Went to the circus last night, and walked away scratching my head. I've been many times before, but never really thought about it. What inspires a person to want to be a circus performer? Is there a circus school one must go to in order to fine tune tight rope walking, or juggling fire? Is there a minor league circus circuit where you work your way up to the big top? How does one become the Ring Master? Is he the person who graduates clown college with the highest GPA? Is it the sweet outfits, all shiny and full of sequins? Maybe it is all the trailer time between shows, where they all get freaky with each other?! I just don't understand, and if anyone has any insight, I would love to hear about it.
In a completely unrelated news story, Yawkey dropped a human sized steam pile on the floor last night while we were at the circus. I guess he heard that the elephants were not going to be there last night and wanted us to get our share of shit smell in the air. Well, he succeeded! I let him out before we left, but princess must have been too scared of the rain, and didn't drop stink in the back yard. Thanks buddy!
About Me
- Mark
- I've always wondered if people actually read this stuff. I never do when I'm on other pages. Well, in case, for some strange reason, you find it necessary, I'll give you a little knowledge. I was born in The County. For those of you who don't konw better, that would be Aroostook County. For those of you who do, your jokes won't work on me, they are lame. I'm the son of an investment banker that squandered his every penny on tuna fish sandwiches in the late 80's, and my mother was the lead singer for the Bangles. Neither of those is true, but again, I'm convinced nobody is reading this anyways. I met my wife at a carnival, and we were married by the bearded lady in front of the entire clown brigade. I have a daughter who is training for the 2012 Olympics where she will compete in the Triple Jump and Javelin. We live in a nice little shanty in the woods and are hoping to one day have running water. Any questions?
