Should be fun, I like the circus! Anyone else see Ringling Bros. this year?

Jeez, I haven't been to the circus ever since I was 5. All I remember was the clowns would make me cry because they looked so scary.

 

[Mysterio]

By the way do anyone here know of a place that sells circus music?

DAT DOO DODA DO DA DA DOO!

Saw it here last year...
Very updated in some parts, Old School stuff in other's..

One thing I remember that floored me was the Tiger Tamer..

They roll out like 8 cages on wheels and connect them all together and hook the end up to a big chain link cage in the center ring.
Then, one at a time the tigers come out of the cages from one end all the way to the other.

I'm thinking "Cool, keep the tigers in the cage and they can't get loose.

At the end of the show, they leave this one tiger in the cage and then suddenly drop the cage and he runs LOOSE back to his cage.

I'm sitting there thinking "Did I just see what I think I saw"?

Probably will see some PETA protestors with signs about beating elephants and such.. We gave them some smart Ass comments

 

[vixenbabe]

Lions, Tigers and bears..OH MY!

I have not been to the circus in years..They do not have 'em around here.

Do they still have the side shows?

 

[BigRedCat]

Ringling Bros. seem to really be professional about their animal care. Dont ever go to another circus besides theirs. There is a Vargas circus out here in Cali and they are fucking bastards to the animals. I would never support that kinda animal abuse. Ringling takes care of them and gives them play time etc.

Vix, If you wanna see a "Side Show", there's a Thread around here somewhere that is pretty close..

Otherwise, most SS have been closed down by the Politically correct govmt's...

So sad... I used to like seeing the dude hammer nails up his nose.

 

[vixenbabe]

LMAO...Yeah, he was kinda cool with spikes up his nose wasn't he?

I was more in the lizard man. You know, they dude with the funky skin and forked tongue.

Yep, I was a strange kid....

 

[BigRedCat]

Go see the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. That ought to make you sick. Also if you go to circus freak town in Florida(Gibsonton) there are tons of freaks living there like Lobster Boy(well his lobster son anyway).

 

[Y_lifter]

LIZARD MAN.... Y's mind crawls out of the gutter

 

[vixenbabe]

Big...I just noticed you mentioned Bridgeport up above....
As in Ct. ?( I did not look at the link you posted)I was born in Danbury!

If I recall... Ring. Bro's is a CT. based operation.(or it org. there) I can recall yeeeeeaaaars ago the State of Ct. ran them out due to tax evasion and fraud. You are prolly to young to recall this....

Hmmmm, I'll have to check out the Florida show you mentioned!

 

[vixenbabe]

[email protected] thought I was going to get away with something there and YOU finally caught on...Geeeshhhh...You are slow today.....

 

[BigRedCat]

I am 29...not that young. Unfortunately or fortunately depending how you look at it I look 20-21.

How much room do they have to run around?? Nice to see them play together, but I think animals the size of these guys need a hell of alot more room. I (my opinion) don't believe in a circus and will not go support one, but I am not like those crazy bastards that try to stop the circus. To each is own. I will watch the wild circus on the animal channel where the animal's get to be free and run on there own land. Once again it's just my opinion.

The bear on the unicycle is my favorite.

I am also an animal fanatic and I do believe that Ringling Bros. has the cash to take good care of their animals. Also I used to live in Tampa where their tigers retire too(Wildlife of Easy Street)- they are well taken care of there as well. Anyway, last night the circus was fantastic!! It was really allot of fun, the most fun I have had in a long time in fact- I highly recommend you go if it comes to your town. I had awesome seats- right down in front of the middle ring. The show was great, very entertaining and funny. It has to be one of the last forms of entertainment that is truly for all ages. You could be 9 or 90 and have fun at the circus. Check it out!!
