I am just an average guy like to collect old cars, muscle cars mostly. Camaro's, Trans Ams. I played cards in a group and one of my wealthier friends also was in that group. He had a totally original 1959 Corvette restored to showroom condition. He commented that he had enjoyed the car but knew I would appreciate it better and made me A deal that I could not refuse. I tell everyone I won it in a card game.lol So now it is the pride of my collection.

I was always picturing you as an Indian.....like the big Indian in One Flew over the CooCoo's Nest

Now, I am back in the game!

Well.....since my friend, Vegas Bob requested that I again reveal the reason for my handle...here goes.

I was a high-wire aerialist in the Florida State "flying high circus" for four years. Two summers at Callaway Gardens. Along with that, I did a "roller-roller balancing act with a female partner, hand balancing act, perch-poll balance act, Juggling act and played the part of Emmett Kelly's clown persona. I had always admired Emmett's sad clown performances in Ringling Brother' Circus. I did part-time work at festivals and birthday parties as a sad clown....it helped me to get through college along with multiple other part time jobs.

I did work with Ringling at their winter quarters in Sarasota, Fla. Entertaining the tourists in several acts and also clowning. Got to know some circus legends.....they are indeed a rare breed. They live to entertain and feel the applause.....as I certainly did also. I took these skills to New York city in the 60's when I was involved in off-Broadway plays. That was a starving experiences.

As few of you know, I have dressed in a number of identities while rambling through Central America, on ocean cruises and Colorado/ California Ski slopes. Nothing like skiing down the ski slope dressed in a caveman outfit with a blow-up doll strapped to my back. I use to entertain Ch*ldren on Avenue Central and in SJ parks with my clown attire. Hell, have to admit, although I enjoyed making the Ch*ldren laugh.....it was also a way to meet single chica moms.

Well that's said for the last time. It went longer than I wanted but I believe that most people entertain the fantasy of hiding in another persona. It's an escape from the real world of bumps, bruises and some success. Such is the same with a "handle." If a person does not want to reveal their identity.....they can expose their true beliefs, fantasies, turn-ons/ offs and personal experiences without actual retaliation.

Damn, the one identity I could never play is the "invisible man." Now that would be a hoot....especially at the DR, SL or KL. Even sounds like a fantasy topic.

Circus....out

I've been drinking vodka every day for 45 years and I have certainly never found it to be habit forming.

That's an interesting story, Circus.

I'll never forget watching Emmett Kelly perform during the Ringling Bros Circus at Madison Square Garden... that was in 1956 (I think). He was sweeping the floor and looked very sad. Although I was just a K*D at the time, his persona touched me. I felt bad for this poor, old hobo who tried very hard to sweep a spotlight beam into a dustbin.

Yeah, it was around that time that I first saw him perform. The routine with the spotlight was vintage Emmett. I re-enacted that routine a number of times but never equaled his brilliance. Not many people today knew that Emmett began his career in the early 1920's as a trapeze artist. That is how he met his first wife....she was a trapeze performer. Okay, okay...I'm boring the shit out of everyone. Bye.
