THE CIRCUS--peta strikes again!![views:978][posts:7]__________________________________________ [May 4,2006 10:04am - thedeparted nli ""] ok so i took my girlfriend to the opening night of the circus last night in providence. we had a shitty dinner at Blakes Tavern, never eat there. anyway, we walk over to the dunkin donuts center. little kids are everywhere. peta was standing out front with picket signs, "LION KILLERS" and some stupid ass clown dressed like an abused elephant limping around. one of the protesters came up to me and was like "if youre going inside maybe you should take one of these..." and hands me a flyer. i was like "are you serious, youre scaring the kids, grow up" and threw it back in her face. the funny thing was, there wasnt even a lion at the circus. anyway, that was my stupid story for the day. |

When I was living in Central Square a few years ago I used to go drinking at the Cambridgeport Saloon. One night I went there while the circus happened to be in town. There were a bunch of circus workers drinking there. Not performers, the guys who clean up and do all the dirty work. Those guys like to get FUCKED UP. I hung out with a few of them. We ended up splitting an 8-ball. They told me all kinds of fucked up stories of how the animals would be treated. If anyone from peta had overheard they would've been horrified. I wish I could remember them better but that period of my life is total blur. |

| __________________________________________ [May 4,2006 11:32am - davefromthegrave ""] the circus is serious business, after all. lol |
| _____________________________________ [May 4,2006 11:36am - thedeparted ""] yeah absolutely. i got a picture taken with a clown, ill post it once i get them developed. hah one guy got run over by a jeep, and there was a kitten that pushed a miniture shopping cart around. it was trippy |
