(77) Peedalka, the three legged centipede, winds her way down to her waiting car Mr Whuffles sporting a 'I'm with Earthworm Jim' t-shirt on the top part of her body. She can't fit her whole body in the car so wraps herself around the outside.

(42) Jeff & Greg are a curious duo in that Greg is a brawny Penguin and Jeff a brainy rock. Greg ties Jeff to Snookums roof, who grunts under the weight, and climbs inside the car ready for his adventure.

Peedalka, using just her head and one of her legs (the other two are outside the car) skilfully drives around the tent, high-fiving contestants and spectators alike. She spots large spiders and beetles falling from above and positions herself to intercept them.
She expertly juggles the critters making sure to keep the spiders and beetles just far enough away from each other so that one doesn't become dinner for the other.
She even manages to blow up some balloons for the kids in the audience at the same time. She is relieved when she finishes as her skin crawls from handling the hairy spiders.

Greg is struggling with the tight confines of the car and his driving is quite erratic, making those in the front row very nervous.
A multitude of toilet rolls fall from above and Greg shouts to Jeff to be ready to do some juggling. Jeff is motionless, smiling. Several of the toilet rolls bounce past and Greg shouts "Jeff! What are you doing? Ok, lets swap and I'll do the juggling."
Greg climbs onto the roof and with a grunt throws Jeff into the car where he slams onto the accelerator.
Snookums screams and goes tearing out of the tent at full speed, his terrified cries fading into the distance.

Look how they stressed my boy!

(6) 00110000 stands and robotically walks towards his parked car. He turns to the crowd and says "Greetings organic beings and fellow autonomous contraptions. Here is a joke for your entertainment."
The human makes strange whirring noises before continuing "You don’t need a parachute to go skydiving. You need a parachute to go skydiving twice."
"Thank you, you may go back to consuming your beverages and salty snacks now."
00110000 climbs into Mr Whuffles in an awkward, robotic fashion much to the cars annoyance.

(54) The Rider Who Wears a Mask tears around the tent on a dirtbike, pulling lollies from out of his sleeves and throwing them to children in the crowd. He skids to a stop by Snookums, kicking up a cloud of dust. Snookums coughs and squirts him in the face with some oil in return.
The Rider clambers into the car, wiping oil onto his sleeves and grumbling about temperamental cars.

00110000 studies the inside of the car, makes some whirring, clicking noises then says "Merging point for a fellow mechanoid is missing. I will create one myself."
As Mr Whuffles honks in protest, 00110000 proceeds to dismantle his interior pulling out wires and sticking his very human fingers in places they shouldn't go.
"This looks like a good merging point" he jams his fingers into a slot that has the message 'do not jam fingers here' written above it. A huge explosion follows and 00110000 is sent flying into the sky, still strapped into his seat, as parts of Mr Whuffles scatter around the tent.

Although The Rider Who Wears a Mask prefers dirtbikes to cars, he soon has Snookums purring around the tent, regularly tilting to drive on just two wheels.
He sees two obese babies with parachutes dropping up ahead and manoeuvres to intercept them. To his surprise, as he starts to juggle the burping, puking babies, they are joined by a man in a car seat.
He sweats as he adjusts his juggling to accomodate the new arrival. 00110000 finds himself being thrown up and down in the air as one chubby baby chews on his foot with a "Goo!" and the other sucks his thumb with a "Gah!".
His mind is all a whirl as he repeats over and over "This does not compute!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------

(48) La Lierre Incontournable, the most stylishly dressed clown ever to live, saunters towards her car Snookums. A huge oaf, half gorilla half man, blocks her path, leering. La Lierre smiles contemptuously and says in a sexy French accent "tu as le cerveau d'un hamster!". The oaf crumbles to the ground, dribbling his mind having been blasted in a very gaelic manner.
She steps onhim and carries on her way.

(36) Rotten Robert uses his foul odour to distract those around him as he mingles through the audience, stealing wallets and watches as he goes. Now free of the crowd, he turns and shares one of his favourite jokes with them.
"What do you call Clark Kent with diarrhoea?" he giggles to himself "Poop-erman!"
Rotten Robert rolls about laughing when karma comes-a-knocking. Superman flies in and hovers above the miscreant before dropping his tights and delivering some superpoop all over him.
Robert walks towards Mr Whuffles, smellier than ever. The car looks at him through narrowed eyes before squirting him full blast with water, washing away most of the nastiness.

La Lierre sticks a beret on Snookums roof and squeezes inside. She hums the song Joe le taxi to herself when she spots three snobbish Englishmen falling from the sky. She clambers onto the car roof and prepares to blast them mentally with French to enable her to juggle them easier.
As the first approaches she says "les baguettes sont supérieures aux crumpets!". "Oh, I say!" Responds the placid and befuddled gent making it easy to juggle him.
The second comes close and she says "les caniches sont beaucoup plus mignons que les bouledogues anglais!".
"Well I never!" he replies, again making it easy to juggle him.
She prepares for the third Englishman but he is first to speak "I say old girl, your beret is not quite straight." He hands a mirror to La Lierre who is promptly mesmerised by her own beauty.
She stops juggling letting the three gents hit the ground with a thump and spends the rest of her time admiring herself in the mirror.

A soggy Rotten Robert is driving along when he spots two wise-cracking toilets falling from the sky. His mood brightens dramatically as he joins them and starts juggling them.
As they go up and down, all three share jokes with each other.
Robert "Why couldn't the toilet paper cross the road?" "It got stuck in a crack!"
All three laugh.
Toilet one "What do you call a fairy using the toilet?" "Stinker bell!"
Robert has tears running down his cheeks.
Toilet two "Why doesn't Chuck Norris have to flush the toilet?" "He scares the $%@& out of it!"
Robert has a great time and is sad when it is time to let his new toilet friends leave.

The crowd cheers as (13) Bubbles blows a giant bubble and steps inside it. He walks through the crowd chewing his everlasting piece of bubblegum and making bubble animals from it.

A slightly singed goth vampire holding a white cat, (52) KittyWise and Sparky, make their way towards Snookums. KittyWise meows authoritatively and Sparky places him on the roof before clambering into the car.

Bubbles envelopes Mr Whuffles in a giant bubble and together they float around the tent as much as drive. Three anvils plummet from above at great speed, Bubbles chews frantically on his gum and sends large bubbles out to surround the anvils, thus rendering them light as air.
Finding this juggling lark to be a bit easy, he creates the biggest bubble anyone has ever seen. This bubble proceeds to envelope the circus tent and the cheerful clown has Snuggles, with everyone inside, bouncing up and down as well as the three anvils.

KittyWise meows in annoyance at his surroundings bouncing up and down. He orders Sparky to drive over to where three black cats can be seen falling from the sky.
Sparky arrives in time and uses his vampiric powers to levitate and juggle the felines as KittyWise talks to them.
KittyWise "Meow, meow, mewmewmew, MEOW!"
The white cat shares his plan to conquer the world with an army of clowns.
Black cat one "Mew mew meow?"
Got any fish mate?
Black cat two "Hiss, meow, meow, meweow."
My coat is just fabulous darling.
Black cat three "Woof, woof, rawwr, woof!"
I banged my head and feel a bit odd.

KittyWise hisses in frustration and sends them on their way. He looks over at Bubbles controlling the whole tent and everyone inside and smiles to himself. He laughs evilly as his plans start to take formation in his head.

Tenty slithers about the spectators' seats, handing (tentacling?) out the pie pieces.
Unfortunetely, they trip over someone's unnoticed appendage (perhaps it was invisible?), lose their balance, and send the pies flying into people's unsuspecting faces. Oops?

00110000 re-re-re -- re-examines error in logic. *whir* *click*

Having thoroughly-parsed /var/log/interface.log, 00110000 determines: "The desired outcome was not attained, as the merging-point is located in the posterior!"

Upon overhearing this, the re-assembled Mr. Whuffles urgently requests that his storage trunk and fuel cap be welded tightly-shut.

Do I grade myself or is that someone else's job? I'm a bit lost.

Doc will ask two other people via PM to grade your performance.

I'd also suggest a valve for the exhaust pipe, to ensure it's for output only :))

Thank you, Doc! You captured KittyWise and Sparky exactly as I imagined them. I love the three black cats.


Okay, I'm going back to lurking about for now.

My ratings for Goo'n and Johnny The Conflict Avoider :

Goo'n : 3 (to tickle and pinch people/ creatures nowadays is the best way to be arrested for sexual assault... and creating a mass brawl is not exactly the purpose of a clown, except if you are The Joker ! But the score takes into consideration the fact he saved his contender instead of letting him being crushed by hooligans).
Johnny The Conflict Avoider : 2 (being agree with everybody isn't possible, even for a clown).

My scores for Bartosh the Clown Bear and Ms. Kessel Rhunon:

[1 - Drive a comically small vehicle while balancing multiple objects]

Bartosh the Clown Bear: 5 (he needs to learn that beauty comes from within)

Ms. Kessel Rhun: 5 (she needs to learn proper ship mechanics)

Assuming 5 is the best, I'd rate 00110000 a solid 4, considering his very proactive behaviour in his situation, also him ending up in the other car :D. The 1 point is lost because this proactive behaviour doesn't help him at all.
The Rider Who Wears a Mask gets a 3 for being generally cool, but unfortunately just coasting along.

Well played Doc, people are judging Your performance as Clowns, not a real Clowns performance. Therefore scores are for You! : ) That means happy thoughts all the time! Circus as it best.

I was asked to score Bartosh the Clown Bear and Ms. Kessel Rhun.
Well, they're going to hate me here, but the trial was to drive a comically small vehicle while balancing multiple objects and neither of them got to the objects part.
Bartosh at least drove, but then he attacked the audience, which would tend to negate any entertainment value until then. But probably only for those he meant to attack and possibly those in their immediate vicinity, some of the others possibly being entertained by the turn of events. So let's call it a grudging 2.
Ms. Kessel Rhun, on the other hand, didn't even drive, caused destruction, if not worse, since Mr. Whuffles isn't exactly just an inanimate object, that destruction also led to Bartosh's attempted attack on the audience, and then the rest of her performance was just a ploy aimed to distract from all of it. A clear 1 if I ever saw one.
