I has flavour...

Tom Dunne · 20-12-2008 7:21pm #1

We have all been there at some stage.

We have been consumed by the euphoria of an idea that really seemed like a good idea at the time, only to slowly realise that we suddenly find ourselves in a situation, of our own doing that, in hindsight, is not the brightest of ideas.

I don't have a lot of experience with changing my skin colour. On the whole, I am quite happy being milky white, overweight and hairy. At this present moment in time, I would really, really like to be milky white again.

Having said that, if ripping what little dignity I have left to shreds makes a child's Christmas that tiny bit better, well then it's worth it.

So without further ado, I hereby present me, as a minstrel. A very unwell minstrel.

Viewers of a nervous disposition and young children should be aware that some of the following pictures contain images of a graphic nature. Oh, and nudity. :cool:

Kudos, brother.

Tom Dunne · 20-12-2008 7:51pm

This stuff wasn't supposed to be so friggin' dark. And no sign of it lightening up at all. :eek:

Although, it smells nice.

Don't know about you Brother trout, but I reckon that was money very well spent so we didn't end up looking like that.

Just as well I had my big brain in that night ... spotted the setup a mile off, like a leopard spots a lame herd animal ... or something.

*shakes head*

Thankfully, we have not seen anything of the paper undies or 'candid' shots ... so far

LostinBlanch · 20-12-2008 8:04pm

Jaysus Tom, give you a hat, cane and stripey jacket and you could be one of the lions tea minstrels!

Fair play though.

I do a lot of work for charity myself, but don't like to talk about it.:D

Fair play Tom. You're officially a legend.

Wibbs · 20-12-2008 8:36pm

Did we briefly have a fling in 1992?

Class man. Class.

smashey · 20-12-2008 9:37pm

I wouldn't worry about the tan if I was you, I'd be more embarrased by wearing that geansai. :eek:

trout · 20-12-2008 9:41pm

I thought the geansai was the icing on the cake ... I mean ... it's a joke ... amirite ?

Ye gods and little fishes ... he's hardly wearing that jumper without a sense of ironing is he ? :eek:

Toto Wolfcastle · 21-12-2008 4:08pm

Oh dear God.

I am so very sorry that I asked you to do this Tom.

It really is very dark.

However I think others will join me in saying:

BAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

You reckon? Don't get me started on the itching.

I really didn't think it would be that dark. Oh, and it sparkles. There's some glittery sh1te in it too.

Ah jaysus! No wonder it turned out so dark!

That stuff is pretty easy to get off though. Soup and water usually does the trick.

No, the deal was a week.

Though I am told I am sleeping on newspapers for the duration of that week.

GAAman · 21-12-2008 4:25pm

Brother Tom, lots of respect for that. When i read the original thread even before you agreed to it i thought it wouldnt get off the ground. Fair balls man

And how often do you have to leave the house in the next week?

Ok, I cheated a bit. I didn't do my back. The damn stuff wouldn't take (it's a tad over grown back there, I am told).

janeybabe wrote: »

Oh you know, work Monday, Tuesday, shopping Wednesday, Christmas/St. Stephen's day festivities, visiting sick relatives in hospital, going down the country to visit friends/family.

So not too much.

Just be sure to warn the sick relatives beforehand so that they don't get a nasty shock!

Yeah, I can see Granny offering me her bed saying I look like I need it more than she does.

Toto Wolfcastle · 21-12-2008 4:38pm

Hopefully she'll get a good laugh out of the whole situation!

This has cured my hangover!

themadchef · 21-12-2008 7:12pm

There are very few men who would have taken that challenge on.

Well done Tom!

If you think it looks bad now, wait till it starts going all durrty looking as it wears off
