The Greatest Show on Earth

Posted on January 16, 2003 by Solonor

I’m going someplace with wild animals and scantily clad women and freaky clowns tonight. And it’s not my office…

I’m excited, because I’ve never been there.

    I like the circus; Kim is less-than-enthusiastic, partially because of clowns, partially due to animal cruelty.

    Everyone should see RBB&B once in their lives, though.

    I used to go a lot as a kid. I need to take my kids soon. You should like it. It’s pretty nifty from what I recall.

    Don’t sit behind the elephants. It is…bad.

    My childhood memories of the circus involve all the parents buying those flashlights on a lanyard for all the kids, and all the kids swinging them around and whacking each other in the head with them. My sister and I included, of course. And when my battery died, I’d sneak in and swap it with hers…

    Long ago and far away, when I was teaching special ed while working on my Masters, we took the whole school to the circus – this was a lower elementary ed school, so grades K-3. You don’t even want to know what it was like to have over 100 emotionally disturbed children run rampant at the Nassau Coliseum. Not only that, but when we finally got them to their seats, they would call the vendors over – get cotton candy, sno cones, popcorn, etc from them, but they had no money to pay for it – they thought it was a free snack. I’d never had a migraine in my life until that day. Oh – did I mention the one kid who was terrified of the clowns and had a major screaming-kicking-punching-biting fit? Or the kids who wanted to ride the elephants and had a tantrum when we told them they couldn’t…

    Needless to say, you can’t get me within 100 feet of a circus anymore – I was traumatized for life!

    Gee – I hope you had a good time 🙂
