Have you taken your meds today?

Reblogged from Black Box Warnings: Does your partner ask you that infuriating question when you’re already running late: “Where did I put my keys?” I hear it all the time. Not just occasionally. Every. Single. Day. And is your partner really annoying? They catch you and tickle you and you can’t get away and it … Continue reading »

Jealousy and a Father's Love

Reblogged from Black Box Warnings: I run.  Ok, honestly, I think about running while walking around my neighborhood in San Francisco.  This is a green city as you might know.  We compost everything here.  But when I’m walking/thinking about running, I’m green—not in the way you think, not in the same way as my fascist … Continue reading »

My Limp Dick in a Box Has Facebook-Blue Balls

It is time to remove the cock ring from the Dick in a Box concept, and allow the flow of blood to nurture other ideas… It was good while it lasted, wasn’t it, Jen, Gemini Girl and Meizac? But Le Clown gets bored easily… Just ask Sock Monkey… On with new toys.

A Word From the Author

Hi! My name is Eric. I’m the guy behind Le Clown. I’m a French-speaking Montrealer. I don’t live in an igloo, and I’m not really a clown. I just play one on the blogosphere. In my real life, I don’t refer to myself in the third person. I’m happily married, and I have two kids. … Continue reading »

Cool Kids

Reblogged from Laments and Lullabies: I fucking hated the years between 5 and 15. 16 to 25 were hit and miss. Now I’m 34 and I think I’m getting the hang of it. Maybe. I had a few things working against me when I was growing up (who didn’t?). I was a tall, strong girl, from a … Continue reading »
