I blame the FX Archer series, particularly last season’s ‘Bel Panto’ episodes.

I highly recommend that you watch them. Hilarious.

I hate Clowns. They’re creepy.

You and me both!

The manufacturing company I used to work for in Detroit also had a plastics plant and its HR manager used to be a professional clown with Ringling Brothers.

He had a side business operating a clown school in the area and his wife had a very successful internet business selling clown supplies.

As a side note, the company also used to own your Waupaca Foundry.........

The very fact Twitter quickly equated Tim Kaine with scary clowns using the #CreepyKaine hashtag--after all those clown sightings!--really must have given the Hillary Clinton campaign no end of trouble.

Seems that EVERYONE has owned a piece of Wisconsin at one point or another! Then our stupid, leftist politics/policies scare them away! ;)

What changed was people like Miss Makayla here donning a clown costume and using the mage to make death threats on the social media.

ThyssenKrupp/Budd Company, the one time owners of Waupaca, used to conduct week long motivational conferences in Troy, MI where the headquarters were located. Each session would bring in both salary (me) and management personnel from the different plants they owned then form them into teams in order to compete the entire week.

The week I attended I was teamed with a gal from Waupaca and we had an absolute blast. I still have the 5 foot pocket tape measure with "WAUPACA" emblazoned on the front of it that she brought as small gifts for everyone as well as several other neat things.

Waupaca Foundry was probably the only consistent profit making entity owned by ThyssenKrupp and at the time, they fought tooth and nail against TK's coming in and telling them how to run the business.

Fortunately for them, but not for Budd (my company) TK divested themselves of their ownership of Waupaca and they are still in business..........

Well, Poltergeist, IT, Killer Clowns from Outer Space, Insane Clown Posse, and John Wayne Gacy have kind of ruined them for me.

Are you the one that told me you were terrified of clowns?
I once signed my post as “Twinkie the Clown”, thinking I
was funny. Someone wrote back & said please, please say
you are NOT a clown! I’m not a clown.

They are not clowns. Wearing clown clothes does not make one a clown.
