We’ll get to that later.
Today is le day of le birth of Le Clown. If it had fallen on a Monday, we would have likely gotten a day off from work.
Something to live for next year, I guess.
The Ringmistress (Le Ringmistress if you are Quebecian) has planned a special birthday surprise for his magnificence™ that I can only assume involves a clown car and monkeys. I am a pawn in this surprise. This post will give Le Birthday Boy™ a letter of le alphabet and a nudged to the next stop on le Scavenger Hunt.
This is why I’ve called in the big guns.
Hugo, are those my tonsils?
That looks like something a serial killer drew.
So what is the super cryptic clue you came up with that will leave Le Clown puzzling for hours?
You’re a regular Sphinx, you know that. So where does he head now?
Fulk if I know too. I am also a Sphinx.
Happy Birthday, dear friend. Although you are older, thankfully you are not wiser.

Hey, it’s my birthday, today as well. I shall have to go share some birthday joy with LeClown…I haven’t any tonsils to give him (well, I still have them but they are still attached). I wonder if he would like a kidney stone?
Happy birthday to you too, K8edid!
Happy Birthday Katy! Another brilliant January baby!
Thanks, Elyse. It’s been a lovely day so far…
I think all January babies are, well, brilliant
Happy Birthday! Hugo is intently staring at your avatar as we speak. I’m sorry if that ruins your birthday because he’s doing it extra creepy.
Tell him to stop or I’ll put up a picture of me in my actual birthday suit. Then he’ll know “creepy”
K8edid,
Happy birthday to you too! It’s a great day, January 27th… Mozart was born on our day, too…
Le Clown
I know – nothing but genuises! Right?
happy birthday, dear, Katy!
Happy Birthday, LeClown!
You are the cryptiest.
maybe that should be Crypticiest?
I think both are acceptable. I will check the urban dictionary.
Speaker7 you and Hugo are awesome.
I am out of order — am I allowed to follow the clues randomly and wish Le Clown a Happy Groundhog Day? No? Shit.
Happy Birthday, Le Clown.
I think if you follow the clues out of order it means six more weeks of winter.
Shit. I was expecting spring next week.
Hugo does kinda look like a serial killer, doesn’t he? I never noticed that before.
You’ve never noticed that? Hugo’s face is what they use in the “how to know if someone’s a serial killer” pamphlet.
Well, see, I never got that pamphlet otherwise I would’ve known. I was absent that day.
that was creepy and awesome in a way that makes me want to have nightmares.
You’re welcome.
Speaker7,
Did you and Ego, I mean, Hugo hear me laughing from my bed? And it was not because of dilaudid… Fuckin’ A… Off to La Tracy Fulks! Thank you, She-Who-I-Know-Her-Real-Name-But-Won’t-Say-Anything-That-Could-Compromise-You-Gertrude.
Le Clown
Le Clown,
Be careful. I hear dialudid can cause giggling to turn into rage-giggling. I think that’s one of the side effects as well as balloon feet. Happy Birthday!
Speaker7
Balloon feet sounds like such an appropriate side-effect for Le Clown… who else would appreciate it?
Even with Hugo’s tonsil extracting you wrote a brilliant post. And we can all be silently thrilled Le Clown is no wiser. It gives us another year to try catch up.
Hugo has already staked claim to my gallbladder, the next vestigial organ to come out. I can’t wait to see what I’ll write after that.
I think I’ll wait to see what you write after that happens. Maybe my next letter will be to Hugo. I’ll ask him to stand down on the doctoral experiments.
I regret you have but one par of tonsils to give for Clown Boy.
Happy birthday, LC/E!
Pretty soon, I’ll be able to offer a gallbladder since mine has been acting like a giant a-hole as of late. What do you expect from something full of bile?
“That looks like something a serial killer drew.” “Thank you.” I snorted. Never have I found a psychopath so charming.
Hugo has a way with the ladies.
I love Hugo’s drawing. He is so creep-a-licious!
He was so proud of it too. He’s been measuring it to see if it can be framed.
Hugo’s drawing and his ‘thank you’ made me cackle with glee. happy bday to le clown!
You would think that one would normally shy away from comparisons to serial killers, but not Hugo.
Darla,
Thank you…
Le Clown
Great birthday post Mr. S7 😛
Thank you Mr. Wendy.
Creepy, cool post!
Well done!
Thank you. It was definitely creepy. Anything with Hugo is creepy.
