E. the Martian...?

Is E. the Martian same one that slid down the cliff just past the point in only a towel and now has a drink in the Point named after him. Its the Eric Slider and is a messy looking drink that is supposed to resemble his backside after said slide.

Nah, that's "Big Fall" Eric, the Aussie mate of Allan's. My dive buddy in Palau 1997 on the trip with Esbjorn, Magnus, Allan, Tommy and Mr. Tucker.

Anyway, to clarify, Eric the Martian is "Little Fall" Eric, the Mauritian who fell off the wall by the point bar and landed on his head and was never quite the same again...

Eric the Mauritian before (when he was normal), then Eric the Martian after (when he went a bit weird), see?

I think they both have a drink named after them. One day I'll tell you about the drink I created called the "Smooth Kisser", it was actually a damn fine mix, though I say so myself, but caused a great deal of amusement among the animals...planned for, naturally

Acually, that Eric was in fact completely unclothed when he fell. They found a white plastic chair and a towel in the tree outside his balcony (where, fairly, it was assumed he fell from).

Aparently alcohol and "Marley veggies" might have been involved...still don't know why he was nekkid, tho. Odd chap.

Larry, thanks for the correction on which E. is which...I may not know E. the Martian as I only became a regular in PG in '98 after I moved back to the Philippines in '97.

................. They are actually mandatory in Canada if you are on a road, and you will get fined for not wearing one

Do they have laws in Canada for riding like an idiot? Perhaps that would protect the bicyclist better than a helmet law for adults.

One of the reasons I don't live back in the States is because there are too many laws to protect people from themselves...let Darwin do his thing is what I say.

There is actually an existing video of some weird characters at the Point. One of them looks very much like you.
