GEEK TREBUCHET

Mon, May 14, 2007, 10:41pm (EDT+4) (Lobby*Dosser) doth sayeth: Gee, somebody who remembers! Girlfriend from the 60s wrote a book called 'The Geek'. Was most famous for a front page photo in an 'alternative' newspaper. Naked, pregnant, draped in the flag, and holding an apple pie. Nope, never heard of it. Carnival geek, if you've never seen one in persn, you have't lived. Saw one in '60-'61. Cickens and snakes, both. Definitely millenum hand AND shrimp. From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 (gcide) geek \geek\ (g[=e]k), n. 1. A performer in a carnival, often presented as a wild man, who performs grotesquely disgusting acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken or snake. [PJC] Sorry, I meant someone who remembered carnival geeks. If you'd read the book, it would have been a shocker for me. |
