Clowns humiliate racist clowns

post from THE DARK MIND OF BLACKWING BEAR on 18 June 2009 11:59:00 PM. © THE DARK MIND OF BLACKWING BEAR

When the white supremacist group VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK tried to host a hate rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, they were foiled by ? clowns!Unfortunately for [VNN] the 100th ARA (Anti Racist Action) clown block came and handed them their asses by making them appear like the asses they were.Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns. ?White Power!? the Nazi?s shouted, ?White Flour?? the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt ?White Flour?.?White Power!? the Nazi?s angrily shouted once more, ?White flowers?? the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.?White Power!? the Nazi?s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, ?ohhhhhh!? the clowns yelled ?Tight Shower!? and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan?s directions.At this point several of the Nazi?s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed ?White Power!? The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. ?Ohhhhh?? the women clowns said. ?Now we understand??, ?WIFE POWER!? they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting ?WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!?

Hot Lake Hotel

post from Ghost Stories on 18 June 2009 11:53:00 PM. © Ghost Stories

Hot Lake Hotel was originally in 1864 in La Grande, Oregon during the gold rush. It became THE place for vacationers as the 205 degree sulfurous Hot Lake were thought to have healing properties. A Dr. William T. Phy bought the establishment in 1917 and turned it in to a state-of-the-art medical facility known as the "Mayo Clinic of the West". Actually, the Mayo Brothers who established the Mayo Clinic were freguent visitors. Wild Bill Hickok and his Wild West Show also visited Hot Lake regularly. Prior owners and investors include Governor Walter M. Pierce and Senator Parish L. Willis. There Dr. Phy practice along side his son Marcus until his death in 1931 from a cold or alleged radiation poisoning. Marcus committed suicide a couple of years later.

In 1934, a fire destroyed the ballroom and library. The remaining buildings went on to be a hotel. Then later an insane asylum, a nightclub, nursing home and restaurant in the 1970s. Nurses trained there during World War II. The same railroad that brough Hot Lake buisness was rerouted guests, the new highway bypassed it and the Depression further led to its dormancy in 1991. It fell prey to vandals and the elements, changing ownership several times. Pruchased by The Manuels, it began restoration in 2003 and was scheduled to re-open late 2008.

It is rumored to be haunted by a former gardener who committed suicide, old vacationers and former patients from its sanitorium days. Some people have reported hearing music from the third floor where an old piano formerly owned by Robert E. Lee's wife use to be. Former caretakers have heard footsteps and a woman's screams from the old surgery room.
