On the subject of a homemade clown doll:

Amanda Rae: ...By the way, this is the scariest fucking picture, ever. You're so fantastically twisted.
JD: Ha, thanks. It was one of a series of generic baby dolls that ended up in the lost and found at my old job that all seemed to be screaming for major makeovers.
Amanda Rae: dude, where did you work?!
JD: A library, of all places. Kids would always leave the darnedest stuff, and we started having a lot of these dirty, ugly looking dolls left behind and never picked up. Then I'd "modify" them and leave them around random places in the stacks, and soon they'd go back out into the world to new families.
JD: I kinda feel bad for the parents of whomever took them home.
Amanda Rae: Now THAT is scary.
