Before I found this site it was always the "Demon" for me. Guess I was on the right track, eh?

I've always called it "The Evil Clown" - think sharp teeth and a proclivity for brain tissue... But then, I have issues with clowns, so it was a natural metaphor.

while i can relate with "beast", calling it "dancing" does not do it justice for me. More like "sparring with a pissed-off Mike Tyson".

It is called "Coulrophobia".
It comes from the Greek kolon, a limb. Yes, strange. But if you look at the related kolobathristes, a stilt-walker, it makes more sense. This is as near to a suitable classical allusion that can be reached using acient Greek, since the ancient Greeks didn't have a word for a clown in our modern sense.

Thanks Hirvimaki, I didn't realize there was a name for it.
I've just always called it "clownsscaretheshitouttame!"

Dancing Demon
From my tomb he raised my head
To view the living and the dead
On life’s horizon there did dance
A proud, animated prance
A demon beautiful to see
Dancing out our destiny
Veiled from the mortal mind and eye
A living diamond in the sky
Shined down on the magic show
And lent to it a sacred glow
And the angels gathered there
All as one begin to stare
And as the little demon danced
Every soul became entranced
Mixed a slow and steady beat
With magic, flashing, spinning feet
Shining, crackling like a blaze
She danced destiny in days
Changing forms strike you blind
A different view for every mind
At first a pretty dancing girl
Then a dervish in a whirl
Savior hanging on a stake
Prostitute or pretty snake
And as the angels fell in trance
They joined the demon in the dance
Forgot the scared Light above
Forgot, in time, the law of love
Forgot the sacred land sublime
Burned by self and lost in time
No force on earth could break the gaze
Of the angels in the blaze
Moved by pity from on high
God sent down his son to die
And when the beauty of his face
Joined the demon in his place
The sacred beauty from above
Woke the angels to his love
Then the angels turned their eye
To the diamond in the sky
And the demons spell was broke
Disappeared as angels woke
And even though she dances still
She has lost the power to kill
Now every heart and every eye
Can see the diamond in the sky

Jminmilwaukee,
I loved the poem! Very appropoe!
I think the demon is about to start in my right temple right now, and I think she is using Charlie Daniels fiddle for the music.

Hi! 
I think "beast" does cover ch very well... 
I call mine "The Devil", because that's what I think it really is.
Hmm... It would be so easy if saying a prayer would be the end of the pain...! 
Best wishes & PFdays,

In light of your question, Taraann, I took a walk down memory lane this morning (visited the archives)....
The word "beast" first appeared in a post title in April of 1999, by Holly. Jack Boyd was the first to answer her and MartyS was the first to acknowledge that he also called it "the beast".
Here's the link to that thread...
http://www.clusterheadaches.com/wwwboard/messages/5704.html
All y'all (that's me, impersonating an American ) really SHOULD visit the archives sometime - it's a real kick seeing some of the first ever surveys, comparisons, etc. You'll find classic posts there from BobP, Jackie Boyd, Hubster, lowercase Bob (who coined the term "OUCH" and wrote Symphony for the Devil), Doc Jerry who brought us the water treatment - major history makers in our archives. Just dawned on me that it's been almost 5 years to the day that I found this place too! Holy wow!

I'm scared to death of clowns too! But not as much as ventriloquist dummy's... those things absolutely terrify me!
I used to always call my CH "my one-sided headaches"
I'm just sooooo creative huh?
