Clown

Clowns have long terrified both children and adults, especially in the 1980s after King created the nightmare-inducing clown Pennywise in the horror novel, It, which was later turned into a movie. Criminologists and psychologists agree the root of the fear lies in the fact that clowns wear heavy makeup and paint extreme emotions on their faces that hide their true identity and feelings.

The clown knifefish, Chitala ornata, is native to Indochina, but has been found in South Florida starting in the 1990s. It is established in Palm Beach and possibly Broward counties, Florida, so it has been identified as an invasive species to Florida. Many clown knifefish in South Florida died during the unusually cold winter weather of 2010 and 2011, but the species now appears to be expanding its range.

The Clown was Charles Mingus' second masterpiece in a row, upping the already intense emotional commitment of Pithecanthropus Erectus and burning with righteous anger and frustration. With Pithecanthropus, Mingus displayed a gift for airtight, focused arrangements that nonetheless allowed his players great freedom to add to the established mood of each piece. The Clown refines and heightens that gift; instead of just writing heads that provide launch points for solos, Mingus tries to evoke something specific with every piece, and even his most impressionistic forays have a strong storytelling quality. In fact, The Clown's title cut makes that explicit with a story verbally improvised by Jean Shepherd (yes, the same Jean Shepherd responsible for A Christmas Story) from a predetermined narrative. There are obvious jazz parallels in the clown's descent into bitterness with every unresponsive, mean-spirited audience, but the track is even more interesting for the free improvisations led by trombonist Jimmy Knepper, as the group responds to Shepherd's story and paints an aural backdrop. It's evidence that Mingus' compositional palette was growing more determinedly modern, much like his increasing use of dissonance, sudden tempo changes, and multiple sections. The Clown introduced two of Mingus' finest compositions in the driving, determined \"Haitian Fight Song\" and the '40s-flavored \"Reincarnation of a Lovebird,\" a peaceful but melancholy tribute to Charlie Parker; Mingus would return to both throughout his career. And, more than just composing and arranging, Mingus also begins to take more of the spotlight as a soloist; in particular, his unaccompanied sections on \"Haitian Fight Song\" make it one of his fieriest moments ever. Mingus may have matched the urgency of The Clown on later albums, but he never quite exceeded it.

The 19-year-old Washington Nationals outfielder quipped, \"That's a clown question, bro,\" to a Toronto TV reporter who asked if he planned to take advantage of Canada's lower drinking age after belting a long home run in a win over the Blue Jays.

1560s, clowne, also cloyne, \"man of rustic or coarse manners, boor, peasant,\" a word of obscure origin; the original form and pronunciation are uncertain. Perhaps it is from Scandinavian dialect (compare Icelandic klunni \"clumsy, boorish fellow;\" Swedish kluns \"a hard knob; a clumsy fellow,\" Danish klunt \"log, block\"), or from Low German (compare North Frisian klönne \"clumsy person,\" Dutch kloen). OED describes it as \"a word meaning originally 'clod, clot, lump', which like those words themselves ..., has been applied in various langs. to a clumsy boor, a lout.\"

Meaning \"professional fool, professional or habitual jester\" is c. 1600. \"The pantomime clown represents a blend of the Shakes[pearean] rustic with one of the stock types of the It[alian] comedy\" [Weekley]. Meaning \"contemptible person\" is from 1920s. Fem. form clowness attested from 1801.

c. 1600, \"to play the clown onstage,\" from clown (n.); colloquial sense of \"to behave inappropriately\" (as in clown around, 1932) is attested by 1928, perhaps from the theatrical slang sense of \"play a (non-comical) part farcically or comically\" (1891). Related: Clowned; clowning.

The Clown Buggy is a semi-agile clown that can be seen riding on a shopping cart in specific zones of the Nightmare. They are commonly found in The Supermarket and are occasionally encountered in The Ballroom and The Theatre.

These \"doctors of delight\" make \"clown rounds\" around the Main Hospital campus, a parody of medical rounds where laughter is the goal and humor is the chief treatment. The clowns use performances such as red nose transplants, kitty cat scans, funny bone exams, music and magic tricks to demystify even the most complicated, serious medical treatments and to support the emotional well-being of children and their families.

Our clowns offer entertainment to children undergoing treatment for life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, accidental injuries, brain tumors, heart problems, craniofacial disorders, spinal cord tumors and malformations, and more.

Fans showed up at Sunday's 2021 season finale against the Indianapolis Colts wearing clown costumes, replete with mustaches in line with Khan's iconic handlebar. The Jaguars \"clown game\" movement got so loud that RoofClaim.com, the title sponsor of Sunday's game, sued to have its name removed.

The outfits came from a Twitter movement where fans changed their profile pictures to mustachioed clown emoji after news came out Khan would retain general manager Trent Baalke. The Jaguars' two-win season saw Urban Meyer fired 13 games into his controversy-filled tenure and Trevor Lawrence show little improvement after being the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

SMITH: \"The second time we ran the play, they played a different zone coverage that gave us a little more room. I shortened it up and ran it at a different angle to more hit it as a post versus the clown. It was a bigger play the second time because of the variation in the route. And for me, I would never run the same route the exact same way. That's one of the reasons it always got screwed up in practice.

FOX: \"We called it X-Clown to make the safety look like a clown. I ran into Jason Sehorn (recently). This subject didn't come up. That's one of those things where when I see him once every three years, I'm not bringing this one up.

The clowns have to wait in line when the traffic light turns red. They have to bumble though the parking lots and wait for each other to back out of parking spaces, because their machines are so bulky that two cannot pass each other in a space less than 20 feet wide. They line up at special events and fight for places to park on the streets. Then they line up at the gas station and the car wash and the oil change shop. And the machines make them fatter and poorer every time they use them.

I like to ride at high speeds up and down country roads. The biggest problems is the clown car operators who either sit behind me revving the engine because their visibility is too poor from the inside of their cages to see oncoming traffic or pass unsafely (for the same reason). Then they go super slowly down the other side, struggling on the windy/narrow sections because their clown car is too big! Some roads are just unsuitable for motorists. People, the car belongs in the junkyard. 59ce067264
