Don't send in the clowns

Taken moments after...

Yet you found my christmas card "extremely offensive"?

Does not compute for this clown.

OBlimey, your cartoon of Jesus of Nazareth--the Christ of Christmas--being sodomized by Santa registers an offensive of a completely different order than this bloody gif nomo originally posted. The difference in order is the difference between the sacred and the secular. Your cartoon desecrated the Christian God and King of the universe, who--if the prophetic scriptures are true--you and every one of us will bow and confess that He is Lord.

And let me say, Seamus, I got the joke of the cartoon, and the profound truth that it was depicting. Nevertheless, it grieved me. But I'd like to point something out. Few people are going to be grieved and offended by the above gif. You'd have to have some serious corporate loyalties to be offended by the king doing a drive-by on the clown. Few people worship Ronald McDonald, he is not a God.

Here's a further difference that I hope might underscore the severity of your offense and the understanding, forgiveness and grace you will get from me and true Christians at your Christmas Card. When a person in many parts of the Muslim world desecrates Allah or his prophet Mohammed you have riots and calls for the death penalty. On the other hand when Jesus Christ allowed himself to be desecrated and hung naked on the cross so that he might take upon His body the offenses of the world (i.e., our sins), Jesus prayed, "Father forgive them for they do not know what they do." And in like manner, OBlimey, I extend my grace to you. I only wanted you to respect my sincere love for the Lord of the universe. You might not presently acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, but my knees are bowed to Him as God.

Do you juggle, too, Marmot?

Marmot, I get what you're saying - in the end we have to bend over for Jeebus!

scariest...fucking...RI blog...ever

Prima facie proof of non human tricksters and organized child rapists dressed as clowns with knives trying to abduct kids across America in the early 1980's.

When you have Satanic government related cults and their inter dimentional puppet masters masquerading as clowns trying to abduct kids...yeah, there may be a reason for kids to be weary.

John Wayne Gacy not withstanding.

Of course, thats American clowns. European clowns(mimes) have a LONG pedigree of cultural relevence and love for good reason.

One dead in pie factory explosion

One man has died and six others have been injured in an explosion at a pie factory in Huddersfield.

The explosion happened at Andrew Jones Pies on Old Leeds Road, close to the town centre, just after 0500 BST.

Police said seven employees, all male, were working in the building at the time of the explosion.

The dead man, a 38-year-old from Salterhebble, Halifax, died at the scene. A 23-year-old from Crossland Moor, Huddersfield, is critically ill.

Police said he was being treated at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

Five other people suffered minor injuries.

The fire service said the roof had collapsed and specialist teams with cutting gear were at the scene to make the factory safe.

More than 40 firefighters from West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service were called out to deal with the explosion.

Keith Robinson, group manager for the fire service, said it was too early to say what had caused the blast but said it was not suspicious.

He confirmed the body was still inside the wreckage of the building and would be recovered once the building was made structurally safe.

'Absolutely devastated'

A police spokesman said: "Due to structural damage at the bakery there have been difficulties in extracting the body of the deceased from the building.

"This will be done by specialist officers from the fire service once the property is made safe.

"Inquiries into the cause of the explosion are ongoing and a joint investigation involving the police, fire service and the Health and Safety Executive is currently under way."

The award-winning Andrew Jones Pies has been established in the town for many years and supplies a number of supermarkets.

Graham Easby from the firm said it was a close knit workforce and everyone's thoughts were with the families of those involved.

He said: "The people that have come with us have started out as apprentices, they've grown up, you've seen them grow up, you've seen them go out for their first pint of beer, you've seen them get married and have children.

"The colleagues that have been here today are absolutely devastated by what's happened."

On its website, the company said: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the pie factory and our shops will remain closed until further notice."

Oh man, when I was a kid, up until I was 8 or 9, my dentist had some kind of clown fetish--pictures of clowns all over the place in his office. Scared the shit out of me. Still does. Clown creep me out.

I just finished "Dance with the Devil," a book by Barbara Bentley, about her marriage to and escape from a sociopath. Lowbrow, I know, but escapist fare.

I was horrified to read her tale of meeting Red Skelton in Hawaii on one of their many jaunts (kinda hard to feel pity for her when she traveled all over and stayed in fancy hotels with the creep she married). She was a huge Skelton fan, and her hubby (who was the real-life son of Admiral Perry) persuaded her to buy one of Skelton's clown oil paintings for $80,000. They also bought a Skelton napkin drawing of a clown for $7500 or so. How horrifying!

What a racket (the Skelton paintings). At that point he was so old he probably didn't even know where he was. Red Skelton is the lowest form of clown - the so-called "tramp" clown.

The Tramp clown is a distinctly American invention, although he is now popular in European circuses as well. The most well-known Tramp is clearly Charlie Chaplin’s "Little Tramp," Red Skelton’s Freddy the Freeloader, or Emmett Kelly’s "Weary Willie." The generic Tramp character assumes a "down-on-his-luck" approach to life. His costume appears tattered and torn (a performing clown should never have a shabby or unclean costume), and things do not go well for him.

The hobo, on the other hand, has much more of a "devil-may-care" attitude. Although in the same position as the tramp (costuming and make-up may be virtually identical), the hobo is not unhappy about his situation. He knows that everything will turn out all right. A well-known example is Red Skelton‘s clown character, "Freddy the Freeloader."

Clown Ministry

The tramp clown was born in America, from the homeless people at the turn of the century. How low can you go?

Well, everyone knows Gacy can go lower and his Auguste style is definitely frightening. But to me, the most cringeworthy clowns are the tramps and hoboes. They are not rooted in the grand theatrical tradition but rather come from other people's misery.

Highly Recommended is Federico Fellini's The Clowns. I have seen this film several times. Its from 1971 and is a combination of fantasy scenes and interviews with old performers from the days of the big top. The music as well as the performance is first rate. It shows the many different types of clowns, complete with a clown 'funeral' performance (an act like no other). Here is a link to a remix edit with different music.
