Default So, Who knew Flying Giants was Coming?

This is a complete and total surprise to me? I am wondering how many Cirkus guys knew it was coming. I wanted to do a voting type of button to get actual numbers but don't see that option.

So far I am liking the Giants!

I had a feeling something was up too. Biff and Max got real quiet... and the website was buggy, then the video links died, the site was offline several times in the last week or so... there were clues, we just don't have that kind of radar to add things up to this conclusion.

Kudos Max & Biff... you guys are the greatest.

So, where's the rest of the regulars? Showtime, Jay, Toro and the other busy bees?

Wow! What can I say. I thought my start to the New Year was starting a "Yard Sale" already. Then, I read on! What a surprise Biff and Max! Can't wait to get around the whole sight. Thanks so much for letting me be just a small part of this awesome group. I certainly appreciate your HARD WORK and relentless amount of time this must take to do!
My heart is still beating hard thinking the Cirkus was over! I'll get you back at YM 06' . Paybacks are #$!@#! Just jokin. Great Job! Thanks again for all you do!

Best Regards and Have a great 06'!

Seth
