Le Clown, you’re just going to have to guess. The letter you have earned appears in the following statement three times:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Le CLOWN! You magnificent beast!
The letter is a word unto itself, and the word is what you’d use to describe the thing that you think about most of the time. It is the fifth most common letter used in the alphabet and can also be used as a mathematical symbol.
If you can’t guess it, well, I guess I could be nice because I am that way, but I really think that I shouldn’t have to tell you what I am hinting at. I really don’t. I.. I .. I.. just don’t even know what to say if you don’t have it by now.
Got it yet? Let’s get on with the birthday celebrations.
A Year of Le Clown
It’s been an eventful year, where you came barging onto the blogosphere with your magnificent blogging presence. But the modest Le Clown didn’t brag about all of his accompishments. Here are some lesser known events the humble and gracious Le Clown failed to mention.
Le Clown handily beat the competition in the World Poutine Eating Championship. He went on to eat four kilograms of smoked meat after this just to fill the one-ab.
There was the clown convention, where you met many like minded carnies, and won for “Most Likely To Achieve Blogging Superstardom.” The clown on the right is currently serving 8-10 years for murder.
And Le Clown became cemented as a pop culture phenomenon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Santa fired all of his agents after having to follow you, and Hello Kitty impaled herself on the Chrysler Building. The Smurfs have no shame though. They were just grateful to be there.
And in one of the more regrettable incidents this year, there was your production of “Le Clown of the Cave Bear”
And now we just get to watch you try and top yourself this year.
On to the Birthday Traditions
Let one of Canada’s finest serenade you:
Just kidding. That was a really mean thing to do on your birthday. This should fix it, you magnificent Le Clown.
C’est magnifique, non?
I also found this gadget that combines a few of your other passions.

And of course cake. Because cake.

And mostly, thank you for gracing us with your presence on this turn around the Earth. I hope that the next swing around the sun is as full of magnificence. You deserve all good things, friend.
And back to the Scavenger Hunt
Here is your next clue:
Seek! (Image from je’mappelle tumblr)
Gorgeous, unafraid to adorn a mustache. However, unlike her cartoon doppelganger, she has a voice and is not afraid to use it. She does have men gazing at her adoringly much of the time. If she wasn’t so genuine and talented, I’d be jealous. Ok, I am totally jealous. Anyway.. go find her for your next clue!
You nailed, it, RG. Funny and frustratingly cryptic. Perfection.
I think I may have been trying to be too smart and it only worked out because we had you leading the show. ANYWAY, coffee is my friend.
Roller Giraffe,
This was me: Ok, I got it: It’s the letter Y. And you could hear Sara from the other room: Are you sure there’s not another letter appearing in her statement. So I‘m like: It’s the letter E for Eric! And Sara repeats the same thing until I fucking get it… RG, you’re my favourite Canadian after my wiife and Joan Holloway… That’s right. Thank you, and your made Photoshop skills… Off to Becca!
Eric
I admit, I could have been a little clearer. But who wants clarity at 8:05 am on a Sunday morning?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD! (I heard in french bastard is a compliment.)
That was fucking fantastic. Your photo’s made me shart coffee from my rectus maximus.
My sincere apologies to your chair. To be honest, more furniture is ruined that way than you think.
Fantastic! You have some mad Photoshop skillz, lady. I WANT that R2D2 coffee maker!!!!!
I wish I could take credit for the R2D2, but some geek already out-thought me there (not surprising at all).
I am frightened that there is actually such a thing a poutine eating contest.
I know! I thought I would have to photoshop that into existence, but turns out that there’s ample photos of people shoving poutine in their poutine holes for fame and fortune. And heart-disease.
You and Photoshop are a force to be reckoned with. I can’t believe how many shining themed cakes there are.
Great job.
In a past life I spent a lot of time at a job photoshopping things. Not for my job, but to play practical jokes on people. I am still paying for that in various ways.
This is hilarious. If only you could include this on a resume.
Jen, fabulous job! You are quite talented with the Photoshop. And, you’re so tricky. I feel like a need a map for this scavenger hunt!
I think I outsmarted myself on the letter clue, but fortunately The Ringmistress was a willing guide taking Le Clown through the wilderness that is my brain before coffee.
I think that’s what happened to me…I tried to navigate the posts pre-coffee. What was I thinking?!
Chad Kroeger singing happy birthday?! Dear god, I can never unhear that mess. Love the idea of Le Clown being a balloon in a parade, and somehow I feel like it’s a real possibility. He’s got star power.
I know; I was tormented with the idea that I might be encouraging Mr. Kroeger and his fans at all by giving them youtube views, but in the end I decided it was more important to potentially ruin everyone’s day.
