Have you ever worked in a carnival funfair?

I did a number of years ago but it led to the end of my marriage.

I was a clown who fell in love with the bearded lady. our eyes met across the crowded stable. She was in her cage, covered in shaving foam and straw and me in my clown paint, it was love at first sight.

our first date was at a home for abandoned puppies, we adopted 4 that day, an instant family and i felt like Madonna with decent makeup.

The ringmaster fancied my wife like a horny giraffe and made a story that i had cheated with the midget lion tamer, who was a midget after the lion had eaten her legs during practice last year.

my darling wolflady believed the story because i had a tear painted on my cheek.

i had to run away from the circus to live with my parents.

i have a new job as a street sweeper, it's a rubbish job but you pick it up as you go along.

i am currently taking the circus to an industrial tribunial for funfair dismissal.

have you ever had a sad circus experience?


funfair

I am inspired by the story of the midget lion tamer.

I worked as a carnie when I was between jobs with the rebels and I needed to earn extra money so that I coul keep my droids properly maintained.

I met a lovely woman, Claudia, who was a tamer of rabid Ewoks. Unfortunately, dear Claudia became somewhat emotionally attached with one of the Ewoks, who tricked her and ate off one of her legs before I discovered what was happening and destroyed the Ewok with a shot from my blaster.

Poor Claudia. She changed her name to Ilene.

i thought she might of changed her name to heather mills.

This is a pretty complicated story and I would be inclined to think that you have the imagination to be a writer. I don't particularly care for carnivals.

i feel like you have complimented me in some way.

thank you.

I haven't ever been part of the circus, but I imagine I'd do quite well as the fat lady!


myLot reputation of 96/100. cute_as_a_button (102)  3 years ago

you do not look fat in your avatar,but you do look like you have a serious case of jaundice.


chickeatabandana (23)  3 years ago

That was in my younger, more active days. Since I don't dance about anymore singing songs about fruit, I have lost my figure.


myLot reputation of 96/100. cute_as_a_button (102)  3 years ago

you look curvy to me.


chickeatabandana (23)  3 years ago

It's an old picture. :(

But, thanks! :)

Thanks to the Curvy comment, not the Jaundice comment. :-p
