#2 Ragnar_Lodbrok Apr 21, 2009 23:05:26	Ooookay *edges away slowly*
#3 baneofelves Apr 21, 2009 23:07:45	The reason that clowns have such bad reps is because of the ones that take chainsaws and tear up crowds. But they aren't as bad as mimes. God, DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON MIMES.
#4 dirtyfrank Apr 21, 2009 23:09:54	I've always thought that clowns were boring.
#5 baneofelves Apr 21, 2009 23:15:18	Play Twisted Metal. The clown, Sweet Tooth, will change your mind.
#6 dirtyfrank Apr 21, 2009 23:15:48	And what if it didn't?
#7 baneofelves Apr 21, 2009 23:18:10	Then you don't get to play a sick, psychotic clown that has organized a huge gladiator match (in vehicles) and kills people for his entertainment. The only one he didn't kill was Mr. Grimm. I think.
#8 Reg06 Apr 21, 2009 23:28:57	Meh. I've never cared about clowns one way or another (except to be driven insane when I heard the billionth person say "I hatezorz clownzz!1!11onelolol1fdjhdkj").
#9 ellorin Apr 22, 2009 2:42:57	I alwways considered them rather depressing. My best friend is utterly terrified of them though.
#10 ViolenceJack Apr 22, 2009 4:24:29	One of my friends dated a woman who was a clown as a lifestyle choice, not just a job. Apparently she never really went without the clown makeup. Even, you know... in bed. That's pretty alarming and creepy in my books.
#11 awesome_dude Apr 22, 2009 4:43:42	I'm creeped out by the silent ones. The ones that talk, not so much.
#12 ADHadh Apr 22, 2009 6:31:37	I alwways considered them rather depressing. My best friend is utterly terrified of them though. I've read or heard somewhere that comedians as a whole are a rather sad lot. They make people laugh to forget about their own depression.
#13 s-marrow Apr 22, 2009 7:44:19	I too have an overabundant affection for clowns. It is a not-so-secret dream of mine to become a clown someday. My parents wanted me to become a scientist. So that's what happens. Go figure. I suppose more than the style of the circus clown I like the harlequin or the pierrot. I think people would be less scared of those if they had those in the circus. It's sad that there are so few good clowns left in the world...
#14 zakhari_dup Apr 22, 2009 8:07:14	Clowns. Are. Evil. That is all.
#15 zombie_babies Apr 22, 2009 9:18:56	Nothing to fear from clowns? Clowns are boring? Lovable? John Wayne Gacy begs to differ! Well, you know, he would - if he hadn't been executed.
#16 the_shaman Apr 22, 2009 9:42:14	Remember the illustration of the Jester base class from Dragon Compendium? That looked like some crazy clown. Anyway, I like clowns, at least somewhat. I haven't been to a circus for quite a while, though, so there's a bit of nostalgia there as well. When I think about clowns, I remember an old song about clowns always being sad, ordinary guys after the performance is over... until the next show.
#17 s-marrow Apr 22, 2009 9:46:26	Pssh. The number of psychotic clowns out there is a paltry few. Besides, Gacy wasn't even a clown. He was just a clown wannabe. There are far more psychotic doctors, lawyers, government workers...fast food employees...laundromat owners...you know, probably. I don't actually have the statistics of mass murderers anywhere. Kind of a depressing subject. ...I'm going to think about penguins on a tightrope now.
#18 the_shaman Apr 22, 2009 9:57:45	Holy excretory matter on a jet-powered pogo stick, now I'm thinking about playing a waiter/waitress gone postal. Yeeeeees, a frenzied berserker waitress can definitely be an interesting NPC for my game. The psycho clown is just too predictable, though. I would save it for the psycho Red Riding Hood. The wolves are coming... they are coming to get me...
#19 zombie_babies Apr 22, 2009 10:01:11	Pssh. The number of psychotic clowns out there is a paltry few. Besides, Gacy wasn't even a clown. He was just a clown wannabe.

Kind of a depressing subject. ...I'm going to think about penguins on a tightrope now. Hey! Mr Gacy was a serial killer, not some goofball mass murderer. And he was too a clown! He even painted. Yeah. He painted ... clowns. A pretty cool band called Acid Bath used to use his paintings as CD art. Good stuff, that.
#20 s-marrow Apr 22, 2009 10:19:40	Mass murderer or serial killer, makes no real difference. A moron once is no different from a moron five times. Like I said, a clown wannabe. Real clowns don't obsessively paint clowns, because they are clowns, savvy? They might paint the occasional clown, but only as a passing whimsy. Whimsy and obsession can't coexist. Besides, he lacked the basic understanding of clown ideology.
#21 zombie_babies Apr 22, 2009 10:22:41	Actually, it makes a huge difference. But that's neither here nor there. Gacy was a clown. Suck it. :P Alright, I'm done bein' an ass. For now. :D
#22 s-marrow Apr 22, 2009 10:30:04	The only difference is that one moron perishes immediately and the other continues to be a moron until it catches up with him. I refuse your offer. Gacy was not a clown. But it seems the differences in our opinions are fundamentally irreconcilable, so I too will stop beating the horse.

Even, you know... in bed. That's pretty alarming and creepy in my books. That's kinda hot... Think what she could do with those balloons...
#24 boj0 Apr 22, 2009 11:39:30	Deadpool would like to have a word with you
#25 Greater_Lammasu Apr 22, 2009 11:44:52	Deadpool would like to have a word with you
#26 zombie_babies Apr 22, 2009 11:51:28	The only difference is that one moron perishes immediately and the other continues to be a moron until it catches up with him. It's much, much more than that. The psychological motivations alone are vastly different. So are the behaviors. So there. I refuse your offer. Gacy was not a clown. Yeah huh! He was too a clown! :P But it seems the differences in our opinions are fundamentally irreconcilable, so I too will stop beating the horse. Oh yeah, that. Ok. :D
#27 boj0 Apr 22, 2009 11:55:43	I honestly think Deadpool is an over rated character anyway. CLOWNS ARE OVERRATED!!!!
#28 zombie_babies Apr 22, 2009 11:56:49	YOU'RE OVERRATED!!1!11elevnty!1!!
#29 s-marrow Apr 22, 2009 12:22:04	For shame, boj0. How can I have an intelligent, utterly ridiculous debate about clowns with Zombie_Babies and these other fine civilians when you interject a statement with far too many exclamation marks? Honestly, some people. How plebeian. *puts on a monocle and goes off to a fancy costume party for socialites*
#30 dirtyfrank Apr 22, 2009 16:17:40	CLOWNS ARE OVERRATED!!!! Yeah, clowns are no five star entertainment. They're four stars at best.
#31 baneofelves Apr 22, 2009 16:22:31	Clowns aren't even two star entertainment. Unless they're like Sweet Tooth. That's a badass serial killer clown that organizes vehicle gladiator matches for Insane Asylum inmates.
#32 s-marrow Apr 22, 2009 16:42:16	I would argue that the "killer clown" and the "clown" are two different species altogether, much like the drow and the elf. Stupid kids and their emo elves. You bleeders can go and play your twisted metal and hug your Drizzt body pillows. I'm going to go hang with Charlie Chaplin.
