Being a clown must be an awful job these times, they just genuinely want to put a smile on peoples faces yet everybody pretends that they’re scary for some reasons. Most people who say they’re are afraid of clowns probably don’t actually suffer from colrophobia and just want to be part of the clown-frightened norm.
See my thread "Scared of Clowns?" pretty good thread on the subject,with a poll..

Posted this on the "side piece" board but I think it deserves to be mentioned here as well...

Being born and bred in lovely North Carolina I really have a problem with how the rest of the nation approaches the pronunciation of Appalachian, both the university and the mountains themselves.

There is no hard A at all in the word people.

As my fellow Tar Heel Sundrop put it if you can say AppleAtChin you should be close to a correct pronunciation. Could some of you please forward this to proper media outlets CBS,ABC,CNN and especially ESPN.

We in the Old North State would be thankful.

Wrong! Must be a southern thing. I live on one of the Appalachian mountains in PA… the Blue Mountain. And the Appalachian Trail is just up the road from me. We in the birthplace of freedom and democracy pronounce it Appa-LAY-shuhn. I guess the pronunciation depends on whether you’re from the cornfields or the coalfields. Meh…tomato, tomAHto. :)

Um, no.....you're saying it wrong. ;;D
The local Native Americans called the mountain range Appalachee.....they pronounce it all soft A's. The Appalachian Trail runs right through here as well. We say it AppleAtChin...... and I've never eaten a tomAHto.....doesn't sound tasty at all!!

Good information! I always thought that Shaggy had the right attitude about dealing with scary characters.

Being 66 now you’d think he finally learn that every time you encounter a monster it’s just a guy in a costume.
Also why do so many people in the Scooby doo universe commit crimes by dressing up as monsters? These are random people too, not some criminal ring of monster costumed crooks.
