CollyLogic: Malarkey at the Adult Shop

Malarkey at the Adult Shop

6th December 2006

Just to prove that I certainly don’t tell porky pies, here is photographic proof of Andy Clarke transcending the traditional shopping experience…

Covering his face out of shame. OK, I grant you that it isn’t exactly a clear shot of his face, but it is him, you can tell from the unique foppish stride. Just compare with the apparel and hair he’s sporting in this picture taken later in the day:

I rest my case, yer honour.

Hmm, this photo seems to show Malarkey merely walking past the entrance of an adult shop, rather than coming out of it…

People sometimes have to walk past the entrance of adult shops in the course of city life. ;)

Case not proven, methinks!

Martin: M’lud! The direction of the ‘cocked’ left leg clearly (kind of, anyway) suggests he is turning through 90 degrees, leaving said adult shop.

Also, in walking past the entrance of adult shops “in the course of city life”, do we all attempt to hide ourselves in shame?

He obviously didn’t purchase anything. Unless the goods are secreted about his person surreptitiously… Oh my.

Not that I’m admitting expertise or anything but you definitely seem to have a higher standard of adult shop than us down your way.

Before my readership in the Bible belt shrivells away completely ;), look at the top right of the picture…

“Want cash? Cash machine here” - amongst other things I know nothing about (but Colly does ;))

I see no issue here. What’s wrong with a gift shop for adults?

I’m not concerned that Andy is leaving the adult gift shop. I am, however, concerned that in his haste to conceal his identity, he seems to have missed the ‘one-way’ sign posted below the word ‘adult’.

Yes, the shame of it - how can you ignore the one-way sign. Such abuse of basic pedestrian laws He deserves outing just for that abuse of social laws - if we all ignored one-way directions where would we be… anarchy that’s where we’d be! The shame of it.

It seems so obvious.

Malarkey, realising he didn’t want that particular transaction on his bank statement, is leaving the adult gift shop to get cash from the machine next door.

Having been caught in the act we may never know if he returned to complete his seedy purchase…

Colly, you’ll make the paparazzi yet ;-)

A big pink bank full of wobbly knobs and edible pants? Can’t blame him really, beats the crap out of going to Nat West.

He may be blushing at being photographed, or squinting from the bright sunlight - how long had been in there? He’s clearly missing his shoes having, perhaps, been scared out of there by something… or someone?

The pink on the building makes the picture priceless. Do you have any night shots of the adult shop was wondering if it glows in the dark hot pink.
