The fact that I chose opposite of besson lets me know I'm on the right track in life.

I look at it the other way. I am an intelligent human being, therefore, I know besson will make the opposite choice.

I chose yay - but only under the condition that I am allowed to have with me a high-powered rifle with a decent scope. Someone's got to put food on the table.

If I recall correctly, there was an episode of "Inspector Gadget" that took place at a circus. Scarred me for life.

I voted with the majority. With my current state of emotions I just do not want to be on the losing team.

I have to say I'm surprised this many people like the circus. Never saw the appeal. And that's without the smell.

I've long believed that many posters here are, in fact, circus riff-raff.

The last time I saw a circus I was 10 or so and I thought it was awesome.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I think I was, at best, ambivalent as a child. Sure the show was entertaining, but the atmosphere and stench. No thanks.

The last time I went to the circus we were given these metal flip lights on string.
The audience would swing these things around in the air at the command of the ringleader, safety be damned. Good times.

No, late 70s. I should've mentioned the lights were not running on natural gas.

I think so. Just don't encourage besson.

I think we need a re-write.

I always wanted to be a Chinese Acrobat. But I'm not Chinese. Nor am I extraordinarily flexible.

Dude, when I went to the circus they had these motorcycle dudes that rode the motorcycles in this giant metal ball and on this other rotating metal thing like 100 feet in the air and it was awesome and stuff.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Like precariously swinging gas lanterns around in a crowded canvas tent?

We should have saved the movie title bit until today. It would have gone over better.
