Thanks for the nice compliment, Casey.
(Of course 22 years after this photo was taken, the ol' mug has more furrows than a Kansas cornfield in springtime- and I'm perfectly ok with that!)

The lion is Rex. We spent 10 wonderful years together. A truly gentle spirit. He came from Josip Marcan. There has only been one cat out of the dozens I've had over the years who came close to touching my heart as Rex did; a tiger named Obi. Two very special animals. An honor to have known them both.

Pat, was Obie from Struppi's act (trained by Trevor Bale)? If he's the same guy, yes, he was a real sweetheart - quite a talker too.

Ms. White,
"Furrows" included, you still have these three characters beat, hands down. So the results are in....

Gold clown for best looking contestant: Pat White

Gold clown for best looking scenery: Dr. Josip Marcan

Gold clown for most traditional looking liontamer outfit: Larry Allen Dean

Gold clown for having the balls to sport wardrobe from victorias secret: Wade Burck

See Wade, hows that for fairness...
You are all winners at the apples and orange bowl.

Ha. Arigato, Casey. Sounds like you're a good candidate to join Wiseguys Anonymous.. appreciate a good chuckle

HM: Obi was originally Trudy Strong's tiger. He was in her act in Germany. I'm not sure who trained him originally, maybe William Voss? Or Trudy? Don't know. I met Obi when he was nearly 10 years old. We just clicked right off the bat. Rex had been gone for twelve years; it was almost like I had him back, but this time he was in a striped suit!

Casey,
Much appreciated, but have no room on the shelf for participation awards. And I hope all have gained a good understanding of what the MC statement "the best of the best" has come to stand for?????" If so the beating was well worth it. Thanks for playing along, Casey.
