Le Clown and Me in the Dirty D

Yes boys and girls, you read that right.  The Ring Leader of the wackiest circus show on earth popped in for a day long tour of the Motor City, and guess who the lucky shmuck was that had to babysit his ass?

It’s been a week and I’m still recovering…

I’m convinced there was no way of preparing for the unexpected visit.  In less than twelve hours, the powdery little freakshow turned my hometown into a raging dumpster fire.  See Exhibit A.

To find out more about all the ridiculous antics, outbursts, and clowning around, check out my guest post today on A Clown on Fire:  http://clownonfire.wordpress.com/.  It’s a goody.

If you’re really bored, check out http://www.theimpersonals.com.  At 10am EST, they’re gonna be featuring that goofy Fotoshop post of mine from last week.  Drop off a rock star salute!

Oh, and I just watched Bar Refaeli make out with the Godaddy nerd For the first time.  Wow does money talk…

Happy Birthday, Monsieur Le Clown!

If it's good enough for Maurice, it's good enough for Le Clown.  Maybe better.

If it’s good enough for Maurice, it’s good enough for Le Clown. Maybe better.

Dear Eric,

First of all, Fuck you for making me get out of bed before 3pm on a Sunday *morning to say Happy Birthday.  Second, I don’t work well under pressure.  You gotta tell me these things sooner.  I didn’t even know Canadians celebrated birthdays until today.

I’ve been running around town all morning trying to find a keg of bubbly water, a hot tray of Poutine, and an embroidery shop.  This ain’t the first party I’ve planned, but it’s probably the most challenging thus far.  You have very *specific tastes, my friend — like an emperor or something.

To add to the last minute stress, the guy at the embroidery shop was being a dickhead.  He was giving me a hard time about using the number 9.  I don’t know what the hell his problem was, but according to him, some Richard dude used to wear it.  Never heard of the guy…

If it wasn’t for your Birthday, Eric, January would be a complete waste of a month.  As a matter of fact, I was considering petitioning to have it removed from the calendar altogether.  I think it’s worth keeping now.  The month of January will hereby be dedicated to your life and living legendness.

You and your ego, my friend, are a seemingly bottomless well of creative ideas, and you’re doing a fine job of making the rest of us look like a bunch of slack-off assholes.  You and your hoighty toighty blogroll extravaganzas, Monty Python-ish fanclubs, photo-shopping, Dear Abby Advice Columns, Twitter-ing with the fucking CEO of WordPress

One-upper.  

A very Happy Birthday to you, Monsieur Eric!  And a bitchin’ Birthday salute!!

Still Speaking Hypothetically…

I can’t think of a better way to kick off the MRTB 2K13 Campaign then by drop-kicking a few more Hypothetical Head-Spinners into the dumpster — along with a lit match.

I'm back, Punk.

Le Clown, I don’t want to have to stop the tape again. Please stop doodling on your name screen.

If you weren’t here for the last Q and A shit-show, make sure you check out Hypothetically Speaking (Part I) for the rules of engagement.  Otherwise, sit back and relax while myself and a MagnificientTM friend of mine launch another list of stupid questions into space orbit where they belong.

Cut the lights.  Fire up the Amps.

Pyrotechnics standby.  

Head explosion beginning in 3…2…1

Round Deux:

…Would you be willing to have your left middle finger surgically removed if it somehow guaranteed you immunity from all diseases?

I’d rather get coughed in the mouth by someone with the Ebola Virus than have my left middle finger removed.  It’s the second most important extremity on my body.  If I were left handed it would be number one.

If man evolved from apes why do we still have apes?

Easy question.  Because the Zoo would suck without the monkey exhibit.  Watching a rabid Chimp spaz out and fast-pitch a stinky, banana flavored hand full of monkey dung at some dude eating a sandwich?  That’s what I call money well spent.

Well worth the price of admission.

          Le Clown Picture Le Clown:  Who gives a fuck. Le Clown evolved from man, so why do we still have man?

Why do we wash bath towels? Aren’t we clean when we use them?

I don’t know about you but I’m not that eager to wipe my face with the same towel that I dry my dinner exit with.  After the first use you’re playing with fire.

Standardized Post-Shower Drying Procedure:

Zone 1:  Head       Zone 2:  Shoulders      Zone 3:  Knees & Toes       Zone 4:  “Area 51″          Zone 5:  Hamper

Does pressing the call button on an elevator multiple times really make the lift come quicker?

If you’re pushing the call button from the lobby and trying to reach your bathroom on the 85th floor after drinking 14 beers, no.  If you’re pushing the call button from the lobby and trying to reach your bathroom on the 85th floor after eating a plate of undercooked wet burritos, definitely no.   In any other circumstances, yes.

"You're gonna wanna make sure you're bundled up around mid-week because we're expecting some heavy snow accumulation, and temperatures dropping all the way down into the Cold as Fuck range."

“You’re gonna wanna make sure you’re bundled up around mid-week because we’re expecting some heavy snow accumulation, and temperatures dropping all the way down into the Cold as Fuck range.”

If the temperature is zero outside today and it’s going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

In order to answer this one we’ll need to use a little weather math:

Equation:

If 32º F is freezing… and 32º F minus 32º is… 0º F… carry the 1…

Take the |absolute value| and multiply (x) by the derivative2 of the fractal binary equation.  Multiply that value by the Square Root of (y)…

…According to my calculations the answer is Cold as Fuck.

Anything below zero is cold enough to make snow come out of your nose when you sneeze. That’s all you need to know.  Welcome to January in Michigan.  Our State Welcome Center Sign should read:  “What the Hell are you Doing Here?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The first egg was invented in a lab by a Hungarian scientist in 1968.  The first attempt was a miserable failure, and resulted in the accidental creation of a plastic-shelled egg filled with jelly beans.  After several tries, the first chicken was hatched in an incubator a couple months later.  The lab technicians named the hen Erzsébet.  The first Easter holiday was celebrated the following year.  Sadly,  Erzsébet died before the party, but her offspring Piroska, and György were present.

They were dropped into a deep fryer later that afternoon.

          Le Clown Picture  Le Clown:  Wrong.  The answer is Le Clown, and his ego. Or did the ego come first…

Is there a time limitation on fortune cookie predictions?

Yes.  It expires when you break the cookie open.  Most people don’t know this, but in order for the fortune to be fulfilled, you have to suck on the cookie until it dissolves  – including the little piece of paper.  It’s a messy and horribly uncomfortable procedure. Give it a try.

Send pics.

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

          Le Clown Picture  Le Clown:  No. It’s considered another fuck-up by Big Pharma. Fuck you, Big Pharma.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but checks when you say the paint is wet?

Because it takes roughly thirty seconds to wash paint from your hands, and about 3000 years to count to four billion.  How desperate are you to validate this claim?

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

          Le Clown Picture Le Clown:  Fuck you, Yoda.

How does the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings?

This one’s actually a tough question.  There are countless transportation options for getting to work in the morning.  Let’s try putting it into a multiple choice format:

A.) Cross Country Skies  B.) A Pair of Stilts  C.) A Pogo Stick  D.) Flying Saucer   E.)  Shovels a path and walks there on his hands

The multiple choice format did not help.

If Felix Baumgartner farts while breaking the sound barrier and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

          Le Clown PictureLe Clown: I don’t know. But farts jokes are funny. Pull my finger.

Why is it that on a phone or calculator the number five has a little dot on it?

The purpose of the dot is to remind the user that any finger is a viable option for calculating or dialing with.  You can even use your thumb to push the buttons if you’d like.

There’s probably a former Press Operator reading that’s not finding this very funny.

Sorry dude.  You still rock.  \m

Oops.

Where do people in Hell tell other people to go?

I’ve never been to Hell personally, but if I had to guess, the angry residents there are probably telling jerk-offs to go to the DMV to get their driver’s licenses renewed.  If said Hell resident really wanted to insult the jerk-off in question, he’d probably tell them to go on a Saturday afternoon.  That place sucks.

*********

Alright.  Time to clean this place up.  I gotta head next door to my neighbor’s house and try to explain to him how his car started on fire.  This should be interesting.  Wish me luck.

One last question for you:

What if the hokey pokey really is what it’s all about?

*Rimshot*

Good stuff.

What Do Missiles, Paul Reiser, and Elevator Farting Have in Common?

In order to find out what all of these things have in common, you’ll have to stop by the  My Right to Bitch Blogroll Induction Ceremony on A Clown on Fire.  And bring a side a dish.  Preferably one with lots of beer in it.

It’s a gloriously festive occasion.  I hope you can make it.

I’ve cracked the code.  At least I think I did.  Stop by the party, and I’ll explain the inner workings of the the very wacky, impressionistic, and sometimes indecipherable A Clown on Fire website.  Important answers will be discovered.  Answers to questions like, “What the Fuck is a A Clown on Fire?”  Perhaps the most burning question of all…

It’s must read material.

Would you expect any less?

Here’s a Preview:

A Clown on Fire: Raising le Blogging Bar

If you suffer from Coulrophobia, get a grip.  Take your meds, breath into a bag  — do whatever you have to do to get yourself stabilized, then go and visit A Clown on Fire’s blog.

Le Clown himself.  Illustrious Author, Winner of Awards, Wearer of Patrick Roy jerseys.  Join the Circus at your own Risk.

If you’re not familiar with him already, Le Clown is a fast-rising WordPress phenom, and winner of the prestigious Alan Smithee Blog Award.  He’s the man solely responsible for Canada’s leading export, quality blog content – surpassing the country’s previous top export, maple syrup.  He’s also a surprisingly polite French Canadian (an oxymoron, I know), and a fluent speaker of both French and Frenglish.   You might be wondering how I know so much about Canada? Please, there isn’t much to learn…

When I’m not busy looking for porn on the internet, I’m usually reading through blogs – lots of them.  It’s a great way to find inspiration when (le) creative tank is running on fumes.  When I first discovered Le Clown, I immediately noticed that his material had the opposite effect on me.  Rather than leaving me with a new found sense of inspiration, I felt like a poo-head instead.  View at your own risk.  By the time you finish visiting the circus, you’ll undoubtedly want to end your pathetic blogging career.

I’m packing my desk as I write.  I’ve decided to pursue things that come natural to me from now on — things like breathing, walking, etc.  Ok, I’m no slouch, but god damn, this guy is endlessly funny — especially the comment threads.

Despite his ego being the size of the Northwest Territories, Le Clown is unlike many of the honorary members of (le) Freshly Pressed hall of fame.  As we all know, the majority of stuff on the front page is sub-par.  However, Le Clown has rightfully earned his star on the sidewalk by continuing to produce stellar content.  As a result, his viewership is trending upward, post-induction – ahem, WordPress editors, market research opportunity!

His phenomenal readership aside, engagement with fans is what I find most impressive.  Every person that interacts with his blog is acknowledged, unlike some truly arrogant players I’ve come across.  I can’t even imagine the amount of time that’s required to keep up with (le) blog.  I get anxious just thinking about it.

You may be wondering if I’m a paid promoter of the circus.  The answer is no.  You may also be wondering if I’d like to be a paid endorser.  The answer is an enthusiastic yes.  I won’t quit my day job yet…

Remember your daily affirmations, Adam S. He is only a clown. He cannot hurt you. You are a fucking winner today. Remember your Alan Smithee Blog Award.

More Clowns you Should be Afraid of:

  • Homey the Clown – Step out of line and you’re gonna get a rock-filled sock to the back of the head.  Whatever shenanigans you may be considering, rest assured, Homey don’t play that game.
  • Ronald McDonald - Don’t be fooled by this clown’s happy disposition.  He’s laughing all the way to the bank while you stuff your gut full of hamburger grease.  If you’re not careful, he might have to blow up a balloon catheter animal inside one of your arteries soon.  Would you like fries with that?
  • Carrot Top - Never trust a clown that’s going through Anabolic Steroid withdrawal.  What ever happened to the skinny goofball with the suitcase full of props?  The bigger he gets the more he looks like a woman.  I don’t get it?

A few other things Le Clown can do that you can’t:

  • Impregnate women just by staring at them — some men, too
  • Fashionably wear white foundation and a foam nose in public
  • Watch Hockey Night in Canada while his ego does the grocery shopping

*****

Very commendable effort my French-speaking neighbor to the north.  I bow to Le Clown and always enjoy your humor.  Canada, please don’t be offended by this ignorant American — he means no harm.  Besides, I love Don Cherry.

Merci Beaucoup…

 -Happy Blogging Ya Coulrophobic Bitchers!

I am a man of my word, Le Clown. Inspiration is there when I need it most. Do not ruin your upholstery with tears of joy.
