Whilst The Last Great Clown Hunt may not be fresh in people's memories, it's worth going back and listening to. Combine it with Bo's perfect episode art, and you have a double-fecta.

Refresh your memory on the record breaking discussion on Morris & the Machine while you are at it.

Go for the repeat, Mr.Pratt...

Gonna be a close one this year, that much is obvious.

Fierce competition (as always), but there can be only one: Morris and the Machine.

Looks like there're some very quiet Clown fans out there. Obviously whitefaces.

I love me the Clowns. I'm just a sucker for multidimensional, coherent zaniness. If real life is the melody, Clowns is the claxon harmony. Or vice versa.

The Mongoose and 2nd Conquest are both way up there. But I'm not feeling Morris so much. I still don't really get why everyone doesn't agree with me about this stuff.

I agree with you strawman. Does that help?

He's afraid to speak up! Get 'im!

Different strokes for different folks. I don't understand what everyone saw in The Fantasy Jumper, but there it is.

Me neither. Good piece, but not best 'o year. You quote by clicking on "quote" in the top right of the message.
