The photo above, from the "history channel" caused some heated discussion. LOL It even caused an anonymous mutt to melt down and reach def con 3. It seems if you are a circus owner, you are pretty much hands off, and can do no wrong. That seems real "radical" to me. In the vein of fairness, the photo is included with the photo below, courtesy of David Orr, along with the comments on the hat above. Folks need to lighten up just a bit. LOL

Dave,
You need to have a sister organization, or brother as it were, and maybe call it the Sad Sack "Slum bum" Hat Association for folks who haven't quite got the shaping deal down just right. Let them earn a place in the Chris LeDoux ranks, don't just hand it to them because they have a hat(I am refering specifically to numbnuts Jim Zajicek/Ed Geen. You gotta be kidding me!!!!)

Looks like JRN II's Stetson is in need of a reshaping. It looks like Ty Murray's hat after each time he attempted to ride White Lightning. Ty was unsuccessful five tries, out of 5 attempts. A trip to the hat maker for a blocking and reshaping was the first order of business after he saw the sport doctor and blew the cow sh** out of his nose. LOL

Chic,
Henry's son, John's nephew.

He should be dressed better for
a photo op (family tradition)

Chic,
He's clean, the shirt's clean and the beard is neatly trimmed. I'd say that given today's dress code, he's with it.

I was only "kitting" around Bob
Just thought Buddy would have
liked his son to keep up the
family image
(you are sadly correct about the
dress code of today you should
see the attire in the 1st class
cabins on many airlines)

I think that "Stetson" was made
in Antigua Guatemala Wade
Blocking might destroy it

Gentlememn, I would like to point out Kelly-Miller Circus is A MUD SHOW...Mr. John Ringling North II is a trouper but doesn't live on the JOMAR that is presently parked in Sarasota...The JOMAR that he travels and lives on is a FORD... JOMAR is painted on cab door....We should Thank Mr. North for what he has done for the American Circus...2010 Kelly-Miller Circus is one great circus and anyone that likes circus should see this Fantastic Show....But, you might want to pack your lot shoses just in case it rains...

Yes David we know it's a mud show
So was the show that his father
his uncle and his father's uncles
were on much of their lives
But thanks for the tip
(I've had my turns in the mud)

Chic,
I stand corrected, if it is indeed a Panama.
Dave,
What the H does any of that have to do with whether his hat brim is in need of reshaping? It was indeed a creative patch, none the less. LOL

Addendum to Dave,
I wasn't assuming the greeting "Gentlemen" was directed at me, but I responded anyway.

Come on, fellows, this guy has earned little slack.
Anyone who will leave a castle in (was it Ireland?) to troupe an American mudder is with it and for it.
Nice hat, John!

While you guys are shaping your hats and worrying about his he is out really doing something. Proof that you guys are not to old to still go out and do something. He may be more concerned with achievements in life then his dress code. How far back do you guys have to look to see your achievements besides a nicely shaped hat brim?........LMAO
03 June, 2010 11:02
Since I'm too dumb to quit I am
still "doing it" and not often
worried about my hat brim
I haven't seen anything posted
here that denegrates this man's
achievements so I don't get all
the hoopla and Anony maybe you
could be brave enough to tell
us who is so upset
Most everything I add to this
site is just in jest (often to
get a rise out of folks like you)
