Muffler Man - Boardwalk Pirate

Notice some of the details of this highly-modified Muffler Pirate Man. The peg leg, the added beard and big red jacket. The earings and the eye patch. The right up-turned hand is a hook. What I love the most is how well the sword fits in his "hands."

There were a number of more interesting miniature golf courses on the boardwalk, but I played in this one only because I recognized this silent giant.

Muffler Man - Boardwalk Pirate

In August 1997, I spotted a Muffler Man disguised as a sword-holding pirate standing in the center of a miniature golf course on the Boardwalk at Ocean City, N.J.
