YSaC, Vol. 1265: The fears of a clown …

2012 June 1

Rare beautiful piece!!


Beautiful art piece! Only for a true collectors. MAKE OFFER. NO LOW BALLING! By email or phone : xxx xxx-xxxx


Up to this point in my life, I have successfully avoided coulrophobia. But no more. Oh, sure, it looks innocent enough, with its hair that appears to be sculpted from some Pepperidge Farm cheese log and its dead eyes … but I’m pretty sure that I will never sleep again. The more I look at it, the more I’m convinced that that is a ring of blood around its mouth from where it has been feasting on the souls of small children, and that the lace ruffle collar is really just a bib.

Thanks, Scott!

      With that board where it is, there will be no low balling regardless.

      It’s a beautiful morning here in the corner.

        There is 7 levels of hell wrong with this piece. That phallic stick/stick-up-the-butt is 2 levels right there.

        I guess since no one else will touch this monstrosity carved from spray foam insulation and children’s nightmares, it decided to take matters into its own hands.

        What is the meaning of “scared shitless”? Does it mean you’re so scared you can’t shit? I think “scared shitty” would make more sense. At least, that’s how my bowels work.

          Ah! One I can finally field semi-intelligently: when your body goes into fight or flight response, peristalsis is less necessary, less water is used in the intestines, more for sweat.

          Also, the origin of “shitting bricks” as less water gets into the colon as a result of fight or flight.

          I understood the phrase came from observation of birds, who “drop ballast” when startled. Which, from the avian perspective is good in that less weight is less weight, and the droppings are a potential toxin/ink cloud/irritant to predators.

          Or some such.

    Oh I got some strings to help me stalk,
    to help me creep,
    to help me kill.
    I had strings,
    but now I’m free,
    to chase you in your dreams.

    Hi-ho the me-ri-bowls,

    Just like ol’ Gacy did,
    I try to keep the bodies hid.
    Hanging from these strings I fly,
    then creep into your room and tie
    the knots of a clown
    when there’s no one around.

    In other craigs list news, A Boise, Idaho man was arrested today for offering sex with a 3 year old girl on craigslist. A search of his home revealed he had child porn on his computer along with videos of men having sexual contact with children.
