Somehow, I think it’s rather unfair for hollywood movies to portray clowns as bad guys. After all, like what it says here, every clown is just a normal neighborhood guy around.

Thanks for the reply and for sharing your story with me.
It sounds like your daughter is doing great now(?)
Sorry about your cousin. Sometimes nice kids can fall into the hands of negative peers, and their lives get ruined. If I went to jail every time I did a dumb thing back in the day, I’d still be locked up! LOL

My introduction to the Tucson school system as a kid was Esperanza Elementary and its experimental curriculum (100+ kids per class, spanning 3 grades per class, and 7 teachers). Come to find out, it was also the last school that emotionally disturbed kids were sent to before juvenile/institution or something. The district refused to let us walk a few blocks to the Drexel School instead. We sold our home and moved to the Sunnyside district where I enjoyed being the minority, and where I withdrew my daughter from as a middle schooler (she home schools on the internet now). Her brand new school had yet to meet the Federal requirements outlined by \No Child Left Behind\ in any area except attendance since opening. My child was continually bored to death in her classes because a large portion of each class period is conducted in Spanish for the benefit of the non-English speaking students in the integrated classrooms. And she was doing curriculum she had passed two years prior in her NH schools. Do we wonder why schools out here lag behind schools in other parts of the country in terms of the curriculum covered? Despite English being the AZ state mandated language, there is not much incentive for students to learn it. As for that cousin of mine – he remains incarcerated. He is not innocent of making other stupid mistakes, I am afraid. I am disappointed that his \friends\ who are proven gun-wielding thugs are still out on the streets. Got to love how perception makes a weapon into benign in the hands of your son’s attackers, but yet into a weapon more deadly than a gun and a car in the hands of someone else.

Thanks for chiming in, Mr. Hocus!
Your article has brought up some fun discussion. I WILL catch a cirque show when I can. And if I ever get to catch one of your performances, I would be thrilled to get a balloon animal shaped like my dog sawyer (of course that means my dog phoebe will want one, too).
thanks again for the entertaining interview and great info.

I do recall the balloon characters came to life, sort of, in Killer Clowns From Outer Space. The dog balloons would walk around, sniffing stuff and trying to attack people.

So true. He was great in that flick. The cast was perfectly ridiculous in the best way, and those clowns were both funny and scary. Some of the best clown costumes ever!
Cotton Candy Cocoons…..awesome.

If I remember correctly, there are evil balloon animals in “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”. Maybe azmouse could clarify that.

Note John Vernon (Dean Wormer) as the sheriff. There was one actor whose roles ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous.
