How the Hell can you have a circus without rings?

Buckles I swear you get better looking every year. I don't remember you being such a hunk. This is your Omar Sherif look. Like in Dr Zavago.

Answer - - simply by staging one.

The general public does not expect rings. Why should they? What you see on RBBB Blue is a format that can can be used by an ice show or a circus. There are no rings in ice shows and the public does not appreciate the difference.

Believe me, the circus of old is like me - -old as hell and not coming back

No! No! A day will come when, like the Phoenix, the Greatest Show on Earth will arise from it's ashes!.
A demograpic consultant will no longer dictate it's size and grandeur.
A brilliant director will be allowed to create the productions unadvised and unmolested.
And more artists, clowns, show girls and animals will again grace it's three rings and two stages clad in opulent wardrobe.
At a grand ceremony, it's title will be returned and the original founders may rest in peace.

Oh yes the public expects to see a ring, and also expect to see s pretty girl standing on the back of a big white horse as it circles that ring. All great art depicting the circus has that as an identity and the Gen. public that saw the movies Toby Tyler and Jumbo and still do rent them as childrens entertainment refer exactly to that ring that identifies the circus. I am surprised that any learned historian of the circus would make a claim that is not a fact and respect that opinion. I hope that that opinion does not catch on. Perish the thought.

After all the moose controversy lately, I was quite disappointed that no one commented on my "Bullwinkle", "Boris" and "Natasha" shirt

I thought it was your tie. Perhaps a gift from your grandchildren and did not want to hurt their feelings. That sounds good to me for an excuse.
