I love carnies. They meet the tooth-to-tattoo ratio, an important assessment tool for ER staff. Simply stated, if they have more tattoos than they do teeth, they won't be dying in your ER that day. This is from "house of god," a poetic look a the life of an MD. It's a hard read, never made it past the first few chapters. But I do remember that.

What's up with tat? Is Ellie's post the whole tooth? Or is she trying to gum up the works with her biting comments?
Yes. it's true that carnies have skin in the game, sometimes even before the ink is dry.
Either way, those were incisor comments that buck the trend, filled with wisdom. I'll chew on them for a while. Rot else can to do? I don't have any pull around here. At least that's the filling I get. It's been drilled into me.
PS: I'd like to post more but I have to make a trip to The Gap, even though I'm broke. Please, no cracks.

That was a tokin' comment, and I appreciated it. As an aside,show me a carnie & I'll show you a guy who's living the high life. You might think that things just go 'round & 'round for them, but their lives are roller coasters. Following Ferris around can't be easy, you know.
Their lives are shams, a veritable plethora of funny mirrors. It might not be your cup of tea, but it's fine for them. Midway through their lives they might wonder what they're doing, but for the most part they're truckin' along. They can't all live in fun houses - but I wish they'd check their zippers more often.
Waiting for your answer.... Bueler?

Your post was too in tents. You're turning this into a circus. Why hot dog it? That'a corny. Start clowning around and have fun. There's a chance you might get weighed. Aren't you game? Does this ring a bell? Ready to hit the bottle? This is nacho business, but ice cream in the spook house.

An American Indian went to the medical practioner of his choice (ellie's trying to be politcally correct, here - a first!). He was concerned because he was having weird dreams. He told the practioner:
"I had a dream last night that I was a wigwam, - then a teepee. All night I couldn't choose what I was - wigwam/teepee/wigwam/teepee... What's wrong with me?"
The practitioner said, "You're two tents!"

Mike Tyson and his pigeons get a TV show
Jungle cats aren't the only animal with whom Mike Tyson will share
screen time. The former heavyweight champ is getting a reality show
about bird racing on Animal Planet.
Tyson shared his love for pigeons in the 2009 documentary “Tyson.” In
the film, he explained that until one of the pigeons he cared for was
hurt by someone else, he had never hurt any person. That experience is
what led Tyson to take up boxing.

***Just what the flock are they thinking by homing in on this idea?
Are they coo coo or something? What's the message here?
This is a bird brained idea. Mike Tyson seems to be going to seed but at
least this show offer is a feather in his cap. Will he be able to wing it?
Or will there be a flap over this? Can this idea really fly?
This is hard to swallow. He should beak careful because that's always
been the cardinal rule in this game. Mike is no Robin Hood and he might
not be chirpy enough or possess enough talon for this show.
Should there be a statue of limitations on this stuff?
Sorry, I can't coop with this idea caws it's for the birds.
I'd post more but I'm no stoolie.
