A clown running for president of the United States is kind of scary too.

My reaction would be one of hysterical, maniacal laughter.

Let's see who's the crazier one.

Grassroots “Kids for Obama Parade” (Organizing)
On Sunday, October 12, Washington State kids and families will parade around Seattle’s Green Lake. “Kids for Obama Parade” will illustrate one of Barack Obama’s core beliefs: Everyone’s voice counts. Join us as Obama’s youngest supporters rally their families and call for change, for a better America. At 2 pm, rain or shine, children and teens will express with words and drawings their hopes for the future of America on “wish flags” that will be mailed to Obama. The first 300 kids will be given a helium balloon, an expression of solidarity. At 3 pm, the “Kids for Obama Parade” will skip, toddle, stroller, rollerblade, pedal, and red-wagon clockwise around Green Lake in a cloud of red, white, and blue balloons and a garland of kid-made wish flags. How to prepare? If possible, bring home-made signs and wear red, white, and/or blue clothing. That goes for moms, dads, big brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, grandparents too. Please spread the word.
Time: Sunday, October 12 at 2:00 PM
Duration: 3 hours
Host: Erika Berg
Location:
Green Lake (Seattle, WA)
beside the Bathhouse Theater
7312 W. Greenlake Dr. N

Seattle hosts an Obama Youth Parade (Malkin)
Yeah! Seattle! Brainwash those tots!

Re-posted from previous thread, because I think it's important.

re: #742 ploome hineni

Also these:

al-Taqiyya part 1, part 2, part 3

Written by a Muslim, for Muslims; all quotes are sourced. The writer states his intention in the second paragraph:

I intend to demonstrate and prove that the concept of "al-Taqiyya" is an integral part of Islam, and that it is NOT a Shi'ite concoction.

Clowns at the circus are scary enough.........now I'll never answer the door at midnight.

Dogpile on the wabbit new thread.

A clown is funny in the circus ring, but what would be the normal reaction to opening a door at midnight and finding the same clown standing there in the moonlight?

"No, why are YOU so serious?"

Too late, they already have.

I guess there is nothing of interest to talk about. Unless we want to take the so called guilty verdict for Palin anything other than a political hatchet job. Well... because.. you know... that is much more important than Obama's relationships with ACORN, Ayers, Rezko, Wright . . . . . .

Swinging fists. Or crying. Depends on who you are.

eeeekkkkkk!

I'd like to take this opportunity to repeat everything I said on the previous thread...

Clowns are disturbing even when they're offering you a hamburger.

I hate clowns.

Clowns should not mistake that as fear.

re: #10 laZardo

"No, why are YOU so serious?"

Eeeek. Blam blam blam. Ooops.

My Church is right near there, we'll be long gone by 2 pm.

I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen. Doing the Werewolves of London. AhhooOOOOoooOOoooOOO.

re: #25 Bobibutu

I always enjoyed riding BART to Walnut Creek. The longest route, and very scenic.

Clowns and bats at midnight are excessively frightening.

Nothing worse than a bad cold. No way to get away from it. Feel better soon.

Funnier actually. Unexpectedness and all.

It looks like this may be a coulrophobia thread.

p.s. I'm not exactly a newly-hatched lizard, but rather, one that has shed old skin for new. Formerly known as wannabuyaduck, with a nod to Joe Penner, I had been thinking for awhile about how I would really like to put up a fox avatar, having always liked foxes with their looks and nature combining something of the dog and something of the cat (when I was a kid it would annoy me that the foxes were almost always the villains in stories and cartoons) -- and nowadays, most of my gainful employment involves qwerty work, so it seemed fitting enough. The question of brown fox or red fox was solved by the fact that though I am in one of the bluest of areas, I have more of a red-state state of mind. So here I am, same lizard but new skin -- not a sock, not a troll!

re: #29 Syrah

Wish you could as this is not a regular event.

re: #24 Syrah

Thanks. I was just thinking about this song the other day.

Who the hell wants to see a clown at midnight? I don't!

Regardless, the Preds have signed all of our good players from last year, and we're looking to kick some major ass this year!

Go PREDS!

I am bored and am looking forward to a new and interesting tech post.

What do you call 535 clowns in one room?
The US Congress.

re: #13 Slumbering Behemoth

Swinging fists. Or crying. Depends on who you are.

Swinging fists, plus crying. LOL

I'm not a professional clown. I don't even like them that much. But I don't loath them. What is it about our society that felt the need to make clowns into our worst nightmare. I shake my head.

So. I went ahead and bought back into the market, today. Just a tiny bit of one stock. It was steadily on the way up before Monday's crash.

Haven't we watched this movie before, in fact a few remakes. It always ends badly doesn't it?

And on a personal note, I found out this evening that I may get laid off the last full week of the month. There's a chance I won't, thanks to my particular training, but it's only a chance right now. In a week I should know for certain one way or the other.

Nevertheless, I'm still able to smile tonight. I'll be able to pay my rent for next month, cover the bills for this month, and I'm going to a gathering of like-minded types tomorrow. Life is... well, let's just say it doesn't suck.

I'm checking out for the night.

If you head straight North for 8 miles you get to my place.

What gender is the clown?
Might be nice in a funny sort of way.

One of my favorites:

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

I've seen quite a few of Lon Chaney, Sr.'s silent movies on TCM. Some of them were quite bizarre. Too bad he died before the full advent of the talkies.

re: #53 Syrah

It's a stock I owned once and sold, then soon regretted it. It just rose and rose. I figure this is my chance to get back into it.

Dude. You should really seek the advise of a financial planner - you and the Mrs., bring the kids - all 17 of them.

A stock here or there might make you rich - or unbelievably f*cking poor.

Get your dollars allocated according to a risk/reward spectrum you're comfortable with, and f*cking leave it there. Update your goals annually. If your planner is reluctant to have an annual meeting, move your dough.

At that range, not too difficult. ;)

Not a chance. My meager funds are all in cash, now. The stock pick is just a dabble. Can't resist a bargain.

I was quality control of a software product. I would break it, write up how I broke it, then the programmers would fix some of the bugs, all the while selling the product like it was ready to roll.

I knew the company was going down the tubes. I was right. Today, they are history.

I love that one too. I was just looking some over:

"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money."

re: #67 winston06

Hola.

Some idiot working as an evil clown in front of some tourist trap in Gatlinburg TN chased my petrified 10 YO daughter down the street last year for fun. I wasn't there with my wife and her at the time. If I had been I would have kicked the clowns ass up and down the street.

Never been a clown fan here.

allright Lizards,it's been grand..may all yer dreams be scaley.

it likely was a contributing factor.

What?

It is also "likely" that Obama knew that Ayers and Dohrn were unrepentant domestic terrorists when he first met them in 1988...
It is also "likely" that Obama was criminally involved with Tony Rezko...
It is also "likely" that Obama's paid surrogate Acorn is heavily involved in voter freud in several swing states...
It is also "likely" that Obama not only knew about Acorns voter freud efforts, but funded them...
It is also "likely" that Obama was sitting in his pew with his wife and children while Reverend Jeremiah Wright was spewing his "hate-whitey", "hate America" rhetoric...
It is also "likely" Nancy Pelosi awarded her husband's company several government contracts illegally...
It is also "likely" that Dianne Finestein awarded her husbands company several government contracts illegally...
It is also "likely" that Obama was working with known Saudi terrorist supporter Dr. Khalid al-Mansour...
It is also "likely" that Obama knowingly sent his Muslim outreach director to meet with Hamas and Hezbollah...

Shall I go continue?

it likely was a contributing factor....

What a crock of far left moonbat bullshit...

Been there, done that. The second full-time IT job I had. Only, I didn't leave of my own volition.

Then again, the jerk who fired me was caught two months later in a monstrous lie, when he told his boss the department's assignment could be done in two weeks. The rank-and-file then told their boss's boss (on their own) that two weeks didn't have enough hours to get the work done... more like six weeks if everyone worked 24/7.

Jerk was gone very shortly after that.
