How many of you had the joy of going to the circus as a kid?



The greatest show on earth.

I have been, but it's been quite some time. I don't even remember anything about it other than having been there. I think the kids would get a kick out of it.

I went to the circus and I saw an elephant poop and it made me throw up. I don't know if I'd call that joy, but it's what I remember the most.

Other than that, I know that I went a few times, and had fun. These are very vague memories. The clearest one, again, is the elephant pooping. Actually, he peed first, and I thought it was weird, because it was more like dumping a bucket. Then the same elephant pooped and it splattered and that was enough to make me throw up. I threw up on the floor and it was all over the floor and we had to move.

Grossed out yet? Good Now you know how I felt when I went to the circus

Grossed out? Yes. But not to the point of being sick.

Must be that I've had to clean up so much poop in my life (having 3 kids, cats, dogs, and in the past --> fish, hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits... ) that I'm just used to it now.

Well, reading about it when you are an adult is certainly different than seeing it when you are eight years old. Last night I watched "Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe" on Netflix and saw 2000 gallons of pig crap rush out of a 6" pipe and I was fine. To say nothing of hanging out at my friend's farm and watching hundreds of black Skittles fall out of a goat's butt. Or sitting in the bed of a pickup truck with the goats while the same thing happens. Or repairing a broken sewer pipe in my crawlspace.

I'm shakin steak and this has been Poop Talk, on Retro-Daze.

When is the next Poop Talk, 'cause it's my favorite show here.

Is that all anyone's going to talk about in this thread? Feces?

Yes.

No.

I've only been to the circus once, and I remember seeing the guy being shot out of the cannon and hearing that loud boom. That's about all I remember from my experience.

I didn't go to the circus until I was an adult. I used to beg my parents as a kid to take me. But they never did.
