CUCKOO THE CLOWN STRIKES AGAIN ...!

                               

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet "Cuckoo the Clown," a Creepy Carnival Refugee who spends his days working the crowd near the Plaka district in Athens.  Much like some of the characters who hang around at 7th and Montana, Cuckoo specializes in making Funny Noises and Chatting with Strangers.  "Where are you from?," Cuckoo asked my colleague, Judy, who eventually told him that she works in Hong Kong and I work in Hollywood.  At the mention of the word "Hollywood," Cuckoo's eyes, nose and Big Red Shoes practically lit up with glee.  I beat a hasty retreat, only to be accosted by him 20-minutes later as he ran after me with a business card.  "Mr. Hollywood," he said, placing his card firmly in my hand, "You never know when this might come in handy."  Seriously, if he thinks I can land him a job on the Silver Screen, he's even more of a Clown than I realized ...!
