Before I play Bottle Up, I play a game I've had my eye on awhile -- I'm gonna call it the Swinging Ladder.

Basically, this is the game where you're on a swinging ladder and you have to climb upward to its end to win a huge prize. I have poor balance in certain circumstances and I know this game's not for me to likely win...but I try it anyway. It looks fun and I liked the girl running it named Rose -- I saw her trying to hustle me into the game the other day while on her smoke break, yelling something like "I can't walk away from here and this is my only chance, give me five minutes!" She also powers her way up the ladder consistently, so yeah, good job being good at your game -- I'M LOOKING AT ALL YA'LL BASKETBALL-BASED GAMES

I get two tries for $5. I take the first few steps okay -- you know, the parts where my heavy feet have an inflatable surface to press against so I don't flip over -- but once I lose that advantage, by design I'm sure, my body gets all shaky trying to keep control and it doesn't take long for me to flip upside to fall.

I asked her for how the pros do this well -- by the way, anytime you want to talk with a carnival worker, ask them how the pros do this so they have a moment to feel smart around you -- and her trick was to never stop moving. I assure you, I really wanted to do this, but my body was like a speed-run of Mischief Makers: SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE

Oh well, pretty fun to try. I'd love to practice this and get good, but my dad didn't play this thirty years ago and recreate a version of the game he could hand down to me years later so I'm not too stressed here.
