Nothing relives constipation better than a daily dose of a clown with Marie Antoinette.

Creepy clown or not? You choose.

I'm not really fond of Pinterest because I find the idea of just going around the net and grabbing stuff to put on a page under your name is a bit lazy. • I have discovered that there is a woman, Diane Harris-Day, who has chosen to use my title, Tattered and Lost, for ephemera she posts. I find this irritating. • That said, I just want people to be aware that I am NOT that woman. I find it odd that she chose the title I have been using for years. It's one thing to take someone's images, it's a whole other thing to appropriate their identity.
What the Hell is that in the middle? A KEG? LOL
ReplyDeleteI wondered the same thing! That's pretty interesting bottle for prune juice. I wonder if any of them exist anymore.
DeleteVery creepy clown... I wonder if they used this campaign when the circus was in town or on its way? Or did they just think circus people had constipation...?
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly would have got people talking. But then I'm wondering how tired that particular clown got having "Hey look, it's the constipated clown!" yelled at him. Perhaps he was known as Pluggo.
DeleteLOL, perhaps he was!
