Police in Tampa, Florida appear to have clown issues from their youth. Matthew David Lopez, 18, was arrested for wearing a clown mask in public. (The picture is some other clown).
Isn’t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Now, for the record, I was always scared of the clowns at the circus. However, some cities have passed laws criminalizing the wearing of masks or hoods that raise serious constitutional questions.
Isn’t it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can’t move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
On this occasion, a deputy spotted Lopez wearing a clown mask with red-orange hair around 1:00 pm. The teens took off when the officer tried to make contact with them.
Just when I’d stopped
Opening doors,
Finally knowing
The one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again
With my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Lopez was charged with wearing a mask or hood in public and resisting an officer without violence.
Don’t you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want –
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Quick, send in the clowns.
Of course, Florida police are lucky. Minneapolis police are dealing with an infestation of zombies and would love a few clowns, here.
What a surprise.
Who could foresee
I’d come to feel about you
What you’d felt about me?
Why only now when i see
That you’d drifted away?
What a surprise.
What a cliché.

Isn’t it rich?
Isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother – they’re here.
Here is something to soothe Lopez’s clown-raged soul. As always, Sinatra did it best:
Its funny how mespo hides behind different handles and when I return his insults he starts threatening to call the police.
Apparently he can dish it out, but……
Its a phallus
“it is a cigar”
well we all know what Doctor Freud sayz about dose, right fella?
hey datz purty….
Derty%er:
it is a cigar, I prefer a nice Partagas with a Maduro wrapper or any one of Arturo Fuentes line. His Cannones are very good especially with the Maduro wrapper.
not so dirty, Gerty
I know 30, Why did you pick Gerty? Rhyme with 30, Gerty? Try and be a little more Flirty, 30 and not so dirty, 30.
Time for a Poll
“2. Do you think Gerty is a danger to him/her self, such that, while fully respecting one’s right to privacy, Professor Turley would be justified in releasing Gerty’s IP address to local authorities for a welfare check?”
Lol, yea, dats pretty funny.
Mee lawyers would have a field day wit dat one.
Hey Byron, got a quick question fer ya…

Two questions:
1. Do you think Gerty has exhibited behavior deserving of a permanent ban from this blog?
2. Do you think Gerty is a danger to him/her self, such that, while fully respecting one’s right to privacy, Professor Turley would be justified in releasing Gerty’s IP address to local authorities for a welfare check?
