QOD: The Greatest Show on Earth gets derided a lot for being the worst Best Picture Winner ever, but I think it’s one of the greatest movies ever! Jimmy Stewart played a clown with a secret who never removed his makeup. What was his secret ? (Why was he hiding out in the circus)
Nope. Not sure I have ever seen the movie.
5 Point Bonus: What was the name of Cornel Wilde’s character in the movie (just a first name won’t do it)?
Nope
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Co-star Gloria Grahame also won an Oscar that year, but not for The Greatest Show on Earth. What movie got her the award?
Nope
Did I mention yuk?

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

1. Everly Brothers Cathy's Clown (one of the greatest 'drum' songs ever)
2. Gene Kelly and the Nicholas Brothers No Clue
3. Judy Collins Send in the Clowns (U2 used to do this one in concerts, they were asked to stop.)
4. Smokey Robinson & the Miracles Tears of a Clown (Pagliacci you know)
5. Moe Bandy No Clue
QOD: The Greatest Show on Earth gets derided a lot for being the worst Best Picture Winner ever, but I think it’s one of the greatest movies ever! Jimmy Stewart played a clown with a secret who never removed his makeup. What was his secret ? He never removed his make up because he knew he was in one of the worst movies evah!
5 Point Bonus: What was the name of Cornel Wilde’s character in the movie (just a first name won’t do it)? Oscar
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Co-star Gloria Grahame also won an Oscar that year, but not for The Greatest Show on Earth. What movie got her the award? Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla

12/12 Can’t Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me
(I was going to give super secret bonus points to anybody who referenced the Simpson or Alice Cooper in regards to the title, but they went unclaimed.
This one is simple. Rather than a lot of blah, blah describing the song, fun fact, blah, blah, I’ve given you the artist. You give me the song.
1. Everly Brothers
CATHY'S CLOWN
2. Gene Kelly and the Nicholas Brothers
BE A CLOWN
Everybody who answered Be a Clown while I still had it as Donald O'Connor must get as mixed up as I do with those two songs! Nitrah got 20 extra bonus points for catching this.
3. Judy Collins
SEND IN THE CLOWNS
4. Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
TEARS OF A CLOWN
This is my second favourite song with circus music (the first is Three Dog Night's The Show Must Go On)
5. Moe Bandy
BANDY THE RODEO CLOWN
Moe Bandy was a staple on the soundtrack that accompanied my drinking days.

He was a doctor who performed a mercy killing on his wife. Everybody who mentioned murder got points, doctor without murder got points, wintergreen got extra points for being specific as to who he murdered. I think I gave running from the law points too.
5 Point Bonus: What was the name of Cornel Wilde’s character in the movie (just a first name won’t do it)?
THE GREAT SEBASTIAN
My dad did a great Cornel Wilde. All he'd have to do to crack us both up was make a claw hand and say 'oh, donuts!'
