Do you like clowns?   No, they kind of scare me.   When I was a kid ....

The man pictured to the right is a member of "Circus Psycho," a group whose job it is to dress up like clowns and scare the daylights out of people.   The group roams the Six Flags - Great Adventure amusement park in Jackson, New Jersey during "Fright Fest."   Does anyone know where Joe Divola is?

Something to keep in mind if you find yourself in a place filled with evil clowns, stare them straight in the eyes and show no fear.   Clowns are energized by your fear.   That's what makes them tick.   They feed off of it.

Every site I could find on the subject "fear of clowns" suggests that this is a phobia or, put another way, an "intense fear of something that poses little or no actual danger."   Well, if you want to believe clowns pose no danger, then go ahead and mingle with them.   Me?   I think I'll just avoid them altogether.
