 I am loath to say this ... but

                                              BULL POOPIE .

 About the movie in the second post ...

                                          MORE BULL POOPIE     

 Like the "reported" cases of poison Halloween candy , or the Legend of the Swamp creature that devours children , there has never ever been a documented case of either . NADA, ZIPPO , didn't happen . All cases of mass hysteria .

Could be a copy-cat of the Green Bay clown, who was apparently real enough earlier this summer.

Actually, that documentary debunks all of those stories and tracks down it's origin. There was one case of poisoned candy, but it was a father who gave it to his own kid. So, yes mostly bull poopie. That green bay clown is hilarious!

Now the Lochness monster...

 The Green Bay Clown is probably a fan of Insane Clown Posse .

 Oh , thanks for straightening me out on the movie , although that does beg the question , why do we need a movie to debunk obvious Poopie ? LOL

When I was a kid, if a clown had tried to lure me somewhere, I would have run the opposite way.  I suspect most kids would do the same.   :laugh:

I was just thinking the same thing as your post popped up.

Clowns, the traditional "circus clown" type, always looked scary and horrible to me, never funny.   I suspect a lot of people felt the same way, since a bunch of horror movies have traded on people's fear of the way clowns looked.

Never could figure that out.

On another discussion board, there was a regular who always wanted me to use more emoticons.  He was afraid that things I said would be misinterpreted if I didn't plaster every post with smileys.  I eventually made my own little smiley emoticon and started using it whenever I responded to one of his posts.

Like this clown.   "Pogo the Clown".   Supposed to be a funny clown, did kids' parties, parades, and things like that:

I never even had a positive image of Bozo nor Clarabelle.

Speaking of images from one's past, a bunch of us old guys (60's) were sitting around the other day and the subject of "Disney Villains" came up.   Turns out that a lot of people are still affected 50 years later by images they absorbed in their childhood ... !

My take on "Scariest Disney Villain" was the Coachman in "Pinocchio".    I dreamed about that guy, taking boys and turning them into donkeys ... !

The "Evillest Disney Villain" had to be Cinderella's stepmother.   10 solid years of abuse of a child living in a house that actually belonged to her ... worse than the Queen from "Sleeping Beauty", Cruella de Ville the puppy killer, or even Scar from "Lion King" ....

The scariest thing for me was seeing the Exorcist in the theater in 1973 when I was 14. Of course, 8 years of Catholic Grammar School had me prepped to be scared.

 Mr 54 , there have been "bigfoot" sightings for years , still no bigfoot . The police investigated the cabin in the woods where the clowns were supposed to be living and found nothing . I still say this is all just the product of a child's vivid imagination , and judging by the fear of clowns we have seen here , maybe some adults are being drawn in also .

 No problem with the "Foot" as we call him in Oklahoma  :laugh: Here is the problem with false sightings . A couple of years back , three smart boys in NE Oklahoma decided to go Bigfoot hunting based on a flurry of "sightings" . Yep , you guessed it , one of these guys shot and killed a bigfoot, unfortunately the shootee turned out to be one of the three friends . The two remaining smart guys panicked , tried to hide the body , and threw the murder weapon into a pond . Not long after, one of the survivors started feeling guilty and went to the sheriff . The sheriff of Osage county , Scott Walton , had to fend off several questions , even the national news showed up . It was almost comical to watch the reporters continue asking about the sightings , Walton finally looked at the camera and stated , "There is no such thing as bigfoot"  :laugh: Of course not so funny to the family of the dead guy .

There's bound to be more and more clown sightings as their natural habitat shrinks and they don't have any real natural predators. States just need to make the hunting season longer and allow larger daily bag limits.

They're built in.  :wink:  Normal swimmers get most the propulsion from the arms.  The feet kicking prevent the legs from being a drag in the water.  Mark and Michael are able to get more propulsion that most people that swim.

When I was a kid, (in the 70's) we had something similar going on out on Eastern Long Island. Some creepy perv was walking around trying to lure kids in the woods and would expose himself to them. So some high school kids decided to go clown hunting, saw him chased him down and 'tuned him up' then tied him to a tree and went to call the police.  Ended up being a teacher in my elementary school.......... lol
