I heard there's an opening in San Diego. They already have a zoo.

Chicago Blackhawks and Bulls will be celebrating.

I always hated the circus. Even walking into Circus Circus.

Boy, I can remember when the Ringling Bros. circus coming to town -- it never came to my town, it came to the city 20 miles down the road -- was a HUGE deal. I only remember getting to go once, but there was always much playground debriefing underway when it was around.

This has been coming a long time, though.

Holy ****. They're coming here next weekend and I've been debating whether to get tickets.

Trump was on it.

 

[dixiehack]

Again implies he had been before. Can you imagine Trump at a circus, eating burnt peanuts and scrunching his face up when the horses plop a load of **** down in the center ring?

 

[Big Circus]

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

No, but I could see him whining to someone to buy him one of those glowing necklaces the whole time.

Is it weird that my wife and I didn't want to take our kids because we worried about the treatment of the animals and didn't want to give them our money, but now that they're closing, I kind of want to go just so my kids can see it once before it's gone and **** to hell with the animals?

You want to **** the animals, or you want to see your kids **** the animals? I'm confused.

Touche. Edited for clarity.

Loved Gunther Gable Williams and the whole show as a kid.

In lieu of flowers, please rub one out to thoughts of the bearded lady.

Barnum and Bailey are pissed off by this thread.

If somebody suggests stayinging at Circus Circus during Vegas trip planning, I get violent.

Zoos depress me and circuses are even worse.
