I wander the web like a googlized gypsy seeking definition discovering diverse language play blogs web pages Ideas prankish and myriad mind thoughts evoked searching
So who is sinking in a muck of pretentious hucksters and egotistical carnies masquerading as rockers?
She collaborated with other members of the Ren faire community, or “Rennies” (sort of a cross between hippies and carnies). More than a dozen women modeled for the lavish semi-nude photos
Ren Faire communities of renies.. Somehow this sounds plausible
Half a dozen zine publishers I know of (all but one of whom are women) do the spinning plate routine like expert coke-addled carnies
Basil Exposition: What’s the other thing that scares you?
Austin Powers: Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands
Interested? I am. I go forward discovering
Popular and dense intense
There were only about 5 shops in the entire country of Spain back then and there were a lot of tattoo hungry kids out there. I would join up with the carnies and the gypsy ferias and tour with them, 2 weeks in every town… laying lots of ink on the hot, dusty road!
The desert sun is hot, the road dusty
Reality bites
Information is what I am made up of
Wisdom hides behind the next clump of trees
I expect simple revelations
But instead I find
smoke\ and\ mirrors:
n. Marketing deceptions. The term is mainstream in this general sense. Among hackers it’s strongly associated with bogus demos and crocked benchmarks (see also MIPS, machoflops). “They claim their new box cranks 50 MIPS for under $5000, but didn’t specify the instruction mix — sounds like smoke and mirrors to me.” The phrase, popularized by newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin c.1975, has been said to derive from carnie slang for magic acts and `freak show’ displays that depend on `trompe l’oeil’ effects, but also calls to mind the fierce Aztec god Tezcatlipoca
Deception is not my conception of resurrection
Carnies are the carnivore in carnival
As many others have commented, “geek” came to be associated with carnival acts as the “madman” who concluded his performance with the forcible removal of a chicken’s head by using just his teeth (sometimes a snake was substituted to add variety). The geek aspect was really coined by the carnival (carnie) folks because the poor stiff so was so down on his luck either by alcohol or drugs that he would be willing do the madman bit.
Geeks, we are talking here of carnies not of geeks. Yet geeks and carnies are of a kind. Stories of the wee folk, the Celtic dawn you know.
Check out the Grote Markt webcam, the fair is in town, yes carnies exist here in Europe as well (See Joe Dirt (Deertay) for any references).
Webcam, I’ve been meaning to get one of those.
The best part of this story, unwittingly, is long-time DW character actor Michael Wisher, here playing the most evil of the Inter Minor politicos. He suspects the Carnival of Monsters as being the invasion spearhead of alien spies
So what is sort of music should we be playing here?
Calliopes play here
Calliope (Calliopeia), the “Fair Voiced” and the eldest Muse, is the muse of epic poetry and is seen holding a writing tablet in hand, sometimes seen with a roll of paper or a book, and crowned in gold.
But the kind of music?
Remo helped out with the synth and bass programming. It’s kind of a psychedelic carnie rock song.
They played some of Rinaldo’s old compositions and, after a brief period of rehearsal, recorded a 4-tracks demo.
So you like it this way? The sounds of the verbs and nouns like ferns and dense shrubbery, flowers even
so-called “punk” band. CBS new damn well people were interested in seeing
what this whole “punk” thing was about, and quickly found a marketable band
(the Clash) to cash in on (like any respectable carnie would on his circus
freaks…)
freaks now are we freaks because we are mutants because we are not the same as those that came before us
Are we punks or even geeks
Can we be considered carnal craven in our body lust?
or
Carmy is British slang for hypocritical.
Carny (carney or carnie) is American and Canadian slang for short for carnival; a person who works in a carnival.
Currently, there are not enough Tomatometer critic reviews for Carny to receive a rating. Please check out other Carny articles below
he actually reveals very little in this posthumous volume, which has the enticing yet sleazy feel of a carny con.
Ses Carny Sideshow is one of only a handful of traditional Circus Sideshows & Human Freakshows still operating within the United States
“Ses Carny does some of the most disgusting, gross, graphic things I’ve ever witnessed in my life. I think I’ve been traumatized. He’s welcome back anytime.”
- Ramiro Torres, DJ, Jam’n 94.5 FM
I am not a circus or carnival historian. I am not even an expert. These are the words I use on the midway and what I mean. This is not Carny language. Yes, carnies have their own language. If you go to the freaks page, I’ll give you a clue about that too
Why do I call the Internet the “World’s Largest Midway”? I spent 16 years in the carnival business and I was pretty successful at it
He told them how carny ride operators were often allowed to “keep their shakes,” obtained by manipulating the ride to shake valuables out of riders’ pockets.
The “shakes” would then be stashed in a grease bucket to hide them from anyone who came looking.
If you got carny blood in your veins you’ll travel anywhere to join a carnival, no matter how far
I arrieve at paradise
They’re here, they’re real and they’re alive! Freaks, wonders and human curiosities! We perform continuous admission and we are conveniently located at the world famous Coney Island amusement park. Think about it folks, the ten-in-one circus sideshow is another Coney Island gift to culture along with other Brooklyn beach inventions like the hot dog and the roller coaster
Roswell!? Bah Humbug!
Joe writes: Ha! I live not that far from Roswell and the whole UFO thing is the best carny swindle since PT Barnum (I lived in Bridgeport, CT too the home of PT).
He’s talking UFO talk and he’s in a trance
Chaneling the collective midway of the mind
I find a mere “nook and cranny” in the blogosphere. [Or worse, since they refered to me as XLRQ, I guess that makes me an nkoo or a carnny.]
LAST UPDATE: Kate is now directing her venom at Mr. Baloney by wishing karma
carnny or carnie or carny or karma
I am a seeker of carny knowlege
Is what I find merely a ruse.
Yes, fools gold exactly.
The ‘light’ was just what you’d expect to see if you squeezed your eyeballs.
Yet we were told that Mahatma Ji had just given us rebirth.
It had nothing to do with his careful description.
After all, half these guys couldn’t really speak English.
It was just the Grace.
Through Maharaji’s Grace he supposedly touched us and opened our third eyes.
Not only do I say that’s bullshit.
Apparently, to hear OP explain things, Maharaji does too.
It’s all just new age silliness. Nothing special. A carny show.
But then again, maybe I’m wrong.
How do YOU explain the change from Knolwedge requiring the laying on of hands to it not?
Maybe there is a truth beyond the midway
