Each clown has his unique face painted on an egg somewhere in England. Now those eggs will have to be removed from the shelves (or Mrs Peale will be mad).
That’s all right. I’ve got my sweet doggie Tasha in an urn, here. Send me your address and I’ll mail off some ashes for you.
Dan, I’m a heathen and even I know you’re supposed to use ashes from last year’s palm Sunday palms. or RTO made that up. let me know.
Thankfully this one lady at work is really chatty and I couldn’t get a word in edgewise or I would have made a fool of myself today. thing is she comes into the breakroom with a pen in her hand says to someone else… “just a moment I need to wash my hands” and then I notice the big spot on her forehead and i’m thinking, “you need to wash more than your hands, that was one nasty pen explosion”
Thanks for giving my first post here a h/t. I’m horn-honking and making an exaggerated face of delight. I’d hoped to find a clip from Shakes the Clown where the drunken clowns go out mime-bashing, but this will have to suffice.
I am reminded of the Saturday Night Live routine in which a man is driven to murderous rage by a mime’s antics. When the sound of the shot attracts a curious crowd, he tearfully confesses. “I killed a mime!”
I’ll bet he was surprised they didn’t squeak when they were shot.
Sad.
Anyone remember that old Kink’s tune?
My makeup is dry and it clags on my chin
I’m drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin
The lion tamer’s whip doesn’t crack anymore
The lions they won’t fight and the tigers won’t roar
So let’s all drink to the death of a clown
Two of ‘em–it’ll be a sight to see all their buddies getting out of the car at the funeral procession.
I HATE CLOWNS.
The main problem with Gacy was that he only painted clowns . . .
(Oh, dear. This is a very bad start to my Lent. But I really, viscerally do hate clowns.)
A clown dying instantly. Kinda has a Michael Richards feel to it.

They could have been Iranian nuclear scientists.
According to the U.S. intelligence sources, of course.
I feel safer.
If you shoot them in the big red nose they explode instantly. Otherwise they eat you.
Hey, they couldn’t put it in the movie if it wasn’t true…
Alphoo, why don’t you take up painting?
What is that smell in here?
Oh, I see . . .
(I am not doing well on the Lent thing at all.)
Don’t worry, Meg. Greenwald’s people will be over here to make us repent in the morning with a devastating critique of our twisted mentality.
Dan, would it hurt Greenwald’s feelings if I said I was more worried about God and less about Glenn? Good.
(There I go again. Probably b/c I am home barfing with flu and so didn’t get my ashes or get shriven today.)
That’s all right. I’ve got my sweet doggie Tasha in an urn, here. Send me your address and I’ll mail off some ashes for you.
This is awful.
Now if they had been mimes, I’d see the justice in the moment …
And if they had been mimes who taught law at CU Boulder … wow, I probably couldn’t stand it.
Thank God my implanted pacemaker took the bullet! Oooooy, my ribs!
Someone is looking for a good, hard banning. Maybe I’m overreacting a tad, but my limit for stupidity is rapidly dwindling.
Oy, gevalt! I forgot that there is one clown I like!
Cranky, maybe if we shoot stupid commenters right in the big red nose they’ll explode?
Hmmm, why has no one tried this with Ted Kennedy?
(Me & Lent, etc., etc.)
It is definitely worth some experimentation. Plus, I like blowing stuff up.

oh, and I hate clowns. so not funny.
BWAH HA HA HAaaaaaa. okay, there’s an exception.

The community knows.
Mimes.
They’ll get away with it as they always have.
Code of silence.

KASPER THE CLOWN ATTACKS SCHOOLBOY
Is no one safe???
Longer Judi Collins: Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns. Don’t…bother…they’re…right over there in a bloody heap on the floor.
I love that song.
I am reminded of the Saturday Night Live routine in which a man is driven to murderous rage by a mime’s antics. When the sound of the shot attracts a curious crowd, he tearfully confesses. “I killed a mime!”
Everyone bursts into applause.
Could we call this a tragicomedy?
I’d rather be a mummer than a mime.
Yes I would.
If I could.
If a mime falls in the forest
Does anybody care?
