Sorry, was getting my Trump administration comments ready.

 

Anyway, went to the circus in the old Charlotte coliseum when I was about 10.  Busy, that is what I thought.  Stuff going on everywhere.  Hate than any iconic pc of Americana goes away, but it is what it is.  I remember when some of the trains came through our town with all the circus cars also

my stepkids second cousin was the ringmaster a few years ago, he's a magician and they designed the show around his act:

He's a super cool guy, works his ass off and is so nice - had him over for dinner when he was passing through town and he had lots of interesting stories. He literally lived in the circus train caboose for a year.

When I was a kid, not sure if it was B and B, but saw an elephant poop and get crap all over its tail.  As the elephant turned around near the crowd, the poopy tail slapped a man right in the face.  He wiped his face with his daughter shirt.  The whole crowd laughed their asses off.  I'll never forget it.

I also saw it at the old Coliseum when I was a kid. I remember always wanting those light up toys that spin and everything... don't think I ever got one. Ate cotton candy, it turned my poo blue/green.  Good times. Sad to see it go but maybe its for the best with the whole animal thing.  That said, there were plenty of elements to the show that did't rely on the animals. We saw the show a few years back and it seemed a little lackluster maybe skimping on the lighting and prop elements a bit.

Sadly, there's more truth to this than most will realize. It was P. T. Barnum himself who said, "There's a sucker born every minute." And this was made painfully obvious to most rational people in this country in November. 

And, by the way, they had just named their first female ringmaster...

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
