No,,but please understand we don't understand all that you say......we also have our on site lingo, for the reasons given above, but we don't use it anywhere else! OK not ment as an offence, just the way it is over here.
Example,,, the Romanies here speak in their own tongue among themselves but in public never. The give away to who they are in public would give them grief they could well do without. |

Ken...What do you not understand about my posts?...I am not hiding anything...Folks on shows do not speak in tongues anymore...Hell its all new people now...If I have to explain what a Front is I will..I already explained it to Doug...A Front is a 'Promotion" not just a Bannerline...Short for Front-End...You know, If folks want to learn, Why do they want to complicate things...Or do I have simplify my way of speaking? Hell, this the way I talk, If one doesn't understand ASK...I am not offended,, If I need a translation from you..I'll ASK....I came here to learn and share Info...Already by looking at the threads today it seems A Show guy like me isn't welcome...I guess I'm not cuddly enough...Sorry 30+ years on the road does that.....

Rubbish 30 years on the road would make you more understanding. I find it hard to understand certain verbals that's all just the same as some of our show talk over here would be odd to you. For that reason I try not to use it on here.
I know very little about the US show folk so forgive my ignorance,,,its not intended to offend. To ask all the time would be stupid and a waste of time and I can tell from your posts you know your biz,,,,and your playing it,,ok. You would be most welcome on my lot even if you are a wetty (Junior) Ive been on the road over 40 years. Suprised Doug didn`t know what a front was,,,,but I bet he knows what a Higley is! If you feel threats from me Ill cut you lose,,,ok, no problem. |

Ken I don't feel threats from you...hell I think you are very Sharp (Loved your Royalty Deal)...More Understanding? I understand clearly!! Did you NOT read my reply tp HANDI(Chris)? When I started, NOBODY would tell me ANYTHING! Ask anyone...I share knowledge FREELY cause I remember How I longed for it and No one would speak...Now, We have forums and I want to help folks get info (and them help me) without a price tag! Don't cut me loose...Speak...and I'll listen..and if you don't understand me...I'll explain....

Geez..Since I'm talking and writing to 'regular' people for so long, the word 'Front' is what's used for Flash so they understand...I'm just used to that.
The vast majority of those on the forum are not hardened carneys. Sorry I didn't pick up on the nuance since your with it. Rusty.

I understand of course. Like I said I (as in ME) am RUSTY. It's been a bunch of years since I was on the Circus lot except in the seats lately when the red unit comes to town. When I was writing for Circus Report, I would heve been more aware.
No one is saying you speak to decieve...where you coming up with this stuff? BTW: I wrote a simple book about Theme Park Dark Rides and Flea Market How-To Notes and I make stuff. I don't presume to be an expert on the Carnival Midway. Not my gig.

I don't know why you feel belittling me, and even my work or being patronizing is the way to go...now it's attacking in other threads. I'll politly ask for you not to, whatever the reason.

Doug, I am not Belittleing you, as I explained, I came here for Info, factual Info, You made a claim that your Zid-bit set records at $200 a clip...me being a Showman was intriqued, I asked questions, I got answers, Then you put ME on the spot by claiming I wasn't giving Ken his do. I then reiteirerated That I thought Ken did something amazing..Now, I am being bombarded by others saying I speak in codes and am here to undermine you..NOTHING could be further from the truth, All along I left you a out(a way to defuse the situation, see my "To All" thread)...Yet you continue to Keep bringing this up!...I thought you were a Showman...In other words "I gave you Out...Return the favor"...I am NOT attacking you in other Threads, Just simply stating MY OPINION when confronted...So I will politely ask YOU to Back-off on me...So that we can continue to move on to other more productive Topics...Sincerely James Zajicek Curator BCS

Regarding your 'Out'...I posted one which simply said 'Agreed'. For whatever reason it didn't 'take'.
There are rarely, if any, confrontations in this section of the Café so I don't think others were 'confronting' you in an aggressive way. We all respect each other's worths and contributions your's included.
