I think we talked about this before on the forum. I don't like clowns, and even as a child I was afraid of clowns. Here's more thoughts on the subject. Do you like clowns??http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/The-History-of-Scary-Clowns-217771511.html

I love all the old forms of live theatre - acrobats, clowns, circuses, puppets including Punch and Judy and pantomime. I think they are the foundation for all later forms of mass entertainment. Politically correct they aren't but their earthiness is wonderfully entertaining.

Coulrophobia is a very real thing for its sufferers.

Clarabell on Howdy Dowdy was a nice clown. SeaBreeze, all he did was toot his horn. Nothing to fear here. :notfair:

I've always liked clowns, especially rodeo clowns. Looking at Phil's picture could change that.
Come to think of it I would love to see Phil in that outfit in the arena with the bulls.

See that bottle and that box? Harmless fun, right?
Uh-uhn. The bottle contains anthrax spores - the box is full of C3 in case the anthrax doesn't deploy.
He knew what he was doing.

That Guy....Your picture reminds me at Fort Dix, NJ, our platoon was on a deuce and a half, going out to play war games. The Army had a couple of piper cub planes dropping little flour sacks representing bombs. You guessed it. We took a direct hit before we could get off truck and we all looked like your picture.

Glad it was only flour, Pappy. When I was a kid, we used to put a little flour in a balloon, fill it with helium and watch as it rose and popped in a puff of "smoke".

I don't remember the name but it was scary. I think it ended that the clowns were et's and their tent turned into a spaceship.
I remember Clarabell on Howdy Doody Pappy, he was okay, but then again, he was just inside the television.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space - (1988) - it's a classic! Tons of inventive killings! Cotton-candy cocoons! Acid pies!
