“I worked at a cub scout camp that had a theme of Star Wars. Some of my co-workers and I had a picture taken together. The older guy is a falconer, and we used the raven at camp a lot. To me, this picture makes so much sense, but to anybody else, there are three teenagers surrounding an older man holding a raven, and we’re all dressed as Jedi. Weird.”

I know this guy with the raven. How crazy is that, there are 6 billion people on earth and I know the guy with the raven. His name I think is Ben
the bird’s the one the most confused in this picture, i’d say!
I seem to remember you wearing this in high school too… Dude! Jeff! This picture is epic!
so…where are the jedi camps for adults?
or do i have to be a falconer?
Makes perfect sense to me! Sounds like an awesome camp.
Ravens are AWESOME!
Raven / Falcon? Don’t know. Is it tasty? Prefer turkey or chicken for some reason
After reading the story again, I am going to say the the young gent on the right is the older one due to hand position of holding the falcon. If I am wrong, please correct me.
According to this picture, he’s a “ravener,” not a “falconer.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I love how explaining the all the elements in the picture make it “make sense.” Because nothing makes more sense than having a Falconer dressed up as a Jedi at a Cub Scout camp. Love it.
My first thought (before reading the explanation) was actually “Lady Hawk!!”
Me too!!!
Wow. My first Toyota was smaller than that bird.
I believe this falconeer works at my local museum and gives free bird shows during our city celebration. He does a great job!!!
Lol
Oh Donald…. you will be the Falcon… and I will remain…. The Falconer!
Was he a Millennium Falcon-er?
Ok…I had to laugh at that one.
Darth Raven…. the bane of my existence!!!
Must have something to do with the Millennium Falcon.
An “older man”???? They all look like teenagers!
I too, was wondering which one was the oldest! Please specify who is the leader of this group!
We must be “of a certain age;” I , too, had to look twice to see an “older man.” I am assuming it is the one with the facial hair. He does look older than the other three lads but not as old as the raven.
Toss-up between the two in the center! @ ScoutC- Assume nothing!!! I still am wondering who is the oldest. Facial hair doesnt really mean anything. If the one with no facial is the oldest, it just means he shaves, or can’t grow a decent crop of facial hair.
also @ ScoutC-I am a person of a certain age. Not really proud of it or asshamed of it. Just a fact. Can we laugh together now? HHHAAAAAAAHHHAAAA! Weeeoooo! Snort Snort Snort!!
Edgar Allan Poe was a Sith.
I wonder if they taught the raven to say “nevermore” lol! Your post made me truly laugh out loud.
The lightsaber merit badge was tough.
ugh, I could have got a raven…
NICE!!!!
quoth the raven, “never again.”
Erm, “nevermore” actually. But well done.
um, i think that was a joke bud
Quoth the Raven…
This is, quite possibly, the most winning thing I have ever beheld.
Get a life!
Zoltan!
ROFL
There is something strangely attractive about this photo.
When asked if they would ever pose for a picture like this again, they quoted Edger Allen Poe by saying, “Never More”. LOL
“Ah, I should’ve bought a falcon!”
Lol.. funny..real.. funny says the wife of the man who bought the moose head.
May the force be with you!
Never more!
Nevermore!!!
