"clown nose on" / "clown nose off"
as exemplified by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show.
No sale, troll.
You were responding to a post that said
Luckily I see there are readers who are thinking about his stupid blog posts and realizing you could make as strong an argument that apples are causing unexpected deaths.
and included that sentence in your reply.
That context indicates the emoticon at the end should be taken as "ha ha, aren't Kirsch and his mindless-conspiracy-followers stupid" rather than the more generic "ha ha, you can find all kinds of daffy correlations" Troll.
Can you not understand that apples/unexpected deaths is a case of “correlation does not equal causation”? Same as divorce/margerine?
Yes, Jon Stewart is a clown alright. Nice that you enjoy his show.
You sure seem have a chip on your shoulder about thinking others are calling you stupid.
