Two Victorian ‘tramps’ by TinTrunk on Flickr.
These two chaps are presumed in the Flickr description to be ‘gentlemen’ affecting, quite meticulously, the appearance of ‘tramps’. Proto-cosplay?

As many of you know, I recently purchased an Uruk-Hai scimitar.
Well let me tell you, it was quite the pragmatic purchase. It has endless uses in my morning routine.
Such as making the bed:
Making toast:
Getting things off high shelves:
Making coffee:
Reaching the remote when it’s too far away:
And assisting me when I ran out of toilet paper:
I don’t know how I survived life without it.
