1. That's all?
You HAVE to tell that story.

Just because.



*scratches head*

Bucko the Clown?

Somebody chose to be called Bucko the Clown? On purpose?

8. Yes, this clown chose to be called Bucko.
I was part of a protest against the animal cruelty of the Shriner Circus. We were quiet, polite protesters with a legal permit. We simply set up a little spot where people could get our literature, if they wanted to. Not in your face at all. Bucko the Clown came out and started berating us. Completely flipping his shit.

On the plus side, Bucko was probably the best thing for our cause. I'm sure he scared many small children away from the circus.

2. I was once chased and bitten by a clown
Though it may have been a rottweiler, come to think.

6. The dog in question knew its business--only nibbled my leg and then left
One of a few times I swear I've seen a dog literally -laugh-. :rofl:

7. I was once flipped off by a clown.
I was going 65 in a 55 zone and he/she/it came whipping around me in their clown car (seriously)swerving like they were going to run me off the road, laying on the horn and waving the one finger salute. I had no idea clowns had so much rage.

10. I got called stupid by a street clown in Paris
I hate clowns and I told him to go away (and I'm sure I said it politely :-D ) He responded that I was STUPID!

11. Not a clown- but one of the defining moments of NoelMN's life was when
he was riding an elephant at the renaissance festival, and another elephant directly in front of his stopped and took an enormous crap. His eyes were indeed saucer-like. He NEVER forgot about it (it was about six years ago). That alone was worth the ticket price, in his estimation.

13. Ah, clowns and I have a checkered history...
There are only two clowns who are somewhat redeemable.

1) Krusty... (He's very open with his problem and has achieved 'Zen')
2) Ronald... (He's the Mother Teresa of Clowns and as the exception proves the rule)

14. I too was assaulted by a clown.

His name was Prickly Pete and he had a cactus for a hat.

I'll never be able to vacation in Arizona, thanks to him.

16. Deep Clown Thoughts, by Jack Handey
To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

18. I would like to sincerely apologize
to anyone on the forum whose father was killed by clowns. I am usually more sensitive than that.
