Local clown dispels evil clown myths
Local guy John Coppin has an occupation that is often more feared than the dentist and more hated than car salesmen.
Coppin as Mr. Hocus/submitted photo
He’s a clown.
Before you run for cover, just hear him out. He’s here to dispel the myth that clowns are evil and to prove clowns are people, too.
“All clowns are not Ronald or Bozo,” he said. “We are your next door neighbor. Always be wary if you do not know who the clown is, but the John Wayne Gacys are the minority of the clown world. We are to be laughed at and with all in fun.”
Coppin, 53, got into performing more than 30 years ago, and not by attending some fancy Florida clown college but the old fashioned way.
“I went to the school of hard knocks,” he said, “and also had great mentors who showed me ideas.”
Picking his career – which he loves because he gets to make people feel good – wasn’t a tough decision.
“I think I always was a bit of a clown,” he said. “I just had to put on the nose and Mr. Hocus was born.”
Mr. Hocus is the stage name for Coppin’s clown, one that has never scared a youngster – or adult – and one that regularly encounters magical situations in his acts.
“Mr. Hocus is a magic clown,” he said. “The magic happens to him, quite like Emmett Kelly did with the spotlight. He is having the magic occur to him not from him.”
One of world-famous clown Emmett Kelly’s signature act was sweeping up the spotlight on the stage until it actually disappeared.
Coppin the magician/submitted photo
Coppin’s magic career dates back to age 15, when he appeared as the Magic Magician of Christmas at a Wisconsin H.C. Prange department store.
He then took to performing at his high school, local shows in his Wisconsin hometown, and eventually bigger and more populated events. He ended up in moving to Marana last year, where he lives with his wife Carol and dog Frito.
Carol is so supportive of clowns – and Coppin’s act – that she even helps out at events with his forte of balloon sculpting.
Unlike other professions, Coppin said, the clown world is not known for being petty, competitive or stabbing each other in the back – unless it’s with a balloon or something.
“Clowns have no big rivals, really,” he said. “They work well with everyone.”
Yes, even mimes. In fact, the original clowns were more like mimes than the colorful performers we see today.
“They never spoke and the makeup was the whiteface,” he said. “The circus clown became a new idea in the early days of the traveling show, being brighter for the smiles.”
Sure, he’ll admit, some kids have been known to be scared of the whiteface or other clown makeup they find strange. The fears are often fueled by things like the movie “It.”
The 1990 Stephen King flick features the demonic Pennywise, a creature dressed as a clown that terrorizes a small town in the 1960s.
“I always think that the movie ‘It’ caused a lot of problems for clowns,” Coppin said. No, it’s not accurate. No, not all clowns are evil. And no, clowns never come barreling out of toilets.
“Only small cars,” he said.
If you’re still wary, Coppin offers additional advice on how to overcome a fear of clowns.
“Get to know one,” he said, “or better yet find your inner clown and let it out. Laughter is always a great way to find your inner clown and enjoy it.”

Odd Pueblo: Snappy or crappy?
This fun Odd Pueblo feature asks the audience to rate a trend, topic or sighting of something around town: is it snappy or crappy?
The last snappy or crappy, a groovy Volkswagen bus, was definitely cruising on snappy.
The latest snappy or crappy may not be so snappy for some: positive reinforcement graffiti.
This graffiti was snapped at Lakeside Park, right before I had to put the camera away to chase Sawyer and Phoebe out of the water.
Happy graffiti at Lakeside Park/Photo Ryn Gargulinski
While it’s not very artistic per se, it is kind of refreshing to see a positive message scrawled on cold concrete amidst debris.
Yes, graffiti is illegal and often very crappy. No, I did not paint this.
Some graffiti, like those really cool murals that once graced many New York City subway trains, can also be quite artistic.
Whee!/Ryn Gargulinski
We’re not talking swear words or illegible tags, but graffiti that actually enhances a structure or mood.
Positive reinforcement messages, which some of us chant or tape to our bathroom mirrors, can really change your attitude and outlook.
Does this graffiti do it for you?

The good, the bad, the ugly: Pumpkin winner, Paranormal Activity review and demonic possession
What do pumpkins, demons and a really crummy movie have in common? They are all mentioned in this post. Enjoy.
AZMouse's prize mini sugar skull/Art and photo Ryn Gargulinski
The good
Congrats to AZMouse for winning TC.com’s Pumpkin Decorating Contest. Her scary scarecrow and coyly peeking pumpkin took the win with 39 percent of the 33 votes. Jennatoolz’s Hungry Demon was a close second with 36 percent, while entries from KoreyK and Radmax tied at 12 percent each.
Thanks so much to all who entered their creative creations. Sawyer says AZMouse wins Rynart — a mini sugar skull named Terry Jr., which I fashioned after the Terry Sr. skull she admired in a previous post (unless, of course, she would prefer burnt pumpkin seeds).
__
The bad
Paranormal Activity has been running away with box office sales. More than 1 million folks voted for the movie to go nationwide after its debut as a midnight-only flick in limited areas. Roger Ebert calls it “an ingenious horror film. It’s so well made it’s truly scary.”
Are folks so used to today’s incredibly wide array of crappy films that Paranormal Activity actually looks good?
This flick features a young couple who have enough cash to buy a house in San Diego although they never seem to go to work. They are too busy playing around with a video camera to try and capture the evil force they believe is invading their home and has been following the chick around her whole life. Ninety-nine percent of the movie is watching them sleep – or at least try to.
Even if the stars of the flick can’t sleep as some invisible, three-toed demon tramps through talcum powder down their hallway, the audience certainly can.
Paranormal Activity is truly a yawn. Yes, the premise is thrilling – what’s not to like about the possibility of demonic possession? But the execution is not. In fact, you kind of hope there will be an execution to speed things up a bit.
Perhaps that’s a bit unfair. The audience does stay awake. It’s hard to sleep, after all, when we were treated to that same choppy, disoriented, and headache-inducing camera work that has unfortunately become so popular following the Blair Witch Project.
You know the stuff: unfocused images, zooms to the corner of the ceiling, watching people’s torsos while they speak since the camera just so happens to be focused on their abdomens rather than their faces. It’s enough to make you seasick.
Highlight: Hope. Hope is the only thing keeping the audience alive. You hope something will soon happen. You hope you’ll get to see the three-toed demon. You hope this thing is winding down already.
Lowlight: Not being able to take a bathroom break since you don’t want to miss the possibility of some three seconds of action that you hope will happen soon.
Another lowlight: Rumor has it Paramount is talking about a sequel. Jaws 5, anyone?
Rating (1 to 10): 3.
While it’s not the worst movie I’ve seen lately, we are still annoyed we didn’t opt for our second choice about the weed-eating zombies.

Demonic possession may sound fun but really isn't/Art and photo Ryn Gargulinski
The ugly
Demonic possession, although a thrilling concept, is not a very pretty thing. It’s quite rare, but common enough to pay attention. Below please find several warning signs of demonic possession taken from the very lengthy lists at Foundation for the Study of Paranormal Phenomena.
The site also warns: “Never mention to someone undergoing personality changes that they might be possessed. You can plant a dangerous seed by doing that.”
You may also offend them, no?
Hey, Ethel, you’re not acting like your usual self. Are you maybe possessed by a demon?
Warning signs of demonic possession:
Changes in personality, sleep patterns, weight gains or loss, lots of cussing, preoccupation with sex and aversion to religious objects or going to church.
Bad hygiene, change in what they eat or how they dress, outbursts of violence and hurling cats against the wall, nightmares and peeing on themselves.
Change in eye color, hair color, facial features, a habit of “gliding” along instead of walking, suddenly blessed with many talents, such as moving objects around a room, speaking languages they never studied or being able to levitate.
Have a nice day.
What do you think?
Did you see Paranormal Activity? Are you going to?
Is it worth all the hoopla?
What’s the best demonic movie possession you’ve seen?
Did you ever meet someone possessed by a demon?

All Souls Procession wows once again – slide show and poem
Taking photos of Tucson’s annual All Souls Procession is like owning dogs or eating salted peanuts – you certainly can’t stop at just one.
Don’t fret, as I shan’t post all 195 photos I snapped of the event, but I will give you my top 40 as the phrase has a ring to it.
Yes, I’m a photo junkie. But it’s much healthier than heroin.
Enjoy. My beau and I certainly did. Now I have Monday off to recover from the festivities and staying up late to post these photos.
 |  |  |
The procession kicked off at Epic Cafe, at Fourth Avenue and University Place, and culminated at the Franklin Street docks.
I ended up with only one photo of the Tucson Citizen newspaper gang, as I was too busy waving to all those Citizen folks I dearly miss – and getting a big hug from a dapperly yet deathly dressed Renee Schafer-Horton. She makes a cute corpse. Good job on the tribute, guys. I miss your laughter.
BONUS: ALL SOULS PROCESSION POEM
EMBRACEABLE CORPSE
a cute corpse hugged
me on Sunday night as I
drank in the All Souls
Procession she left white
makeup on my chin and –
it was quite an honor to
connect with the souls of the
dead – who thrive on the
other side – where we’re
stripped down of flesh
blood and limb and –
left with what
really
matters.

So, were you among the thousands who enjoyed the Sunday evening procession?
What was your favorite costume/outfit/puppet/sight?
Did you see the three legged dog?
What death would you or did you honor in the procession?

Pumpkin uses, abuses and contest entries – VOTE for your fave
Pumpkins are great for a number of things that go far beyond Halloween. In fact, you can even kill a kid with one. Here are six ways of looking at these funky orange gourds:
Art and photo Ryn Gargulinski
As artistic expression –
Check out the artistry of some fabulously talented TC.com readers who sent entries into our Pumpkin Decorating Contest. The slide show below showcases their creativity and the poll is open for votes through Saturday Nov. 7. Winner will receive a yet-to-be-created piece of creepy Rynart.
As protection –
Jack-o-lanterns came about not because people wanted to enter pumpkin decorating contests, but rather as a form of protection.
Legend has it this guy named Stingy Jack played a few trick on the devil and, when Jack died, would not be admitted into either heaven or hell, according to History.com.
The devil gave the guy a piece of burning coal and told him to go wander the earth for eternity. Jack carried around the coal piece in a hollowed-out turnip. Europeans for years used turnips, potatoes and beets for jack-o-lanterns until they immigrated to America and found the pumpkin to be the perfect choice.

As a killer –
A little German kid died after his 10-year-old sister hurled a pumpkin at him as a joke and it hit him in the stomach, according to an 1884 archived news report posted at NYTimes.com. “He became very sick and died in a few hours,” the report said.
An unattended jack-o-lantern is also being blamed for staring a Northwest fire that killed three dogs and two cats, according to a report in the Arizona Daily Star. Two dudes who lived in the house at 1200 block of West Giaconda Way reportedly lit candles in the decorative gourds – then left the house to go to work.
As a weapon –
Since we already know pumpkins can kill, perhaps the sight of one would be an ample deterrent for muggers, degenerates and unleashed dogs encountered on narrow Tucson pathways.
Please be advised it may take some ingenuity – and muscles – to walk around town with a pumpkin and may be much simpler to invest in pepper spray or a retractable baton.
As a healthy snack –
Pumpkin pie laden with whipped cream, sugar and other strange additives is not necessarily on the healthy menu, but plain ole pumpkin is. Pumpkin is rife with fiber, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.
Canned pumpkin, with no additives, is also a great way to get rid of a pet’s diarrhea, as my dog Sawyer found out when he got 1 tablespoon per day until his ailment passed, pun not intended.
As a seduction method –
KoreyK. shared the story of the political pumpkin entries, which were used to seduce:
“One of my brother’s friends gave the pumpkins away, without my permission, to two sorority girls to take to their party, thinking it would get him laid. It didn’t. In fact, they wouldn’t even tell him the location.”

TC.com VIDEO debut: Tour of Rynski’s wacky backyard
Our backyards can be just another place for the dog to poo – or we can turn it into a heavenly haven.
Pepe/Art and photo by Ryn Gargulinski
Mine happens to serve both functions, and it was snappily captured on video by the extremely talented Eric Heithaus.
Heithaus doubles as the dad of Mr. Angel, the cutest dog in the world, and also runs HeithausProductions.com. He’s good.
Having a backyard full of art is also wonderful, although it does have a couple of detriments.
One is the folks who think they have carte blanche to peek their nosy noggins above the fence just because they see a skeleton flapping in the wind.
Another is the HOA that gets cranky if any of the colorful stuff is visible enough to mar the overall beige-ness of the neighborhood.
My backyard wonderland was inspired by Valley of the Moon, although the style is quite different. It was also born of necessity, as I had no more room to put art inside the house.
Please enjoy TucsonCitizen.com’s debut video:
Please note: Video quality suffers due to the high compression currently necessary to view videos on the site.
Please take the poll and add additional comments below.
Also – I am eventually going to add video regularly to my posts, which means less time for writing. Do you care?
What kind of videos do you enjoy: Stories? Quick snippets? Clandestine shots? Fun stuff set to music? Comedic commentary? Horror?
P.S. You know you’re gonna get animal stuff.

Odd Pueblo: Snappy or Crappy?
This fun Odd Pueblo feature asks the audience to rate a trend, topic or sighting of something around town: is it snappy or crappy?
The last snappy or crappy, a gun-toting mailbox, got mixed reviews. Folks liked that it was an effort at cleverness, but not that it was unkempt.
Several folks also voted crappy on a bugged-out VW bug posted many moons ago – but now we got the Volkswagen’s big sister: an awesome Volkswagen bus.
Judging from my calling it awesome, you can bet I think this thing is groovy. Check out the slide show, featuring six ways of looking at a VW bus.
|  | |
The couple that owned this beautiful bus was also fun – and definitely full of the hippie vibe. When I told them I’d send them a link to their VW when I posted it, they said they had no computer.
One of my friends, too, has a VW bus decked in peace signs. He may not have the hippie vibe, however, as his bus is parked between his Harley Davidson motorcycle and an old Ford pickup outfitted with a gun rack and NRA stickers.

Happiness is a decorated pumpkin – tips, tricks and contest
Pumpkins are one of the keenest things to decorate, a perfect canvas for ghoulish faces, scary scenes or a pair of skeletal dogs modeled after Sawyer and Phoebe.
Phoebe and Sawyer/Art and photo Ryn Gargulinski
Follow some easy tips to get your pumpkin ready for our photo contest.
Picking
Avoid pumpkins that are mushy, stinky or have big slashes that ooze out innards. Opt for one that sounds like a wooden skull when you knock on it.
You can pick your pumpkins from an over-priced roadside stand or a run-of-the-mill supermarket where they cost about $5 each.
Supermarket pumpkins should be taken through the self=checkout, where the correct price code will invariably not be keyed into the system. This allows you to hold up the line while people behind you with a single half-gallon of milk shuffle their feet and sigh loudly.

Painting
Even though paint can stick to your thigh for weeks on end, it’s still less messy than the carving. Painters tape is helpful to keep the paint where you want it. Either make a border around the eyes, nose, mouth and hair or do a “reverse negative” effect like I did with the Sawyer and Phoebe pumpkins.
Spray paint is a good choice, or you can use paint markers or those large graffiti markers that make your head spin when you sniff them.
Spray with sealer to deter dogs.
Carving
Before you even think of carving a pumpkin, you need to properly prepare. Thoroughly mop, scour and disinfect the floor and general area where you’ll be working, then cover it with an inadequate amount of newspaper. This way you can fret and swear when the pumpkin guts spew all over and ruin everything you just cleaned.
AZMouse's infamous Sarah Palin pumpkin and two others/submitted photo
Get yourself one of those chintzy Pumpkin Carving Kits with little blades and cheap plastic handles so you can swear some more when they break.
Draw your design with pencil on the pumpkin so you can erase any remaining lines. Then carve away.
Begin by cutting a circle around the stem so you can scoop out the innards. Painstakingly clean all the stringy guts off the seeds then bake the seeds on a cookie sheet for some fine snacks. Swear some more when no one wants to eat them because you burnt them to high heaven and forgot to add salt.
Finish off your carving by carefully cutting along those pencil lines you drew. Throw everything into a compost heap – except your finished pumpkin – then display proudly on the porch until someone runs off with it to smash it in the middle of the street.
Happy Halloween.

Artist sketchbook: How to make a scarecrow – slide show
Tis that time of year to outfit your home, yard and ceiling fan with creepy things that come crawling from the depths and into your life for the spooky fall season.
Voodoo Medusa/Art and photo by Ryn Gargulinski
Add to this charm with a scarecrow.
Please meet my Voodoo Medusa a.k.a. Voodoo Chile, whom I hooked up for the Tucson Botanical Gardens scarecrow contest – Scarecrows in the Garden, which runs from Saturday, Oct. 17 through Nov. 30.
Featuring scarecrows created by local folks and businesses, the exhibit promises to scare the bejeebers out of you – so go. And please vote for Voodoo Medusa while you’re there so I can add “Scarecrow Contest winner” to my resume.
Then hook up a scarecrow for you own personal satisfaction with a few easy tips.
1. Get the base. The Gardens provided a T-shaped PVC base about 5 feet tall. Perfect. You can also wire together old curtain rods, broom sticks or anything else tall and solid enough to serve as the backbone of your masterpiece.
2. Hook up the head. Basketballs, soccer balls, stuffed pillow cases and watering cans make good heads. So does a metal piece that will be cut into a snake-crowned Medusa.
3. Find the clothes. Raid your own or your friend’s closet or dig out that box in the garage marked “Clothes Donation.” Go for something eye catching and funky, like a loud muumuu you found at the free clothing swap at Dinnerware Artspace earlier this year.
4. Create the fine details. You need hands and dangling things. Medusa’s hands were made out of metal, but you can opt for sticks, stuffed gloves, mannequin hands or a lucky rabbit’s foot. Dangling things can be anything from Christmas ornaments to old jewelry – anything you can tie to the finished product so they flap in the wind. I made little faces, again out of metal.
5. Stuff it. Voodoo Medusa had to be gaunt, so I simply wrapped the base with and old shower curtain I found in the garage next to the “Clothes Donation” box. Make your scarecrow fatter by stuffing garbage bags with newspaper and securing to the base with cord or wire. You want the stuffing to be waterproof in case it does that strange thing and rains. You may need to dress the base before stuffing to make it easier.
6. Put it all together. Attach the head, arms and clothing by bending metal attachments, cutting holes in the things and sticking them on the base, using wire, cord or strips of a cut up skirt that was in the donation box. Just make sure everything is secure enough to withstand any howling winds.
7. Find the right location. Living rooms are a good choice for scarecrow displays, as are backyards or anywhere behind a wrought iron fence. You may want to get a wrought iron fence installed to insure the overall spooky vibe. Front yards are even better showcases, as long as you know your neighbors won’t steal it. The peace sign charm I once hung on a cut tree branch disappeared from my front yard within 24 hours.

Readers show off their tattoos – sensational slide show
Thank you! TC.com readers who sent in photos of your tattoos. They are as beautiful as you are – and make for a nifty slide show, as evidenced below.
Jennatoolz's card suits, designed by her best friend Ross/submitted photo
Contributors include:
* Self-proclaimed text message junkie Jennatoolz – her two tattoos include one of her former goldfish, Buzzkill, started by a boyfriend and then fixed by Andre from State of Art Tattoo; a playing card tattoo down her left side, designed by best friend Ross and installed by Adrian Rodriguez at Unlimited Ink. When I showed Ross the finished product, his exact words were, “Oh Jenna, that is, like, the biggest form of flattery I’ve ever received!”
* Pet lover and hilarious story teller AZMouse (aka Dianne), who sent in pix of her daughter Sara’s tats. AZMouse says Sarah has about 10 tattoos all told, and her musical notes were actually a cover up for something else. Good cover!
* A man named Travis Reed who works at a local insulation company, sent in by loyal reader RadMax. Travis’s only comments were: “James, Adrenaline Tattoo.”
* Joey Flowers, another man who works with RadMax with a few tats that include his daughters and Marilyn Monroe.
* E.E. Farley sent by loyal reader A. Farley – who is being left dad’s tattoo in the will, by the way. E.E. Farley’s tat is from WWII and depicts “a petite woman with a nice hat” in front of a ship’s anchor and the initials U.S.N. for U.S. Navy. Dad was one that set up the older ships in the Bikini Atoll Atom Bomb tests. If I ever get one it would have to be exactly like Dad’s. Kind of like a Sailor Jerry Tattoo.
* A photo of the tattoo on TC.com Editor Mark Evans. Yes, this man who seems like he’d be one of the last people in the solar system to have a tattoo actually has one. He got the fish on his ankle after peer pressure and beer pressure with four other guys that got the same ones during his college days.
* Two Rynski tattoo pix – One is a dragon on my foot in the shape of a number five and installed by my fave tattoo artist, Michelangelo in Brooklyn. The other is a snap of my left leg, installed by a guy named Chris in Clovis, N.M. I designed the dragon on my foot and four out of the five dragons on my leg. I don’t know why I love dragons so much when I was born in the year of the dog.
Enjoy!
