One of my goals this year is to get a passport. After I get one, I want to travel the world, starting in Germany or maybe Vietnam. One of my dreams is to race a Smart Fortwo around the Nürburgring. I also want to travel Australia, meeting Lewin and Laurence along the way. Hopefully, I’ll avoid the continent’s seemingly mean wildlife. Thankfully, it would seem a clown named Murderclown the Sane is the least you’ll have to worry about.
I say this because Lewin helped Murderclown the Sane install a head unit in a truck. Lewin scored a free Honda Civic in exchange for the duty, and he managed to flip it for $2,000, which isn’t bad. Our readers were certainly clowning around in the comments of this one, from Stig’s Cousin:
“I Got A Free Civic Doing a Favor For a Clown And Flipped It For $2000”
There was a time when a headline like this would have immediately captured my attention due to its absurdity. It is amazing that after two years of The Autopian my strange-headline-o-meter has been recalibrated to a point where that headline didn’t even faze me.
That the clown in question is called “Murderclown the Sane” was a bit unexpected, though.
To DialMforMiata:
In a land where everything is trying to eat you or poison you, somehow “Murderclown the Sane” makes perfect sense.
And Michael Beranek:
Shouldn’t Murderclown be driving a Z3 coupe?
I have a bit of an obsession with U-Haul. I’m the weirdo who walks into a U-Haul store and chats up the employees about their trailers and if they know about how the company used to rent fiberglass campers in the past. I’m probably one of maybe a few people who hasn’t worked for U-Haul before with that sort of addiction. Anyway, I wrote about the different types of U-Haul equipment out there and what their codes are.
Chris Stevenson caught a line I wrote in that story:
Some Michigan U-Haul dealers even rented adult movies, so you could bust more than a move.
Bravo!
Have a great evening, everyone!
Well damn. First time I’ve logged on today (two cars to wash and a garage to finish painting) and COTD! Woo hoo!
I gotta say making COTD is a very nice way to start the day. Autopian’s brain trust has created a great community here.
Not gonna lie, I thought Murderclown was this guy at first glance: https://youtu.be/pVbtFP40E50
Anyway, glad to see Lewin is down with the clown. Maybe someday he’ll figure out how magnets work. (Maybe.)
But how do magnets work?
Really, any explanation of magnets that would fit in this comment wold be wrong, or at least incomplete, so I’ll stick with: “magnets work because they’re magnetic”.
Glue.

What is Australian for Juggalo?
Are there any down unders that are down with the clowns?
I know the upside downs feelings about Fosters.
How do they feel about Faygo?
It’s these types of social journalistic questions that keep me up at night.
Murderface is a beloved character from Dethklok, with good reason.

Murderbot is a beloved SciFi character who is getting their own show on Apple TV. I guess being murderous is now cool.
