I got circus tickets today.
Me and Mrs bearfan are going to take our 5 year old granddaughter to see Barnum and Bailey at the Erwin Center later this month. It should be fun.

1. Last time I was at a circus, we were verbally assaulted by an irate clown.
I'm sure he scared many children that day for life.

3. Well, we were protesting against the animal cruelty.
We were being very low-key. No signs. We had a legal permit. Basically, we handed out literature to the adults and if the kid wanted something (and only with parental permission) we had stickers and coloring book for the kids. No one gave us any problems and people were generally pretty interested in what we had. So then Bucko the clown comes out yelling that since we never saw the cruelty we had no proof it existed (this circus had documented abuse/legal trouble etc). One of the members said she didn't witness the holocaust but there is proof that it exists. Bucko continues screaming and freaking out. He attempted to grab a box of flyers from us. The cops came over and made him go back inside since we had a permit and were not doing anything to interfere with patrons.
