I had printed a photo for Deep Roy. I wasn’t sure he would have the one I wanted. I also brought a paint pen because I wasn’t sure if he’d have the color I wanted.
As Bobby Burns said: Best Laid Plans…
Deep Roy was nice very friendly. As my paint pen dripped
onto the photo and his hand, he was more concerned about my photo than
this orange covered hand. Very kind of him.
He cleaned up a little and my photo was trashed. I tried to
buy a photo from his table (he had a very similar photo for sale) and he waived
me off. He gave me one of his. Again, very kind of him. I offered to get some water and paper towels
and he declined. He probably wanted to
get rid of me.
Hs handler was totally confused by the incident. He wasn’t
sure if he needed to give me change or charge me more for the autograph.
Dep Roy had an orange Sharpie that worked well. He offered to
take a selfie with me. Did I want photographic evidence I tried to paint him as
an Oompa Loompa? No, so I declined.
Tempting fate, before I left, I told him I remembered him from
Dr Who. He worked with my Favorite Doctor (Tom Baker). It was an interesting episode
and I loved that the Doctor wore a Deerstalker hat.
