Everyone, before Stephen king wrote IT: What we need is fewer clowns Stephen king (holding up old timey ear trumpet): Eh? What's that you say? sewer clowns?

Burger King employee: do you want any fries? Stephen King: penny wise? Why would I want— hang on. Holy shit

*louder* "We're tired of seeing so many clowns!" SK: "You're trying off sea asthmatic clowns? That's not scary. What does that mean? You're confusing my dog, Cool Joe."

I mean we already had sewer turtles, rats, and alligators. It was only a natural progression.
