    The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is Closing.

    I remember going to the circus as a kid. That will be a great loss.

    My mom got my sisters and me each a Baby's First Circus pass when we were born (good for one free ticket, the pass never expires), and I got one for my daughter when she was born, so I've been talking with my mom to see if the five of us girls can go when they come to Atlanta next month. I'd always wanted to go, it makes me sad that unless we can all coordinate a day off, I'll never be able to.

      Can just imagine the SCs - "The pass says it never expires - I want to redeem it for my free ticket, what do you mean I can't get a ticket because the Circus has shut down?". Of course, any gift certificate/card expires if the underlying business ceases to exist. Anyone want to swap a Radio Shack gift card for an Eaton's gift certificate?
      Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

        Radio Shack does still exist.

          That's a good thing, if those circuses still use wild animals (ie elephants and big cats) cuz that is just wrong.
          People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life.

            They stopping using the elephants a few years ago. Now they're trying to find suitable homes for the animals, including the big cats, that are remaining. Not many places can properly care for the big cats.

              There's always Big Cat Rescue in Tampa ... and I believe there's a great elephant rescue in (of all places) Tennessee ...

                The elephants were phased out years ago and are in the elephant rescue. Said elephant rescue is owned and operated by the circus.
