A Clown On Fire

Tatooine Clown
Over recent months I have been captivated by the stories of fellow bloggers hosting our favo(U)rite French-Canadian mime in their hometowns and dragging him around to the local attractions. The (mis)adventures of our beloved clown and his Dilaudid sidekick have been knee-slappingly hilarious and entertaining to read. Reading these uproarious tales gave me the itch to … Continue reading
Writing the Internet™
You have to describe (and live) the difficult choices. You have to figure out who you will disappoint or offend. Most of all, you have to be clear about what’s important and what you won’t or can’t do. —Seth Godin, Your manifesto, your culture Bloggers, the internet is ours. That moment you’re sitting in front … Continue reading
A Clown on Fire Reunion
Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity. — Charles Mingus Since the inception of A Clown on Fire, I have cited Andy Kaufman, Alfred Jarry, Monty Python, Woody Allen, George Carlin and Tom … Continue reading
Le Clown Visits A Place Between Cleveland And Akron
When Le Clown asked to visit my stomping grounds, my first question was, “Why?” Then I shrugged and said, “Just understand that I don’t go out much, and I have little time for sightseeing.” Le Clown went off on a rant, something about “magnificence™” and “importance” and “do you know who I am?”, but as … Continue reading
I Can’t Write Worth Shit – The Year of the Snake Edition
*There’s a special announcement at the end of this post. I like games.

The Birth of the Cool
Writing about the life and death of my father proved to be an arduous task. Before tackling The Blues and the Abstract Truth, I revisited previous posts on the man: from his birth in extreme poverty to his tragic death, his life was a sad one. If you were to pick up his biography in … Continue reading
Le Cult of Le Clown
Reblogged from Speaker7: I am a full-fledged carnie, I’ll admit it. I pretty much do the bidding of a French-Canadian clown who can flex a singular ab muscle like nobody’s business. Why do I do this? I think it’s safe to say that I’m in a cult…or rather le cult. Le cult of le clown. … Continue reading

Haikus are the Lowest Form of Puns
I get around a lot; especially on WordPress but nothing like this. I have never been a guest blogger, and comment moderator on a clown’s blog, so when Le Clown asked me ever so kindly to be a guest on his blog…well I said YES. I had no choice really, Le Clown put me on blog … Continue reading
