The Clowning
FOUND by Eric Baldoni
in Tucson, Arizona
This is a from series of four Polaroids found in a thrift store, and is perhaps the favorite in my collection. What is going on here? We can only wonder.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
three words;
Clowns Are Creepy.
Me no like.
Is that?... No!!!... It is!... It's Michael Jackson!!
Why so serious?
I loves me my redheads.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Stupid clown. Stupid hat.
What's going on you ask? Scaring the crap outta me that's what!
I. Hate. Clowns.
I'm a joker, I'm a toker, I'm a midnight stroker...
This is like the joker on a mellow.
It's clown illusions I recall
I really don't know clowns at all
I hate clowns, too. I'm not too fond of Santa Clauses either.
Casting photo from the 1993 Tucson Community Theater's annual production of "The Wiz"?
mmm...wondering why people hate clowns?
Seriously, I want to know.
@fooch, John Wayne Gacey. Seriously.
At fooch.
Because they are fucking scary.
i don't know.. i've got some friends at a clown-school, and they're growing quite good- maybe it's just the clown's apparent interest in some 'spiel' that irritates people (and the rather funkay clothes.. )
mimes now - that's a rather different thing... i loathe mimes, what whith their striped shirts and kid-gloves and tights, following you around imitating your walk and making faces when you tell them to get the fuck off you back...
i hate mimes
but clowns.. they're allright in my book (most of the time)
Instantly reminded me of a photo of a cat-and-cleaver on a red ground that was a previous Found of about a yr or so ago. Another excellent cover for a murder mystery: "The Circus Murders" or "Die Laughing" or "Clowned to Death."
This is the Find I meant:

"Death Under the Big Top" is way better than my first title idea.
...send in the clowns...

I've always liked clowns, and I've known several throughout the years. All wonderful characters with or without the makeup.
I strongly dislike ICP. I wouldn't want to meet Pennywise in a dark alley. (ditto john wayne gacy) but clowns are cool.
(And Killer Klowns from Outer Space is one of the funniest movies of all time.)
I feel like I'm looking at a piece of police evidence. Perhaps the perp made his victims dress up like clowns before he did them in?
Frightening.
This photo reminds me of Carrie.
Some doofus. That's what's going on here.
Quite a young person...and looks like a young woman...but is her hair on fire? What's going on with that wig? Gives "fright wig" a whole new meaning.
No one I know seems to have ever seen the Disney Channel's "Weekenders"--there is a hysterical episode where Tino deals with his fear of clowns by going to a weekend seminar. And they actually mention the Killer Klowns movie.
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh! For the love of crap! This is creepier than Bunnee.
I think it's the forced jocularity that makes people mistrust and fear clowns. How many times have we heard the serial killer was a really nice guy. You kind of wonder what that heavy makeup conceals.
The only clown I liked was Grandma the Clown from the Big Apple Circus.
@Laura-You think Bunnee is creepy?? Bunnee rules! I'm looking at a printout of Bunnee on my cubicle wall right now because I love Bunnee. Bunnee is QUIRKY, not creepy. :)
Sorry Clown, I don't have time for you.
Hey all, I sent in this pict...I put up the other three in the "series" if you want to be really scared. A very strange series of picts when viewed all together for sure.

Yeah, I think the next photo in the series ought to be the profile.
And they shouldn't cut off the card with the numbers at the bottom.
We recently took my son to the Ringling Bros circus, and the clowns there were very un-clown-like, if that makes sense. (Not a lot of makeup, etc) My husband thinks clowns are creepy, too, and they didn't bother him....
Eric in PDX, thanks for sharing the other pics in your Found collection (although I can definitely see why Found only posted this one of the four.)
Now see everyone? the dude in the first 3 pics doesn't appear to have a single speck of clown makeup on his face.. but he's INFINITELY creepier to me than this cute little Clowning chick.
I am pretty sure that's a screen grab of the trailer to "Saw V: Jigsaw, Jr."
Too red,too blurry, looking at this Find makes my eyes hurt.
Looks like this clown is in a fish bowl. Could it be a clownfish?
Or maybe I am in the fish bowl, looking at the clown.
"Hey clown, how about tossing in some fish flakes?"
thanks for the response.
The earliest clown memory that I have is Bozo.
It seems I missed out on all the early postings.
Clowns suck.
(and as Coco said, they are fucking scary).
This picture is fucking scary. Don't care that he/she is smiling.
so there
Thanks Eric, for sharing the details and the link with the other pics with us!!
I love it when the *FINDER* of the *FOUND* of the day, comes and posts a comment and tells all of us *FOUND-HOUNDS* who/what/where/why/ and how they came about finding this or their treasure!!!
Much appreciated!!
I've always wondered about the *other* photos that also are *FOUND* but only mentioned and not shown or told of the subject?
But, you, being the gentleman you are, have killed my curiousity!! (With these pics, anyway!)
Great *FIND*!
Sorry Mr. Jackson, but no more surgery for you!
I think I might possibly be the only person that finds this beautiful.
Haha! I found a photo album a few days ago with some of my oldest sister's pictures and she once dressed as a clown exactly like that!
Creepy as hell but still very interesting XD She must not know I found that Photo Album or she'll burn it.
