But for the record, it’s not the most frightening picture I’ve seen. That honor goes to the King of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson.
I actually screamed when this mugshot popped up on my homepage. Screamed. In terror.

Great post! A book by Larry “Bozo” Harmon just released today actually… “The Man Behind the Nose: Assassins, Astronauts, Cannibals, and Other Stupendous Tales”. Anyone in the Los Angeles area should come celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bozo the Clown at the book signing this weekend! http://lcoonline.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/come-celebrate-the-50th-anniversary-of-bozo-the-clown/
