Muffler
Man
RA ID#: 8994
Type: Pirate
Town: Ocean City
State: New Jersey
Muffler Man - Pirate:Address: Ocean City, NJ [ Show Map] Directions: South of Atlantic City, Garden State Parkway, exit 29.
Arm position: std, hook hand
Accessories: pirate scabbard, eye patch,
wooden leg, gold hoop earrings
Note: Watch for the nearby crashed Nam chopper,
piloted by a skeleton, and the King Kong head at the entrance of Congo
Falls.
Just off the boardwalk at this popular Jersey beach town, behind
Congo Falls and next to a Spanish galleon, stands a
muffler man pirate. He is a hazard on a pirate-themed miniature
golf course.
We were encouraged
to believe a former Bunyan had been repurposed into a peg-legged
scoundrel.
But
this same
configuration -- rare though it be, me lads -- had been reported
elsewhere.
The Piratization of a muffler man was
an original factory specification, with accessories such as the
eye patch and peg leg available as options.
Viewed in another context, this muffler man represents
one's triumph over handicaps -- and the golf course is wheelchair
accessible.
Eerily, a doppelganger pirate muffler man also lords over the
other Ocean City, in Maryland.
