Mr Brown's first appearance



Right, so I can't really take credit for this idea...
What happened was at the Bathurst show recently I got a showbag that had a fake poo in it. Contrary to popular belief, I didnt get the bag BECAUSE it had the fake poo in it, that was just a nice bonus.

So I took this fake poo to Dubbo zoo recently, in order to stage some potentially amusing photos, and Lisa (my wonderful sister in law) suggested that I take the fake poo with my while travelling, to be in more photos. Nice idea, i thought. But I'd like to take it one step further and make it somewhat interactive. So what I've done is stick eyes to the poo (to give it a bit of character) and christened him Mr Brown (more original than Mr Hanky and more subtle than Mr Stinky. Interestingly there were no suggestions of 'mrs' anything. huh. )

My plan for Mr Brown is to put him in the background of as many photos of myself in recognisable places as possible. The first person to spot him, and let me know where he is, wins a prize per photo. For example, a photo of me with the eiffel tower in the background, whoever spots Mr Brown, wins something frenchish. Like a mini eiffel tower. Not like a baguette, or a maid in a skimpy uniform carrying a feather duster. Too hard to post.

I've had a mixed response from people I've already told about the idea. Some people think its funny. Some people think its immature. I think its both and it gives a fair representation of my sense of humour.

Now I've attached pictures of Mr Brown in close up, so you know what you're looking for. I've also put in a pic of me with Mr Brown in the background. I dont really know what prize there could be though. I know, I'll organise for someone to come round to your house and clean your face with spit. Tops.

Let me know if he's easy enough to spot...

Just testing this whole "blogging" thing works. I plan on leaving haphazzard masses of inane banter at a later date.

Shazam!

I sees him! I'm glad you navigated the interweb with such success as to set up this blog :) Mr Brown is a great idea, as you say it neatly combines the low and high brow aspects of your humour. Nice!

Love your blog so far Rach! Yes, Mr Brown is easy enough to spot. Looking forward to your updates! I miss you already because I probably won't see you again before you leave. :( Have a great adventure :)

Hey Rach! Saw Mr Brown but was obviously beaten. And it is a great idea - gives variety to your blog! :)

Look forward to hearing from you and your adventures in England. See ya!
