Formally or in public I will be addressed as America's Living Legend. In private friends may address me as Lord of the hind leg tiger. I am sure John Cooper knows the drill, but for those of you who don't it works like this: If Mary Ann posts a comment on circusnospin, if it is directed at myself she will address it to America's Living Legend. If her and Joe and I are sharing a cup of coffee they can refer to me as Lord of the hind leg tiger. No curtsy is necessary, but proper eye reverence is. That goes for Casey and anybody else. My boys can call me Pop's at any time and they can roll their eyes.
Further more,I couldn't have come up with a more appropriate title myself. Far superior to Lion King, Lord of the Rings, or 20th Century Circus Hero. I would like to thank the "cute name" poster on the History Channel personally, but I don't know who they are. I am under the assumption it was my mother, but until I can confirm that I am not going to swear by it. Anyway, who ever you are thank you, thank you. You showed remarkable animal/circus insight by coming up with those super titles.

America's Living Legend,
I understand the new protocol pretty much, but I have one question concerning "proper eye reverence". Is it limited to humbly lowering one's eyes when in your regal presence? Or is intense eye contact, sultry come-hither looks, etc. permitted, as long as it is done with the proper amount of reverence? Thank you for clarifying.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
The "sultry come-hither look" is exactly what is expected from female subject. Male subjects are expected to humbly lower their eyes, as long as I know what they are looking at once their eyes are down there. LOL
Have you seen the comments on the History Channel in regards to an injured comrade? You defended the tiger pretty good in San Francisco, you better jump to my defense just as quick.
Wade
I suppose we are expected to stare into your eyes intensely as we kiss your.."ring'..LOL..And as for the comments on The History Channel in regards to you, I have tried several times to comment, but maybe the power-in-charge doesn't think I'm "cute or charming" enough.
Margaret,
If that is the case, send them to me, like others do. I keep them, and if they don't post and are relevant, I will post them here. I respect people more then censorship. You have my email address.
Wade
Wade, I may have mentioned in the past that when I first met you on the History Channel, I noticed quite a bit of undeserved hostility unfairly directed at you. I didn't know about the injured comrade until last night, since I don't read the History channel any more. At first I was shocked and surprised, but then not really, since I honestly believe that many other trainers, regardless of their skill, do not have the same rapport with these tigers that you do. Pete's remark on the History Channel was infuriating, and your rebuttal was brilliant. Then were the standard pot-shots taken by the "anonymous" and "cute names", and to top it all off, the censored comments. No wonder I no longer bother.
Margaret, it's terrible to hear that some of your comments were censored on the History Channel, and very unfair.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
In a relatively short time you, from the outside, were intelligent enough to realize "facts to the Circus, is like Kryptonite to Superman." But that unstable foundation has survived for century's, and I am assured will survive for century's more.
Wade
PROCLIMATION
The history of legumes is tied in closely with that of human civilization, appearing early in the Americas where they became a staple, essential for supplementing protein where there was not enough meat. This high protein content makes them desirable.
Legumes are good sources of iron for humans.
Etymology:
French légume, from Latin legumin-, legumen leguminous plant, from legere to gather — more at legend
Legend- Etymology:
Middle English legende, from Anglo-French & Medieval Latin; Anglo-French legende, from Medieval Latin legenda,--one popularly regarded as historical--a person or thing that inspires legends.

Just Jody,
Thank you for the thought, but the Royal House feels America's Living Legend is an adequate title. It's the same thing and it won't be as complicated for the subjects.

You arrogant SOB.....
WHat the hell makes you so sure she wasn't talking about me??????
Casey,
Because she didn't write, America's Living Numbnut's. That's how I knew it wasn't meant for you.
Wade
Wade, Casey, you guys are terrific!!!!! Thank you both for arranging such a wonderful birthday for me.
Mary Ann
Mary Anne - it's your birthday?
Have a wonderful day and many more to come!
What other woman got to have not one, but two court, jesters entertain her?
I am sitting here, just about 5 miles away from Windsor Castle. The flag is flying there, so Her Majsty is in residence. Thus I shall just exercise my privilege as a British citizen, and pop round for a cup of tea, and run this bulldust by Her to see what She thinks. I just hope that Phili is not around to read it.
John.
John,
Get right over there, I understand the old girl is brassed off. If she won't have any of it, and starts to bung tea cups, tell her to budge up, and I'll be over on the first plane because I have a lotta bottle. Phili I am guessing, is having a bit of a a bugger so he won't see anything and Bob's your uncle.
Glad your trip was dog's bollocks, and I should be expecting pictures right, mate.
Wade
Steve,
That's funny, because that's what Herta Cuneo always says about John and myself. LOL
Wade
Happy Late Birthday Greetings Mary Ann....( I'm going to assume that my last comment to Just Jody was lost somewhere in cyber-space )and not trashed-canned by our host....Maybe it was because I didn't use the proper title of A.L.L.
Steve, Margaret, thank you for the birthday greetings. Yes, it was yesterday, and what made it so special is that Wade put us in touch with Casey, whose act was appearing near here, and we enjoyed it immensely. Casey, we wish you much success in your career! Also, Margaret, thank you for the recommendation of "Dark Knight". We saw it Saturday in IMAX, and it was great, and so was Heath Ledger. We were wondering if they give Academy Awards posthumously.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Glad you enjoyed yourselves here. It was a pleasure to meet you and Joe, and if we are ever near again you can bet I will get in touch.
As for you A.L.A (give you three guesses what the last A is for)
I will have you know after the tutelage I received yesterday by your esteemed contemporary, I could probably walk a tiger through the streets of Barcelona on its hind legs, when you open there next spring.LOL
