shawn "clown" crahan

a.k.a. (#6), one of the founding members of the masked metal Band Slipknot... his nickname comes from the fact that he wears a clown mask on stage during the band's live performances... his equipment consists of 2 empty beer kegs, 2 toms and 2 bass drums... he and percussionist Chris Fehn would supply the backbeat to Slipknot's former drummer, Joey Jordison... during their early touring years, Clown was noted for injuring himself on stage--during Ozzfest '99, he even slammed his head into his kegs, causing an injury that required 39 stitches to heal... Clown has been a mighty contributor to the band in that besides his writing and playing, he has also directed 5 of their music videos as well as their third video album Voliminal: Inside the Nine... Currently, he has the longest tenure in Slipknot at 20 years... Slipknot's frontman Corey Taylor has stated that while Shawn is sane, "Clown" is crazy!

Dude, that mask is creepy. I know, that's Shawn "Clown" Crahan. I wouldn't mess with him, just enjoy the show!

Total Clown School

1. When you should be taking something serious but everyone is completely out of control in a silly way.

2. Taking video games more serious than school work.

3. Choosing to play hallway dodgeball rather than study for a midterm or final.

3. Totally blowing off anything important in life just so you can have a good time.

Matt: You super glued his tooth brush holder and deoderant closed?

Sam: this is total clown school.
--------------------------------------------------------
Rob: Dude, lets play some Super Smash Bros.

Brian: Naw man, I have two papers and a test tomorrow...Fuck it, 99 lives. Lets Go.

Sam: This is total clown school.
--------------------------------------------------------
Evan: They moved 5 beds into one room and didn't get written up for it?

Sam: This is total clown school.

Happy Vim the Clown

An underground comedy musician, best known for his work in the Psycho Clown Brothers. He releases comedy rap records independantly, and also stars in the underground comedy shows "Monitoring Cell 13" and "Late Night Clown Show" with his long time comedy partner Gigglechopz the Clown. Unfortunatelly, he never reached mainstream status due to his macarbe comedy style being a very "aquired taste". He almost always appears in his attire as a creepy looking clown for both his music, and his shows.

Norgoth: I heard a comedy song last night by some guy dressed as a creepy looking clown. Do you know him?

Gornoth: Yea, that's Happy Vim the Clown. I think. He's a lunatic.

Tranny Clown

Anything ridiculous and embarrassing. It usually implies a small element of skankiness. (Abbreviated "tc" for short)

That girl is dancing like a freak, what a tranny clown.

He is tranny clowning all over the place.
