What are the Odds of this!!

Funny. The odds seem pretty long, but there is a higher chance that the guy is not a birthday clown and is in fact some guy who gets a kick out of dressing like a clown.

That's pretty funny. What are the odds of getting your mini carjacked by a clown?

I was waiting for a reason to link this:

A friend suggested a photographer on facebook to me. Check out the she-clowns hanging around the mini in this album (hope the link works).

So far, easily one of my fave MINI stories. My question is, where can I purchase the sticker?!! Please, I have to have it! I don't live around your area, so I wouldn't technically be 'copying' you!

Damn you creative types!! Now I have to make one? If this was your idea (maybe it wasn't? I don't get out much!), it's completely marketable, you could sell, overcharge and I would be the happy sucker who would buy it!! I'll see what can be made over at CafePress or something, but I love, love your idea [copyright goblintim]! Thanks for sharing the pic as well.

I found this picture set to be oddly sexy, yet haunting and mildly disturbing. I'm not sure, but I might need therapy after that. That poor MINI surely will be scarred for life.

Wow- a million to one chance

I would bet the chance of this happening is just as great as a chance to hit a lotto.

You ever consider that was his brother you killed, and he's out for revenge? That laugh may have been an evil clown laugh.
