CARNIVORES FANS AND CARNIVAL FOLK BATTLE OVER TITLE OF "CARNIES"
Tempers flared in the parking lot of the Carnivores practice field on Tuesday when a group of irate Carnival employees showed up to protest the fans calling themselves "Carnies." Carnival folk have long held the title of "Carnies," but with this new expansion football team, they may have to share that title with another group of loud, beer drinking people: football fans.
"We're the original "Carnies" and we're gonna keep it that way," stated Billy, a Ferris Wheel operator. Newly converted fans of the Carnivores disagreed. "Hey, nobody has a copyright on 'Carnies,'" said Dan, a self-proclaimed die-hard Carnivores fan. "Besides, what are those freaks gonna do, sue us?"
A group of young tailgaters received the brunt of the Carnival folks' unprovoked aggression when they came under fire by a barrage of ski balls. "I was about to take a bite of my Jumbo Jack when a ski ball blasted it right out of my chubby little fingers," reported one of the distraught victims. "I looked up into the sky and it was littered with incoming projectiles so I took cover under my truck. When they ran out of ski balls they frisbee'd those 'ring toss' rings at us. I thought the attack would never end."
Other altercations were contained before they got out of control, but if Tuesday's string of events is any indicator, this battle over the "Carnies" title is far from being contained.
