My flat mate was walking through the park in the city that we live a few days ago, when she saw a man standing in front of a tree with a fish on his head and a loaf of hovis bread in his hand, and another man taking a photo of him.
We only know one explanation for this: he's a scammer being well and truly baited.

If you are the baiter who scored this trophy, or know who it was, PLEASE let me know. If he's a trophy machine and in my city, there's a strong chance of some live-action baiting.

wasn't this guy was it?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Back to normal service.

that is so classic. I cannot believe that you got to see it being done. I remember seeing pictures somewhere in the Picture forum with something similar to this. Maybe it was that baiter.

Why would you assume they were being baited? I hear that is a fairly standard security procedure. Laughing

@Foss: I don't suppose you could link me to the photos? I've been trawling the pictures forum, but I can't find anything similar to what my flat mate described Sad

I think that perhaps I may have merged two different baits that I have seen before together, because I have definitely seen a fish on the head, and some bread on the head. For example:

But I can't find anything specifically like that right now sorry. Whichis a shame, because it really does seem familiar.

No worries. I'm pretty sure that it's someone from here, since the "Church of Fish, Bread and Wine" photos are Eater classics. If anyone does notice such a photo doing the rounds here or on other baiting sites, if you could give me a PM I'd be very greatful indeed.

@Ivor Grimey Colon
I envy your flat mate. Cant tell what I'd do seeing it done (giving myself away laughing too hard, perhaps

). A shame that your mate did not shoot a picture with his cellphone. Very Happy

Indeed, unfortunately she was in a rush and didnt have time to photograph it. Apparently there were plenty of people standing around and laughing, so public humiliation of the lad was definitley achived, although my flat mate laughed harder than most coz she knew exactly what was going on Wink

Are you thinking of the Trophy Room rather than the Pictures forum?

The bait in question was The Holy Church of Fish and Bread originated by Shiver Metimbers.

Read two examples of its use on the main site at:

^^^ Indeed, that's obviously the original bait the idea was drawn from, but this bait is a lot more recent, perhaps even still ongoing.
