Can't we all play nice? PM Mama and UF_Pike, to your corners. :D

This is an exerpt from an oldie but goodie from imsohappythatima. It is hands down the funniest thing I have ever read in my life!

Let me tell you a few clown stories.

(1) When I was a kid, this guy who lived down the street from us was home during the day (he was home, sick), and someone rang his doorbell. He got up to see who it was, and there was a clown standing at his door. So he opened the door, and the clown shot him in the face, point blank, and killed him. Turns out that the clown was a hitman, and went to the wrong address . .. this kept me up nights as a child.

(2) Poltergeist. That damn crocheted clown doll pulls the little girl under the bed, and won't let her up again. Horrifying.

(3) The movie, "It." That Pennywise is enough to send me to the hospital, I swear to God. Once I had to lie down on the floor and breathe into a bag because I was flipping through the channels and there was that darn clown Pennywise flapping his big lips. It's giving me the sweats just thinking about it now.

(4) John Wayne Gacy. Don't bring that one up. Ugh. The horror.

(5)That clown in the background of the Christina Aquilera "What a Girl Wants" video. La-la-la, nice video, Christina and gal pals dancing, and then WHAM!!! Big scary clown mannequin the the background! Utterly uncalled for and upsetting! I can't watch that video, because I never can remember which part has the clown in it, and it always sneaks up on me and scares the poo out of me. Ugh.

(6) Clowns hiding the crowd. Why are they always doing that? Like just this morning, I was watching the Today show, and jolly Al Roker is out there shaking hands with the crowd, and the camera is panning faces in the crowd, and them WHAM! There is a big clown face. What's up with that? I don't need that kind of stress in the morning! I spilled my coffee all over my blouse and had to change my outfit. Darn those clowns!

(7) Okay, here is the funniest. You won't believe that my fiance is marrying me after you read this one! When he and I were first dating, he took me to Chicago for a special weekend, and we went to the Museum of Art there, which is incredible. As we made our way toward the Modern Art wing of the museum, we kept hearing this bizarre moaning that was on a loop tape. It just moaned over and over. So we heard this moaning for maybe 30 minutes, and it was driving me crazy, so I said, "Hey, let's go see where that moaning is coming from--it's probably performance art, or something." Now, my fiance doesn't like performance art, but he went with me, and we found the source of the moaning. It was like this little fun house of mirrors, and you had to go into it and push this button, and a film (plus the moaning soundtrack would start up). I was feeling kind of romantic, because it was a dark little secluded area, and I was smooching my fiance (then boyfriend) in this little hall of mirrors-like place when he hit the button, and all of a sudden--I KID YOU NOT--on about 15 screens all around me, were different movies of clowns. A clown getting run over by a bus. A clown sitting on toilet, taking a dump. A clown biting a man's nose off. A clown punching another clown in the stomach. Those are the only ones I can remember, but there were more. And the wailing, my God, the wailing! So I immediately start to cry and hyperventilate. I had not told my then-boyfriend about my clown psychosis, and so he grabs me by the shoulders and shakes me to see what is wrong .. . and I throw up all over him, and then pass out in a slump on the floor. To sum up the rest of the story, he has to drag me out of the hall of mirrors thing, and lay me out on the floor in the middle of the art museum, and an ambulance comes and gives me oxygen. It was HORRIBLE! The most embarassing moment of my adult life.

OMG, I'm dying all over again just rereading this!!!

LOL! The clown stories were great!

ps: I hate clowns, too.

If a simple statement of someone's opinion can provoke you to say something like that, I think you have deep-rooted issues. Did you REALLY think that people would take that as a joke?? ESPECIALLY in the context of that thread?? :eek:

As far as being a good person, and favorite in your sorority, that's great for you. No need to try to pitch it to us here on GC, though, after all, it is only the internet, right?

Saying what you feel in-person... I just hope that if you EVER have the discussion about "prejudism" in person that: a) you have educated yourself considerably, and b) if not, that the people are as intelligent/non-violent as MOST of us here on GC. I am almost POSITIVE that if someone had made the statement that neicy81 did, and you had the same reaction in person, a beat-down would have ensued.

Depends on who she said it to, lol. MOST people would not be violent.

I do know some folk who would have smacked her upside the head though. Just that mama-slapped-you kind of hit, you know? Hurts your pride more than your head mostly.

Were one of my acquaintances (I'm sorry but I don't expect to ever hear those words come out of my friends mouth- and we're a biiiiiig, mixed, determinedly non-PC group) to say that in the context of a serious discussion on race I would probably have just had to stop talking to them. Immediately. After picking my jaw off the ground that person would be classified as not someone I'd waste my time with, conversation over. No need to show my ass because they showed theirs.

Anyway, sorry if you feel I'm picking on you, but you MUST admit PM Mama, that that statement BELONGS in the GCers say the darndest things thread...

And I don't really hold it against you- I think you're rather funny actually, it's just not in my nature to let stuff like that go! Call it a flaw but when people show their ass I remember, and I will have jokes about it FOREVA.

LOL! Yeah! Like that dude Steven slapped that one chick on the Real World Seattle. Pop!

As for my personal response, I probably would have lost my temper and commenced with the verbal assault, but my fighting days are over, lol.

Listen. I do not have anything against you personally. I do not KNOW you. I DO have issues with some of your views and posts. We were not talking about how we would slap you. We were speaking on general terms. Don't get sensitive NOW, lol.

As far as your convo with this intellectual black male. I for one, do not care. I don't know his mental capacity, only that he is being measured by YOUR standards. So it really doesn't matter. All we on GC know is what you post. What you post is your TRUE thoughts, remember? You said it. When this intellectual black male comes to post his thoughts or even to validate yours, then that will mean something. Until then, it is pretty insignificant really.

Is this to become another continuance of the "Prejudism" thread?

Please say no:D

I can't believe none of you bothered to include this one yet!
 

Since it's obvious that ya'll don't know how to stay on topic.. :rolleyes: :D

Billy, where the hell are you? Is old Woodie still alive or did he finally bite the dust? Har de har har!!! :D

rofl OTW! I forgot all about that thread. That was very memorable!

yeah that was definately a great thread..but hands down all time favorite has to be 'ho be lookin like predator" i dont think i've ever laughed so hard while reading GC..

Re: I can't believe none of you bothered to include this one yet!
 

I was wondering the same thing, I am waiting for the day he and UF_Pike crosses each other's path. :D
