Dear Mom and Dad,
Sorry it’s been so long since I last wrote. Madrid is still great! I love the people here! This morning on the metro there were a bunch of clowns, passing out brochures and joking with passengers. You know, doing the things clowns do.
Like, this one clown had a long white stick and he was going up some stairs acting like he was blind! Criminy! I laughed until I… well you know, actually I didn’t laugh. What on Earth is supposed to be funny about that, anyway? Don’t they get what clowns are supposed to do?

It could be worse.
- Posted by Lady WeaselI am more than convinced that these mime-type clowns have no life. They seem to be on some sort of soul saving crusade where the point lies somewhere between I have absolutely nothing else better to do with my time on earth and I want to annoy people as much as possible because my parents didn’t buy a Slinky when I was 7.
AND, I’ve never seen a hot looking clown chick that hits on you. Why can’t there be more of those?
- Posted by Nocturnal BobHey, I agree with everything you say except the last part. Apparently you’ve never been to a clown bar. I went to one once. Cripes! Painted women with way too much makeup. They all wear flowers on their lapels, and when you bend over to admire them, well….
- Posted by Robert BaslerI don’t know how to say this, Bob, but that wasn’t a “clown” bar …
- Posted by John C AbellOh. Damn.
- Posted by Robert BaslerThe name of that bar wasn’t the Blue Oyster, was it? If so, then those aren’t clown chicks…(reference to the movie Police Acadamy)
- Posted by Nocturnal BobYou have to hope Spain will slide off about the same time California does.
