Your list helps me as I prepare for my own foolish attempt at a clown show. Before I rehearse, I look over the list and try to remember every single thing and then promptly try to forget it all. Thanks very much for this fine list. I would love to have these posts collected together like a book. Thanks for your foolishness.
