Nah. I'm much more of a "Jimmy Hopper: Best Lounge Act in Vegas" kinda guy.

Now I don't know much about lion and tiger taming, but that sounds like an darwin award recipe for disaster. I dare say Gunther Gable Williams was never mauled by one of his charges.

I dunno about GGW, but maulings happen even in places where the cats aren't expected to do tricks -- zoos, wildlife preserves, etc. I don't blame the cat (and I don't think that it should be killed, paigow) -- it was just acting like a tiger.
That being said, it may well be that Roy ain't the sharpest chunk of cheddar in the cheese drawer, but I still don't think that a guy getting grabbed in the throat and dragged off-stage by a tiger is all that funny.
And, hank, he's recovering? The last news I heard was that he was still critical, and that the doctors were saying that reports that he is "stabilizing" means that he didn't die last night. I surrender on the job losses, though. I'll continue to feel bad about them, but I'll save my FB Outrage (tm) for jokes about the guy with his throat ripped open.
