Bring on the Clowns

Mablethorpe, UK - Jamie - Thursday, November 17th, 2005 : goo

Normally i don't like to post a single photo on it's own, but i found this one whilst digging through some old stuff. These guys live at the back of an old open air amusement arcade near the seafront in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. Evil clowns. I was always scared of clowns as a child. Most amusement seaside arcades used to have a version of "The Laughing Clown". A lifesize clown dummy in a glass cabinet with a money slot. When you fed him the correct change he'd start manickly laughing his tits off. I remember i used to shit myself, but every time we'd go somewhere, my parents would force me to watch one of these till i cried and/or ran away. They also used to force me onto log flumes.

This seems less sinister however. I imagine they just play a little song for you. I didn't give them any money.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
That's so much scarier than giant phones.

scary indeed. im no fan of clowns myself. i think theyre a relic of another generation... something that just doesnt jibe right with post-television-era kids.

i do like log flumes though. at least now. i think they scared me a bit as a kid too, but getting wet was always fun, regardless of the fact that the average carnival flume's water was probably fulla hepatitis, urine, or worse...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 27th Jul 2006 - 13:21 GMT

They are nearly as scary as Ouchy the clown, who provides "Adult Clown Services." Do not, I repeat not, click the link for straight razor services. I still haven't recovered from the sight.

Nothing like some good old-fashioned nightmare fuel to wake you up in the mourning...
