Specifically, that's the slogan of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The show ran for 146 years before it ended in May 2017 due to dwindling attendance figures, changing tastes in family entertainment, and growing public concern about the treatment of captive performing animals. However, the circus is back this year -- minus the animals.

How the hell can you have a circus with NO ANIMALS?

Have you met people? Trapeze artists and (shudders) clowns.

Trying to get it straight:

The circus is the Greatest Show on Earth.
The Calgary Stampede is the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.
And the College World Series is the Greatest Show on Dirt!

Don’t forget the St. Louis Rams, the Greatest Show on Turf!

There are plenty of circus acts that don't involve animals.

How is it that it's a miscarriage of justice and the system is rigged when your guy gets indicted on 34 counts, but justice is served and lock him up when the other one is indicted on three?

Surely you've heard of Cirque du Soleil? They've never used animals in their performances.

Can't say I've heard of either one of them.

No doubt.

I don't do circuses.

I got dragged to the circus once or twice when I was little. It bored the crap out of me. The only thing more boring than the circus were those stupid ice shows.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I didn't care much about the circus either. It's just not my bag.

I do love a good rodeo though. Especially the Calgary Stampede.

Made my day.

It's an acquired taste for sure.

I like barrel racing and reining, but I'm not a fan of most of the other events.

Criminal Minds has always been dark, demented and sadistic with all the different ways they torture, abuse and murder people, yet there are people who have been watching it for 17 seasons who are most upset about the bad language now that's on Paramount+?

It's always interesting to find the pearls to grab on to.

I'm in love with Penelope Garcia.

But who isnt?

At least before the swine.

Don’t forget the St. Louis Rams

Tne Rams did.

srsly, I know I've always been a geek for new stadiums, but this one went too far. The Rams said, build us a new stadium or we bolt. So St. Louis built them a new stadium. The Rams moved anyway.

I don't know who this is...so I'm not?

She's the computer/techno-geek on Criminal Minds.

Ah. Been like ten years since I've watched the show after some unsettling episodes. So, I'm good.
