Big Gary forwarded me
this news story about a "machete-wielding gang in angry clown make-up" who have been attacking people in Washington State. The article notes that the group call themselves "juggalos" and often shout "Woo, woo, juggalo!" to each other as they attack victims. The article concludes by noting: "Juggalos often dress in black and wear clown face paint."
Big Gary wonders:
"Does Seattle really have a subculture of people who call themselves 'Juggalos,' dress in black, wear 'angry clown' face paint, and carry machetes? And if so, how do I join?"
Yes, Gary. There is such a subculture of Juggalos. But please, as a favor to me, reconsider your decision to join them. It really tears me up inside every time a Museum-of-Hoaxer succumbs to the dark side and ends up prowling the streets as an angry, machete-wielding clown. I've seen it happen far too often!
As for these Juggalos. They're fans of the musical group
Insane Clown Posse. Though as the site
whatisajuggalo.com explains, they go beyond merely being fans:
Many people often believe that Juggalos & Juggalettes are just another name for fans of Insane Clown Posse. Being a Juggalo is much more than liking the music; it is a way of life. A fan is someone who only likes the music either because it's the fad right now, or because they want to conform. Fans don't see the true message of the music, just the outer layer. Fans are quick to forget you as soon as the next big sensation comes along. They also will hound ICP for autographs and see them only as big famous stars. A Juggalo is one who lives their life by the hatchet. In other words, they believe in the true meaning behind ICP's songs try to live by J and Shaggy's preachings. Juggalos are down with the clown for life, and will never turn their back on ICP because they are said to be "uncool." ... They are dedicated to Psychopathic forever.
For what it's worth, my advice if you see a machete-wielding clown approaching you in a dark park at night: run the other way as fast as you can.

Still, that's some freaky stuff.
You'd think they would be fairly easy to spot.
yes the music talks about serial killers, but everyone knows the artists arn't mass murders, for those who take it seriously, they need to be shot
they make the whole family look like we hide in the shadows and eat people alive... idiots!
:lol:
Bottom line -- do your research. Thank you.
and its hatchets not machetes!
if your gonna talk shit atleast get it right and kno what your talkin bout.
that fuckin author has no goddamn clue what the fuck hes talkin about.
we only swing our hatchets when we need to defend ourselves or another wicked clown.
so yeah ftfo
i think it is best said it "homies"
"I never knew that I could depend,
That I could have some friends, thats down to the very end
Well thats my homeboys excuse me, my family,
And when we conquer the world, we mackin' on the galaxy
Cause the skys the limit and we ain't finished,
And if my homies gonna ride than you know I'm with it."
