karen – that’s a fantastic haiku

ty chance and lynda

justme – you’re not gullible. it’s because i used my super-duper official ‘voice’ and i’m not usually a big fat fibber!

amanda – that saying is familiar to me as well…not sure from whom but i’ve heard it before and i want to say it’s rooted in superstition as if by celebrating a birth we tempt fates or evil spirits to bring on death? maybe i’m making that up, but i don’t think so.

the celebration of death is more common in various cultures. my fave being the mexican day of the dead celebration, of course. (hence the sugar skull art i do) part of the celebratory attitude is not only because you believe the spirit is in a good place, but that you don’t want to piss it off either. the decorative skulls with flowers and colors indicates the spirit’s happiness. plain skulls would indicate a very depressing dark afterlife which no one wants for their departed loved ones.

anyway, it’s an interesting saying and thank you for the haiku bday wishes

UnconsciousINK – clowns want to hug you. really really really hard.

I am terrified of clowns but only because I know so many. Once you’ve seen a clown without its make up on it makes it 10 times scarier than before…. Happy birthday Calan I haikued last week for it because I wasn’t sure i’d make it on this week but heres a bonus one

Celebrate a death
and mourn a birth but yours is
special so enjoy

my grandmother has a quirky saying Celebrate a death mourn a birth. We’ve been using it a lot around the family because there is a certain member that we wish would get hit by a bus… *he really deserves it dont ask* but as unusual as it is i thought i’d share.

calan – I’ve been told “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary, but I don’t believe that because I happen to know if you look it up you’ll see my picture.

Someone really ought to be keeping statistics on clown-related fatalities, though. Like the CDC or NIH or someone like that. Otherwise how will we know how big the problem really is?

Black and white clowns spring
from creepy chasms of mirth –
beware the balloon.

Happy hatching day, dear Calan!

thanks for all the wishes, haiku and comments!

gabe, i’m still chuckling at the thought of bashing clowns with that adorable pink shoe.

justme – that article is totally interesting. that creepy masked burger king guy came to mind immediately. human but not quite is definitely more disturbing than completely not human. as for the statistics…i kinda made those up but don’t tell anyone!

hugs to you all!

O_O CLOWNS!

*runs away*

The squeak of their red
noses, a lullaby straight
into nightmareland.

The little pink shoe is simply adorable.

(To the tune of death, da da da DA daaaa)

Oh Happy Birthday…
Oh Happy Birthday….
One year closer to DEATH
oh Happy birthday….!

Yes, strange, but please, death is not apporpriate for me! (My birthday was a couple weeks ago, I’m good for the “close to death” part!)
