The Walrus

I thought a lot of people would be interested, if you can get a piece accepted it's free exposure.

The Walrus

The same thing used to happen to me when I dressed up as Princess Margaret (from the waist up), hid in the bushes and leaped in front of passers by brandishing my diamond studded cheese grater and muttering inanities about the atrocities of Fishwives, but now I always wear a gimp mask and hide my moped a short distance away to ensure a swift getaway.
