Sound advice!

The new Ken & Nicole programs arrived yesterday and Joe Frisco was surprised to find that he is introduced as some sort of Technical Advisor.
The only suggestion I offered him last Fall was not to throw away George Carden's phone number.

In an effort to further obscure that are even elephants on the show, titles like: Proboscidea -- Technical Ombudsman -- Mr Joe Frisco, might work. I would also hope that somebody at K&N has trademarked terms like "Operant Theorist" and "Fecal Manager" to avoid nasty words like trainer and groom.

Such wasn't the case. Another party was indicated to be in charge of the elephants.

The mind boggles. Sometimes it's hard to even wonder what goes in to things like that...petty, or politics, or just dumb. My kid found a computer game called Shrine Circus Tycoon. the first thing we noticed that it was missing was a hospitality suite. Still, we wondered if some corporate entertainment enterprises weren't using the game to train managers and "reinvent" the circus.

I mentioned earlier in the season that this would happen. Sure hope the pay is very good. By avoiding the real issues k/n bring attention to what they assume is a libability. Back stabbing at its finest shows you just how uninformed they really are about a real circus and circus performers/animal trainers. You know who is going to get the blame when disaster hits the big arena. I want the title " Head SHIT Disturber"

I belive the term used in my time there was " Sanitary Engineer"
Needless to say GM, and Ford were not as impressed with my Resume.

this is typical of incredible shrinking show!! they even have the promoters choose the animal walk route without conversing with the head animal people!! imagine that....

Ix-Nay folks, I think we have incurred the wrath of the K&N Promotional Staff!

It seems that their promotional dept has lost its teeth
With the impoverished look of the latest editions it seems they must be having trouble collecting a crowd !
Or is Mr. Feld putting all his $$$ into the profit column to make it look better for selling ?
