Jeff, carnies have way less teeth than that, and somebody should be missing an eye, or a limb or two. The Dio shirt was right on. <P>Carnies are the modern day pirate. They have eyepatches, hooks, peglegs, scraggly beards, faded tatoos, scurvy, and they go "ARRRRRR!".<P>Plus, they run the big swinging pirate ship thingy!<P>Their plunder is to get rednecks to spend $75 dollars trying to win a Def Leppard mirror or a pink feathery roach clip for their girlfriend by attempting to throw a basketball through a hoop that is smaller than the ball.<P>However, if you have a hankerin' for mind altering substances made out of Draino, battery acid, ammonia, and Sudafed, then the carnie is your best friend.<P>Otherwise, be afraid. Be very afraid.<P>
