Yea yea!!! He works at the Renaissance Fair in Magnolia, Texas! I’ve seen him tons of times. Everybody’s got a picture with him (who’s been to that fair, which by the way, is the best in the country), so it’s not an awkward anything! So what I’m trying to say is, everyone should definitely go to that Renaissance Festival!!!
Um… These Renaissance fair-thingies… I’m guessing ‘Renaissance’ must be interpreted as a fairly liberal and flexible time period? I mean, centaurs come from ancient Greek mythology, and that’s a good 1500 years or more before the Renaissance.
Do these fairs have like dinosaurs and astronauts as well perhaps?
*sighs* ahhh my first book signing!
It was a hundred and two, The Austin Texas sun beat down on us.
And even in my red hot pants (well, as hot as you can get with a fourteen year old)
I still didn’t sweat as much as that guy.
I felt kinda bad for him.
I know him. lol. I’ve worked at the Texas Ren Fest. Really awesome place if you take it for what it is. Not cool if you really believe you are a fairy or a centaur or a barbarian.
Oh I love that guy. He is at the Texas Ren Fest every year. My son is always freaked out when we try to get him to take a picture with him. It looks really strange out of context, but when you are at the faire, he is pretty cool
Larry has thousands if not more pics floating around and yes this is Sherwood Ren Fair on 290 by the town of Dade in TX.. Just be glad this is not one where he shows he is a MALE centar… Yes his outfit has one and it can drop into view if he wants it too… Gotta love Larry. Next we all hope to put a baby keg inside him with a pump under the tail and guess were the tap will be… “why does this beer taste like warm horse piss?”
AAAAAHHH!! I have a photo of myself and my sister with this very same centaur! Ours is more awkward and I’ll tell you why– being good Ren Fair attendees, we are in full costume, and our boobs are hanging out of our “period” costumes (got mine at Hot Topic) at exact same eye level as this dude’s gut. So imagine: boobs, gut, boobs. An unflattering visual metaphor. I’ll have to scan it and send it in.
this photo is from the Texas Sherwood forest ren fair. i’ve seen the guy there several times. as for the costume..its only one guy. the horse part is a frame. and as for the dollar bills he has, people dress up and go to this fair and interact with people in character to add “atmosphere”. they are given tips as an appreciation.
With all the centaur weirdness, I think the girl’s expression is priceless. As if she’s thinking: “I can’t BELIEVE my mom wants me to be in this picture!”
I have a picture of my kids with this guy. We took it at Sherwood Faire – a Rennasicance Festival in Texas. And yes, we tipped him a few bucks for the pic.
“Now Stacey, I told the class to paint a picture of your family. Instead you painted a picture of what looks like a centaur and Boudiccea.”
“But Miss…”
“I thought our chat after your essay on ‘What I did in the school holidays’ put a stop to this. And then there was the incident with Slippers, the class rabbit…”
I am picturing this conversation out loud in the voice of the Mathleate girl in Freaks and Geeks and it is making me LOL for reals. My hubs wanted to know what was so funny.
Ok. I have to say that this comment is gold. I’ve worked at TRF and have met this guy, but I also went to elementary school with the mathleate from Freaks and Geeks (Sarah Hagan).
I just tried to stifle my laughter at this comment which resulted in something that sounded like a wheezing, 90 year-old, smoking witch, squeaky toy. My co-worker just turned from her deck to make sure I was alright.
Actually, it is a family. The woman is Dianne from Eliot in the Morning (DC rock station morning show) and that is her husband and daughter at the MD Rennfest. It was posted on their Facebook page about a week ago.

Ha! I took one look at the background and knew this had to be the Texas Renaissance Festival. This isn’t even the worst costume!

What’s more awkward than browsing the hall of fame and realizing you know him personally!?!? LOL.. my centaur made the HOF!
Are those stripper dollar bills on his arm?

he was nice though….
I have pics taken with the guy at the Texas Renaissance Festival in Plantersville, Texas.
We always have a blast!
Jeez…if you all have the same pic with him, question I have is how many children DID he father…HA
Dolla…Dolla bill ya’ll!

Its the really rubbish paper mâché back half that creases me up
Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Just Ahahahahahaha!
good God that looks like the Bay Area Renfest…I was just there last weekend….I’m sad this magnificent specimen wasn’t there to see first-hand.
“Man, your Dad is such and ass!”
Why is he having money attached to his arm? Is he a dancing centaurs? Now that is a very funny thought!

So, when she hits puberty, she can expect to develop a nice hind end that all the girls will envy. And a ponytail to die for!
Hahaha! This guy is a the Renaissance festival in Texas EVERY year. hahaha he’s finally made it on one of these sites. haha

I agree…she couldn’t look more miserable if she actually lived in the Middle Ages.
“HOHH MY GOD, WHY IN PUBLIC, WHY.” is what I got from it. Poor kid.
I’d hate to be the guy who has to spend all day in the back of that costume.
I totally remember seeing this guy at the Texas Ren Fair!
the girl is probably saying “hey damsel lady, can u cover up your bosom more next time?” i was going to take a picture to school for show an tell… lol
I don’t want my bf to get any ideas…
Doesn’t this belong on Awkward Family Pet Photos?
“Dang it, Earl….the rest of us went all out…..and here you show up with just a half-ass costume!!!”
LOL! love it!
Poor guy in the back!
I don’t want to see where the lemonade comes from.
win
I have that exact same outfit! What are the odds . . . ?
I wonder if anyone has ever tried to tip him over. Oh, wait…that’s cows. I got him confused with the Minotaur.
I have a picture of my kids with this guy. We took it at Sherwood Faire – a Rennasicance Festival in Texas. And yes, we tipped him a few bucks for the pic.
It’s the guy in the back half of the costume who deserves the tips.
Win!
I remember this guy from Harry Potter
Daughter does NOT want to be there …
are those dollar bills on his arm choker?
The Old Spice auditions didn’t work out, but Larry found work as a medieval banker…
Smell like a centaur.
So, no one thinks the centaur has money under his armband? What, is he workin’ the pole over at the Cask and Flagon?
definitely! cash in the armband! he’s gotta job on the side
That costume is quite impressive. The little girl’s looks cute, but the mom’s is a Bust!
(Snort!) You said “bust”!
XD
BUAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!!! WIN!

Annie, you know that was a bit, right? That’s not Diane.
Aaaah the Ren festival……a virtual cornucopia of awkward!
I do believe I have a picture with this same guy at the Tx Ren Fest.
And sometimes the cornucopia is literal.
Not virtual, actual.
