Same thing happened to Homer at Krusty’s clown college.

What gets me are these guys that wear their shorts down to their ankles. Oversized, even. I mean, what’s the point?

@simpsonfan2

Are we supposed to make breakfast? I’ve got some cinnamon raisin toast and egg beaters. Sounds like french toast if I knew how to cook. And maybe some fresh squeezed orange juice, even.

Exit…Stage left!

Perhaps being Stucko isn’t such a great idea.

Good Morning, Tribe

@Doctor Toon

But to rephrase… a bare clown? What’s the point there, either?

(one of these days I REALLY have to look up “The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd”)

Alain Harper (מיכאל בן-אברם) said, 6 months ago

Just for the record: I’ve been out of town for nine days and that’s why I’ve been scarce around here. Mission accomplished and now I’m back in the yoke at home.

On that musical, from Wikipedia:

> Resembling a music hall production more than a book musical, the allegorical plot examines the maintenance of the status quo between the upper and lower classes of British society in the 1960s. The two main characters are Sir and Cocky. Since Sir forever is changing the rules of the game of life, downtrodden young Cocky always gets the short end of the stick. Assisting Sir is his eager disciple Kid, anxious to pick up bits of wisdom while helping keep Cocky in his place.
