What's A Bigger Cliche: "I Hate Mimes!" Or "I'm Scared Of Clowns!"

I've tried to make do with getting really really stoned and watching Hardly Working. Where Jerry plays, yes, a clown. (But it isn't much of a substitute.)

Of *course* you did

I am a clown. I went to clown classes - my clown name is Mendacity. i have not "clowned" in many years - but still, i feel that you must all know the truth - I AM A CLOWN.

hahaha

oops

somebody take this vodka away from me b4 things get out of hand

When I was very little, a friend convinced me that clowns were born the way they are. Eventually he got me round to the fact they are made in a factory.

This is part of the reason I find them sinister. I always think they must be very sad creatures, doomed from birth to exist as clowns, never to feel the true warmth and love of a family and relying on public self-harm in order to get laughs - the only type of appreciation they have ever received.

I just need to add, best ILX question in MONTHS.

I am scared witless of clowns, and masks too, so those pierrot masks give me the screaming abdabs.

Madchen to thread (and Jonnie I think - who is also a little petrified of clowns) to verify my screaming like a girl and running away when I spotted a clown stacking shelves in Sainsbury's once
