July 2, 2009: Great Britain
Great Britain = stiff upper lip, stand in a queue, tea & crumpets, pip pip and all that.
Very staid and proper people, you know.
Bullshit, here are secret spy photos of normal daily life in Britain.
Well actually they're pictures from The Museum of British Folklore.
The museum is attempting to catalog and display examples of Britain's long, rich tradition of (crazy) folklore.
They've even captured some of Elspode's kindred spirits.
I guess Merry Olde England is right.

One of many reasons why The Wicker Man worked in it's original setting, but not when transplanted to America.
Is that the Doctor (far right) in the first picture?

I don't know if she's a doctor or not, in the first picture?
I think the guy with the dress, blackface and hat, is decorated with flowers and hops, which would explain the rest.

I've never heard of the Brits doing anything silly or outrageous.

Where did you get that photo of Margaret Thatcher? She looks so young!
Elspode Thursday Jul 2 06:33 PM
I'm guessing a lot of those people are Pagan.

No, we're a very boring lot.

That guy in the second picture looks like he just learned he was losing his job at Chotchke's because he doesn't wear the required number of pieces of flair.

Is it me, or is that straw man (who is clearly putting forth a straw man argument to the gent in the bowler) sporting a big, grassy set of swinging balls?

That takes me back.
When I were a young'un,we were so poor,we had to sell our straw man.
