The parents had hired a clown, Buki, to keep the many kids in attendance entertained. Monica came by later and pronounced, "Buki's the bomb! Buki killed!" The children were no match for Buki's hypno entertainment powers.
I found out only this weekend that my younger brother did a stint of part-time clown work when he was about 19. It seems the reactions from the kids wasn't as good as the one he got from the other motorists on his way to a gig. Apparently the low point was when one partygoer complained, "You're not a real clown! You smell like beer and you have a beard!" He did, however, have the agreement of his high school teachers. And he could ride a unicycle and juggle, which counts for something, I guess. The agency made him return the suit.

Nice! I shall keep an eye out for it.

I have a friend who is deathly afraid of clowns. She nearly wrecked her car when she saw a clown, dressed in full regalia on his way to a gig driving in a car along side her on the freeway.

She has my full sympathy. It may look suspiciously like shaking with silent laughter, but we all express emotion in our own way.
"There's not really a story there."
Aww, Aimee, what a cutie!
With the type of shoulder-back-neck-arm pain I'm having, is moving as little as possible or gentle range-of-motion stretching likely to get me back to normal sooner? Because I really want to be able to, say, pick up Annabel or drive the car tomorrow, at the very least, and I'm just sick of this in general.
Being laid up with back pain is much more annoying than getting sick for some reason. I've really got to figure out why I've become so susceptible to it of late and do something about it.
Covered in bubbles!!
Truth in advertising! They really mean "no tears"!
So. Freakin'. Cute.

Ha! I'll be sure to pass that on to her.

Since the pain came after such a simple motion, that I would have thought wouldn't have hurt you if you weren't already in pain, I don't know what to tell you about the stretching. Dylan has a contour pillow, doesn't he? Can you use that, tonight? My pain was neck/shoulder, and that made the biggest difference of anything I did.
Well, I was having a little bit of pain at the spot between my shoulder blade and my spine that sometimes gets strained from over-mousing yesterday and Friday, and the bad pain all radiates from that spot.
