Geocache Description:

Melvin Van Horne (aka Sideshow Mel), is Krusty's current sidekick on The Krusty the Clown Show. When not in character, Mel speaks in a grandiose British/Shakespearean accent and owns poodles. Mel joined the cast of the Krusty the Clown Show to replace Sideshow Bob, who was sent to prison for attempting to frame Krusty for armed robbery. Sideshow Mel uses a slide whistle to communicate on camera.


Off-screen, Mel is generally very eloquent, educated, poetic and intelligent, with a beautiful singing voice-it is implied that, as with Sideshow Bob before him, his true talents are wasted on Krusty's show. He attended Cornell College. When Lisa Simpson won the "Entertainer of the Year Award,"it was revealed that Melvin also won the award previously for his portrayal of Biff in Death of a Salesman, but his desire to keep his stardom eventually led him to become the sidekick he is today. He was once forced to conduct an orchestra of kazoo-playing monkeys. When he pleaded with Krusty to not force him to do it, Krusty simply shouted at him to "shut up and conduct!"
