When A Clown With ‘Murderclown’ In His Name Is The Least Scary Thing In Your Country: COTD

One of my goals this year is to get a passport. After I get one, I want to travel the world, starting in Germany or maybe Vietnam. One of my dreams is to race a Smart Fortwo around the Nürburgring. I also want to travel Australia, meeting Lewin and Laurence along the way. Hopefully, I’ll avoid the continent’s seemingly mean wildlife. Thankfully, it would seem a clown named Murderclown the Sane is the least you’ll have to worry about.

I say this because Lewin helped Murderclown the Sane install a head unit in a truck. Lewin scored a free Honda Civic in exchange for the duty, and he managed to flip it for $2,000, which isn’t bad. Our readers were certainly clowning around in the comments of this one, from Stig’s Cousin:

“I Got A Free Civic Doing a Favor For a Clown And Flipped It For $2000”

There was a time when a headline like this would have immediately captured my attention due to its absurdity. It is amazing that after two years of The Autopian my strange-headline-o-meter has been recalibrated to a point where that headline didn’t even faze me.

That the clown in question is called “Murderclown the Sane” was a bit unexpected, though.

To DialMforMiata:

In a land where everything is trying to eat you or poison you, somehow “Murderclown the Sane” makes perfect sense.

And Michael Beranek:

Shouldn’t Murderclown be driving a Z3 coupe?

I have a bit of an obsession with U-Haul. I’m the weirdo who walks into a U-Haul store and chats up the employees about their trailers and if they know about how the company used to rent fiberglass campers in the past. I’m probably one of maybe a few people who hasn’t worked for U-Haul before with that sort of addiction. Anyway, I wrote about the different types of U-Haul equipment out there and what their codes are.

Chris Stevenson caught a line I wrote in that story:

Some Michigan U-Haul dealers even rented adult movies, so you could bust more than a move.

Bravo!

Have a great evening, everyone!
