Subject: RE: BS: Growing Terrorist Threat in South Americ From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 21 Feb 07 - 10:16 PM Nothing to do with terrorism. When I was a child, I hated clowns. Still do. Maybe I am not alone. |

Subject: RE: BS: Growing Terrorist Threat in South Americ From: dianavan Date: 21 Feb 07 - 11:49 PM Any relation to Cirque Du Soleil? Does that mean if I'm not a clown, I have nothing to fear? |

Subject: RE: BS: Growing Terrorist Threat in South Americ From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 21 Feb 07 - 11:54 PM Quote "One clown was shot in the head as he performed on stage, about an hour into the Circo del Sol's evening show. The second, named as 18-year-old Franklin Leal, from Cucuta, was then shot as he stood by the ticket booth, according to the newspaper La Opinion. The travelling circus had set up in a suburb of Cucuta, capital of Norte de Santander province near the Venezuelan border, about 10 days earlier, the paper says. " a link to "TorontoHispano.com - Cirque du Soleil, mayo 2006" http://www.torontohispano.com/entretenimiento/promos/2006/circodusoleil_may06/main.shtml says "Circo del Sol en Toronto · Encendido 2006 · WinterCity Festival 2006 · Festival de la Pupusa 2005 · Taste of Toronto 2005 · Hispanic Fiesta 2005 ..." |

Subject: RE: BS: Growing Terrorist Threat in South Americ From: heric Date: 22 Feb 07 - 12:49 AM See how this works? It's a case study Little Hawk's moral relativism. To one person the clown killers are terrorists; To another they are avengers of children. And D'Van, first they come for the clowns. Then they come for the banjo players. [etc.] This is REAL. |

Subject: BS: Tough critic From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Feb 07 - 07:24 AM "BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) -- Two clowns were shot and killed by an unidentified gunman during their performance at a traveling circus in the eastern Colombian town of Cucuta, police said Wednesday. The gunman burst into the Circo del Sol de Cali on Monday night and shot the clowns in front of an audience of 20 to 50 people, local police chief Jose Humberto Henao told Reuters. One of the clowns was killed instantly, and the second died the next day in hospital." http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/02/21/colombia.clowns.reut/index.html OK, the next line is: "The killings had nothing to do with the show the victims were performing at the time of the incident," Henao said in a telephone interview. "We are investigating the motive."" But do you have any stories of critics acting out? Threads combined |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: Peace Date: 22 Feb 07 - 09:53 AM "Two clowns were shot and killed by an unidentified gunman during their performance at a traveling circus in the eastern Colombian town of Cucuta, police said Wednesday." That's not funny. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Feb 07 - 09:57 AM Kinda' makes the phrase "Send in the clowns" even more ominous. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: Scrump Date: 22 Feb 07 - 09:58 AM Gunmen killing clowns? The UK government must be really worried about this. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: Peace Date: 22 Feb 07 - 09:59 AM Ottawa will be passing a law soon, IMO. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: Amos Date: 22 Feb 07 - 12:22 PM It's still illegal, I would point out, even though these gunmen did it. And that, as they say, is a Good Thing. If the government were to provide license to kill Clowns, the threads of the Mudcat, just for starters, would be running with gore. Not to mention the streets of Washington, which would be running with Gore, Cheny, Bush, Rover, H and B CLinton and the precious bodily fluids of several thousand other clowns who like to prance around that part of the world.

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: dianavan Date: 22 Feb 07 - 01:28 PM This thread should be combined with Terrorist Threat in South America. Same subject. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: beardedbruce Date: 22 Feb 07 - 01:30 PM But do you have any stories of critics acting out? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Growing Terrorist Threat in South Americ From: dianavan Date: 22 Feb 07 - 01:31 PM Is there a term for clown phobia? I know that some people fear clowns but I can't imagine hating them so much you would want to kill them except, maybe, Ronald McDonald. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic From: GUEST,meself Date: 22 Feb 07 - 01:44 PM I actually saw something very much like this happen once - except that when the gunman fired, a little flag that said Bang! popped out of the gun barrel. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: GUEST,Ernesto Date: 25 Feb 07 - 09:30 PM Colombia has little tolerance for the gay culture OR overt gay like behaviour pushed on them by self righteous Canada and its overly gay friendly political pundits. It is sad this happened but such behaviour isn't the norm in this corner of the world |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Peace Date: 25 Feb 07 - 09:33 PM And for the first fuck-up to post on this thread: The prize goes to Guest Ernesto, a barely literate individual with extreme angst and no balls. Poor guy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: GUEST,meself Date: 25 Feb 07 - 11:17 PM You know, I never made the connection between clowns and gay culture before. Wait a minute, I still haven't made the connection - |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Feb 07 - 12:09 AM Hmm. I was not aware that Canada was pushing gay culture down the throats of Colombians. Shocking! Here I thought our efforts were mainly in regards to getting them to buy 1/6 scale action figures of Royal Canadian Mounted Police... |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 26 Feb 07 - 07:24 AM There used to be a whole web-ring for clown phobics. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Peace Date: 26 Feb 07 - 01:16 PM LH: Did you look closely at what they are doing to the horses? Where DO you think the name Mounties came from? Besides, Ernesto thinks we live on a planet that is cubic. Hence the 'corner' thing he says. This is the twit who slags Canada every chance he gets. Interesting that his posts slip by the folks who look out for trolling by Guests. They are quick to delete some posts but not others. Right now, the whole fuckin' "Thank the clones" thread has made an exit. Gone. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Wolfgang Date: 27 Feb 07 - 08:25 AM Interesting that his posts slip by the folks who look out for trolling by Guests Huh? This GUEST was not nameless, that's why. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: dianavan Date: 27 Feb 07 - 12:53 PM Peace - I think the threads were combined because they were the same topic. |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: dianavan Date: 27 Feb 07 - 01:09 PM Sorry Peace. Wrong thread. I didn't see the Thank the Clones Thread. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Peace Date: 27 Feb 07 - 01:26 PM You probably never will, because I took issue with the notion that all clones deserve to be applauded for their efforts. Someone said they all do. I think that most do. The thread was closed, likely by a clone with whom I took issue. But then, who the fuck knows. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: GUEST,meself Date: 27 Feb 07 - 02:09 PM Okay, I'm confused - are we talking about clones or clowns? And is Peace the "tough critic" (or is he really a marshmellow inside)? And did a thread get shut down or a South American terrorist get shot down? And our self-righteous gay friend Ernesto who was having Mounties (possibly plastic) shoved down his throat - where did he come from and where did he go? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Peace Date: 27 Feb 07 - 04:01 PM "Okay, I'm confused" That's a good sign. The issue is this: On tuesday last a letter arrived that requested my Aunt Mehitabel's recipe for Australian goulash. I TRIED to explain to numb-nuts Ernesto that in Canada we mix the stew by having the RCMP take it with them as they pursue dangerous criminals on horseback. That is, the Mounties are on horseback and the criminals drive SUVs. Anyway, he has problems because he somehow thinks that a Mountie fired his bow unwisely (they use bows and arrows in Canada because we have laws that say people can't have guns except for criminal people who MUST carry guns or else we deport them to Iraq where they make spaghetti westerns on shoestring budgies) and hit his personal Rosie blow-up doll, and now that Rosie won't inflate, neither can he. He didn't mean to be all mad at Canada and the Mounties; it was just the angst resulting from plain ol' fuckin' frustration. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: GUEST,meself Date: 27 Feb 07 - 04:43 PM Okay, NOW I understand - it's all so simple when you put it that way! (Except for the part about the sign ... I can't see that "Okay, I'm confused" is a very helpful or useful sign - maybe if it said, "Beware of confusion", or "Confusion zone", or "Hard Head Zone" ... ) |

Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Peace Date: 27 Feb 07 - 04:49 PM It's like this youyourself who's really memyself but isn't actually MEmyself because I would be Imyeslf and if I was THAT then Imyself would be memyself who is really youyourself and then one of us would be besideourself: Confustion is a good thing to have when you think you know what's going on. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tough critic-clowns shot in Colombia From: Peace Date: 27 Feb 07 - 05:03 PM Confustion is a new word. It is a "mixed-up confusion, and man it's killllllllin' me". (Thank you Mr Dylan.) |
