Almost as scary as Mexican clowns

... is that freakish humanoid monster, Santa Claus. Children can sense his sinister nature. I hate to see children get upset, but for some reason, these photos make me laugh out loud. (My favorite is number 8.)

Rather than subject Seamus to this torture, we will send him into preschool armed with twenty scientific reasons why Santa can't possibly be real. The resulting social ostracism will toughen him up.

Speaking of Mexican clowns, I went looking for a photo of one and found this:


I don't even know where to begin to describe what's wrong with this picture. From the Che wristband to the broken-off sideview car mirror, it's just completely, profoundly WRONG. I think we can all agree that this guy should not be allowed within fifty yards of any children, much less be "performing" for them.

Okay, that clown thing is pretty scary.

Today Stephanie and I were downtown and we saw some very disturbing things: first, a guy dressed like Santa (I really don't think it was the Real Santa), holding a sign that said "Free Hugs." I didn't see anyone taking him up on it.

We were creeped out by that, until we happened upon this guy:

The pic was taken with my cell phone, but if you can't tell, this is a guy dressed in what appears to be an orange latex body suit, playing an accordian. Seriously, I might have nightmares.

I discovered that he's actually The Great Morgani, and each of his costumes is more frightening than the last. Check out his website:

Eeek.

Re The Great Morgani: wow. This guy is clearly operating on a different plane of reality than the rest of us. I think it's kind of cool, actually -- but only if he's a good accordionist.

I like the costume that looks like the Hamburgler.
