Subdeacon Joe Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Somehow, I don't think the other residents are the only "greatly disturbed" people. SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Police in Idaho Falls have told a man to stop wearing a bunny suit in public after people complained he has been frightening children. Residents in the northwestern U.S. city of 54,000 people also reported William Falkingham, 34, occasionally wears a tutu with the bunny suit, police said in a statement on Tuesday. Police warned Falkingham after a woman said she saw him dressed in the costume, peeking at her young son from behind a tree and pointing his finger like a gun. While a police report said other residents were "greatly disturbed" by his activities, one neighbour defended Falkingham as eccentric but otherwise harmless. "He's got the bunny outfit, a cowboy suit (ah ha!) and a ballerina dress but you don't see him except where he's (tripping through his backyard," ("tripping" may be the key word there.)Deborah Colson told Reuters. "He's got a strange lifestyle (ya think???)at home but we all do weird things at home." Falkingham told officers he "enjoys wearing the suit" but understands the concerns and that he could be cited as a public nuisance, police spokeswoman Joelyn Hansen said.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 What is all the fuss about. A person enjoys lounging in comfortable attire after a hard day at the candy store. Everybody wants to call him nuts. As long as the tutu doesn't clash color wise, with the bunny suit, or as Bob said, it is not rabbit season. Rabbit season could get ugly.

Subdeacon Joe Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 P O O K A - Pooka - from old Celtic mythology - a fairy spirit in animal form - always very large. The pooka appears here and there - now and then - to this one - and that one - a benign but mischievous creature - very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?" "How are you, Mr. Wilson?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Dialog from Harvey. Jesse White is reading the definition of a Pooka from the dictionary. When he gets to the part where it says "And how are you Mr Wilson?" he shakes the dictionary in disbelief and asks"who in the dictionary wants to know?". I thought everyone had seen Harvey.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I saw Harvey some time ago. Last time I saw him he looked pretty normal. No bunny suit or anything like that. Just trousers, shirt, shoe, etc. I don't think he does invisible tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O'Meara Himself Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Back in the 70s I worked in D.C. and we lived in Northern Virginia. There was a guy who dressed in a bunny suit and would jump out of a bush and bash the hoods of cars stuck in traffic, then run off and disappear. The cops could never catch him. After each incident here were headlines in the papers like "WHO IS THE BUNNY MAN" and "THE BUNNY MAN STRIKES AGAIN." Once he jumped out of some shrubbery and attacked a front porch with a small hatchet. (No one ever got hurt.) There was a TV show called "Laugh-in" on at the time and they got both Richard Nixon and John Wayne to dress in a bunny suit for the show. The Duke made a mighty big impressive Bunny Man but Nixon scared me more. So there is a precedent. The O'Meara, Himself. ps As far as I know they never caught him. He just went away after a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burly Bear Fred Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Maybe the guy needs to dress up in a Dog outfit and get him a spot on a Comedy Show. Oh CRAP that’s all ready being done. This wouldn’t even make “The News”, in San Francisco or Washington, DC where riding a bicycle in the “buff” is normal or ok. Really sad that most can’t mind their own business or get laugh out of this guy trying to get some attention for himself. Need to move along, nothing to see here.
