We were invited to an afterparty and we were assured that it would be mellow. After stopping for beer at a gas station with a loudly playing police scanner, we arrived at the party. There were a couple of guys in the yard playing catch with an ax.

The artist took us on a tour of his garage studio. Instead of clowns, the motif seemed to have changed from clowns to mangled bloody baby dolls. Baby dolls impaled on antlers. Baby dolls embedded into dashboards. All viewed to the spoken word recordings of a collaborative effort called Big Snuff and a 10-year old kid in clown makeup separating the clear ice from the cloudy ice in the beer tub.

It's very possible that I ended up at that same after party, though it was located at the Museum of the Weird in the Heights and it was Halloween night. At one point I was handcuffed to a girl gone wild. Was there by any chance a pyromaniac at the after party?

After the party ended, we toured Waco looking for a hotel. No rooms were available because of a skeet shooting tournament in town that weekend.

I bet you anything that Billie Bisset from Ledbetter won the woman's division in the skeet shooting competition. She's amazing. Same thing happened to me in Clovis, New Mexico, except it was a gem show AND a base ball card convention in town. I slept in my car that night and it was freezing cold. My usually reliable cheap mexican serape failed me.

So Much For The Duet

Hide the children in LA! A Chicago judge has given singer R. Kelly permission to come to LA to attend the Grammys ceremony.

One of the conditions of his travel, however, is that he not associate with Michael Jackson while there...

I clearly budgeted enough for a case of Stoli and whatnot.* No problem here.

*In honor of Wonkette, I'm going to be using the phrase "and whatnot" quite a bit here for the remainder of the week. You may ignore or Ignore as appropriate.

The link was about an avalanche hitting a train in the Rockies. I'm not sure a whole case of Stoli would be enough to salvage that week.

mind of the Married Man was way worse than Arlis. MotMM sucked as a premise, as well as realized, at least for some of the reasons Sebastina mentioned. Arlis only sucked as realized.

I don't see why you are so stressed out. Is the license plate on the car in AdL's thingy a Maryland plate?

Coulrophobia

Quote:

from site:
If you are living with Clown Fear, what is the real cost to your health, your career or school, and to your family life? Avoiding the issue indefinitely would mean resigning yourself to living in fear – missing out on priceless life experiences big and small – living a life that is just a shadow of what it will be when the problem is gone.

For anyone earning a living or at school, the financial toll of this phobia is incalculable. Living with fear means you can never concentrate fully and give your best. Lost opportunities. Poor performance or grades. Promotions that pass you by. Clown Fear will likely cost you tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime –– let alone the cost to your health and quality of life. Now Clown Fear can be gone for less than the price of a round-trip airline ticket, or a few weeks of drugs or conventional therapy.

(emphasis added)

Come on, it's not that bad.

Besides, the site defines Coulrophobia as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of clowns," (emphasis in the original) so clearly it doesn't apply. My fear in not unwarranted. Clowns are fucking scary.
