A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....2

[Rufus T. Firefly]

In one of Seth McFarland's Star Wars parodies using the Family Guy cast they crush John William's and have him replaced by Danny Elfman to do the music.

That was hilarious.....

Sounds like fun. Where can I find this?

You can find snippets on Youtube, but to see all of the full episodes I think you'll have to stream it through Hulu or Netflix.

They look deeply, deeply, deeply troubled.
Is there supposed to be humor there?!

There must have been an act of some kind that would make it all clear.
I wonder if that is one of Rufus's clowns being delivered? Or even Rufus?

I'm assuming that baby hanging from its beak is a toy (?)

Well, what other kind of baby does the stork deliver?

Humorous - probably. Clowns, the stork, where do babies come from, the medical profession - hilarity no doubt was in abundance for those that relied upon such traveling shows for their entertainment........

Might be hard to transplant yourself to a time w/o TV, internet, phones, radio in its infancy at best, music still on cylinders, silent movies, and all that was available otherwise were live acts on stages and at the circus.

Not really, not for me. As a boy, I had been to several circuses that encamped near our home on a large tract of land within our suburb that hadn't been built on yet. We kids used to scamper to the site very early-on to see them set-up everything. Seeing the Bigtop, as well as the Sideshows go up was intriguing. They didn't want us there but since the overall site was part of our self-assigned playground , we couldn't be hunted successfully nor stopped. So they gave up and let us run free. I found the whole shebang to be grubby and stupidly vulgar; in particular, the Clowns.

On one particular setting-up occasion of the P.T. Barnum & Bailey show, I was there early during set-up with my mother in-tow. As a carriage carrying a tiger turned in front of us, across our path, at a distance, the contraption fell lover onto its side, releasing the tiger, which stepped out , looking quizzical. As a ten yr old, I immediately stepped in front of my mother, placing myself between her and the tiger, which barely moved at all, though. The animal was quickly surrounded by circus personnel and led away, as they put the carriage upright. We left. Mother never forgot that event as it regarded my actions.

Murph,
I think most kids would have hid behind Mother but I remember that you were an above average size kid.

You are actually at least 1 generation too young, and most likely 2 for my statement to really apply.

Perhaps my height was part of the moment.
