That old kids game Carnies and Cowboys

Oct 09, 2006 10:16

I must say, there is an odd feeling one gets when walking around a public event with a gun on your hip and a rifle in your arms, I understand the fascination with the American Cowboy and how to this day still inspires a child’s imagination with tales of gunfights, saloon brawls, daring horse tricks and of course hottie saloon girls. However there ( Read more... )

When I started reading I felt I had found a kindred spirit. Now I just find myself wrestling against the compulsion to ask how your weekend went.

"When I started reading I felt I had found a kindred spirit."

More so then you think.

I need to look further into it, perhaps even become a padawan in this field. I can't think of any better to apprentice to then yourself.

The weekend went well, show were good, people were nice food was good and it went relatively incident free except for the Carnies.

Oh and BTW the saloon girl....WoW...pictures are forthcoming.

Name the time and place, got PLENTY of old west type tools. One I KNOW you'd like, but it's a bit of a kicker.

Saloon girl: You'd better stop teasing. 'sides, if there ARE pics I'd prefer them to come from her. But of course I'll take them any way I can.

I will email you and set something up,I quite look forward to it.
Kicker sounds good.

ah, but you forget... angryjonny October 9 2006, 17:40:30 UTC

Your list is comprehensive, but it helps to know all of the weaknesses your enemy might possess.

Consider: The carny diet (according to my Audubon Guide to the North American Carny, at least) consists of cotton candy, fried candy bars, apples (both candy and caramel), funnel cake and- for starch- popcorn. All of these are quick energy foods which means that your average carny won't have much staying power in a fight. Should you be drawn into a carny strap-fight, the best tactic I can advise is to throw a pack of Lucky Strikes as far as you are able and wait for the carny to take off after them. By the 15th step the carny will drop to the ground weezing for Hai Karate-scented air, which is your cue to step in and thin the gene pool a bit

True that is. Know also that any Marlboro product or Newport product will work too, albeit not as fast.

I have also found that yelling out "Your midget is on fire" does a nice job too.

God, I love reading these posts.

"Your midget is on fire" ROTFL!!!!!!

It could save your life one day, although don't say it in a theater.

Hehe... stratfordgal October 9 2006, 20:49:38 UTC

I'm highly amused that a post about carnies and cowboys was composed while listening to Insane Clown Posse - how fitting...

Re: Hehe... morhault October 9 2006, 23:07:14 UTC

Well let's go one step further, some years ago an album was cut entitled "Take a Bite Outta Rhyme, Rock's Tribute to Rap"

On this album you had such bands as Staind doing "Bring the Noise" asnd so forth.
Linky if your interested

The song, Posse on Broadway was done by Sir Mix-Alot back in '87. Pretty funny song too, I thought it was fitting since carnies and clowns don't really get along...at least the hardcore circus folk...which I may add aren't much better then said carnies.

aw, Carnies aren't SOOOO bad... you haven't met the right kinds yet!

but overall this was very amusing... :)

morhault October 11 2006, 17:19:33 UTC

No indeed I have not, although I can't imagine a good carny. You apparently have info I am not privy to.

Think of me as the Carny version of Senator McCarthy.

gogleberry October 11 2006, 23:05:44 UTC

lmao... fun stuff....

I got drunk with some cool Carnie-type folk on my birthday... I even met EEk the Geek from Carny or whatever a few weeks prior to that.

and alas, when I met said Carny folk, there was not a midget in sight! :(
