Lemme guess...His father is deli-magnate Schlomo Flinchovski.

As a child, he was disowned by his father: His father wanted him to go to yeshivacatessen, but Flinchy wanted to become a clown & make people laugh.

While he did become a clown, the trauma of being disowned by his father sent him down a dark & dreary path.

Nailing those falafel pirates is an attempt to win his way back into his father's good graces.

I was already to make a smart quip but there's little to add after reading Terwiliger's comment. Spot on.

Bill

Hey! Quit giving falafel pirates a bad name! They do provide a valuable service to mankind. Free-wheeling, free thinking people who peacefully oppose the repression of the majority.

Flinchy has other issues besides his father. A domineering mother and mother-in-law have made his life a living hell. Weak in spirit and mind, he just joins the masses in targeting falafel pirates in the hope of garnering favor for his two-bit clown act.

HEY GANG

It's true Flinchy is estranged from his family and ethnic roots. But that doesn't make him rotten. In fact, it's part of his cover: LAUGH ON THE OUTSIDE, RAT OUT CARNY TRASH ON THE INSIDE. To suggest he is a mere cosmetically-challenged rogue with a Desert Eagle .44 and judgemental attitude, sells him short.

I dunno John, guy doesn't even have the guts to carry a DE .50.........and what's with the rumor that Flinchy and the, ahem, "Mayor" of Stankville been seen playin' footsie together? Size 16's is a lot of "footsie".

So let met get this straight. Flinchy, the dirty skanky carny clown, who plays footsie with the horny old homosexual mayor of Stankville carries a .50 caliber Desert Eagle. He was disowned from his father but was the product a couple of domineering bitchy old women, namely his mother and mother-in-law. He then proceeded to take on the fearful falafel pirates and kicked their ass. Have I summed this up correctly?

Well, you forgot to mention that his name is actually Fletch, who works for the Los Angeles Times writing under cover investigative columns exposing the dirty scum bags drifting through the city. He also has a child with his illegitimate half-sister who he supports by selling crack at the "Clowns Den", the local gathering wagon behind the carnival.

Just wanted to bring this all together!

With apologies to RA for my run on sentences and bad grammar.

HEY Cowboy

And as everyone knows, the "Clown's Den" was built after "The Twisted Balloon" burnt down.

"Oh, but to be able relax in my vigilance to avail myself to the finer things!" Flitchy looked around himself at the squalor of the pirate's tent. "Not a pickled herring in sight. And who drinks rootbeer with falafel?" He slowly crushed out his Turkish Gold on the forehead of the recently deceased pirate leader before turning on the heal of his size 16's and marching gaily out into the night...

Yeah, and if you Google "The Twisted Ballon" the term ARSON pops up very prominently in the news article. Now everyone knows the falafel pirates hung out at the TTB. So who held a grudge against them and their watering hole? Not making any accusations ya know, just asking questions. Everyone knows Flinchy carries 5 or 6 pocket lighters. Does a smoker need to carry more than one at a time?

John and GF....Stop it! I'm choking. LOL..BTF (Beat the Floor) and then choke. TTB .. That's funny!

Since it was hard to keep the tent inflated, it was affectionately called by some of the old timers as the TTC. (The Twisted Condom).

A Desert Eagle .50? Man, even a .44 is overkill. Methinks he might have to consider overpenetration when shooting up carnivals...THE CHIRRENS!!! He'd have to use hand loads, & as the Left will tell 'ya...only clowns load their own ammo. Besides--he might have feed problems with under-powered ammo & that big-a$$ed spring & slide.

The piece in the 'toon looks more like a 1911 to me. IMHO, He's better off using a 1911 & alternating between hollowpoints & FMJs...at least that way he could cut down on blow-throughs by 50%. If he wanted more juice, he could keep the .45 ACP round easy enough by switching to a Thompson with a drum magazine (if his flinching made the drum rattle too much, it would be easy enough to switch to boxes).


Well there's some bad things known to man
But ain't too much badder than
The lead of a clown...

As a wise man once said, "Not many problems you can't solve with either a $20 bill or a .45".

Flinchy the Clown...once tops in his class at Santa Anna Clown College (before the seltzer scandal of '02) turned rogue carny assassin.

I beg to differ Terwily. Looks like it could be a DE to me. A lot like a 1911 with bigger ports and slide. Still SA I think.

I'm with you though. I'll take my Kimber 1911 anytime but I ain't alternating bullets. Just Speer Gold Dots per moi. I also have a 10mm FBI issue S&W from the 1990s. That's an interesting caliber that Flinchy may want to explore.

NEWS FLASH!
On-the-Spot News is reporting that BIGAMY charges have been filed against one of the most popular clowns in Stankville. Flinchy the Clown stands accused of fathering several children by three different women, to all of whom he was married. One is a 15 year old run-away who joined the local Carney. Flinchy's friend ReadyFreddy claims that the child of the 15 year old is his. When confronted in the Big Top Bar and Grill, Flinchy replied with a terse "no comment". As viewers might remember, Flinchy was recently arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, only to find that it was nothing more than a seltzer shooting look-alike. Flinchy, a chain-smoking alcoholic has been in and out of trouble with the law for some time. Amazingly, the local mayor has come to his aid on more than one occasion, fostering the belief that Flinchy has "some dirt" on hizzoner that the mayor doesnt' want to see the light of day.

I think its been established that "hizzoner" was a dirty old homosexual that plays footsie with Flinchy. They're obviously covering for each other.

OK...I'm done with this thread (maybe), but it was fun..Perhaps John will revisit such a great character in the future!

HEY COWBOY

It's always surprising where these threads go when I create a new character. Chances are we'll see where Flinch ends up,

Do you mean "Flinchy meets Buck Manly"? He he he he

A wiser man once said "A pistol is what you use to fight your way to your rifle or your shotgun". ( :

It's been a long time since I've even seen a DE--it was in .454 Casull, & it must have been at least a foot long.

That piece may have the silhouette of a DE, but in order for it to be to scale, Flinchy's head would have to be bigger than a watermelon & that butt would have to be the size of the one that "Stoner" made after the dog ate his stash & he "reclaimed" it.

I'd say a 10mm is overkill too (in a carny setting, anyway). A friend of mine had a Glock 20--he was temporarily "disinvited" from a small range after destroying what was later determined to be an under-spec'ed backstop.

What's Yiddish for "Up in Smoke?"

HEY FELLAS

Big admission here....I MADE THE GUN UP. Deal with it.

O.K...so the GUN is a product of your imagination...but FLINCHY is real...right?

If he ISN'T real, then what? I guess you're gonna tell me that Barack Obama's popularity is primarily the result of so many bleeding hearts desperately wanting a “pigmentally-gifted” guy to be president--at any & all cost(s)--no matter how vacuous he is or how damaging his “vision” put into action will be. I just finished listening to Stewart, Colbert, & then Chris Rock on Larry King--& taking the whole of their blather into consideration, I've decided that IFF* Flinchy is the real deal, then so is Barry.

I don't care if it is the height of political incorrectness to say it. It's the truth...AND...the idiocy of those cretins (along with the baloney from everybody else over the past few days) has been enough to tip me from the "no confidence" column into the "against Barry" column.


*IFF is mathematical notation for "if & ONLY if".

That "Anonymous" was me. I didn't "double-tap"...apparently there was a server reconfig in process when I hit the "send" button (it was stuck in that mode for at least 20 minutes).

FLINCHY isn't real? Come on, next thing ya know, you'll be telling me that there isn't any Santa Claus! And that Barry Obama is the best thing since sliced bread.

HEY G & T

You guys MADE this thread. Thanks for all the fun creativity!
