Sometimes parties need a little something extra, and sometimes that little something extra is a wasted clown.That's just what a few of the residents of the fine city of Chicago are planning. For a 30th birthday party, they are advertising on Craigslist that they "need an Adult Drunk Clown who is good at getting drunk and stupid. No need to do any clown tricks, just hang out and drink a sh*t load." The post goes on, but you get the point.
As people who have occasionally been described as "drunk clowns," we were awfully tempted to respond to this post. However, we think there is a good chance this post was written by a regular, run-of-the-mill clown-like blogger Cajun Boy, who posts fake Craigslist ads in order to make fun of the responses.
Questions Raised: Do you think this Craigslist post is legit?
Check out the gallery of our favorite drunks below.
Our Top Ten Favorite Drunks
10. Prime Minister, author, Nobel Prize winner, Sir Winston Churchill accomplished more on a typical hungover Sunday than most of us do during our entire lives. We can barely be bothered to go out for brunch most weekends.

9. Though no longer a raging alkie, Slash brilliantly hid his problem under a fright wig of hair and top hat. Of course, there was his memorable obscenity-laden acceptance speech at the 1990 American Music Awards that gave James Joyce's "FinnegansWake" a run for its brilliant indecipherability.(Photo From Getty Images)
8. Nick Nolte
Even before his infamous mugshot, Nolte perpetually looked like he'd just come off a six-week bender. His good-time swagger is the kind that makes you want to ride a Harley hammered (well, almost).

7. Dorothy Parker famously said that "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses." But they do go for gals who can fill glasses and then drink them under the Algonquin Roundtable, and Ms. Parker could down a vodka gimlet faster than you can say "the dry wit of Robert Benchley."

6. It's hard to listen to Janis Joplin sing without feeling your liver fill to the brim with Southern Comfort. (The phrase "booze-soaked vocals" was practically invented for her.) She makes blottoed sound worldly wise and makes Amy Winehouse seem like a rank amateur. (Photo from Getty Images)
5. Andy Capp
Everyone's favorite comic strip rummy has been tossing back pints and threatening his long-suffering wife Flo with violence since 1957. Seriously, isn't it time that Social Services took a long, hard look at that marriage?
4. Ernest Hemingway
The prototypical hard-drinking author, Papa Hemingway has given generations of mediocre writers an excuse to wail into their beers about their unpublished masterpieces. Still, as fine an author as he was, we figure his fondness for creepy, multi-toed cats must have had something to do with large quantities of alcohol. (Photo From AP)
3. Unlike today's repentant rehabbers, Dylan Thomas reveled in the image of the drunken poet. Although he wasn't an alcoholic, be rest assured he wasn't an alcoholic. As he once said: "An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do." Ah, the bard athis finest. (Photo from Getty Images)
2. If you're a fan of "Futurama," you know Bender's name doesn't just refer to his function as a robot who bends things: Liquor is his life's blood. Now if only he'd get toasted and punch out that wussy robot from "Lost In Space."
1. Keith Richards
is arguably the most-inspiring drunk of our time. He's such a notorious and charismatic drunk, Johnny Depp based Jack Sparrow on him and then coerced Richards to play his drunken, pirate father in the third "Pirates" film. Yet that character pales in comparison to Richards, who got so hammered he took a tumble out of a coconut tree, and lived to rock on! (Getty Images)

Craigslist is stupid. Full of skanks and home wreckers posting whorish personals. It is the stomping ground for prostitution and STDs

Top 10 drunks and no entry for W.C. Fields??!? The man built a hugely successful career as a comedian entirely based on being drunk. How can you not love a man who coined the phrases: "Water? Never touch the stuff, it rusts pipes you know!" and "Water's a filthy liquid; I'd never drink it. Fish f*ck in it!"

I was at this party on Friday night. It started off at Smoke Daddy's BBQ on Division. The birthday boy had no idea, it was a great suprise. "Tipsy" the clown was a hit. His buddy and college roommate helped put it all together, but def legit.

Yes, the clown ad was legit. We did find our clown for the birthday party last Friday on craiglist "Tipsy the Clown". He showed up to the restaurant in Bucktown completely smashed and stumbling everywhere. At first, the restaurant manager wouldn't let the clown in, but then I lied and said he was just acting. He hung with us all night as we hopped around to several bars. I can't recall how many shots and drinks the clown had, but it was a lot. Later in the night, he read off a toast for the birthday boy, that he wrote himself which ended with the words "HAPPY BIRTHDY YOU C#NT"
I will happily recommend this clown to anyone looking to shock their friends with birthday party entertaiment. WARNING: Tipsy the Clown is not suitable for little kids.
Is there a way I can post the pictures from the party?
