Jabba 18389 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 I have a love/hate relationship with Clowns. I distinctly remember my dad taking me to a traveling carnival in the early 60s ... small town southern Ontario. Just about as seedy as you can get!! girly shows, freak shows, game hawkers, lurid billboards for rides, gambling, cotton candy, giant hot dogs The big tent with elephants, trapeze artists, horses.... and of course, the f**king clowns! Imagine the steam organ grinding out the ever popular clown theme. The face paint, the painted smiles - jeez they were creepy. At the same time, they put on a good show just as insane as some stuff in "I love Lucy". What is it about these crazy bastards that creep kids out huh?? Sort of like Santa Clause. I say we should do away with 'em and move on. Why do we keep these images around. Am I wrong? - do a google of John Wayne Gacie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest k***na Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Personally, I have been scared of clowns since I was younger. Not so much now, but they sure do creep me out still! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They creep the hell out of me I think that is the reason why I jump in my bed when I go to the bathroom at night. I am scared that they may eat my feet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's got to be something seriously wrong with someone who picks "clown" as a career choice.......seriously....what was their guidance counselor smoking??

datyaddict 2174 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 There's got to be something seriously wrong with someone who picks "clown" as a career choice.......seriously....what was their guidance counselor smoking?? It's a hard job. Way more acrobatics, physical exertion and fine muscle control than funny shoes and flowers that spray water. Penn Jillete went to clown college. So did Steve-O from Jackass.
