut promo, until finally the guy came out of his trailer and handed me a bag of donuts to shut me up.

Bdouble - I got a bunch of shirts, like mechanic type shirts, some with name tags sewn on, you know that type of thing. I like those shirts and I just pull the name tags off. I also got some dvds and a beanie type cap like Mobley wears.

Twenty-eight years ago, I went with my four-year-old son to Denio's. I was Mr. Mom at the time, and it can be difficult for one person to track an active child while shopping. He disappeared! This is not the place you want or need your four-year-old to disappear.
I searched and searched, and was almost in full-panic. After twenty minutes of searching, I found him. He had run a quarter mile to the vegetable section of the market, climbed up on an empty table, and was dancing for a group of delighted women.
That pretty much defined his personality for the next 25 years.
As I was winding my way through the market, he broke and ran again, and like the Jingle Bells song, laughing all the way. I took off after him, snagged him by the collar, dragged him off to the side, smacked his bottom, and admonished him to behave. He started screaming and crying like mad. It was a complete show of course. The incident drew a crowd, and two old ladies standing off to the side said, "That man should be horse-whipped".
That's my most vivid memory of Denio's market.

Never really buy anything, just eat the corndogs
**gross alert** I used to love Denio's corndogs. Until the one day I was there in the parking lot and happened upon the freshly vomited remains of a Denio's corndog that apparently didn't set well with someone. I would never be able to eat one there again, I think, that ruined it for me.

Thanks nebs, Now I have the Denios theme song running through my head....
My family has been going there since it opened. I remember when It was in the middle of nowhere. Now its basically in the city.
As a kid I always liked the farmers market and going to get jerkey and pepperoni. I havent been in a while.. My uncle used to have his own business and hed sell in the auction. It was fun.. as long as it wasnt 100 degrees.
I need to get out there soon.

The first true democratic election in 5,000 years of history for an Arab people took place yesterday. A hundred years from now, 30 January 2005 will likely be recognized as a seminal point in Middle Eastern history. This was a huge event. Time will tell just how huge.
How about them Kings? On 30 January 2005, the Miracle on Wood took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The ancient Timberwolves Curse was broken by the Bench Mob.

I could only vaguely remember a Denios song......up until now, when out of nowhere the song pops into my head... Great, there goes the next 2 days worth of mindless thinking...
