Can I just mentally wear a clown nose? I totally take myself way too seriously. ha!
Or how about a real one to the McLeod Residence tonight? That would be awesome! =)

Stop clowning around, I mean it! (Anybody want a peanut?)
I'm hear to report that a very strange thing is happening here at Biznik -member profiles are sprouting humiliatingly bright red clown noses. After reporting this to the Biznik team, they immediately investigated the possibility of viral sabotage to the biznik site. However, when I later looked in the mirror, I saw to my horror that this virus has apparently broken into the REAL WORLD! AAAAAHhhhhh!
But seriously...
If you are in support of:
- not taking yourself (or others!) too seriously
- having fun in life and work
- helping Leif not feel so silly and alone
- Bizjam (whether going or not)
then please commence clownification of your biznik profile by downloading this clownnose and then pasting it onto your profile picture.
Let's start a Nez-olution!

Posted by Tammy Redmon, Olympia, Washington | Jun 19, 2008Ok Leif, Thank you! I have been wondering and searching for the meaning/intention behind the red nose gig folks have going on. Got it and it's great! I think I'll take a little more time to familiarize myself with fellow 'biznikkers' without the flattering addition of the red nose. Not to take myself too seriously, just want a few more introductions minus a large red nose.
Stay tuned, it likely will appear one day soon. Thanks again!

Posted by Leif Hansen, Seattle, Washington | Jun 19, 2008Hehe. Of course! No pressure to wear one by anyone, there are good reasons to do it and good reasons not to do it (as well as ego reasons for both I'm sure as well.)
When/if one thinks it would be fun, then go for it.
And please feel free to clap a nose on me when I'm taking myself too seriously on another day (which is often...like, how about last night?)

Posted by Bob Dunn, Seattle and Renton, Washington | Jun 19, 2008Yeah, I figure Nuz will do the honor for a few days. Although not sure if his photo or mine will bring more visitors to my profile page. Something to ponder.

Posted by David Billings, Portland, Oregon | Jun 20, 2008Um... OK.
Please note the second step I took with my Ronald McDonald mouth.
This is serious business, very serious.

Posted by Howard Howell, Seattle, Washington | Jun 20, 2008Tonya... I just did a clown nose for you. Send me a personal email to "cars@howardhowell.com" and I will send it right back to you. Free gift for a nice gal. ...Howard

Thank you Howard. I just sent you an email. I have been trying to work on it for over an hour now...how silly am I!! I guess you can say I am clowning around..lol (I crack myself up)

Posted by Howard Howell, Seattle, Washington | Jun 20, 2008
Note that all clown noses do not need to be humiliating. We can sprout noses in "good taste". See Tonya's.
If you want a nose befitting your personality, just send me a personal email to: cars@howardhowell.com with the words "clown nose" in the subject line and I will send you a return email with your new nose.
Let's keep clown-ing around until after BizJam ...Howard
P.S. Anybody that wears their nose with Shameless Pride and attends my workshop at BizJam will receive a special gift from me.

Perfect Howard, I was thinking the same idea --hoping that people would where real ones to Bizjam ;) Nice nose Tonya. ;)

Posted by Howard Howell, Seattle, Washington | Jun 20, 2008
Thanks for Sparking the idea Leif. It is creative tools like this that can help build an online community for your business.
And, we should not take ourselves too seriously while Shamelessly Bragging about our business.

Okay, Howard, if we want these up till BizJam, I guess the cat has to go. But the nose didn't!
Tell me, is the nose that obvious?
-
Posted by Tonya Kirkland, Mill Creek, Washington | Jun 20, 2008
I think I might need a bigger nose :)
-
Posted by David Billings, Portland, Oregon | Jun 20, 2008
I'll split with you. Mine is big enough for two.

Posted by Tonya Kirkland, Mill Creek, Washington | Jun 21, 2008
Perfect...go ahead and send me half :)

Posted by Judy Dunn, Seattle & Renton, Washington | Jun 22, 2008Okay, I guess I'm a latent clown.
Seeing David Billings' face inspired me. Actually, I kind of like it.
And Andrey, on your coulrophobia (clown-o-phobia?), I wrote an intro to a magazine article about the Seafair Clowns (about a father and son team of clowns) and said that the son growing up was never afraid of clowns because he saw his father putting on his makeup that transformed him from ordinary dad to clown extraordinare. My editor said, "Maybe not, because most kids aren't even afraid of clowns."
But I'm not too sure about that. Interesting thought.

Posted by David Billings, Portland, Oregon | Jun 22, 2008
Judy, that's funny. I actually have a longtime fear of clowns. Maybe this will purge me.
Andrey, I never knew the word (coulda looked it up, I guess). Now I have a name for my fear.
