Oh. My. Fucking. Gawd. I’m gonna go hide under my bed now. I didn’t use to fear clowns, but now I do. ---

Why don’t we send an army of clowns over to find Saddam? Especially that pierced faced tattooed/whatever clown that **mojave** has scarred my brain with. It’s 4am and I am unfortunately awake. Now, after reading this thread, I am suffering from PTCS\*. \*Post Traumatic Clown Syndrome ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by NutWrench \* > \*\*Meet [Ouchy the Clown.](http://www.ouchytheclown.com/prodom.shtml) \*\* I was going to post the same thing! When I first saw him posted here at the SDMB, his name was “Kinko the Clown”. Guess he had to change his name… What kills me is that he is also a 'meeting facilatator". Can you imagine the looks on the people’s faces if you brought him in to mediate a divorce or something?! ---

Someone should find Knockers the Clown to counterbalance all this counter-clown propaganda. I would link to her, but then the mods would step in. ---

Don’t forget to click on the link to the second page. That guy with the rainbow colored teeth…augh!No…the horror the horror! I don’t even want to KNOW what he did to get them that color. _shudders_ And thanks to having to listen to my sister’s tapes of [this](http://www.insaneclownposse.com/detect.php) group whilst riding around with her in the car, I’ll never see dead bodies OR clowns the same way again!:eek: IDBB ---

Never really considered clowns scary (may change my mind after this thread), but a coupla years a go while watching HBO’s “Real Sex”, they had a segment about clown sex. Have no clue what personal demons that could have dredged up, but found it so creepy I had to change the channel. The visual still gives me the heebies. ---

A wonderfully bad film, it’s almost worth renting. ---

Brrrrr…[this](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3140541763&category=736) clown seems to be _daring_ you to smack him with that little bell, so he’ll have an excuse to murder you in your sleep. > [@](#): > > In very good condition, graphics and colors bright and clear, shows little or no use [wild speculation] The sensible child who owned this toy clearly did not want to die, and hid him under a floorboard somewhere. Probably nailed the shit out of the board as well. Years later, someone rennovating the house found him, and unleashed his evil on an unsuspecting world once again. Or something like that.
