Do you like magic?
In addition to being a great pick-up line (How do you think I met my wife?) (Not a true story), “do you like magic” is also a relevant question because we have free tickets to a magic show to give away.
James Galea, the most famous magician in all of Australia, is coming to the Walton Arts Center for a show on Friday, Sept. 16.
Galea is coming off sold-out performances at Hollywood’s legendary Magic Castle and the Flamingo in Las Vegas. He is also known for his “vibrant personality and unique performance style” that “seamlessly fuses comedy and illusion, with off-the-cuff one-liners and unbelievable sleight of hand.”
We’ve got two pair of tickets to give away. Try to win ‘em.
How to enter
James Galea hates rabbits for some reason. Do you hate any animals? Like, I don’t know, War Eagles, Tigers, or Elephants, for example? Leave a comment with the name of the animal you’re not too fond of, and you’re entered. (Bugs count).
What you’ll win
Two randomly selected winners will receive two (2) tickets to James Galea: I Hate Rabbits at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 16 at Walton Arts Center.
A few rules (read ‘em carefully):
- You may enter this specific contest once.
- This contest is open to anyone anywhere except Fayetteville Flyer writers, Walton Arts Center employees, and their immediate family members.
- Contest is open until 12:00 p.m. CST on Friday, Aug. 26
Make sure you leave a valid e-mail address when filling out the comment form since that’s how we’ll contact you if you’ve won. Once we notify the winners, you’ll have 24 hours to respond via email to claim your prize. - You’ll have to provide us with your first and last name (if you win) and then be prepared to show a valid photo ID when picking up your tickets.
Thanks to the Walton Arts Center for sponsoring this contest. For more information about this performance or to purchase tickets, visit waltonartscenter.org.


I don’t like pigs. This isn’t in regards to our University’s venerable mascot. Rather, I once watched two pigs fighting over a dead carp that I had thrown in their pen and it is an image that will, unfortunately, never leave me.
I don’t like chickens
When I was a kid we had a rooster wait on top of or house and attack me as soon as I came out the back door. That stupid rooster lived for seven long years.
Birds…the kind people keep as pets…I always seem to get bitten!
Bees. Technically, anything that can fly and sting.
love dogs, but poodles just don’t count.
I am completely terrified of crickets! I make the really nice guy in the office next to me take the crickets outside any time they venture into my office. If I see a cricket in any room I can’t go in there until the cricket is gone. If someone made cricket repellant I would cover myself in it everyday!
Do vendor sales reps count? If not let’s go with chows.
Elephants, tigers, game cocks, bears, long horns…….especially Long Horns…….
rats…er, on second thought most rodents
humans sometimes
I hate snakes…
I also hate snakes. Hate, hate, hate.
tigers..especially if they;re from LSU…heh heh
snakes…i’m from a country where we don’t have snakes…so i’m not particularly afraid of them, i now i’d just freak out when i do meet one…partly excitement and partly what the what…
snakes and rats.
Mosquitoes. Oh, I know lots of people hate mosquitoes. Millions in Africa alone. I hate mosquitoes because every time I have a “function” or job interview, or a date, a mosquito (Is it the same one? I don’t know!) always seems to bite me on my face. There’s nothing like meeting a potential employer with an eyelid swollen shut! Mosquitoes are evil! Malaria sucks too, I guess… ;-)
FISH. I love swimming, but I spend most of the time thinking that one of Beaver Lake’s prehistoric catfish is going to swim up and eat me. FIsh are only appropriate on a plate or on a wall.
I’m really suspicious of anything with more than 4 legs. Centipedes, for example. What’s up with THAT?!
Frogs….. Without a DOUBT!
3 toed sloths. Ugly SOB’s!
I cannot stand chihuahuas… they are so territorial and bitey.
I hate cats! House cats=creepy!
House centipedes. They are terrifyingly fast and when they get away, you are haunted by the possibility of their return. When I lived in Iowa we called them “Steves” for no good reason – “Saw another Steve today” was never a good thing.
Pandas. They are definitely up to something.
Goats
Stinging insects…I slid down a slope over the home of some ground-nesting bees once as a child and it’s not a fond memory.
Pandas…they’re deceivingly innocent.
A tick is by far the worst animal….ever!
Cats make me cry and take my breath away
totally agree with Kelly on this one. Cats and cat people can both go fly a kite.
Mosquitoes and wasps
snakes…and roaches
Rodents.
Ferrets!
cats.
Mimes.
I was wondering where the things to do section is so I can find out who is playing at the different bars or drink specials tonight and what events are going on tonight in Fayetteville. The last couple of days I could not find that section . I would appreciate if the Fayetteville Flyer could update for the things to do section.
@Storm Chasers – We’re still doing that every weekday morning in the Daily Flyer post. Here’s today’s post for ya. It’s still in the same place on the homepage and can be found in the menu under Arts & Events and under Columns & Features.
Wasps. They’re always after me!
I hate cats. Mostly because I know that they are smarter than me. I want a pet that knows I’m boss.
Spiders!
i’ve got to say wasps, if insects count. i was stung by one a few weeks ago and it was terrible.
Ticks
they creep me out and just thinking about them makes me squirm.
armadillos
Tapeworms & botflies! Gross.
