Blunder Man



Blunder Man was born in the Scottish low-lands in the 'William Smelly Memorial Hospital ' (pronounced smiley), in 1982. Or found fully formed complete with wispy pube-like beard, somewhere in the carpathian mountains, depending on which source you chose to believe. It must be noted however that his parents, wandering street performers, whose act consisted of bag pipe music played on instruments fashioned from scavenged vacuum cleaner parts, left for a tour of Europe in the seventies and returned years later with an 18 stone bouncing 'baby boy'.

Blunder Man or 'the beast' as he was then known, was incorporated into his parents act from that moment onward. He was caged, in front of an audience while his parents played atonal music on their makeshift instruments, enraging the creature to the delight of  baying audiences.

Their act eventually brought them to Dublin, in the nineties, the last place in Europe backward enough for this bizarre theatre of cruelty to be acceptable. It was an error of judgement which tore the family apart. In a landmark ruling of 1999: State vs MacBissell's Travelling Freaks, the beast was emancipated and awarded damages amounting to £23.

Although free at last Blunder Man found no place for a beast in society. He found menial jobs which utilised his extraordinary physical stature. These included ditch digging and hired muscle for low level underworld operators.

In 2005 he found solace in the shape of Blunder Girl who could see the beauty in this particular beast. Since 2007 he has been working as an agent of the government, hired to fill some sort of equality quota.
