This is the very first thing I ever wrote for the Internet, way back in 2002 or thereabouts. It was published by my good friend Ed Thorpe in his ezine.

I wrote it then to get people to sign up for MY new ezine which was called "Geeks, Freaks and Bamboozles Free Gazette" back then. Heck of a handle, huh?

Anyway, I'm publishing it here again today to get you to sign up for our NEW ezine "Cuttin' Jackpots". You can do that right up there in the top right corner of the page. Go ahead, you'll make my day :)

Is the Internet the World's Largest Midway?

Why do I call the Internet the "World's Largest Midway"? I spent 16 years in the carnival business and I was pretty successful at it. If you've ever been to the fair, you might relate to some of my reasons.
