i\'ve got a love/hate thing with clowns... can ya tell?
color on detail is a tad off but... full size is correct.

ah... that explains it, i don\'t read a lot of his stuff.  tend to read art books, biographies, especially about artists or political figures, political commentary, some murder fiction (named my dear late cat "Sayers" for Dorothy)... stuff like that.

here i thought you were gonna follow up with some crack about some other clown called "Poundfoolish" - or maybe that would be me?  ;)

"I see the circus through the eyes of the clown" I\'ve always loved the line form NWO by Ministry. I always felt it was a great reference to clowns and their twistedness. Your picture is great, I love twisted clowns. You should check out the art work in the Infectious Grooves cd "Groove Family Psycho", there are some awesome twisted clowns in there. :D

hehe - yeah, that\'s where the phrase started, but it\'s been used here for generations... though not so much now i guess?  ;)

 "please tell me you\'ve heard the phrase "penny wise and pound foolish" or i\'ll feel REALLY old"

gkg - penny wise,  pound foolish..it took a little time ...  no, never heard it before - but again, it has nothing to do with your age - suppose the real reason could be  -  german is my first language..;)

Quotegerman is my first language
DANKE!  

*that and "gute Gesundheit" are the extent of my German*

that just might be the explanation - although my son tells me he\'s only heard the phrase in our family so perhaps we just tend toward the archaic?   :o    

happy Monday! ;)
