So I spent all day yesterday cleaning my house and only got half the damn house clean. Afterwards however, fRED D. and I met up with cHERRY,the pENGUIN, and one of the pENGUIN's daughters to go to the Great European Circus, which was performing for "one night only" in Chalmette. fRED D. and I expected the worst so we steeled ourselves with a tRAVELLING J on the ride there. We met the ladies there and set forth into the worst circus ever imagined. My initial impression of the production was that it was strangely eerie. It gave me the feeling of one of those horror movies like Something Wicked This Way Comes, (You know the ones where the circus is cheap and rundown and the people who run it are all seriously depraved freaks that fornicate with the animals and each other, or they are really souless denziens of evil, sent out to capture the pure souls of children for their dark lord). Further into the production however, I realized that they were more along the normal everyday degenerates, who had no spirit for what they were doing nor any respect for themselves or the animals they used in their act. They kept their monkeys in cages that had only enough room to fit them in. This was also true for the two massive pythons they had. Furthermore, when they brought out one of the monkey performers, it was obvious that he was irate and had no love for his two "trainers" that were in the ring with him. Amongst the many disturbing points in this particular act, the sommersaults were the worst. The woman they had leading the monkey's performance ordered him to sommersault, which he did. However, when he did not want to do anymore, she had him jump and then would yank his leash backwards so that he was forced to sommersault by his throat. Needless to say I was a bit disturbed (Yes fuck all you hunting, fur-wearing, animal killers. May you all burn in hell. Now I'm going to Outback for a steak).
After the performance, we all decided to go to Burger King. After ordering, we all sat in the play area so that the pENGUIN's daughter could frolic in the tower of nets and tubes. Halfway through our meal though, the pENGUIN jumps up and starts freaking out. Her daughter had obviously climbed to the top of the structure and found a hole in the netting that I could have probably crawled through, let alone a 4 year old child. When the pENGUIN and Fred D. went into the stucture to get her, they discovered that certain cells of the thing had had shit splattered and smeared upon their walls. This all resulted in the cops being called and a medium amount of drama.
All of this was odd, because going into Chalemette, fRED D. and I were discussing why you always hear how shitty Chalemette is.
