The Big Rock Candy Mountain Jester



As some of you might have noticed, a certain clown features quite prominently in all areas of the mountain. This man, this shaky pillar of madness with all his drunken mumbly wisdom is none other than Shakes McChagen and he is our site mascot.

Where mascot equals

Mascot \Mas"cot\, Mascotte \Mas"cotte\, n. [Through French fr.
    Pr. mascot a little sorcerer or magician, mascotto
    witchcraft, sorcery.]
    1. A person who is supposed to bring good luck to the
       household to which he or she belongs.

And not some dumb fucker dressed in a goddamn funfur animal suit that represents fuck knows what to some long dead asshole who said to himself, hey I know, let’s have a giant bloody beaver wielding a spatula represent us. Yeah, it so clearly symbolizes all that we are, will be and can ever be.

No.

We know this man.

This man represents the trenchant core of the mountain like no other.

While not being a professional vagrant who will work for beer.

Shakes is a professional clown of rare skill. He doesn’t stop there though, alongside juggling, fire eating and breathing, fire juggling, tiny normal and high unicycling as well as general buffoonery that will make the most stone faced child soil itself with laughter. He is also accomplished in the freak show art and has been known to do any number of insane things to his body in front of an audience. Whether it be lying on a bed of nails while your girlfriend, yeah that’s right your girlfriend drops a bowling ball or fighting a knife wielding badger.

If this wasn’t enough, he can found entertaining children with tricks and balloon creations at birthday parties and gatherings.

Check him out. Drop him a line.

He is available to entertain.
