Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Larry Harmon, who appeared as Bozo the Clown for decades and licensed the name to more than 200 other Bozos around the world, had died at age 83. The business -- combining animation, licensing of the character, and personal appearances -- made millions.

His son, Ronald McDonald, is immortal, however.

Honk! Bye Larry. :(


Honk!

I hate clowns.

How do you look in the mirror?

I know it's sick but all I can think of is the "Chuckles Bites The Dust" episode
of the Mary Tyler Moore show.

That episode was a classic.

Chuckles Bites The Dust

Best. MTM. EVAR!

RIP Bozo.

Be Well.

Krusty and Homey are still favorites.

Never really watched Bozo but while growing up on the westcoast, Tater Tot Spud was a big fan of JP Patches and his transvestite pal, Gertrude.

It's a Seattle thang.

Ya gotsta understand.

Be Well.

/Any other Westcoastin' Drudgies remember JP and his ICU2 TV?

Cram it, clownie.

BOZO is RITGLHDAO!

(rolling in the grave laughing his dead ass off)

Guess Seasoned McRumpy could always take his place - he sure ain't getting his floppy shoes in the WH. He might have trouble getting that clown blouse over his head though...

Bozo was very significant thus we call dumb folks "Bozos." I've never made fun of someone by calling them "Clarabelle." Only Bozo defined what a "bozo" is.

Well, ...until Dumbya came along and redefined the term.

^_^

Be Well.

We're all Bozos on this bus.

Death is a bozo no-no.

So is spamming the thread with shitty music, rex amayon. Get rid of this clown, rogers.

Please?

Its obvious from his picture that he has just received the goose of a lifetime.

George: You've never heard of Bozo the Clown?
Eric: No!
George: How could you not know who Bozo the Clown is?
Eric: I don't know, I just don't.
George: How can you call yourself a clown and not know who Bozo is?
Eric: Hey, man - what are you hassling me for? This is just a gig, it's not my life. I don't know who Bozo is, what - is he a clown?
George: Is he a clown? What, are you kidding me!?

"a bozo no-no."

I tried but couldn't remember that line, I had a friend who used to say it all the time.

Thank God. Clowns are stupid.

We're all Bozos on this bus.

Apparently our childhood was scammed by bozo clones. I tbought Detroit's Bozo (no not the current Mayor) was the only one.

Did anybody else havea Captain Jolly?

When I first read the headline, I thought you libs were trying to tar and feather me!

Oh well, RIP...

No you don't! BILL CLINTON IS NOT BOZO!

I hated clowns, but Bozo was the shit.

So is that other clown Jesse helms. Coincidence? I think not...

Bozo gone!..much sadder than Jesse Helms!!

I used to eat lunch in a bar in Chicago. Bozo the clown was on the tube and would pick some kids out of the studio audience to throw beanbags for a chance to win a bicycle. Patrons of the bar would bet on which kid would win the bike. Serious money changed hands.

Bozo was real clown who brought joy into the lives of many wee peoples.

Jesse was an asskkklown who invoked hate and called it his "values".

Be Well.

America in decline as foolish Americans continue to elect Bozos to office.

Ray-I'll have to disagree with you on this one.

There isn't ANYONE in the Executive branch that has an IQ even approaching that of a mentally retarded mosquito.

I grew up on Bozo. I remember you used to have to pretty much buy tickets at birth if you wanted the child to play the ball-toss game when they were 6. The waiting list was THAT long.

Tickets just to attend the show were usually a few months in advance. Bozo was awesome. Really, those who lived outside of Chicago missed out on a great thing. Imagine the Krusty the Klown show, only real life. That was Bozo. Cartoons and everything. It was endearing entertainment. What was real nice is Bozo wasn't condescending. He taught kids lessons, but he never talked to them like they were idiots.

And every Bozo he franchised off to pretty much had to have a heart of gold, just like Larry. He was never in that part of it for the money... he just wanted to be sure that Bozo could be wherever kids needed him. A dear, sweet man. He and Mr. Rogers are surely keeping all the children in Heaven entertained.

And yes, I'm aware that Chicago's Bozo wasn't this particular man... but still. They're all Bozo to me, and this man shaped Bozo as he will forever be known.
