The second clown especially bothered me. It was a stuffed beast, and I couldn't tell if it was human (or as close as a clown can come,) or some sort of animal creature. It also had this insane grin which reminded me of of John Wayne Gacy, while also having a bit of smugness that made you just want to slap it. Due to this extreme horridness, this clown was deemed worthy of the more powerful explosives. We used what I think is called a mortar, and gave the clown a gunpowder enema and propped it on the base.
Needless to say, the result was quite spectacular. The head blew clear off, while the body just flopped to the ground.
Here you see liftoff for the clowns head, while the rest of the body remains, looking like the result of a bad Mr. Bill skit.
A scene quite reminiscent of a nuclear holocaust, the flash / mushroom cloud explosion was quite a site to behold.
Admitting defeat, the clown drops to the ground, hoping the worst is over. But it's not...
