Every night is a new set of challenges. Take last night for example. We had 75 people at Derek's Circus of Value, and I was putting on a pretty good show. It was during the lion training bit, and I had my head in this beast's mouth. Out of nowhere, this little girl came up to me and wanted a balloon animal! She wanted a poodle, and everyone knows those are the most difficult to do. So there I am, head covered in lion saliva, holding the whip with my foot, gun in one hand, making a balloon poodle in the other. To make a long story short, the balloon popped, spooking Simba, who mauled the girl and almost took my head off in the process. The good news is that after a five-minute break, I was able to come back for the Strongest Man in the World and Bearded Lady segments. The crowd loves those, and darnit, I do love the crowd.
