(1920s American voice) "Nyeaas, come one, come all - welcome to the 22nd annual state fair! We've got strong men, bearded women, sword and fire eaters, and more! We've even got a brand new attraction that'll really rip your trousers off. Come feast your eyes on our mesozoic marvel, our prehistoric predecessor, our very own, real life dinosaur! Found in the exotic lands of Japan, his original finders named him, "Yoshi", and boy is he a sight to see. Our dinosaur friend here can run this entire death-defying obstacle course in no time flat! What's more? For just $0.50 cents, your son or daughter can ride Yoshi through the obstacle course! A Triassic treat, a Jurassic joyride, for just $0.50 cents! Don't you worry your pretty little heads, now, mothers; this Yoshi's got a heart of gold, he'd never let your baby drop --(quietly) but if he does, we ain't liable, sweetheart. And performing the hottest music of today for your listening pleasure, the J-MUSIC Pocket Band! So whaddya say? Come on down for this once in a lifetime spectacle - at the 22nd annual state fair!"
