Funny, it seems there is a strong tendency towards clown-pants hatred around here. It's not my crowd either; have never been able to connect with that group much. But then, there are other 'groups' around that push some buttons with me (for more or less rational reasons).

I must not be going to the right places cuz I'm not sure what the clown pants thing is. I think fire juggling might be pretty cool but I've never seen it. Old people ya know.
If you could briefly encapsulate a clownpants I'll be happy to vote. I'm a registered voter! (Is G Dubbya a clownpants?  god knows I never voted for him) |

To me, clownpants dreadlocks are like billboards: harmless, but something I'd rather not see.
Sophie, this is clownpants (sans dreadlocks):

I'm going to enjoy this thread.
Hatred is a bit strong, but I am very much clown pants averse. Does this make me an old fogee? I certainly hope so. ______________________________________________________________________________ Please note: the above member, who is the very model of a modern major-general, with information vegetable, animal, and mineral, has retired from BnA and won't be able to answer any follow-up questions.

They are like the Deadheads of the backpacker circuit: slavishly conformist in their non-conformity, annoying, but generally harmless.

Where's my Cabana boy? |
I do not dig the clownpants. Or the dreadlocks. And I think the reason just has to do with exasperation. I'm just so tiered of the ideas i constantly hear spouting from the lips of these folk. Same tiered arguments they never get sick of debating. The second a monkey wrentch get's thrown into their memorized diatribe they get onry, mean and pull out the 6th grade debate team tactics, thus showing what nerds they truley are.
Then they misquote a few famous eastern eruopean philosphers, ask for the ganja and smoke it with all the pretention of a 30-something wanna-be wine conissuer. Moving right along from white philosphers to brown ones... Buddha and the middle path/wheel of life will inevitably come up. he'll talk about all things in moderation and making peace through living in harmony with people and nature. Then he'll tell a story about haggling with some old lady named Thin Thu or Tin Woo or whatever the fuck her name was to get the cheapest real-hair dreads in all of S. Thailand. His girlfriend will look proud and swoon at the winsome smile that breaks out whenever he touches his newly twisted extentions. Asked where the hair comes from he will shrug and babble on about helping the local economy because he's pretty sure the hair comes from the local girls and, I mean, that's not even work growing your hair. It's free. It'd happen anyway. In a way HE was providing a service. Then he pulls off his Hemp-Time organic tunic and lays in the sand to revel in the stars while his girlfriend cleans up the beer bottles surrounding their campfire by tossing them into the splashing waves. Little does she know some 6 year old Thai kid without money for medical care will inevitably step on that beer bottle the next morning while playing in the surf. But how could she know? That would require forethought, something she obviously isn't too adept at. For if she had been she would have realized that the one thing you dont want to ferociously haggle over is a decent condom. Not that her family isn't wealthy enough to support her and her baby. It's just 10 years later when her 9 year old is screaming in the backseat of Granpap's Land Cruiser at his handheld video game her mind will wander back to that fatefull night on the beach. She'll drive on, through the lush manicured hills of Welshire Blvd and wonder how on earth she could have brought herself to sleep with that no-good, hippy, dippy, son of a bitch...who allthough he swore would love her forever, got high and wandered into the redlight district of Bomaby, never to be seen or heard from again. Now I'm not saying this is all because of clownpants. But come on people, a2+b2 =c2...and I think we all know what that means. ___________________________ 'The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'To talk of many things: Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings -- And why the sea is boiling hot -- And whether pigs have wings |

I'm in love. Will you be my guru? |

I've been afraid of clowns for as long as I could remember. Never got the attraction. So I guess I'd be in category 1. Then again, I do really enjoy a good fire juggling session.

As a pretentious 30-something wanna-be wine connoisseur, I take great offense to being likened to a set of clown pants dreadlocks. You and I are going to have it out later. ______________________________________________________________________________ Please note: the above member, who is the very model of a modern major-general, with information vegetable, animal, and mineral, has retired from BnA and won't be able to answer any follow-up questions.

Really, who could possibly add anything more after what Prisa wrote?? ;-)
Ditto. I'm not much interested in talking to then, and they would definitely not be interested in talking to me...seeing as I have been working for the same corporation for almost 5 yrs, and a few of my clothes are from Banana Republic. Gulp. I'd be SO rejected by them. ;-) |

DAMN, Prisa!
What are you wearing? I wanna dress like YOU from now on. My online conversations about this topic will now always include "You should see the thing Prisa wrote on this very topic." And, in closing.....DAMN! D |

Sounds kinda like those obnoxious organic sufi-dancer-on-the-coast types I remember. Always spouting some nonsense about the cosmic universe and oneness and could you please give them some of your money from the facist imperialist job you work....
I dunno. Clownpants must be regional. We don't have any in Russia. We have some 70's biker wannabes, some laughable pseudo goths with blonde slavic dreads (not good), lots of rhinestone Dollchee & Cabana stripperettes. No clowns. Going to Turkey in a couple of weeks. If I meet some of these heathens should I: Ask for an autographed photo? Refuse to give them my ill-gotten money? Throw a bucket of water on their fire juggling? Smoke their weed for free? I'm flexible. |

Clownpants dreadlocks are particularly prevalent on southern Thailand's beaches.

Was she British? These two are British. The one in the back with the real REAL homely dreads is Spanish

I feel a wave of "What Not To Wear" coming on.
Ohmygod, look at those pants! What was he thinking when he put those on? Where do you even get such pants?! Is he wearing them with mukluks? Is that Pippi Longstockings in front of him? Please tell me that these folks don't go to Turkey in the fall.... |
