Yesterday I discovered that there's a yearly International Clown Summit.

And an annual Clown Cruise, where they take over a cruise ship and tour Scandinavia.

There HAS to be a play, film or maybe even a LARP based on one of these. Oh yes.

With or without throngs of naked women screaming your name and throwing miniature pickles at you?

Clowns are neat, the six-foot marionette that hung above my bed as a child notwithstanding.

Oh, without. Loud noises make me flinch, I'd feel bad if I was responsible for any sunburn, and my winged lemurs would get all confused and bruised diving for the midair pickles.

You had a six-foot marionette hanging above your bed? For years? Was this a very strange pagan's idea of a dreamcatcher?

Ah, yes. That would make it distinctly less appealing, wouldn't it?

And the poor flying lemurs!

(You do know where that's referenced, yes?)

And I think a Pagan's idea of a dreamcatcher would be . . . a dreamcatcher. ;) In my case, it was my mother's clever (read: unfortunate) design to save space. Scared the hoohah out of me for a while.

Ayiiee! Unless it's related to Joey the Lemur from MST3K, I have to plead ignorance.

If I hung a six-foot *anything* over someone's bed, it would be with the full knowledge that sooner or later entropy in the form of a draft, a doorslam or old string would send the creature down on top of whoever was in bed. Causing screams, trauma, and therapy bills, no doubt.
