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:
If I were a cow I’d be hoping you’d choose the Mexican.
IF I were a Mexican, I’d be hopin’ you choose steak. 🙂
Well, time to eat. Either Steak or Mexican.
All’s pretty good over here.
AY,
All is well here, how about there?
Hello All, if you care I am back.
Canadian Eh, I do remember the days of the mist. Happy to see all are doing well.
“Actually some of them have been funny, the one about Duh getting a car was great.” Byron
Thanks buddy. That was a pretty good one huh?
Nice room. You guys have been great.
🙂
Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
“Gerty:
you are right I will extend the hand of truce and not make anymore comments if you are willing to.” – Byron
Done.
You’re off the list.
1 down. 4 to go.
Gerty:
you are right I will extend the hand of truce and not make anymore comments if you are willing to.
Actually some of them have been funny, the one about Duh getting a car was great.
So in the words of RiffRafflaw….bring it on.
Of course the easy thing to do is for mespo, buddha, Duh, AY, and the rest to simply accept the hand of truce.
But….if they want to continue their gang up cyberbully attacks on this one blogger….well.
Give I have this email here from Jonathan Turley, the blog owner, …not only inviting me to remain in his blog but ENCOURAGING me to “not let them drive me off” and to “stand up to them”,….well.
Like I said….I got a million of em.
Breathe!!
And if you want to LIE about events, twist them to suit your attempt to remerge yourself with the collective, then so be it.
You can get back what you put out too fella.
No more mister nice guy.
As for diversity, I’ve tried repeatedly, no PLEADED with mespo, and the rest to stop their stalking of me and unwarranted personal gang up style attacks.
Whatever thread they find me debating someone in, they gang up and hit me with comment after comment.
So in any debate I’m in, its impossible for me to continue debating because as I have four or five insults and ridiculing comments, from the same four or five individuals, to respond to.
Now, if you are as upset over it as your pompous denunciation of me suggests, then I recommend taking yer pleas to those who refuse to call a truce.
Because if THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT, then THIS IS WHAT THEY GET.
Got it?

(Goodbye cruel world)
Oh, goodbye cruel world, I’m off to join the circus
Gonna be a broken-hearted clown
Paint my face with a good-for-nothin’ smile
’cause a mean, fickle woman turned my whole world upside down
Shoot me out of a cannon, I don’t care
Let the people point at me and stare
I’ll tell the world that woman, wherever she may be
That mean, fickle woman made a cryin’ clown outta me
I’m just doing for mespo what mespo has done for me.
What’s the problem?
“Oh there you are mespo. I was looking for you. How ya doin there buddy?”
Your first post on this thread Gerty, your next two or so were of the same caliber: Invitations to argument. don’t play innocent on this because you know it was your intent to hijack this thread also and lo and behold you did. That is why I call your postings pains in the ass. All they do is provide you with some psychic energy as you try to drain ours. You are boring in you lack of diversity in method.

I was thinking the same thing but it’s pretty cold here too; not exactly the kind of weather I like when going through the car wash…
