There's a picture of THE PURPLE MAN! I was going to mention this Purple Man that my family and I saw in York, and that my dad took a good picture of and then proceeded to come home and make The Purple Man the Blue Man or the Green Man or the Rainbow Man via Photoshop. :D GASP!

I mean he had dressed up as a statue that had had its right arm cut off by vandals. I suppose he didn't have a right arm in the first place, but he'd fashioned a bronzed half-arm to wear that looked very much like a statue's arm hacksawed through just above the elbow.
