So, Le Clown decided that it was time to change Lord Evil Poppy’s name to something friendlier…less demonic. I’m down with that, and may have even persuaded Le Clown under threat of death with some gentle prodding.
Le Clown, being the traffic driver that he is, crowdsourced LEP’s new name and turned it into a democratic shitshow process.
Well suck on this, voters. THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY.
So take your hippie idealism and commie love-ins to some place where they indulge in that sort of abomination, like Europe, or Delaware.
I HEREBY RENAME THE TODDLER FORMERLY KNOWN AS LORD EVIL POPPY…
TINY GEEK.
If you don’t like it, go cry to Castro.
It’s a double entendre, you see….
That is the most awesome baby name ever.
Or superhero/supervillain name.
Anyway, as The Mama, you have naming rights, right?
Posted by DeeDee | July 18, 2012, 07:06The Ringmistress,
I’m agreeing with you NOT because there’s a gun pointed at me.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:07Dee Dee, you are a refined woman of exquisite taste.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:11Let it be known that I – at least – voted for a cool name…though not as cool as Tiny Geek.
Posted by meizac | July 18, 2012, 07:12Meizac,
Suck up.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:07Le Clown
That’s the best you’ve got? Pffftt….
Meizac
Posted by meizac | July 18, 2012, 09:21Ignore Le Clown. This is not his coup.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:12I got up at 4:30 a.m. in anticipation of a more eco-friendly name for Lord Evil Poppy Daughter and you didn’t disappoint. I can feel the smooth, calm, trade winds in Cuba whispering her name as I type…”tiny geek, tiny geek, tiny geek….” It’s like a Siren call from the Odyssey, or Clash of the Titans (original, NOT the remake), or some way over-emo song by Sting, or the voice in my head that won’t go away no matter how many Vicodin I pop, or something like that.
Congratulations on telling all of Le Clown’s followers to go fuck themselves,
GG

I haven’t laughed at
someonea comment this loud for a very long time, it was probably that day when I was reading my own comments, randomly.Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:11Awww, Clown. Don’t ever laugh at yourself. Smile and the whole wide world will smile with you. Now try it. See?
What did you say? It didn’t work? Silly clown, you HAVE to stop looking in the mirror!
Posted by Stacie Chadwick | July 18, 2012, 22:31GG,
Fear not… I SMILE when I think/see/talk about myself, and when the whole wide world becomes Le Clown.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 22:39Me too. At least the think/see/talk about myself part.
=)
Posted by Stacie Chadwick | July 18, 2012, 23:40GG, her name is my opus, my crowning achievement, my legacy, my Waterloo, my colonoscopy. Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your Vicodin.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:15I’m cheering you with a double shot of some kind of super-drug right now, Sara. Did you hear that? It was me, spinning around and around in circles trying to turn into Wonder Woman. If that doesn’t work I’m gonna fist bump myself and try the Wonder Twins next. Or wonder bread. Or a wonder bra…or something like that.
Posted by Stacie Chadwick | July 18, 2012, 22:33Who says blondes have all the fun?! You’re a one woman wonderland. You spin girl…spin for all of us.

Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:13Dear Unfettered…you are smart and probably very good-looking based on this comment.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:16The Ringmistress,
Ok. This made me laugh.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:51Ahi na’ma! (translation in Cuban slang: This is it!) I am honored that you have referred it to my adopted Cuba in rEVOLution. Notice the demonic LOVE spelt backwards. You are all nOw Under Poppy’s spell.
The Gypsy was here. (hahahaha… Sinister laugh with Ricky Ricardo accent) I LOVE LUCY.

Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:14Oh Sweet CC, my gypsy queen, I thought you might appreciate that nod.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:18YAY for the Ringmistress! I am glad to see you told Le Clown to suck it!
Viva TG!!

Get it right, I live in dog PISS… The Howler pees on EVERYTHING.
Poo in the house… not so much.

Posted by the howler and me | July 18, 2012, 09:22You make me howl, THAM.
The moral of the story: beware of those whom you give admin access to thine blogs.

Posted by boomiebol | July 18, 2012, 08:04Boomie,
That could be a blog post in itself…
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:17Le Clown wept quietly for a short while, but after an extra-large coffee and some whippits he’s back to his abnormal self.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:24Ha ha ha I can totally see that. Le Clown what say you ?
Posted by boomiebol | July 18, 2012, 09:25Boomie,
Expect a blog retaliation.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 11:04Perfect name! Love a woman who wears the pants!
Posted by Jennifer Worrell | July 18, 2012, 08:10Jenn,
According to Meizac’s post, she doesn’t wear anything…
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:18I don’ t either. Pants are overrated.
Posted by Jennifer Worrell | July 18, 2012, 10:31You are my kind of people.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:06Pants are ALWAYS optional. But yes, I am wearing some at the moment. How did you know?
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:27I know a pair of ass-kicking pants when I read about them:)
Posted by Jennifer Worrell | July 18, 2012, 10:34The Ringmistress needs her own spinoff.

But a Le Clown/The Ringmistress “He Said/She Said” would be lots of fun.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:10That chick is a hack. Pretentious as shit.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:29I refer to be a silent partner, only intervening when necessary. And by intervening, I mean knocking heads together.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:28Hiya Le Clown
Many congrats to ‘Tiny Geek’ for the new name and cheers to all
Love

I had nothing to do with “Tiny Geek”, nor with buying quinoa for supper.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:24Oopsie daisy… how could I make a mistake… Le Clown, many apologies, In my own effed up situation I didn’t realize… can you not change the name – I mean by mutual consent with the Ring Mistress? Both of you deserve equal rights… well technically fathers have more rights… I must take my congrats back
p.s was awaiting one of those voted names previously in your posts?
Posted by quod1me4nutrit1me9destruit | July 18, 2012, 09:32Tiny Geek thanks you. I might have to make her an outfit for the occasion. Or at least a hat.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:30Apologies but I thought it was mutually decided and agreed to
teehee 
Posted by quod1me4nutrit1me9destruit | July 18, 2012, 09:34That happens occasionally when I let Le Clown help me with making decisions. It makes him feel grown up. But this is not one of those times. Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned overthrowing?
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:36True that Sara, just saw your sketches and drawing, totally impressed, stay blessed
Love x
Posted by quod1me4nutrit1me9destruit | July 18, 2012, 10:00I like you. xo

Posted by Adrienne schmadrienne | July 18, 2012, 09:19Adrienne,
Right… Coming from someone who finds “golf” entertaining…
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:29Those effing hippies and their “civil rights” and mutherhumpin’ “equality”. They can’t even shower themselves! No equality for them.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:32Sara, this is perfect and the drawing — LOVE IT. You’ve picked the perfect name. Yay! Your benevolent power overruled Le Clown.
Posted by Brigitte | July 18, 2012, 09:31Thank you, Extremely Wise and Beautiful Brigitte.
It’s hard being this benevolent all the time, but I carry on, for the sake of the world.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:34The Rinmistress,
You are so “clowning” it… Stop building your readership the way I did…Le Clown

Learn how to spell.

Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 09:53I hear you sister, but someone has to do it.
You pretty darn wise and beautiful yourself btw.

Posted by Val | July 18, 2012, 09:39Val,
Cutlery.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:41It’s a place in American Mythology where it all began. Like Eden, but for the U.S. It has yet to be proven to exist.
Posted by saradraws | July 20, 2012, 11:40It must be lonely…
Posted by Val | July 24, 2012, 12:09I have no idea what you’re talking about in this post, being a first-timer and all, but it totally made me laugh! Delaware. Must read more… love the blog title, too!
Posted by Laura | July 18, 2012, 09:54Laura,
Welcome on A Clown on Fire. My wife, The Ringmistress, has taken over my blog. These posts should help you get a bit of perspective:
1. “From this moment on, you shall now be known as Sharkbait”;
2. Obama is the Clear Choice, But Let’s Vote for Poppy’s Moniker
3. And there is of course my wife’s brilliant blog (gun pointed at my head).
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 09:59OH, thank you litter sniffer and clown aflame! I look forward to catching up on what I’ve been missing. Yay! Will check out both–
Happy,
Laura
Posted by Laura | July 18, 2012, 21:41Welcome indeed, Laura. Ignore Le Clown. He’s huffing cat litter again.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 10:22Well, I was rooting for either Poppet or Poppy Metal Petal, but I can live with Tiny Geek. I like how the drawing combines the circus geek + non-circus geek themes.
But there’s no fucking way the good people of Delaware are practicing that hippy shit. That’s our first state—they have an image to maintain.
Posted by Madame Weebles | July 18, 2012, 10:10Mme, everyone knows that Delaware is an imaginary place…where all the commie-hippies live.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 10:24Can’t figure out why I wasn’t adopted by LeClown and RingLady years ago.
They weren’t born yet? Maybe. Probably.
Just sayin’….it would have been a better fit…
Posted by jotsfromasmallapt | July 18, 2012, 10:16I don’t think there’s a time limit on adoption. We’ll get the papers together.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 10:24I’m so excited….!! New name. New city. New country….
Whew….so much to do…and…what to do with my kids???
Posted by jotsfromasmallapt | July 18, 2012, 11:04Are they old enough to work (3 yrs)?
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:08Mentally or physically?
Posted by jotsfromasmallapt | July 18, 2012, 11:49Cheaply.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:52Truly there isn’t a time limit to adoption. My 25 year old son informed me last week the paperwork had been filed for him to be adopted by his parents of choice. Seriously.
Posted by Human In Recovery | July 18, 2012, 18:10What’s this? Drive thru parents? Order what you want off the menu and pay a the window. Thank you, come again.
Posted by saradraws | July 20, 2012, 11:42That’s funny. He actually lived with them during his last year and a half of high school. It’s a long and complicated story. Anyway, sorry for the delay in responding. Not sure how I missed your reply.
Posted by Human In Recovery | July 29, 2012, 16:10It ain’t easy running the universe. I understand.
Posted by saradraws | July 29, 2012, 18:10
Posted by Human In Recovery | July 29, 2012, 18:12Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! (That was me gracefully accepting defeat.) Tiny Geek is a good name too.
Posted by Fish Out of Water | July 18, 2012, 10:45Dear FOOW, you and Le Clown have similar ways of dealing with defeat, only Le Clown also whimpered. Did you two call each other and plan this? You guys…
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:01I whimpered as well, but was too embarrassed to post that part.
Posted by Fish Out of Water | July 18, 2012, 11:02A harsh yet clever post, veiled as a ‘name-announcement’…when in actual fact it was an outright attack on Europeans and its hippified citizens.
…and you almost got away with it Le Clown…but I spotted it.
Pssst…keep fighting the good fight…the lefties need a right good seeing to!!!
Posted by slapppshot | July 18, 2012, 10:56Le Clown wishes he could overthrow a blog.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:02Castro isn’t returning my calls.
Posted by calahan | July 18, 2012, 10:59He gets very busy stroking his beard. What about Mao?
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:03Le Calahan,
Your wife isn’t even returning your calls. Why would you expect Castro to do so? It’s your hair.
Le Clown
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 11:05Le Clown,
like you should talk.
RM
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:09My wife actually returns Castro’s calls, so maybe you’re onto something. Je me sens si seul.
Posted by calahan | July 18, 2012, 11:24That is much better than any of the garbage we came up with.
Posted by Kathy V. | July 18, 2012, 11:07Dear Kathy V.
Are you really a nun? If so, you are the best nun I have ever known.
RM
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:10Dear RM,
I am married to a human man who is not Jesus, and we have a baby together. But yes, I am the best nun you have ever known.
Kathy
Posted by Kathy V. | July 18, 2012, 11:13Married? Baby? Well, ok, just don’t make it a habit. GET IT!? HABIT!!??
Oh my…I’ve been living with Le Clown too long.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 11:18RM,
Kathy is a nun who likes to show her boobs in public, in front of kids, in the name of lactating mammaries… Just sayin’…

Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 14:06Le Clown is a true man: not only does he breast feed, he allows someone else to wear the pants. But it is a good name, indeed.
Posted by Carrie Rubin | July 18, 2012, 13:04Manliest man to ever man.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 14:06I would have voted for Le Tiny Geek.
Posted by lameadventures | July 18, 2012, 13:09Because you are a person of brilliance and integrity.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 14:07
Posted by lameadventures | July 18, 2012, 14:18I don’t even think that was an option to vote on. I like it.
Posted by nevercontrary | July 18, 2012, 14:21You’re right. Voting is for losers, so I have declared myself as ruler of … whatever this is.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 14:39NC,
When I first met The Ringmistress, we quickly became friends on Facebook. On one of her pictures, the caption said: Queen of Fucking Everything.
The Ringmistress – reliably offensive since 2008.

Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 17:50I think I like this benevolent dictatorship you’ve set up here, Ringmistress.
It is benevolent, right?
And it’s an excellent new name you’ve chosen!
Posted by El Guapo | July 18, 2012, 16:58Benevolent-ish.
And I thank you. You shall not be banished with the defiant Carnies.
Posted by saradraws | July 18, 2012, 17:51Ringmistress,
The most effective governments have always been male clown puppets who were being guided by the strong, benevolent and right guidance of the women beside them. Also, the naming of a human should never be left up to groupthink and popular competition. Good Show.
Le Clown,
You are a wise, courage filled, and wildly evolved to understand and submit to the Ringmistress’ rule.
Just sayin’
Blessings to you all,
Kina
Posted by Human In Recovery | July 18, 2012, 18:27And you shall be my most trusted advisor, HIR.
You get to use a sword!

Posted by Human In Recovery | July 18, 2012, 20:17As much as I admire and respect Le magnificent Clown, I love that you took over this post and steam rolled any and all voting system that had been put into place to rename LEP. I love the new name. Tiny Geek. Vraiment Moderne.
Posted by writerwendyreid | July 18, 2012, 20:52I think I should ride a steam roller instead of a car when touring my queendom. Thanks for the suggestion.
Posted by saradraws | July 20, 2012, 11:46Geez! Look at all the comments here. I have nothing to add except to ask, “How do you change your banner everyday?”

PS: Another way is -> Dashboard -> Appearance -> Header -> Upload a few headers and choose -> Random. Not all WP templates allow this, though…
Posted by clownonfire | July 18, 2012, 21:17TINY GEEK . I like it. Mothers know best.

Posted by saradraws | July 20, 2012, 11:36I like how you promote Tiny Geek… biting the head off a chicken, it’s like that girl, er that rockstar.. er Alice! Tiny Geek Cooper!
Posted by Ink. [Anette] | July 21, 2012, 21:28That guy totally stole Tiny Geek’s tricks…by coming into the future, then retuning to the past, and making it seem like he thought of it first. Or something…
Posted by saradraws | July 22, 2012, 19:41Sneaky… is that what they call “copy & past”?
Posted by Ink. [Anette] | July 23, 2012, 07:45How’d you get so smart?

Posted by Ink. [Anette] | July 24, 2012, 08:47Ringmistress & Le Clown,
It suddenly occurred to me in the midst of my insomnia surfing that a previous post of mine had referred to Mistress Tiny Geek by her former misnomer. That has been corrected. My apologies for the delay.
Kina
Posted by Human In Recovery | July 24, 2012, 08:15Well done, Number One. There is a 2 week transition period that will forgive any flubs, but after that, there will be blood.
