What act will you sign up to do and what act do you not want to do.
Me,
I’d like to be a trapeze artist. I’m afraid of heights so that may be a problem.
There are two acts I wouldn’t do.
Clown (obviously, although the idea of traumatizing children has a certain appeal)
Drive the motorcycle in that steel ball. Man I’d be puking in seconds.
Who want’s to run away and join the circus?
Circus gig, huh? Maybe a magician’s assistant. Do circuses have them? I’ve never been to one (big prob with the cruelty to animals thing…). I could be sawed in half, or disappear (hang out under the stage smoking a doobie or something, I’m sure). Or I could be the person who stuffs doves into the sleeves of the magician before the show.
I’ll join up as another trapeze artist. Been there, done the knee hang (hock style), got the photo to prove it!
My brothers and I were at Club Med, they had a trapeze rig, and the guests who got their tricks down were invited to join the trapeze show. My next year there, I went into the show.
Nothing’s quite as good on a fear of heights or of falling as the adrenaline rush of a well-done trapeze trick.
Sure, I’m game! Lesse…ok, I’ll be the guy who uses a Hilti gun to nail barbed wire to his genitals, ties the barbed wire to a couple of bowling balls, and smacks them up and down like a set of Kerbangers, 'k?
I mean, unless someone else already called dibs on that one.
I’d also like to be the knife thrower.
Are there any lady dopers who are willing to wear a heavily sequined, yet very revealing leotard and let me thrown knives at them?
