Englishmen abroad
It's good to see full blooded Englishmen upholding decency and reserve abroad....
HAH! There's a wooden sculpture in Houston, TX in Hermann Park known casually as the Trojan Pig. (I don't know its rightful name.) It's big, blockish, mostly made of 2"x4" lumber, but if I were young again, I might consider organizing a similar stunt there, in the dead of night, of course.

Hmm I hope their balls froze to the statue!

ReplyDeleteHere it is. It's known as the Portable Trojan Bear. I don't know if it's still there or not; I don't drive that way these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat wouldn't a person do with a sufficient amount of alcohol in his veins? And who knows, it could have been some local yokel egging them on...
ReplyDeleteHaha Steve, make sue you are filmed if you do... or perhaps not!
ReplyDeleteI know I've done some stupid crap under the influence Snoopy. and with little egging too!
