The first thing we heard was a clown announcing "HELLO! I'M LARRY!"
Larry Clark of the Alley is the "Clown College" Preshow host....last tour it was "Hello______(fill in the city) I'm Leo".....I see an L theme here
AC
And be glad you got the floss for $12, by the time it gets to NYC it'll be up to $15 for a few weeks!
AC
Well the floss does come with that fine head gear -- a bargain at any price.
On this fine day when the University of Florida will likely win the National Title, lowly residents of Oklahoma might just wish they had such fine head gear to their curses a little more hex power. (In the event that the Sooners should actually win, it must pointed out that Coach Stoops cut his title teeth under Steve Spurrier at Gainesville.)
Ben
Sure hope Feld Entertainment
comped you those elegant seats
Chic
This one's a no brainer.
Having already paid $48 for floss and with pop corn, Cokes and garbage on the way, I would gladly have picked up the tab on the seats if the concessions were free.
This years Bello wigs?
Yikes! I have pissed off Buckles!!!!
I am sorry!
Mr Woodcock,
I have been a fan of yours since I was just a kid.
Having seen you on many a show, I have only gotten to shake you hand once, when you came down to help the show after the blue derailment in 94.
As a daily reader to your site, I am looking forward to your review of the show, because I do respect your opinions!
Larry
Preshow host and Clown on the 139th of Ringling Bros.
This reminds me of Mike Naughton's story of the time he was announcing a show and an old performer constantly complained about the announcements.
Finally getting fed up he replied, "Sir, I have admired your work for years.....I even remember you on the Ed Sullivan Show!.....
Touche! Larry, I have been rightfully put in my place in a like manner.
Hope you have a great season.
Having had the pleasure of working for Mr. Naughton over the years I can say that he does not need to take any advice from anyone on announcing.
I am writing this anyonymously because I do not want to appear patronizing or kissing up.
His announcing and beautiful wardrobe are first-class and I always looking forward to working with him. Mr. Naughton told me that story and the name of the performer and I can only say that the performer finally was taken down a notch or two. It was priceless, I wish I was there when he said it.
Anonymous,
Remember, if you call Mike and tell him you left the comment, it is still "sucking up",,lol
Ben, Yes Stoops cut his "Title Teeth with "The Ole Ball Coach" after 1st learning winning Football under Hayden Fry (Iowa) and Bill Snyder (Kansas State)...Urban Meyer and the Gators should/will open a can of Whoop-ass on OU...However..Just in case in the Future I need a job at Carson and Barnes...Please inform Geary Byrd that The Curator said "Go Sooners!!".....
Let's see, with increase in the price to deliver the sugar, it probably cost 10 cents for the sugar, 25 cents for the spinner person and the guy selling it probably gets a cut as well as the facility. I can see that the show probably only gets about $7 per hat of spun sugar.
Wish that I could get that kind of return.
Bob Kitto
Jim,
I am a loyal Gator alum, however should OU win I'm more than willing to proclaim their greatest to anybody in Hugo and alibi the SEC. If Florida wins what's still a tie game in the 4th Quarter I will be more than pleased while allowing that Oklahoma has played much better defense than I ever expected.
Casey,
The next person that asks me for a favor is going to be looked at with a very suspicious eye.
I like this year's hats. Wonder if they considered, given the Harry Potter craze, a wizard for the magician. I was always surprised how many folks would wear floss hats from years past to the show; I think these ought to have appeal. For the vendors, the hats provided clues as to seating areas that hadn't been worked so well.
Dick Flint

The Sooners would have had a better chance if Tebow hadn't been screwed out of his second Heisman Trophy.
That's all the motivation he needed.
Casey,
Sounds like you have been there, done that. Who left the anonymous comment under the Taba picture? LOL
Wade
Conveniently these floss hats are left over from the Disney Live Mickeys Magic Show Tour, just retagged with the GSOE logo.....looks just like the sorcerer's apprentice....not the only thing recycled from that tour either.....Alex was one of the co-stars of the show! AC
Buckles is there a shortage of sugar in the us $12 for fairy floss
what are we doing wrong in Australia Fairy floss here still$3
why would you want to be a performer when you can get $12 for fairy floss think i might try to get my 5 floss machines to the USA
Robert Perry
Australia
Wade,
I don't know who left it. I hope they didn't think they were sucking up by leaving it though,,,LOL
AZUCAR!!
Casey,
I wouldn't think Natalie would look at it as sucking up. More like spousal support, I would think. LOL
