Earl Sees the World!

[Jack Black]

Jack, reading this installment and looking at this photo had me roaring with laughter!!! Much to the concern of my loving wife Thank you for a most enjoyable read and looksee into EARLS visit with you, it has been a rather fun stop following his epic journey :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks Duane, and I hope your wife wasn't disturbed too much my friend :thumbup: You really have to wonder about a feller who parades about looking like that (he's wearing knee breeches, buckled shoes, and union flag stockings too ) when he ISN'T even the Town Crier! The two of you should look him up online, there's a whole load of stories!

As you may have gathered from Earl's adventures here, Yorkshire can be kind of strange. Still, it's not every day that I see a man striding up the high street with a 3 foot stuffed hare dressed as Robin Hood under his arm!

I'm surprised he wasn't being pursued by a couple of hungry Lurcher's , it can't be the same Yorkshire that I remember

Leeds has ideas above its station these days Ken, Robin Rabbit would be more likely to get chased down the street by two art students rather than by two lurchers!

Thats something i have never seen before! A grown man carrying a stuffed hare, dressed as Robin Hood!!
Earl really has seen the heady highlights of Yorkshire! Thank you for sharing them with us Jack, its been a excellent leg of his journey!

All the best
Paul

Well Done Jack.
I'd be sorely tempted to say "Ay! nice stuffed hare mate." but check out the arms on that gorilla.

EARL will make a useful trouting lure in the icy waters of PMEWS loch.

Thanks mate :thumbup: He was just striding up the high street like it was the most normal thing in the world!

it seems that it was thought Earl might be lending his celebrity status to ‘Town Crier Tours’, a business which might not be entirely legitimate since it is based on a falsehood.

Thanks Duane, and I hope your wife wasn't disturbed too much my friend :thumbup: You really have to wonder about a feller who parades about looking like that (he's wearing knee breeches, buckled shoes, and union flag stockings too ) when he ISN'T even the Town Crier!

While deleting some photos from the memory card of my camera, I came across this unedited pic documenting the scene which may have led to Earl being wanted for questioning

Very wierd, I don't know if anyone else ever experiences gremlins in the system whereby they're unable to make a particular post, I've been trying to make the post above for an hour, and eventually inserted it in sections. It turned out, bizarrely, that it wasn't the image that was the problem, as I had thought, but a sentence apologising to Duane's wife in case she is startled by him laughing out loud at the attire above! :coinfused: Apologies once again Mrs S

I think EARL experienced more than any tourist ever has in visiting your neck of the woods Jack! Glad he's willing to continue on his travels. I would have needed a vacation from that vacation...

Now onto the man with the hare....from the look of the size of his arms, I'm going to say he's a betting man. He's betting not one person would dare make fun of him for carrying the hare, and if they do, he's betting he could tear them to pieces...I don't like those odds!

I certainly felt like I needed a vacation after dealing with the idiot in the post office when I sent Earl off to his next adventure, well a pint at least

By chance, I discovered the story behind the hare. It turned out that it was a display item in the window of a sort of poncey hairdressing salon. They are moving to a new location, so the safest way to move the stuffed hare was on foot. Hard to believe that guy is a hairdresser, but what do I know, maybe he wrestles at the weekends?!

He can cut my hair.

Oh, I just got it! Hairdresser = Dressed Hare

OK. I'm gonna have some more coffee, and go to work.

You're sharper than me r8shell! I've been hoping to find a pic of the hare on the Internet, but since that has failed I am going to have to track down their new premises!

Many thanks for all your concerns, good wishes, and kind words folks, I have to say that it’s been a hairy few days here for me and Earl, but I am very pleased to be able to report that he is no longer a fugitive. It turns out that he was suspected of Aiding and Abetting a Fake Town Crier, which is apparently quite a serious offence in parts of Yorkshire.
...
So all ended well, and as I write this now, Earl is having a lie in, and resting up for the next leg of his adventures, as come Monday morning, I will be sending him off to the custody of Our Man in Scotland, PMEW.

Of course, I'm elated that EARL's having to go "on the lam" was all a misunderstanding. But, considering his past, I wonder how he feels about his next host's occupation? Does EARL even know where he's headed next, Jack? And didn't pmew mention recently that he was involved in a case of alien abduction? I sure hope we won't have to change the name of this thread to "EARL Sees the Galaxy"!

The fact that, despite EARL's somewhat questionable behavior wherever he goes, members are still willing to take him in is just another indication to me of the kind, generous (and perhaps unwise?) character of folks on The Porch!

Good one, Rachel!! Without your quick wit, my addled brain would never have made the connection! :thumbup:

I think I might have neglected to mention it to him GT

 

[meako]

Its OK I'm pretty sure I'd out run him. I don't have all that excess brawn to carry -and he would not have dropped the hare to chase after me.

"Full disclosure" is overrated, anyway.

Jack I would've gone right up to the big BRUTE carrying the Robin Hood Hare, poked him in the chest and said Duncan and Jack have something they'd like to say about you carrying that ridiculous Robin Hood Hare, then quickly pointing to you and Duncan as I made my quick exit

Loki himself could not have dreamed up a better prank.I love it.For some reason this popped into my head [video]https://youtu.be/1IV_B6o4Xlg[/video]

 

[Jack Black]

LOL! I think the stuffed hare makes him look bigger than he is anyway!

They say that the camera adds 10ibs, but when I see photos of myself, I always think it's added a lot more! :thumbup:

 

[meako]

Funny you say that Jack. Most cameras seem to add about 40years to me as well several chronic aging diseases and a hungover look. I feel just fine though.
