if you were pushing 40 and generally burned out on everything,

[datasuspect]

would you consider an offer to work with one of the south's biggest regional circuses?

This would basically be working concessions and stuff, like a carny.

i am really tempted.

1. In a heart beat.

2. My mom did it.

Sort of her second career. She led shipboard activities and shore tours. She got to go to China twice.

edit: Oh, circuses. Not cruise lines. My bad. Sorry, Mom. RIP

3. You would get to travel

If you're sick of where you are, it's not a hard choice.

4. A friend of mine did that a long time ago. The fair comes to town

every fall and one fall when it left, so did she. She loved it. She stayed with them for a couple of years. Came back with a camper trailer and lived in it for a while. I wonder how she is doing. Haven't seen her in years.

5. Heck yeah! But that's me.

I've always had a thing for circuses, carnivals, fairs, roadside attractions. But I'd advise being really careful and not assuming it's going to be easy. Rousties can come form a pretty rough cloth and you'd have to hold your own.

6. I can see you doing this datasuspect

It seems to be right up your alley and it would be a good personality fit for you. You may still have all of your original teeth though, and that could be a problem.

7. Run away and join the circus

[Moondog]

8. Sure. It would be a hoot. n/t

[unpossibles]

9. could be fun, and I could hear your pitch now!

"Come see the boy with all of his teeth at the Freak Show Tent!"


This is in the south, right?


I kid, I kid!

10. If it pays enough to live on, why the hell not?

It's probably better than the alternative, right?

11. it sounds fun to me

but, I am weird like that.

12. HEY RUBE!

:rofl:
Gopher it!

13. Most mid-life-crisisers just buy a vette, grow a skullet, and start dating 19 year olds.

Don't ask how I know that.

14. I could never do it because

seeing how those poor animals are (mis)treated in circuses would depress the hell out of me.
