And this was in the news today - oh, this thread is very much at the CUTTING-EDGE!!!

This is old ODDITORIUM territory, I know - but where there are dead horses to be flogged - there's us... :evil:

Here is the place, with a little history:

And, the good (but NOT funny) Reverend:

"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread..."

And prepare yourselves for the CONGREGATION(possibly):

"Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know,

to love what I ought to love,

to praise what delights Thee most,

to value what is precious in Thy sight,

to hate what is offensive to Thee..."

ROLL UP, ROLL UP - It's my 200th post, and I'm posting it here (naturally). We (I think that's me and you, penny... and maybe irenistiQ) are going to go back to the OLD SCHOOL...

:evil: CIRCUS FREAKS :evil:

It was part of my original remit, to indulge this interest of mine. The smell of the sawdust and the eerie sound of the carnival tunes... There's something delightfully SINISTER about the circus - and it's this legacy I want to explore.

Perhaps we should start here, with the most famous "FREAKS" of all:

Chang & Eng Bunker. The term siamese twins comes from them, having hailed from Siam (now Thailand). They drew the attention of PT Barnum - the famed circus impresario - who made them U.S citizens and had them as the star-billing on his tour.

Chang died in 1874, and Eng followed a few hours later - apparently from FRIGHT...

And here is Barnum, with another of his famous stars: Tom Thumb THE WORLD'S SMALLEST MAN

Barnum was responsible for many of the Carnival FREAKSHOW archetypes we know of today. As well as the HOKUM and SHYSTER tactics that go along with it...

Like these promotional posters:

"A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE"

But there were some GENUINE acts that drew in the crowds:

Frank Bornhofer and his Beard Of Bees

Dolly Dimple - the most famous Fat Lady

Frank Richards, the amazing Cannonball Man

Caroline Crachami The Celebrated Sicilian Dwarf - Infact the first recorded case of Primordial Dwarfism.

And GENUINE "Freaks", that are still celebrated today(albeit in a far more politically correct fashion):

LIONEL, The Dog-Faced Boy

Johnny Eck, Half-a-Man

Boz, the Pony-Boy

And the famous Grady Stiles, the Lobster-Boy (He was convicted of killing his daughter's fiance, but never went to prison because they were unable to cope with his condition - and was later himself murdered, allegedly by a hitman hired by his family because he was such an immensely dislikable person!)

Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy this peculiar corner of Bellazon...
