It was a normal Friday before the "big" show at the TD RETHUGLITEACON BIG TOP CIRCUS.

Ferrellj, usually the first act to appear under the Big Top, had just finished his famous FOXOPHILED spin act with plates filled with tea party rhetoric in the air to thunderous applause from the crowd.

The next act in line for this part of the show would have been one of the most crowd pleasing on the circus line-up:  Crazy Cage and his beloved sidekick: Fox-O-Phil,

Applying her green make-up and mixing a potion in her dressing room was the famous b50m, who performed a "magic" act with "magical" facts and her flying fact finding monkeys.  She would usually make a grand entrance later in the show dressed as a witch and occasionally throw fireballs at the crowd.

Sitting in his private bus, was BetterNu.  He was a veteran of the circuit and would appear only if the crowd DEMANDED it and only for a specified time alotment in the ring and not for one second less.  This was done only in cases where some of the clowns at the circus had made errors in the show and being a stickler for a supurb performance would come to the center ring and read either from a thesaurus or history books.  He always wanted the show to be more educational than entertaining and excelled at his craft.

Waiting in the wings, usually passing around something to get them ready to make a "splash" in the center ring was a rag tag group known as ROCKY'S RANGERS.

The group was not very large and really had no leader but had been dubbed this because of the one who antagonized the circus the most:  Rocky.

Rocky used humor in his act and had often caused some of the other performers in the center ring to threaten to quit or have him banned from the circus due to his juvenile behaviour and the scatalogical jokes that he used in his act.

Some of the performers really hated him, some just tolerated him, but a few got his sense of humor and learned to like him,

Rocky liked everybody.

THEN IT HAPPENED:

Right as crazy Cage was entering the ring with Fox-O-Phil, the ground at the Big Top started to shake.

At first the audience thought it was part of Cage's act as he had been known to claim to move "heaven and earth" to give a good show.

All of a sudden the lights under the BIG TOP went out.

Sensing danger, b50m drank her potion and was able to levitate above the crowd and to safety.  The flying monkeys were not so lucky.

Just then a flood of cyber jargon filled the BIG TOP and wiped out the tent!

The audience, who were composed mainly of those labeled FOXOPHILES and TEABAGGERS, panicked and as the cyber jargon approached many were left to be swept into the abyss of the cyber here after.

When the cyber tsunami cleared, all that was left of the Big Top was a performer that had got on the bus somewhere near Tuscaloosa and rode with the group,

The FAMOUS TENT was gone and there were many casualty's amongst the FOXOPHILES AND TEABAGGERS.

Thanks to his ability to hold his breath in for long periods of time, Rocky survived.

As did Cage the Elephant who was known to be able to "get loose" and out live practically anything.  His side kick, FOX-O-PHIL has not been seen and is feared dead.

As for the rest of the circus?  Who knows.

Maybe they are performing in other tents now.  Maybe they didn't survive the horrible cyber tsunami of 2011 at the Big Top Circus.

Some say the circus will perform under a new banner, others say it died on April 22, 2011.

Whether it comes back or not, it will never be the same.

It was one H*LL OF A SHOW, THE TD RETHUGLITEACON BIG TOP CIRCUS, and if you are reading this for the first time, it is a shame you missed it.
