Agh, agreed. I hate clowns.
RIP Larry
Bozo always scared me as a kid. I could never understand what was appealing to kids or adults by this orange-haired, out-of-proportioned and distorted faced clown.
But I'm sure he did his best.
RIP Larry.
I thought he died years ago.
Bozo Buckets was the shiz.
RIP scary fucking clown.
Didn't know people outside of Chicago knew who Bozo was?

Was that where you had to throw the little ball in bucket and each bucket was farther away? That was the first thing I thought of when I saw he died. Followed by:

That was my fave, and then there was the game where the parent and the kid had to stuff a pillow into a pillow case. OMG, such suspense. :lol: :lol:
I think you guys might be thinking of Cookie? Hasn't there been like 3 different Cookies?
For some reason, clowns disturb me more as an adult than they did when I was a kid...
I blame John Wayne Gacy.

we used to set up bowls of my moms into Bozo Buckets, fun for hours. I'm in Michigan, but we did get WGN, which is the channel I obsessively watched Bozo on.

I nver knew people had such a problem with clowns until you guys. :lol:
RIP Mr. Harmon.
All you wanted to do was enterain, but apparently you creep some sissys out.
[/quote]I don't remember considering clowns scary when I was a kid, but that was before Gacy, before It.
On the other hand Mom is still bitter because she never managed to get a picture of me with Santa. Apparently all it took was one look and
