Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down those stairs
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

What the hell is going in in this country? And for the record, if one encounters a clown when out in the woods, I think it’s justified to repel them. Even just on general principles.

Or Glen Beck - Cheetos the Clown.

Uh-oh! Where are the conspiracy theorists? Aliens? BLM? ISIS, dims or simply child-predators? Nah, it can’t be that easy! It has to be a conspiracy!

Serial killer John Wayne Gacy comes to mind.

“Man dressed in clown outfit found in the woods with gunshot wounds.”

Yup, it could be a prank gone deadly.

Why would ANYONE like something that looks half human, half monster?!

I had recurring nightmares about being chased by a clown when I was a kid. To this day, in my late middle age, I still get completely creeped out by clowns.

Lindseed’s Children of the Dark Woods on the loose? *-o

Send Matt Lauer. Send Katie Couric.

It takes a clown to cover clowns.

[Gamecock]

I just heard some moron bounced a clown check down at the bodega!

[mcshot]

I detest them also. Can’t figure out what triggered it but suspect a parade where I was grabbed.

[Larry Lucido]

I would recruit little ninjas dressed up like kids as bait and turn them loose.

[MAexile]

I seem to recall they’re remaking Stephen King’s “It”.

Promotion gone bad?

[blueunicorn6]

Is it Hillary?

She dresses like a clown.

Don’t go into her gingerbread house in the woods!

[angcat]

Good lord how embarrassing for America.

I think they are the most off target characters in the world.

They are supposed to amuse, but their human features covered with all white and red glaring out here and there makes them look like nuclear fallout mutants.

[T-Bone Texan]

Where I live, the people lurking in the woods at night are called “homos”.

[stocksthatgoup]

Clowns are mimes with nothing to say

[wally_bert]

That makes two of us.
