[Harpoetta]: I did too Pickles
[Willace-the-Clown]: Happy Birthday I did start a birthday thred to you
[Willace-the-Clown]: & Chris was jeluse
[Pickles]: Harpo, did you happen to see that Bozo episode Chris was showing? It was from 1991 and he and his contortionist wife were guests. Amazing.
[Harpoetta]: I try to do it every Thursday, but sometimes the family just doesn't cooperate
[bubblesandgiggles]: Aw, thanks Will!
[Harpoetta]: I think I saw the part with Hoot and Peggy
[Pickles]: Jamz, I was really touched by your post about the sick girl and the sunglasses. I've read it twice and teared up both times.
[Harpoetta]: Hoot can do some of the contortionism too, but not as much as he used to be able to do
[Jamz]: I have a hard time writing about it too'
[Mr. Dazzle]: what post is this??
[Willace-the-Clown]: My mom sez I have an Emotional Heart she thinks sad things make me cry but it jsut happens when sad things are on TV or I read it there is dirt
[Jamz]: bbut it gives me a reson to clown even when I think noboby cares
[Willace-the-Clown]: in the air & it gets in my eyes
[Jamz]: yes a lot of sand in the air
[Pickles]: I think it was Azzy's post about being burnt out.
[Jamz]: yes azzys post
[Pickles]: Harpo, he said that his wife can still do all that stuff. Amazing.
[Willace-the-Clown]: Im a man I dont have a goosey heart
[Harpoetta]: Is that why I haven't seen Azzy in here much lately?
[Harpoetta]: Peggy can do all of it, Hoot can do some of it.
[Jamz]: maybe
[Harpoetta]: A goosey heart, Will?
[Willace-the-Clown]: thats what my dad sez when i act all big bad & mean
[Gypsy]: then why is your smiley face crying will?
[Willace-the-Clown]: he said that i'm a big teddy bear & a marshmellow & i'm all gushie
[Willace-the-Clown]: cuz its jsut s aface
[Gypsy]: ohhhhhhh...... teddy bears are better!
[Jamz]: every one send Willace a teddy bear for Christmas
[Willace-the-Clown]: he even told me I have the biggest heart out of anyone he knows but i try to act like one of those jerkie guys some times
[Harpoetta]: Hey there Gypsy, how's it going
[Gypsy]: good n you?
[Willace-the-Clown]: I want clown stuff & a backward running pocket watch
[bubblesandgiggles]: A backward running pocket watch? Interesting!
[Harpoetta]: Will, don't act like one of those big jerkie guys, nobody really likes people like that, they just pretend to so they don't get beat up by the big jerkie giuys. Better to be a nice guy and have people really like you for who you are, than to pretend to be something you're not and have people pretend to like you.
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea there is a book at the book store that is about time trival & it has a working pocket watch that runs backwards &t he numbers are backwards too
[Jamz]: you can never be late with a watch like that
[Harpoetta]: not too bad, G, not too bad
[bubblesandgiggles]: Oooo...I want a watch like that!
[Willace-the-Clown]: it called the rewinder
[Jamz]: whats the name of the book
[Willace-the-Clown]: I'm weird thow cuz i collect compusses
[bubblesandgiggles]: There are odder things to collect I guess...
[Jamz]: I have a ships compass from a whaling ship
[Willace-the-Clown]: Compusses intreage me
[Zoey]: Hello all
[Mr. Dazzle]: brb I've got to take out my contacts
[Harpoetta]: No kiddin'. You wanna see an odd collection, I have a bug collection, and skull collection, and a small live reptile collection. That may not be too odd for a guy, but how many girls you know have those kinds of collections?
[Jamz]: I watched a program about cracker jack toys and if you had every one it would be worth over 5 million
[Harpoetta]: Hey there Zoey!!!
[Jamz]: welcome Zoey
[Willace-the-Clown]: I heard of guys collecting dolls KAtie
[Jamz]: hey they are called action figures
[Jamz]: LOL
[Zoey]: lol
[Pickles]: Hey, Zoey!
[Zoey]: Hey Pickles!
[Pickles]: Harpo, I used to have a USED chewing gum collection.
[Harpoetta]: ABC Gum, eh
[Pickles]: And I had a comb collection that consisted of combs that I stole from people. Very bad. I don't do that anymore.
[Zoey]: Pickles, Harpo have you two recovered from last week?
[Pickles]: I haven't. I don't think I ever will. I'm sad to be back in realty.
[Willace-the-Clown]: Barbie is not a action Figure
[Zoey]: me too
[Harpoetta]: Not quite, Dad's just going to bed cuz he still hasn't recovered
[Pickles]: I have a busy few days of clowning ahead of me though, so that will help.
[Willace-the-Clown]: sick or jet lag
[Zoey]: that's nice.
[Mr. Dazzle]: a skull collection Katie??
[Jamz]: I dont think Fred stops at anytime at camp
[Pickles]: Jamz, I once bought a box of Cracker Jack with no prize. So I wrote a letter to the company, thinking that they would send me cases of Cracker Jack. Instead, they sent me this big envelope full of prizes. lol
[Jamz]: LOL
[Harpoetta]: Yup, a skull collection RD
[Pickles]: Those were the days when I had time to fret over such problems.
[Zoey]: haha that's so great pickles.
[Pickles]: So are they....um...human skulls?
[Mr. Dazzle]: interesting
[Mr. Dazzle]: I've actually got to hold a human skull
[Harpoetta]: We have 5 human skulss, but they are still in use.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I loved my High School Anatomy class
[Dancin' Dot]: hey there
[Willace-the-Clown]: Pickles when my dad popossed to my mom he put the ring in a box of cracker jacks & she got mad at him cuz he ate all the peanuts to fit the ring inside
[Pickles]: Dancing Dot! HEY!!
[Harpoetta]: hey Dancin' Dot
[Zoey]: Hey Dancin Dot!
[Dancin' Dot]: hey pickles
[Jamz]: just biding your time Harpo

[Pickles]: Bye, Zoey. Ooops. Too late.
[Gypsy]: that must have swept het off her feet Jamz
[Jamz]: 38 yrs later Im a lot smarter
[Gypsy]: *her
[Pickles]: Hey, Kelly!
[kellygnc]: hey
[kellygnc]: how was vbs?
[Harpoetta]: WB Kelly
[kellygnc]: thanks
[kellygnc]: i'm trying to multi-task
[Jamz]: she says she married me for my money and I married her for her looks and we both got ripped off
[Gypsy]: lol
[Willace-the-Clown]: Ahhh but at lease your happy or un happy or something togeather
[Harpoetta]: lol Jamz
[Pickles]: You talkin' to me, Kelly? About VBS?
[kellygnc]: yes
[Pickles]: It's not until the end of August. I'm still working on it. I wrote two skits today (with Razzle's help) one for the opening and one for the closing. I still don't know what magic I'll do.
[Pickles]: I have to get through this weekend and will work on it more next week. You will probably hear from me, if you don't mind.
[Mr. Dazzle]: they are super cute... I gave pickles a few jokes and she took them and ran with them ...
[Mr. Dazzle]: her skits are really funny
[Pickles]: You're too kind, Dazzle.
[kellygnc]: i dont mind at all i have alot of friends that call me for vbs help
[Jamz]: Pickles do you use sponge balls
[Dancin' Dot]: good night all :roll:
[Pickles]: One thing I'm wondering....
[Willace-the-Clown]: know what I told my mom soemthing today & she turned it agenst me
[Jamz]: nite Dot
[kellygnc]: bye dot
[Pickles]: Originally, I thought I would do a Gospel illusion show the final night. But it seems like such a break in the fumbling, bumbling character I'm portraying all week.
[Pickles]: I need to figure out a way to make the serious patter of most of the Gospel illusions more "pickle-like."
[Willace-the-Clown]: my mom sez she isn't even good enough to be called mediyoker in clowning but i told her she is really good for how long she been doing it & she shouldn't be hard on her self & she gose so your allowed to be hard on your self & I cant
[kellygnc]: i like including it all week verses all on one night
[Pickles]: Sponge balls? Nope.
[Pickles]: REx tried to get me to practice sponge balls at the pre-show on Saturday, but it freaks me out too much.
[kellygnc]: what is pickle-like?
[Pickles]: I have little hands. That's my excuse.
[Pickles]: Bye Dot!
[Pickles]: Oops. Too late.
[Pickles]: When you do Gospel illusions, you always seem so wise and knowing. That's not the way Pickles the Clown is.
[Pickles]: Do you see what I'm saying?
[Jamz]: Duayne Lauglin does a routine about Gods never ending love where he takes the ball and puts it in his pocket and he always has a ball in his hand and at the end he says if you keeptaking his love it grows and produices a large spong ball
[kellygnc]: yes
[Jamz]: Willace your mother is right
[Pickles]: I love Duayne. He's awesome.
[Pickles]: I was just reviewing this huge book I have of his.
[kellygnc]: if you want to make a trick more fun can you have pickles stumble onto the results like she puts one thing into a change bag and reaches in again and finds another
[Pickles]: Jamz, I just read what you said about why you and your wife married each other. Too funny.
[Jamz]: but if you notice I dont write that stuff until shes sleeping
[kellygnc]: lol
[Pickles]: Right, Kelly. Stuff like that will make it seem like I'm still the same old Pickles. I need to stumble upon the Truth instead of presenting it as though I know what I'm doing.
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea jamz your brave not stupid
[kellygnc]: dazz i liked your new wig
[Jamz]: she has a very good sense of humor
[Pickles]: My husband doesn't WANT to know what we're talking about here. lol
[Mr. Dazzle]: eh its not really new i've had it for a few months for my whiteface character (whos costume is still in the works) ... I had time before my gig today so I decided I'd try it out to see how I liked that style and color for RD ... I like thestyle... maybe I'll find another color...
[Pickles]: Unfortunately, I'm going away the week before VBS. I hope to kind of figure out what I'm going to do next week, so I can pack everything with me and practice.
[kellygnc]: i like yellow the best
[Mr. Dazzle]: yeah me too
[Mr. Dazzle]: the yellow matches my shoes
[Willace-the-Clown]: dosen't hurt to try something new thow
[kellygnc]: its all about coordination
[Jamz]: use both then you can be RD and his almost twin brother
[Mr. Dazzle]: yeah
[Mr. Dazzle]: lol
[Willace-the-Clown]: Wilalce use to have a green durby & i couldn't find a good green one so my mom said why not try this red one so i go ok
[Mr. Dazzle]: I want to give RD a makeover
[Willace-the-Clown]: sometimes you hit gold & sometimes its a rock
[Mr. Dazzle]: cause when Lewie's costume gets finished ... I'm afraid that he will look better than RD
[kellygnc]: why?
[kellygnc]: oh
[bubblesandgiggles]: I think you could make almost anything coordinate with that vest of many colors, Razzle Dazzle...
[Mr. Dazzle]: yeah
[Mr. Dazzle]: yeah the vest and the shoes are the only things that have to stay
[Willace-the-Clown]: Chris I learned everyone will have their Fav of your differint personas I mean it seems like everyone likes Hobo Bob & Scrubs more then Willace
[kellygnc]: i like the look of rd he looks original
[Mr. Dazzle]: the current RD look just kind of happened lol
[Jamz]: older kids like my tramp better
[kellygnc]: where did you all get your costumes?
[Mr. Dazzle]: the vest was made by my grandmother... the green pants I had found at goodwill... and I actually bought them about a year before I became interested in clowning. the tshirts and orange baseball t that I sometimes wear under the blue shirt... they both came from my closet.... I already had the top hat and the gloves and I started out wearing normal yellow converse that I already owned
[Mr. Dazzle]: Lewie and B.A. Rascal are still in the works...
[Pickles]: Well...... Goodwill, Salvation Army, Ebay, Costumes by Betty, etc. I'm drooling over a Mooseburger outfit right now. Sigh.....
[kellygnc]: i know
[Harpoetta]: Harpo came mostly from the local second hand stores, but I got the wig and hat from my Dad's shop, and the tie from my G'pa. I still have to figure out how to get some of my pics on here.
[Jamz]: my tramp came from goodwill and my auguste is mooseburger
[Mr. Dazzle]: Lewie's overalls are being made as well as a bib collar, tiny top hat, and cuffs are being made by a lady that I work with. I hope to eventually buy a yellow striped shirt from Mooseburger
[Mr. Dazzle]: B.A. Rascal is being formed from Goodwill Finds
[Mr. Dazzle]: I would like to have a "Lou Jacobs" style of coat for RD
[kellygnc]: where do you get inspiration for the outfits?
[Mr. Dazzle]: i sketched mine up
[Pickles]: I REALLY liked being a hobo. I think that Rev. Rooster VanKamp will officially be my second character. He was cheap to clothe, too.
[Willace-the-Clown]: Katie alot of the pics i see of you you seem like you really dont wnt the pic taken
[Mr. Dazzle]: all of my clown characters originated as sketches
[Harpoetta]: I watched old Marx Brothers movies
[Mr. Dazzle]: nothing major just little cartoons
[Harpoetta]: I don't, I hate being in front of the camera, I'd much rather be behind it
[Mr. Dazzle]: you made an extremely cute hobo
[Harpoetta]: Is there a pic of me in there?
[Pickles]: It was weird. I felt so different when I was a hobo. It was liberating. lol
[Willace-the-Clown]: how much do chickens go for these days
[Mr. Dazzle]: yep ...
[Willace-the-Clown]: jsut the group shot of you next to dan
[Mr. Dazzle]: I have to ask ... is that a wig you're wearing??
[Harpoetta]: $9 or $10
[Jamz]: I know my tramp can get away with more than my auguste
[Willace-the-Clown]: but like the spring fling you dont seem exthuzed
[Pickles]: Well, my top model, made from genuine Columbian rubber, is on special right now for $965.99!
[Harpoetta]: oh, that's what I thought
[Willace-the-Clown]: well Pickles
[Willace-the-Clown]: I have 3 rubber chickens
[Pickles]: I do have a smaller chicken, available at a slightly lower cost. lol
[Willace-the-Clown]: two little ones i carry in my pockets & i have a large screaming one i carry in my bag
[Mr. Dazzle]: pickles... are you wearing a wig in the tramp pics??
[Pickles]: That was so much fun.
[Jamz]: I found a 4 ft chicken at I party
[Pickles]: No. Pinky sprayed my hair with gray hairspray and then ratted it out. Lovely, eh?
[kellygnc]: what do you use chickens for?
[Mr. Dazzle]: Ahh ok i was curious as to what you two did to your hair
[Pickles]: I would LOVE to find a four-foot chicken. OMG!
[Pickles]: Well, on that occasion, I pinned them inside my jacket and tried to sell them.
[Jamz]: Ill see if they have more
[Pickles]: I've used them in magic tricks. I try to produce a rabbit, but instead I get a rubber chicken.
[kellygnc]: oh ok
