You gotta read this: Everyone Loves A Sideshow!
"Do you have The World's Biggest Pig and will let me see it for only fifty cents? SWEET. Are you demonstrating the Sham-Wow ("YOU KNOW GERMANS ALWAYS MAKE GOOD STUFF") for a crowd of disinterested tourists? I'M THERE. Are you running a ride that is clearly missing a support strut and making audible grinding noises as it goes around? AWESOME. Just let me finish my steak-on-a-stick and I will be right with you. "I will happily spend six hours in a day wandering around under the Florida sun, managing to burn even the part in my hair, getting my feet run over by people in scooters and divesting myself of cash for things on sticks. "But the best? Oh man, the best are the Sideshows. "So yesterday my husband and I are at the state fair, and ... we see a large red tent. On the front, on a platform, is a man in a pinstriped suit and red snakeskin shoes. I am ecstatic over those shoes. Those shoes make me happy in the way the laughter of children might do for others. "The tent is festooned with all the very best in sideshow poster attractions. GORILLA GIRL -- SEE HER CHANGE BEFORE YOUR EYES! DR FRANKENSTEIN -- SEE THE ACT BANNED IN THREE COUNTRIES! SPIDERELLA -- HALF WOMAN, HALF SPIDER, SHE WILL SPEAK TO YOU! "Awwwwww yeah. Who do I give my money to? That would be the man onstage swallowing the broadsword next to the fire-eating elderly midget." --And it goes on from there - if only all the crowds could be like this couple! |

Doug, sorry, you're confusing the word "bwcome" with "have".

Brett, you became a woman at the World of Wonders? What do you mean? Like a Half/N/Half act?

Stephon Special user Maryland, USA 911 Posts |
And I seem to be confusing the letter "w" with "e". Jwsus.

Poor Brett! He seems to be having a gerund identity crisis. Watch that dangling participle!

Well I took her and she saw Red do his Frankenstien blow off act and she turned white. I'm such a romantic for valentines day.

One look at Red's mouth is enough to turn Wesley Snipes white. I only say this because Red invented the toothbrush... had anyone else invent it and it would've been called a teethbrush.

His line was "When I was younger and I still had teeth, I used to pick them in a peculiar way. From the outside of my cheek." Good stuff!

Oh how I wish I was there for that! At the MN State Fair this guy had a similar fit, and Mike (Vitka) said something hilarious that I unfortunately can't remember, it would have been awesome to have someone from the audience join in the defense. The man was carrying an armful of slum and was worried about being ripped off by WoW
