The headline carries the implication that carnies have a bad reputation. A vicious slander to the Carnie-American community.
Other than these slight indescretions, I imagine Judex J. Colon III is a fine youg man. A worthy heir to the Judex J. Colon line.

LOL! I read "Another setback for CANINE's trying to improve their reputation" and couldn't figure out why licking kids faces was terrible and then just assumed that some complete and absolute b$tch sued some dog for licking icecream off her kids face and THEN I saw Carnies and now I am going to read the article. Awesome!, this story has the potential to make my 11 am hour. :)

(I thought the name of the Canine was "Ghost Pirate")

Here's a little bit better version of the story;

"He added that they probably pushed their cheeks up against his lips and that it may have felt like a kiss to them," Colon is quoted as telling police.
LOL! Nice try! I'm still looking for a picture....

How many excuses does this guy have? I counted three in the article. What a butt plug.

I bet he has small hands, and smells like cabbage.

Human Resources for a traveling carnival - could there be a weirder job? A new adventure every day.
Somehow I think everyone involved in the industry must be a little off.

If he goes to jail, he'd better watch his Colon!
You gonna get raped!

No more fairs for me, ranks right up there with Chucky Cheese in the creepy department.

Reminds me of the cartoon, "Sam & Max Go to the Fair and Shoot a Disgusting Perv Carnie Repeatedly."

No more carnivals for me either. The last time I actually went to a fair and rode a ride, a guy died on the ride right after I got off of it. The ride was one of those whirly twirly swings. His swing came loose and he was sling-shot across the carnival. I saw him flying through the air.
That night, I tasted alcohol for the first time. I was a minor and my cousin felt bad that I had to see a guy die so she bought me a margarita.

kevy, I bet if you googled "small hands" and "cabbage" and "carnies," you'd get the reference.
Also, I'd like to point out that carnies come in at number 3 on the "List of Things I'm Afraid Of." Number 1, of course, is clowns, and number 2 is midgets. As you can imagine, circuses (circi?) and fairs are rather trying for me.

JUST WANTED A LITTLE SUGAR I GUESS..........LMAO

I get sexually aroused when I see clowns, midgets and carnies.

They make midget pornography- no kidding.

Howie,
This was the best part of my Google search (result #4):
No search results found.
We couldn't find any jobs for Carnie (Small hands, Smells like cabbage).
Please check the keyword terms you entered.
You can also try using some other keywords, or enter fewer words to expand your search.
Posted by: steveO | Mar 20, 2008 2:15:02 PM
steveO, apparently you didn't enter the words in right because I did and was amazed at all the information I got. It's an Austin Powers reference. There are even T-Shirts with those words on them!
It's so interesting all the things I learn from OSRR.
Now I'm ready to see AP4.
Posted by: twerp | Mar 20, 2008 2:19:04 PM
The AP reference was in the top three returns - but the lack of jobs available with those keywords on a search engine catch was a killer.

I actually know a carnie...he is missing teeth and shoots up on the job. He gave my son a free ticket to the mirror house where he ran full force into a mirror and fell down. The carnie did nothing but laugh...I had to go in and make sure he was alright. If they drug tested all carnies there wouldn't be any.

But I guess we got off easy with a head bump; at least he didn't try to kiss his boo boo.
Posted by: pawprints | Mar 21, 2008 2:56:28 AM
'...later said he "just kissed them out of habit"...'
Correct me if I'm wrong. But this does explanation doesn't seem to help his cause, does it?
