How to write real by God Circus History.


Above is Terrell's he/she lion Sheba in 1953, when he/she was still a he, and not a she, and still had a fang. I asked the man putting the Craig Marsh/Ernest Angley healing touch on he/she Sheba, in an effort to arrest a complete mane loss, if he/she Sheba ever did a "kinda backward waltz." Historically he is the most honest man that has ever lived, next to Cherry tree Washington so I don't feel I have to qualify him or his integrity. He looked at me and said, "I don't know what you wild animal trainer types call it, but to me it looked more like a refusal to sit up. I guess maybe, if I was a horse trainer, it might have been a kinda backward waltz." So there you have it, it's in the books, so don't whine Steve Robinson.

Listen Boomer,
Don't be starting one of your backroom waltz's here!!!!! There is not a Buckley chance that I wore "sequined women's underwear." I recall the day vividly,that Don Foote took one look at my bare, ripped and rugged torso with his manly, educated costume designer eye and said, "honey, I am going to design you a number that screams macho. Trust me Mary, it will be very Rambo like, only sparkly, with out the camouflage!!!!!" So no Steve, it didn't take bravery, it took masculinity and testosterone, which I pulled of brilliantly.
It is Mr. Tricky Dicky to you, Pal. He talked the Chinese out of a pair of Panda's in half the time it has taken the city of Toronto to grovel for one. Plus he talked Mao into picking up the check for biscuits and gravy, the morning he flew back to the Colonies.
