The video's been pulled. <BR/>Was interested to see it, but then, I'm still recovering from the case of the willies from the clowns I saw at the shrine circus in Nashville last fall. <BR/>They were gawd-awful pitiful and it was, at least for me, painfully embarassing to watch.<BR/>The Shrine's medical mission I admire greatly, however, the business of clowning should be left to those who are actually funny AND professional.<BR/>Hm.. would any pro clowns be willing to do a number posing as shriners? (I imagine that might start a riot in some quarters, or at least set some fez tassles spinning furiously.)Mark Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027854840684555835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-64450338175817682052009-03-24T18:27:00.000-04:002009-03-24T18:27:00.000-04:00No, I suppose I'd never stopped to thank for a mom...No, I suppose I'd never stopped to thank for a moment that they might be interduing the clubs/units.<BR/><BR/>I probably should consider that in the future.Pat Cashinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581680714974752006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-20637383147985624542009-03-24T17:03:00.000-04:002009-03-24T17:03:00.000-04:00did you ever thank that they were interduing the c...did you ever thank that they were interduing the clubs/units.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-47589019867792179642009-03-24T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-24T11:18:00.000-04:00Gary,I vote for "pitch in and fix it"!You don't ha...Gary,<BR/><BR/>I vote for "pitch in and fix it"!<BR/><BR/>You don't have to be Francesco Caroli to turn to a guy with a foam nose held on with duct tape to say, "You know, there's a more effective way to achieve the look that you're going for.

I am sure that all of these Shiners are wonderful people, they do great work and help a lot of kids who find themselves in a horrible way, and they flatter professional and natural born clowns with the greatest complement of all to want to be like y’all. It is also interesting to me that in all these years they have maintained the same standard of awfulness. In their way they help the profession by keeping sharp that line of contrast.Little Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349846971044489337noreply@blogger.com
