Yes, those prices are for real.

The folks at this estate sale wanted 12 dollars for the evil thing on the right.



I snagged a sweet set of vintage-looking Mickey Mouse salad utensils for four bucks, though. Which was the only good buy in the place - everything else was ultra-expensive, and most of it wasn't that nice. Also they really liked clowns; they were everywhere!

Look out, Dad's been drinking again!

He'll beat your ass.

They're everywhere!

The thing about clowns: they're sneaky. Even when a room appears clown-free, you never know where one might be lurking. For example, inside a box of baby wipes:



Thanks to sender-inner Stacey for alerting me to this horrid truth: a clown can hide anywhere.

Confession time: I love iCarly. I'm 15-20 years older than the target audience, but this show is freaking hilarious.




If you want to know why a pasty kid has a clown painted on his gut, pick up the first set of DVDs. Seriously, it's funny.

Truth in humor.

Once again, a bit behind on finding actual clowns for you guys, so I'm offering up a chart from one of comedian Demitri Martin's shows.



Hard to argue with it.

I return.

Sorry for being AWOL for a couple of weeks. Been busy. A bit busy to do a proper clown search, actually, so...who wants a still from The Office?



I'm kind of over the whole Jim/Pam thing, but I kind of wish his parents would tell us the story behind the load-bearing clown print.

Reader submission!

The RealDoll manufacturers are starting to lose it.

Life-size clown...doll? I don't know what this kind of thing would be used for, and I most emphatically don't WANT to know.

I knew it.

Now THAT is classy!

Check out that frame!

In keeping with the spirit of yesterday's post

Let the crossovers continue.



Apparently there are such things as clown ministries. And it's, like, a common thing. I DO NOT LIKE THIS ONE BIT.

A pair of firsts.

1. Our first-ever video post!

2. Our first-ever crossover post!

And why is that?

Because, folks, this is a video of a scary clown puppet who is sad but feels happy after he accepts Jesus into his heart. Ever feel like you have proof that God thinks you as an individual are really, really awesome? I can't think of any other explanation for why a scary religious clown might exist. And to add an extra level, this "Gary" kid looks a lot like my friend's son. Except my friend's son would never talk to a clown about Jesus. James is way too cool for that.



Enjoy. And a mega-thanks to Lindsay for finding this!
