What Would Lubbock’s Dating Profile Look Like?<\/a><\/p>\nThe Ride<\/p>\n
Immediately, the wind smacks you in the face. Your hat, your toupee, and your Dr Pepper blow clear across the panhandle within the first 5 seconds.<\/p>\n
The Thrills<\/p>\n
Every drop is called a “pothole,” and every spin is a four-way stop, and the rules of the ride aren’t exactly clear, making it even more exciting and terrifying. You’ll get whiplash, but it’s nothing you can’t soothe with a Frito Pie, fittingly sold in the gift shop post-ride. (Trust me. You wouldn’t want one before.)<\/p>\n
The Exit<\/p>\n
After you stumble away dizzy and slightly covered in barf, you’ll swear to never get on the ride again, but trust me, you’ll be back. No matter how chaotic it is, you still seem to like it. Kinda like…well…Lubbock…<\/p>\n
