I am in fact a professional,&#8221; BimBam protested. &#8220;I got my start with a video channel where I dissected fan theories about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lost<\/span> while I transformed myself from one kind of clown to another. But one day I had to ask myself that question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For several seconds there was no sound other than that of greasepaint being slathered on Big Dennis&#8217;s face. The hole where the horse&#8217;s tail used to be let in a welcome draft of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What question?&#8221; Titania asked wearily.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Is this <strong>really<\/strong> what I want to be famous for on the internet?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ll be famous for making a disgusting crater underneath this airship if you delay me further!&#8221; the Crystal Clown roared. &#8220;I thought you Svenborgians were sticklers for protocol, yet you still haven&#8217;t <em>returned my salute<\/em>!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bah. Protocol means nothing. Knock-knock jokes have protocol. I&#8217;m a rebel, striking terror in <em>a language that literally no one<\/em> can comprehend: the language of clowns! I sometimes wonder if you are truly a clown yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Leave the philosophy to the university clowns, BimBam. Perhaps the unconscious man you&#8217;re tending to feels his inner clown awakening now, as his true face comes into being. <em>Does he? Who knows<\/em>. And who cares! We need those bananas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From what I recalled about Big Dennis, I thought it more probable that his new getup would trigger his inner <em>aspiring avant garde DJ<\/em> to wake up.
