Jack Shops At ASDA

,

A few weeks ago on a visit to Grum, Mik, Grum and I went to Asda to do some grocery shopping and look around.

As we approached the homeware aisle, our eyes were drawn to a tall guy looking at plates. Mik and I looked at the guy, then at each other, muffling the sudden giggles that bubbled up from looking at the stranger.

He was wearing long black trousers with a really long belt hanging down, a white shirt, bandana, and his hair was long and dark. I looked at Mik, and mouthed, "no...?" as the man turned around briefly to reveal his face - made up with eyeliner. His beard was put into two braids, even.

I had to turn away quickly, my body shaking with laughter. This guy was out shopping for crockery at 10 in the morning... Like any ordinary guy. Bored and performing a necessary task... Dressed like Jack Sparrow.



I had to run away. It was too funny.

We walked around the store together, theorizing as to why some lone shopper would be dressed like Jack Sparrow as if it was the most natural thing in the world, shopping as we went.

We reached the checkout and Mik spotted the guy looking at all the DVDs for sale. The guy stood in front of a display for a while, picked a few things up, put them back, and left.

Curious, we walked over to the display and saw that the guy had collected every Pirates Of The Caribbean DVD in the store and put them in front of everything else on the display :lol: .

...serious WTF moment. We can't figure him out! So, any theories about this Hack Sparrow? *groans at own lame joke* :rolleyes:

Friend Removals (again)Surveys Seem To Be a Fad.

I would have died laughing if I had seen a man dressed like that in the store! :D
How great that life gives moment like that! Seriously cool! :lol:

Hehehe. That bit with the DVD's was especially funny. P:

:lol:
It was similar to this one :D

:lol:
May-be he gets royalties from the sale?

I reckon he was a lookalike trying to drum up business. When he was putting those DVDs up to the top shelf and I'm just watching him from the queue thinking "Nah, he can't be..." :lol: Hilarious!

I was initially thinking along the lines of a Pirates Of The Caribbean-themed shop and he was trying to deplete his rivals' stock.

Was there anyone else that stayed close to him? If so, I'm thinking it was a stunt for a TV show of some kind, and his entourage would be the ones with the camera, microphone and whatnot.

If it's not either of those, I think I'll assume he is a JackSparrowagram that is trying to find a few one-liners from the films that he can copy, before getting to the stripping part of his line of work. :left:

Shiver me timbers that matey cracked his noggin! :raider:

Spaggyj 1. May 2009, 09:59

It was sure something I didn't expect, and I'll never forget it! :lol: .

Dark, that's really creepy :lol: . The guy was definitely alone. There was nobody with him... I doubt he's anything to do with the franchise legally... Suppose it could be for lookalike business or something of that ilk yeah.. Or.. Maybe he was just crazy like Sam says :left: who knows?

Maybe he was looking for his crew once again :wink:

Spaggyj 1. May 2009, 14:46

:lol:

If someone did that in this town he'd be laughed right out of town. :lol:.
Sounds almost like something Leon Schuster would do. :whistle:.

Could have been worse ... could have been a bloke dressed as He-Man putting all the Masters of the Universe DVDs in front of everything ... :eyes:

qlue 3. May 2009, 12:59

:yuck:

Remember kids, just say no to scary blonde paedos!

Well ... he has the power ... :rolleyes: :lol:

Furie 4. May 2009, 10:40

He screams that out as he orgasms. :left:

Freddy Mercury? :angel:

clean 5. May 2009, 08:11

Hmm ... I wonder why his large green tiger was called 'Cringer' ...

Furie 5. May 2009, 08:33

Cringer - bottom.
Battlecat - top.
He's a versatile creature for Adam/He Man to "ride".

clean 6. May 2009, 01:43

:lol:

And Man-at-Arms is, of course, the meat in the sandwich ...

:left: Where does She-Rah come in? :confused:

theoddbod 6. May 2009, 07:15

I believe she's got a special scene with Skeletor :left:

rose-marie 6. May 2009, 07:58

:lol: I'm impressed you didn't burst out in laughter. I'm pretty sure I would.
Have you seen the guy earlier/again?

Spaggyj 6. May 2009, 08:34

No Rosie - we just saw him that day :lol: . I only contained the laughter by turning away and covering my mouth with both of my hands, though :D

Anna-Spanna 6. May 2009, 08:57

Oiii thats not fair, I wanted to see the Jack Sparrow look alike :frown: I would have probably past out :lol: :D

Spaggyj 6. May 2009, 09:04

Hey bratfink :heart: . Man, it was so funny. Wish you could've seen it. You woulda pissed yourself :lol:

rose-marie 6. May 2009, 09:09

:lol: That's so weird!

Furie 6. May 2009, 09:42

Bratfink's my word. :mad: Although it does suit her. :lol:.
