I sorta am. I was driving today and saw a clown waiting at an interesection. It (he/she?) looked at me and then smiled. I didn't like the smile, it was weird.

I am after I saw the IT tv movie when I was in grade 9.

Never saw the movie, just the picture of that clown. Scary indeed.

IT was bloody scary when I saw it (yeah, aged about 10 or something)

LOL. My girlfriend is a clown. Its a lot of fun when we drive to one of her gigs and we pull up at the lights, the looks she gets

I, I just can't look at her in the same way when she has this huge painted smile on her face though! It just shatters all my childhood memories thinking that clowns actually have boyfriends/girlfriends!

That reminds me of Uncle Buck, where he punches out that clown because he was drunk showing up to Miles' birthday party. Popped his nose. That IT clown is freaky.

C'mon people. IT IS A JOB!
We are talking about clowns here like if they were a dangerous species.
They are common people with a not so common job.
Personally, I don't like clowns. I find them boring.

You know who I'm afraid of? Used car dealers.

I'm not deathly afraid of clowns, but for some reason, I've just never liked them.

bousozoku · Apr 28, 2003, 02:57 PM

When I was 4, my mum painted a couple of pictures of clowns for my room and I was deathly afraid of them. On the other hand, we also had two wood block prints of Samurai in full war gear and they were reassuring.

wdlove · Apr 28, 2003, 03:02 PM

I'm glad that we have them to make us laugh. They do bring on alot of smiles!

I find clowns to be somewhat odd, but I am not generally afraid of them.

nforcer · Apr 28, 2003, 03:55 PM

The only type of clown I am afraid of is an assclown

Clowns are cool, but not ass-clowns.

bradoesch · Apr 8, 2004, 07:00 PM

Sorry to dig up an old thread*, but I just found a rather amusing clown site, I Hate Clowns. It has some funny stuff. And for those truly scared of clowns, don't follow the link on that site to www.scaryornot.com.

yeah I was in about grade 8, The S.S Georgie, that scene was scary, yet slightly comical.

Myrkridia · Apr 9, 2004, 10:47 AM

I think "IT" ruined clowns for a lot of us.

They're all creepy now.

I always thought that the whole, "I have a phobia of clowns" was just an overused pitch or running gag on TV or in movies. Then I saw a documentary preview based around that fear. They bring in a clown, and these people are literally freakin out! Pushing themselves back in their chairs, digging their fingers into the arm cushions. Then I missed it..

cuz I don't have cable..

It seemed really interesting.

Clowns are cool because they are made from clowonium. A rare element that allows for condencing objects down so they can fit into small spaces. Which is why clown cars hold so many cars.

Tim Curry is the best damn clown ever.

Plus the best transvestite ever.
