ernest goes to jail movie

 this morning i watched a DVD movie, a recent amazon purchase, 'ernest goes to jail'. i was aware of it being name-checked in a 'big bang theory' episode. i had seen some of these 'ernest' movies but it had been a while. i saw 'saves christmas' at theaters, and i had seen 'goes to camp' as well. this disc is a triple feature, the other two are 'goes to camp' and 'scared stupid'. this movie, 'goes to jail', is a case of mistaken identity, ernest looking just like a convict, and is swapped out for him. according to the closing credits, jim varney played 3 roles. not just ernest and the convict, but also an aunt. this movie is more for kids, might have been why i liked these 'ernest' movies more when i was much younger. since there is a lot of slapstick in it. his home reminded me of what was seen on 'pee wee's playhouse' with all of the gadgets in it. 

i had some things to do after the movie was done, and this meant doing laundry. this was around midday, and i had lunch, some red baron pizza, just before getting started. once laundry was done i went for a haircut but it was not to be. the place i normally go to has limited hours, closed on the weekends, which does me no good. granted, it not only was a sunday, but also a holiday weekend, so i knew there wasn't going to be a lot of options. but i didn't see it as a wasted trip- i saw it as a 'fact finding mission'. i found a place that i will try next weekend, that is open on saturday. then it was time to get on the road for the st. paul saints baseball game. the saints were playing indianapolis, and were trailing, 1-0, in the top of the first when i arrived. a few innings later, they went ahead 5-3 on a 3-run home run and never trailed after that. although the visitors tied it 7-7 in the 9th with 2 runs, but the saints got one in the bottom of the inning to win, 8-7. i usually eat before i go, but it was kind of early to eat when it was a 5pm start. the lines for food were ridiculously long, throughout the stadium, so eventually i asked if i could just get some coca-cola and a bag of peanuts from a stand serving mixed drinks. then i got a coney dog from a food truck on the warning track after the game ended, it was from 'dine-1-1', a converted ambulance. i chose this game because of the fireworks show, which was a good show as usual, as it included some music. the final song i recall being played was 'walking on sunshine'. later on i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 54 cents.
