rootbeer1Trust me when I say that my dreams are more bizarre than the average person's, and I also remember them very well. Last night's installment was one of the most vivid in a while, in that I had a deranged uncle who was a professional avant-garde clown, who was killing off the Buffalo members of my family so that I (his favorite nephew) could inherit the family fortune (which amounted to a rusty car and two suitcases of old clothes). It was extremely colorful for a black comedy dream that combined elements of two black and white movies, Forbidden Zone and Kind Hearts and Coronets.
The uncle's "professional clown getup" takes a little bit of explaining. Called the "nutjob," the look is achieved by doing the following:
1. Shave your head.
2. Wear a long, fake nose.
3. Wear oversized baggy pants on your upper torso, sticking your head out through the fly of the pants.
4. Stick shoes over your hands.
5. On your lower torso, wear a shirt, with your legs in the arm holes.
6. On your feet, wear oversized clown hands.
7. Between your legs, tie a helium balloon with a big smiley face painted on it.
8. Now, walk on your hands.
Voila! Nutjob the clown!
I'm not sure if I've ever seen this costume/look before, but I probably have. Anybody recognize it? I'm actually not keen on clowns, although Al the cute clown from the recent edition of The Amazing Race changed my mind. He can cram into a tiny car with me and Jack anytime!
