Donna,Bad, Bad mistake. Supervisor of Clowns?
There are just too many of them around here. If they all apply at once you're a gonner.

For the concessions we could have:
Beans and rice in a cup.
Spam on a stick
Popsickles made from bottled water
Pop corn with re-constituted butter
And ALL the wheat berries and powdered milk you can Ever eat.
-- Greybear, and you just won't believe the shooting gallery

-- Rob Michaels (sonofdust@net.com), February 25, 1999.
Alright, but if I don't get the pickle concession, it'll be after the fight!And maybe my brother-in-law, (Nine-fingers Budreaux) could do his semi-trained alligator act. It's a hit here on the bayou.

Maybe big problem. Chicken shortage.With this crowd, the side show will have soo many geeks in it that it may impossible to find chickens for miles around.

Rob....a circus job is perfect for one as serious as you. You ever hear the Smokey Robinson song: "Tears of a Clown"? "Balance, Grasshopper. Try to grab the pebble from my hand." (Let's see how many popular metaphors can I thrown into one post? What's a clown to do?)
Ringmaster/Mistress?
-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 25, 1999.
-- I wanna play (can@i.play?), February 25, 1999.
THAT IT !!Our idea man hit the jackpot. We need hyenas. STOP. It's way too easy to nominate any/all of the politicians for the job, just because they feast on the work of others, and fight among themselves a lot.
BTW, where's Old Git, we need some Hurdy Gurdy dancers. I know she knows how to dance, and she may be the only one here other than greybear who is old enough to even know what Hurdy Gurdy dancers are.
-- Greybear, who finally got that italics thing down.
ps, does anyone else keep hearing March of the Gladiators in the background?
-- Greybear (greybear@home.com), February 25, 1999.
I know what Hurdy Gurdy is...and I'm NOT old enough. Nyah, Nyah!!!Get Old Git!!!!
We need a clown car, Lon!....See what you can do.
Dieter...If you don't like being shot out of the cannon,...perhaps you'd do the Homer Simpson routine and have a cannon ball shot at your stomach nightly. It's a hit with the GenX crowd.
Can we book Smashing Pumpkins for the Circus Band? Can they play March of the Gladiators? :-)
-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 25, 1999.
Donna: Does this ringmaster have to have a mistress. Dear Mrs. Michaels would not hear of it! She is calling me now since it's lights out time. Perhaps I can hold the net that Dieter is going to be shot into from the cannon. :)Greybear: I used to know what it was - they say the first thing to go is, uh, well, I forget.
BFN, Rob
-- Rob Michaels (sonofdust@net.com), February 25, 1999.
Lon, maybe we need a Clown Ringmaster....I'm nominating YOU! (music swells dramatically in the background). Clown Circus:Clown Ringmaster...and in all deference,...the circus WAS your idea. And to think,...I taught him to juggle,...
-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 25, 1999.
Rob,...if Lon doesn't jump on the opportunity to be ringmaster,..I think it is a perfect job for one as serious as you! :-)BTW,...no the ringmaster can be a married, faithful soul. But the groupies will be a terrible temptation, and of course then there are the adoring fans....Are you up to the task?
How do you look in a clown nose?
-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 25, 1999.
A bit of S. California circus trivia: There is a shoemaker/repair shop in my town that makes and sells those great clown shoes....
-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 25, 1999.
Donna, I suspect you're bringing back painful memories for Dieter. One too many shots as it were . . .
-- I Know (Who@He.Is), February 25, 1999.
When Mrs. Michaels punches me in the nose it turns quite red and gets to be about double in size (she has a brown belt). If I take this job and she finds out about the groupies you will no longer have a ringmaster. :(Hopefully, there will be another job that I can do that is a little safer, like taming wild tigers. There she is again calling me - gotta go now - see youz guyz tomorrow.

I know it's probably occured to most of you already, since the ol Bears so slow, butWe gotta have bread, lotsa bread
-- Greybear (greybear@home.com), February 25, 1999.
Of course, we'll need a liason with the FRL for when we have to pass through hostile territory....we might even ask them for a deal on fruitcake for concessions....as long as nobody throws the stuff at the clown car. They'd cancel our insurance for sure if that happens.
-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 25, 1999.
Donna, are you gonna JUGGLE? Ah, shoot. I thought you said JIGGLE.Gotta get these bifocles fixed.

Ah, welcome aboard, Leska and Ashton!!!!! Bravas!!!!Mud wresting, I'm afeared is a must...something about juggling and jiggling...Check with Lon on that.... :-) I think we'll need special Yourdon Y2K T-shirts for all the participants.

I got the solution to one of our potential problems. If Dieter comes around giving us too much flak, we'll just put him in charge of the beavers. That should keep him busy awhile.-- Greybear, who is very disappointed that no one asked him why we have to have a bunch of bread. (One of the reasons, among many, that MaMa Bear has been my favorite for 28 yrs is that she feeds me the straight lines, right on queqe.)

-- Lon Frank (postit@here.com), February 26, 1999.
OK, GB, I'll bite on the bread question. Actually, I was workin up nerve to do it anyway, just wanted someone else to be first in the bozo line for a change.
-- Lon Frank (postit@here.com), February 26, 1999.
Seems like being a bozo would be a diserable thing hangin on this thread.Anyway, haven't you seen the many historical refferences splashed about on several threads. I know it's been quoted at least twice:
Give the common man the vote and they will surley vote themselves bread and circuses.
-- Greybear, who is just trying to be accomodating to the customers.
-- Greybear (greybear@home.com), February 26, 1999.
OK, I'll LEAD the elephunts. And we get to go BEFORE the horses, donkeys, mules etc.gotta keep the white buck shoes white.

Y'all have reminded me about a question I've wanted to ask someone for a while now. It has to do with the fable of the Five Blind Men from Hindustan. I've seen it mentioned on this board a couple of times.For those not familar with it, I'll give a brief review. There were 5 blind men (form Hindustan) who went to investigate an elephant. One felt the trunk, One an ear, One a leg, One the side and the last the tail. They all got back together and discussed what that thing really was. (this story is particularly good for us on this board since we all see a different view).
Now my question is this. Don't y'all think that last guy, if he'd just hung around and investigated a little longer would have probably gotten an additional message that might have cleared up the problem right away?
What are we gonna do about those messages?
-- Greybear, who can't wait to see the gif somebody digs up on this one.
-- Greybear (greybear@home.com), February 26, 1999.
Sorry I wasn't here when this thing got going. No dramamine for the various spins and I got a [fill in the blank with your favorite expletive] headache. Now I have the shakes and I'm seeing non-compliant pink elephants from withdrawal symtoms, so this thread will give me a good fix. Thanks to y'all for that.Okay, first off, can we call it Edward Yourdon's Magnificent Flying Circus? I'd be glad to take on the Ringmistress role--Ha! Gimme that top hat and whip and pass me that black leather thingie.
Hurdy Gurdy? Hell, I remember the Viennese waltz, Boston and military two-steps, Virginia reel, charleston, foxtrot, quickstep, hoochy-coochy, jitterbug, paso doble, cha-cha, locomotion, twist, and all the rest that followed on. But my favorite of all was the bump, especially after I gained a little weight. Are y'up for it, Dieter? Hello?
-- Old Git (anon@spamproblems.com), February 26, 1999.
The correct answer is B: It looks like a pill box. (Big pill)!Ringmistress, I don't think I can handle Lobo or BigDog, but I really am generally good with dumb animals (I talk Circles around them). ANd I have my own 2 cats and a parrot (I even talk circles around her!). So can I try to be a trainer, please (just no cabeese)?
-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 26, 1999.

Perhaps we should check with Ed first - since this here magnificent and colossal circus is named for him, it goes to follow, it comes to follow, or doesn't follow at all but insteads leads to the delusion that these ports should also be named after him too.

-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), February 26, 1999.
Donna, I think you may be on to something here.We need to go on a elph-hunt. We could capture some of the little buggers and train them as clowns. Could get a lot moer inta the car.
And speaking of Moors, don't we need a few of those just for exocitica.
On the food front, it looks like Chuckie is going to insist that we sell TVP burgers. Not so bad when you realize we gotta use all that bread for something.
How about The Magnificent and Colossal Yourdon Y2K Circus adn Fertilizer Distributors. Naw too flashie.
I would like to add a flea circus to our agenda. As long as I can avoid that relly mean bad one.

Maybe he'll part with some of the bilyuns of bucks he's making with his bottle ring-toss skam to buy us a Jumbo-Dumbo-Pooper-Scooper.

Now about that drum rim shot....you know how the stand-up comedians do it? (Da dum dum dum)...Apply it liberally.

Proposal:We need a motto for our troup. Now since all the really great mottos are in Latin we shold have gotten something from Donna. But it seems like everytime her Latin genes (I think see buys them a el Gappo) kick in all she wants to do is argue.
So you local dancing Bear has dug in to his dim, foggy memory and resurected (yeah, there are a lot of dead things in there) an old Latin motto he remembers from somewhere. Presented here for your consideration.
Oce umbilli, Se umgo
Fortibus es ena row
O nobili, de maint trux
Demis onligee sean dux
-- Greybear, purveyor of Latin mottos
-- Greybear (greybear@home.com), February 27, 1999.

Well, since you asked. [It all works so much better when they ask]The sad little saga encapsulated by this ancient poem is the story of one who is trying to see beyound the range of their vision and the truth becomes clear only later in the story. Let the truths and wisdom contained herein speak to us across the ages.
While the name of the original author has been lost in the mists of antiquity, scholars believe that it is one of the two famous personages mentioned in the classic example of brevity in communication. For any not familar with that classsic exchange that would make any Mainer proud, here follows that example between a tailor and his customer.
"Euripedes!", "Eumindides?"
Here's the original saga (author unknown) for your convenience:
Oce umbilli, Se umgo
Fortibus es ena row
O nobili, de maint trux
Demis onligee sean dux
Translation:
O see 'em Billy, see 'em go
Forty busses in a row
O no, Billy, them ain't trucks
Them is only geese and ducks
--Greybear, try to arguementum with that Mz Barthuley, haa!
Modern scolars think these may have been stealth geese.

I alway thought that was what those Cajuns would look like if you could ever catch one out in the day light.
But fer how cum u got de bar makum him look soo mean? (Dam he's even get me talkin like a cajun. This is MUCH worse than typing flru).
BTW, I've been wondering about something. How does a cajun pronounce the name of that bleach product. Would it be clor-o? I'm pretty sure the ues all those exes just so they can add to the confusion. (As if being a cajun was not enough).
Another pressing question:
Given that we are an unconventional bunch (there's the understatment of the week), what colors will we want our stripped Circus tent to be? Or do we want stripped? Maybe we want checked. That way when we travel, if we have to ship out tent if can truly be checked baggage.

Lon, I can't take credit for the graphics. I didn't design them, just "borrowed" them. Except for the port-o-yourdon, and the flea circus - they're mine all mine!Um, let me get this straight, oh good buddy, oh pal-o-mine...you are askin' me to take over the job of "the one who cleans elephant by- products from the midway and other public areas"?? Well my friend, the only thing I know about elephants is; I always wanted to own one! So, not having much experience at the job, I doubt that I would be qualified. As you can see from my little buddies below, I am more suited for the job of Flea Trainer. These guys are raring to go!
For now Lon, it looks like you're mired in the elephant doings! :-^ Bobbi (Flea Trainer Extraordinaire) buzzbyte.com

(Who loves you, Lon???? :*) )Besides her maavelous flea circus, I'm thinking we should put Bobbi in charge of PR....How'd you like the publicist job, Bobbi?

And as for the other duty we've been discussin'; well, I'm getting a US Gomment grant to provide critical training, utilizing the equipment and implements associated with the processing/recycling of elephuntine by-products. I had my cuz, Dezrelle DuBois, who works at the unemployment office here in G-O-T-B, to write the askin' papers for me.
