It truly amazing that a top, in this condition could be raised.

Chic Silber said...


This must be 1 helluva big top

to get in the air & impossible

to rag out or to spool

Nothing happens until a ticket is sold.

No people in the seats means no money for a new tent.

Call the marketing team for Marvel Universe LIVE! They know how to sell tickets.
(That's a compliment not a snarky remark.)

I noticed the 'skinny" elephant before I noticed the "top!" Definitely a lean year!

Of all people Mike you can't

have missed the point by that

much because as you well know

you can GIVE the tickets away

It's the $15 bags of floss that

would buy the new canvas top

(or the corn or the snow)

I noticed that the poor girl's

backbone was exposed also Cindy

Chic Silber said...


But Mike you are correct about

asses in the seats or there is

nobody to sell stuff to (sorry)

This setting has a bit of a 3rd

world feeling to it

Chic Silber said...


That "Marvel Marketing" group

still follows Allen Bloom's old

lesson plan textbook as it was

Irvin & Allen that built back

what for a while was "TGSOE"

I will forever be grateful to

have been around in those years

And let's include the late Frank Curry as a contributor to that text book.

I tip my ringmaster's hat to anyone who can get $15 for floss with a souvenir hat.

Even though I shake my head back and forth in disbelief, I have am smiling from from ear-to-ear.

Floss prices for the 2015 Yankee Doodle Circus to be determined.
