None of those are the exact one I was looking for, but they are definitely the right feel.

YES! I had the old-timey circus imagery associated with it because it cost two bits to get in. Thanks!

Are you sure you don't want to call it a three-ring circus?

You know, him and two other arseholes...

I broke out the turntable last weekend and let the kids play with it listening to our collection of 45s from the 80s. They had no memory of ever seeing a turntable before, and had trouble with the concept of carefully putting the needle at the beginning of the record. They thought you shouldn't need to be so careful and precise.

They were most enthralled with Read-Along Raiders of the Lost Ark. You turn the page at the crack of the bullwhip.

I am working diligently on a project for you, something you've asked for over the years. footfootfoot, griff...xoxoxoBruce and a few others will be interested I reckon. It's a lot of text. and a lot of pictures.
