quote:

me: *googles how to mash potatoes*

some food blogger: My childhood home was full of wind and light. On a brisk Autumn evening, it often felt as if the outside was in. My younger sister, my mother, our favourite cousin, our dog, our other dog, our dog’s sister, and I would sit on the floor in the living room for hours, lit only by the moon and candlelight

me: *scrolls for several minutes*

some food blogger: It was at that moment, with my tiny hands clasped tightly around a mason jar filled with fireflies, that I realised the true value of family. My dog and my dog’s sister came and sat quietly at my feet. We stared up at the sky together, and I felt truly connected to both the Earth at my feet and the ancestors who shared the blood that ran through them, for the first time realising that

me: *scrolls for several minutes*

some food blogger: and when we finally made it home, our cheeks flushed with laughter and cold, there were warm mashed potatoes waiting for us. I will always remember their fluffiness, perfectly mirroring the light feeling I carried with me for the entire next week. This is my favourite cousin’s recipe from that very day, modified slightly to not be loving awful. Boil an potato and smush it up with fork and botter. NOT A RAW, Salt, pepepr. In it

So I’m gonna be honest, I’m a little offended, I know actual clowns IRL, like personal friends who I drink with and smoke bud with. Who have a passion for being a clown, and actually have like registration numbers, and I think eggs but I never really asked because who wants to talk about work all the time?

It’s not just that being a clown is funny, but it’s timed and more importantly it’s consensual. My friends don’t try to run around throwing pies in the streets to get random laughs from strangers, because that’s just creepy and weird. There’s a social contract. Not only that, they have actual routines, they spend time learning and crafting something. Really creating a comedy act. Not all clowns are wearing makeup, but every clown is self-evident, and doesn’t have to announce themselves. Like there’s clowns on social media that talk about how sad they are that people are scared of clowns because they broke that social contract. There’s a whole clown community, and they have beefs and poo poo with scary clowns and funny clowns getting in like actual fights.

You’re literally doing a disservice to actual clowns.

Back to the self evidence thing, you can enter a room at any point, and immediately know who the “clown” is. You’re at a party? You’ll recognize them immediately, they won’t walk up and say “Hi I’m the funniest person in the room, honk honk you wanna see my penis?” They’ll just be charismatic and funny. You watch abbot and costello, you know who the clown is in the performance, even though they’re both acting together, one is recognizable as the clown, and the other the person in line.

Clowns don’t just get pissed on, they also play a part in a team effort. Being sad and pathetic is not what makes a clown funny, and it’s hosed up that you’re taking a job that is important and done because they legitimately want to make people happy and reducing them to your level of pity party.

Begging for negative attention doesn’t make you a clown. In fact if you don’t self reflect and learn about social interactions you’ll never manage to be a clown.

Paggliacci literally begins with a clown coming on stage and saying that he feels pity and sorrow just like any other person. You’re not supposed to laugh at this, you’re not supposed to be like “Hah what a stupid loving loser, I can’t wait to be a loser just like him.” When you find out that Paggliacci is a deeply jealous man who has pushed his wife away and ends the first act crying alone, you’re not supposed too be laughing at him. It’s the intense sorrow of a broken man who has realized that he will never be able to function normally in his relationship.

Trying to be a clown when he’s a deeply profoundly sad and pathetic person is what ultimately breaks him, and when he has to act out his insecurities in real life he suddenly kills his wife and his wife’s lover. You’re not supposed to aspire to be Paggliacci.

Your misunderstanding of a play is like your posting, it’s trite and insulting. Everyone sees through it, and it’s going to end with you realizing how broken you are.
Do not call yourself a clown. Clown’s are worthy of respect.

Ruggero Leoncavallo has people come up to him on the street and say "I am Pagliacci! That is my story!' And he'll be thinking: 'Sì, fantastico, puoi semplicemente tenerti lontano da me, non avvicinarti mai più finché vivrò'?

That's my sexual agenda. I will no doubt have sex with my wife in between tonight and tomorrow because it makes it seem really dirty to have sex with three woman in a 24 hour period and it's one of those steam achievements. Also they all know about all of this too and so everyone is consenting and happy to be on the polysex train.

Perhaps you mate should put a few minutes in with the ladies and self improvement and get a slice of action rather than your pathetic attempt at raining on my parade, which in the analogy is more like squirting the tv with a water gun
