SIDESHOW Geeks, Freaks and Absurdities

[Killbuck]

Do they still have the dinosaur at Wall Drug?

[dragonpilot]

Wall Drug...last time there was Nov 1996...vaguely remember the dinosaur.

[Scatter42]

Yup - dinosaur is still there doing its same thing. Lights, fog, loud noises about every 15 minutes. Kids (and adult kids) are still sucking up the action and drawn to it like corn dogs to mustard.... Got to personally witness the carnage last summer

For this sideshow spectacle Mr Killbuck I would like to create for you a coconut shy like none other, in essence it will be a digital coconut shy, Audio Visual in nature. Sonic boombox by day - multi-stream video projection by night. Triggered by the mastery of a naked eye and the tumbling of a nut... Each nut with its own distinct character, just like its maker

[Simon of the Playa]

i love the "burner, shave !!" signs along the way.

[nilasnake]

pjaygo...sounds fascinating. yes do it, and it will be welcomed!

[planetaryjaygo]

It will be a pleasure to, all perfectly doable and achievable. One question tho' do they have coconuts out there in Reno ?
And MissNila, I trust you and the snakes will be in full attendance ?

[nilasnake]

yes they are available in reno. yes i'll be there, corndog in hand.

[knowmad]

I had two corn dogs for breakfast. Pretty good day! .`. Corn dogs help you have a good day!

[Simon of the Playa]

a day without corn dogs is a day without, um.....



wait...lemme rephrase that.

[unjonharley]

The band Rubberband has a song "Corn Dog"

[Killbuck]

Yes, we have vast groves of coconuts here in Nevada. The entire Great Basin is one bloody-vast coconut prairie!!!! Except for the small patches of land interspersed here and there where we raise corndogs in factory farming operations.

I look forward to hearing how this fab idea can come to pass!

[unjonharley]

Killuck is the corniest dog of them all..

I foresee many coconut heads on the playa this year..

[Killbuck]

Coconut heads shall roll

[unjonharley]

paper, scissor, coconut, corn dog,

Scissor cuts paper, cocnut breaks scissor, corn dog smears coconut and paper cover the carnage.

[Major Krash]

and when you have had your fill of Corn Dogs, and need a soother for your tummy-ache

[Simon of the Playa]

i kissed his great grand-daughter in 3rd grade at the roller skating party...

Trivia question.... what were the names of Emperor Norton's dogs?

[Simon of the Playa]

i had to ask google....

great names, though....


i have a great affinity for Emperor Norton...first time i read about him, i knew i liked san francisco even more.


the man who bet sam patch wouldnt survive the falls...

[oscillator]

Trivia question.... what were the names of Emperor Norton's dogs?

Bark-o and Robot. What'd I win???

[oscillator]

Oops, got a little too hasty there. Those are the names of my robotic fish.

[Killbuck]

Actually Emperor Norton did not have dogs. it's a trick question.

Most say Bummer and Lazarus... but even tho these two dogs were indeed real and famed SF strays beloved by the city, they were mistakenly associated with Norton, mostly due to cartoons of the period of Norton, that on two occasions put them in the same image.

BUT if he DID have dogs.... what WOULD he have named them??????

[Roberto Dobbisano]

mutt and jeff?

[Killbuck]

Pretty good report so far on camp member ticket success- tho still waiting to hear from a couple peeps. Got a couple new peeps too it seems.

[nilasnake]

well that was nerve- wracking. between being at work with mandatory meetings, not having computer access due to At&T outage, and going home to get my laptop...i ended up pulling over to the side of the road to finish my entry once my turn in the queue came up (2 1/2 hrs later). i need a xanax. well, this glass of wine will have to do.

[unjonharley]

Just now listening to Tears of a Clown..
