And they’ll pronounce Arkansas with the emphasis on the second syllable so they can claim that. And God help Canada!
I am going to spend a week at our family mountain home deep *in the woods * near Asheville later this month. I hope this mess is cleared up by then.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. And I will be stuck in the middle.
I live near Asheville and I can assure you there are no creepy clowns here. (Yet.) And if my former clown co-worker* has anything to say about it, there never will be. She is very :mad: about these weirdos giving clowns a bad name.**
*Seriously. Went to the Ringling Bros. Clown College and everything. That makes my college summer jobs all look lame. 
**Yes, I know.
Clowns got college???
This is bad.
Another day, another clown.
And more…This time the Clown had the machete
We are now reaching clown epidemic numbers.
From your link:
Pro tip: if you’re dressed as a clown and want to lure women into the woods, maybe keep the machete out of view.
As a woman, I’d be much more likely to follow a machete-wielding maniac into the woods than a clown.
Indeed?
Why so?
Well, of course, I should ask, “Why follow anyone you do not want to be alone with into the woods?”
I should think that clowns, machete wielding maniacs, Cub Scouts, and used car salesmen would be equally unlikely to be followed into the woods.
Maybe the rest took off in a Lincoln Clown Car.
Speak to your Physician or a Man of the Cloth.
Admitting that you have a problem is the first step.
Get help!
I have lots of friends and family in Winston-Salem. One of my friends just posted a long anti-clown rant - her teenaged daughter won’t go outside to check the mail or take out the trash because she’s afraid of clowns. I don’t know if something happened or if she’s just afraid because of the stories or if she just finds it a convenient excuse for not taking out the trash.
So if you plan on dressing up like a clown and getting near my friend Patsy, YOU WILL GET SUCKER PUNCHED! Hard! And the crazy will be unleashed! Consider yourself warned.
Sounds like they are screwed.
Try repeating this over and over:
… Or ninjas
After watching several of those videos with a sick fascination, I believe they have to be faked. I would think such pranksters, if real, would soon prank the wrong person and find themselves in the hospital or morgue. Did you watch the videos by the same people, but with a creepy screaming kidinstead of clowns? I tried to show the clips to my wife and she was, to say the least, not amused.
Oh, and today’s new vocabulary word is Coulrophobia
The thought definitely crossed my mind. One guy who posted a number of those videos has a link to where you can buy the scary clown masks and costumes, so it’s very possible he faked the videos to make some money.
That said, all of the news reports make me think that others who’ve seen the videos may have stupidly decided to do it for real.
Right. And someone could get hurt.
Everyday, life just gets to be weirder and harder to understand.
Perhaps they are trying to attract attention to their new indy film, The Blair Clown Project?
