Send in the Clowns!

Where are the clowns?

“We are facing a dire shortage of clowns,” …

The Aqua Jesters, founded in 1946, has shrunk from a steady pool of more than 100 clowns to about 50. The average age is 56, and only about 20 members are active — not nearly enough clowns to meet all the requests from festivals, hospitals and charity events.

Political Read of the Day

Cold Turkey by Kurt Vonnegut Excellent read!

If some of you still haven’t decided, I’ll make it easy for you.

If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal.

If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative.

What could be simpler?

Special thanks to My Likes and Dislikes for the link!

Patotoe Cannon

I’ve been procrastinating on getting permission to reproduce this page so I’ll just post the link. A fantastic read! I’ve played with just such a cannon and they really are awesome … and dangerous! The Splorg Potato Cannon Project

This page chronicles the construction of a potato launcher (potato cannon, spud cannon, spud gun, tator tot bazooka — whatever you want to call it) by a group of friends from Orange County, California.
