Last clown fact for you. Most professional clowns start later in life 35-40. That’s where I am now lol

Off topic but I feel this is what the internet is for. Once on Reddit someone was trashing the charecter “Johnny brovo” as a bad role model…

Some dude showed up with episode numbers and theories… Johnny bravo was a feminist icon it turns out. He’s just socially awkward in a world that doesn’t give him patience. He never actually puts down a woman. He’s very respectful to the women in his life (his mom and child friend) he just doesn’t know how to approach women.

That is what the internet is for. To connect you to “that one person” who studied this specific thing and has answers for you.

Instead we use the internet for pirn an AI.

I don’t know what bags are but as long as you understand clowns aren’t “just creepy” that there’s a corporate middle manager out there who has spent years thinking about clowns and dreams of leaving his life to go to clown school (btw I can attend every clown school on the planet for cheaper than an MBA) that’s all I want. I’ve looked into clowning in a real way. I know the schools. The best schools are only a few grand for the education.

Clowns aren’t a scary thing. To some of us they are amazing!

One day I will become a clown. Right now my family still gets weird when I talk about it. They want me to continue being successful in a job that makes zero people laugh. But my frozen sales are up. Third in the country before I left that job. I’m good at the boring job. It’s just never funny.

I’m religious (I don’t force it on anyone)

The entire fucking Bible makes it clear to let people live. Even if you believe they are sinners (they aren’t but whatever) that means you love them harder because they need more love.

But that wouldn’t teach them anything because they won’t listen.

So I suggest bringing a copy of the Bible and just hitting people with it while shouting “the power of Christ compels you”

It’s a very heavy book. If you don’t want to use the Bible you can substitute with “the power broker” and say whatever you want. They never read the power broker, they won’t call you on it.

Guns

I do that one a lot too when talking about immigrants. “No you misunderstood. We are a nation of immigrants but my family wasn’t. My families been here since the late 1600s. America formed around us. Like lt Dan, a member of my family fought and died in every American war. This is my damn country and you’re not going to shut MY DOOR behind you. I want immigrants in MY country. If you don’t like it here, you leave. They can stay”

I also have Native American blood in me but not enough to brag about.

I’m also technically a Mormon priest so I declare drag shows to be biblically fine. Not a sin at all. I bless them.

I call it the “out pizza the hut strategy” oh you’re family lived in this town 150 years? That’s adorable. The largest man made lake in Texas is named after my great grandfather. Your family is just on vacation compared to mine.

You’ve clearly never met chihuahua. The are kept alive thru hatred alone.

That’s a joke btw. I actually agree with you.

Oh one more thing there are people who would argue clowns can talk and that doesn’t make them less clowns…

It’s just not how my camp feels.

It’s sort of like “zombie purists “

“No zombies can’t hold guns… this is a monster movie not a zombie movie!!! No zombies can’t run or collaborate, that’s a monster not a zombie”

And there’s arguments to be made on both sides but I know where I stand.

Clown don’t talk and zombies have to be risen dead, not a rabies like disease.

That’s just my opinion.

Well clown don’t talk but that doesn’t mean they are “silent” more specifically the point of their jokes are not “silence”.

Clowns have different styles of jokes. There’s poor clown, the dumb clown, the bossy clown (found in clown groups ) angry clowns. So on and so forth.

Now I don’t mean to talk down on mimes, not at all, they are fun too but their jokes are all about them being silent and you figuring out what’s going on. Trapped in a box, too windy, climbing a rope. They arent falling down stairs or getting into fights with other clowns.

Mines are silent, that’s their bit. Clowns are silent but they have their own personalities.

If you watch “welcome to derry” that last episode has a good example of a kind of clown act. He’s pulling flowers but a gopher keeps taking them, then you find out the flowers are for the grave of his wife and the gopher gives him a flower. There a storyline to the jokes.

Btw pennywise the clown has great makeup. I know people see it as creepy but it does what it’s supposed to do.

Highlights his smile his cheexk movements his forehead movements.

That’s what the makeup is for. So the audience 50 feet away can see clearly when you’re smiling or frowning or crying. That’s the point of clown makeup.

I’ve always wanted to be a clown instead I’m just a retail district managers who’s fantastic at his job… I should’ve been a clown lol

Oh another example of the difference is the guy from (I think) americas got talent. The tape face guy.

He doesn’t talk but he has music and stuff in his bits.

His goth look btw is also just clown makeup in that it has the same effect. He just uses dark shadow so you can see when he’s “surprised “ vs “tired” the tape also shows face movement.

Clown are fascinating if you give them a chance.

Real professional clowns not the clown at the car dealership who makes balloon animals.

I just got a lot going on dude. I’m know for you’re perspective I just went off on you randomly… it isn’t you.

All I can say is “kudos to you” see how far that got me. I think I said before “how’d it work out for those saints in the Bible “

I’ve done a lot and it cost me a lot. So the best you can without losing yourself.

Sorry for my outburst. It really wasn’t personal at all. It was me.

Clowns don’t talk. lol if you want to have an hour long debate on the differences between clowns and mines I’ll be happy to indulge but it’s probably best if you just back away lol

They want to be taken seriously. So if you have a trombone, bagpipes, a clown costume… anything that makes a mockery of their protest will hurt them more than all the facts and clever phrasing in the world.

These people are prepared to argue that aren’t prepared for a clown with a ukalalee .

White face paint is cheap. Add a couple red dots on your cheekbones and around your mouth. Boom you’re a clown. The whole time the are talking just stand next to them. Slump your shoulders and rub your hand under your eyes with the classic wrist twisting motion. So they know you’re crying with them.

Make sure they can’t get a single good picture of their protest without “that damn clown is in the way!”

Cost you about 3 bucks in supplies and would hurt than more than any megaphone.

He’ll it’s a drag show? I’m sure someone could lend you some makeup if you tell them why.

You bring the rum

Well if it makes you feel any better I quit that job and got baker acted 4 times in a month for suicude attempts. So I guess we agree lol

My elbow will never bend right again because of that fight with the cops.

Before that I took in 6 homeless people to live with me while they got on their feet.

Have you ever held a man who drank himself to death because he was dieing of aids ? I cried the whole time to the hospital with him.

So… what exactly have you done to help the cause again? Aside from your chair sitting I mean?

Because ive helped so many people the universe won’t allow me to die. And boy howdy have I tried lots of ways. Life clings to me like a parasite.

You want to talk about ice? Have you ever sheltered an immigrant? I have.

I wish I could be like him. I guess I’m the dollar tree brand of him.

I know. I’m just being silly lol we live in dark times my friend. I force myself to find smiles whenever I can.

DONT fuck trump supporters. It reminds me of the joke “if you go over to a persons house and don’t see any books… don’t fuck them”

Same with trump stuff. I’m asexual myself but I hear sex is a strong motivator for most men.

Oh shit… he had a hat that said Ww2 veteran we never asked “what side”!!! This changes everything!!! At least he was working on a cure tho… joke obviously.

Spelling isn’t my strong point. I’m a salesman and a great “talker” but spelling escapes me

Jokes aside rabies (that right) is a terrible way to go. It was a bigger deal back in the day. In some countries it’s still a big worry.

(So many edits) I’m imagining now my friend Zack who was Jewish walking thru the woods “is this free meat? Well can’t let it go to waste… wait why do I feel like god has left me all the sudden”

My grandfather taught me never to dehumanize people.

Once you start seeing people as “less than people” things go bad quick. People are people. There’s good, bad, and ugly. But they are people.
