from the Pen of the Hen!!

[reg_the_hen_henderson]

well not really!! i am typing on a keyboard. well hello everyone, my name is reginald (reg or reggie for short) and i have a sort of confession to make - i'm not actually a clown!

for many years i was scared of clowns (i had a phobia if you will) and would never have even dreamed of coming to this site LOL! (usually i dream of hens).

however, recently i got an E-Mail that changed my life! it was one of those moments.

i had just got back from one of my hospital visits (i'd give this one a 3.5/5, good but not great) when i decided to check what E-Mails i had been sent (by people).

well there was this one email, that said, SUBJECT - "Why go to Columbia? Beat the system!" and basically i thought 'that's me!!'

so i am here to try to come to terms with my fears (hopefully ex-fears!!) and to make new friends

please forgive me if i act nervous, i will try my best!

your friend
reg 'the hen' henderson

Welcome. Hey, hens work. Most of us have a chicken side in there somewhere. You're gonna meet lots of un-scarey clowns here . A bunch of great folks.

Welcome to the group. We've had a few that have joined and asked questions etc. We're a family friendly bunch.

Boo! Did I scare you?

Now, Welcome to the Funny Farm where chickens come to roost. Feel free to tell a few bad jokes. Don't worry you won't get egg on your face. But watch out for those creme pies, they seem to come out of nowhere.

I can understand your fear of clowns. I don't think that I've ever had a fear of actual clowns. But when I first saw a picture of shock rocker marilyn manson, I couldn't get to sleep that night. So I kind of know where you are coming from. The problem is not us clowns who only wish to help to bring happiness and encouragement to people. Instead the problem is " spooky kids"http://www.waningmoon.com/gothica/ar.../6660053.shtml, and "juggalos" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggalo I'm sure that you will find that the clowns here are good decent people. Some of them are even christian, and use there clowning abilitys as a ministry. So glad to meet you. And I hope that your time here will help you to overcome your phobia.

Hi and thanks for dropping in. We're happy to have fans of clowns or people who are afriad of clowns or even clowns who are afraid of people here! You're certainly not the first who's signed on in the hope of overcoming fears. So stick around awhile and feel free to lurk or get involved in the conversations as much as you like. Ask plenty of questions if that helps or just sit back and watch us play. Again welcome!

We come from all walks of life but the one thing we have in common is we like to make people smile
Is a shame that that scary clowns get the press
Ive have never met a real clown the would try to scare people on purpose but I also know the fear of clowns is real so I take care to stay out of the way of people that are truely afraid of me
You will find the clowns here will answer any question you have and we hope to help you get over your fear
