Hi Buckles

This tremendous thrill show stunt cannon

was taken out of service in Kent England

not long ago due to the unfortunate demise

of the forlorn foolish fortuneless flyer

This was a tragic fatal accident...not a play on words.

As I understand it, the net collapsed before he even got out of the cannon.

Yo Wade...
Y-know in Circus program where it says...
"Due to the Hazardous Nature of Circus performing this program is subject to Change"...

Well, It Changed!!...

on a side note, Hog-Jaw always told me right under that statement it also read...

"Our Clowns are not to be Laughed at!"...

He said cause it hurt their feelings...

Zych,
Now we are quoting Hog Jaw "philosophy???" Why isn't this act that is listed not here? Did something hazardous happen? Kinda. I would have killed the sob if he had stayed around another day.

Clowns are not to be laughed at is a wonderful statement. It has to be annoying to be laughed at when you’re doing serious clowning. Like when you trip while trying to pick up your hat but only sending the hat high into the air as you fall into a forward roll with such might you end up bouncing on your butt and on the third bounce your hat falls out of the sky and lands on your head with such force it blinds you just enough before it takes off your nose. The hours spent doing honing this two second bit, and then trying to get the attention away from the clown in the rabbit suit with the table and hat attached to his butt, you have a right to be annoyed and when the suckers see you pissed off then they will be forced to complement you with laughter. But what do I know.
