In Cleveland we had Barnaby and Ghoulardi, respectively, but I missed out on them. I came around in time for Superhost, who is still beloved by middle-aged locals.

Bozo or Boso is a semi-common Eastern European first name. Once I found that out, I couldn't help wondering if there was a bit of racial humor in using it for a clown.

Same here, I never understood the appeal. I guess we were on the very tail end of the era when clowns were good things. But I enjoyed various costumed movie hosts, which don't seem that different in retrospect.

Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist.

Well, they did.

Welcome to 2017. Appearances are what counts, analysis beyond gut feelings is morally wrong, and all that really matters is what team you're on.

It has one character briefly suggest that "women have no value if they aren't gorgeous" and then refutes the notion definitively. This is the central moral of the episode. In both of his appearances, Mudd served as a critique of outdated gender norms. The series did have problematic aspects, even in the context of…

I'm cool with that, as long as they don't blow it again with a Cumberbatch switcheroo approach.

Some of them wield a surprisingly big yub nub. I suggest keeping your distance until the spawning season winds down, as they can't always control themselves. Lucas filmed all the Ewok scenes in October just to be on the safe side.

Remember when China switched out child singers for the Olympics because the actual child singer wasn't considered cute enough? Reality carries less weight every day.

I find this to be affectation.

Dancing in a field with Ewoks, you?

If intent is a factor the law will usually say so. Presumably Virginia also has laws against menacing and assault, to cover all the clown stuff. Many jurisdictions use "disorderly conduct" as a catch-all charge for making anyone feel uncomfortable. It's typically a very minor offense but it gives the state an…

One of the elements here is that it has to cover or conceal your face, not just alter the coloring. Joker still looked like Heath Ledger and this guy still looks like this guy. They'll probably plead him out to disorderly conduct or something.

That thing about the nuns. Fucking fuck.

It almost sounds old-timey, like a mimeograph.

That could be on purpose per direction. You're right though, it looks deeper.
