For my next trick OH GOD GET IT OFF OF ME
Roy, of 'Siegfried and Roy', attacked by tiger
|
Quote:
|
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A tiger attacked magician Roy Horn of the duo "Siegfried & Roy" at his throat during a Friday night performance at The Mirage hotel-casino, authorities said.
Horn was taken to University Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition, said hospital spokeswoman Cheryl Persinger.
Firefighters were called to the hotel-casino about 8:45 p.m. and found Horn had been attacked, said Clark County Fire spokesman Bob Leinbach.
The illusionists, who put on one of the most well-known and expensive Las Vegas shows with their signature white tigers and lions, signed a lifetime contract with the Mirage in 2001.
Fishbachler, 64, and 59-year-old Horn have performed together in Las Vegas for more than 30 years. They opened at the Mirage hotel-casino in February 1990.

Forgot what it was.

It's a funny mix of emotions, isn't it? 10% of me says "Oh dear, I hope he recovers without being left looking too mangled", 40% of me says "Daft ****", and the remaining 50% says "What's for breakfast?".

I perfectly saw the sarcasm, though it was still less appropriate than it had been if the tiger idea had bene rather new

The Japanese have no understanding of sarcasm, either. I think you may have discovered a previously unknown prerequisite for fascism.

I didn't have a problem with Sigfried or Roy, why couldn't the tigers have eaten some quack like David Copperfield?
Besides, tigers are so cute and cuddly.
