To: Dr. Thorne
He's a vicious sideshow barker Dr. Thorne, I really have to take issue with this statement. In Sideshow, there is no such term as "barker" That is reserved for fruit and vegetable vendors. We are considered "talkers" Now there are inside and outside "talkers" Outside "talkers" deliver the "bally", which consists of:

1) Building the tip

2) Turning the tip

3) Clearing the Midway

Inside "talkers" deliver the lecture and set up the tip for more dings, including the "blow-off".

Us folks in the sideshow community are upset at your misguided usage of language. Words mean something sir!

We are professional and the remaining few of us left in America deliver quality entertainment in an educational and mysterious nature.

Signed,

The Professor
