Ringling Bros. Kilted Clown

[HeathBar]

Can anyone find a picture of the performer? I'm really curious now.

Ringling Bros website only had a headshot of him. And the news channel that did the morning piece didn't have anything either.

Here's the best description of what I saw. The kilt was dark green with small checks, it looked liked it was gathered rather than pleated, kinda like the old Sport Kilts. He had an "exagerated" hair sporran. It was similar to a normal sized one (sporran that is), just with a clowns touch. He was also wearing a gold doublet with a large, red rampant lion on it. I think he had a regular looking balmorel style bonnet with dicing. They never showed below the bottom of the kilt. So hose and shoes were not seen. I think Kilted Code Warrior said he had seen the clown live. Maybe he can elaborate further.

Friends, look at it this way; if the clowns from the beginning of time haven't tarnished the idea of wearing pants with their costume pants then one clown wearing a kilt isn't going to hurt anything in the least little bit. Consider this, the extreme baggy look of a clowns pants has only affected the feble minded, I mean, who wears baggy pants and baseball caps with the bills turned around and T-shirts that drag on the ground but gang-bangers and wanna bees that flock to any fad that comes down the pike.
Now I don't mean this to offend anyone here that wears these baggy fashions but come on now, what man worth his salt wants to look like a foolish clown? My point is that anyone that takes this clown idea up has a problem with individuality, no? Why should it have any effect on the rest of the reponsible population? :confused:

Heathbar pretty much described him. He was wearing hose, some bright color, and overlarge, clownish shoes (imagine that!). I am trying to remember if we bought a program. Will check to see if there is a picture, and also check to see if we snapped a pic.

In the words of the Bard"This above all, to thine own self be true" All of us kilted brothers and sisters are entitled to our own point of view. If the man doesn't want to see the circus,fine. It is not our job to try and win him over. Or vice versa. Shanti, brothers and sisters, Shanti
