I have been seeing my social media feeds blow up with stuff about some guy they call the Tiger King. Something about Oklahoma and tigers? I thought Oklahoma was home to Boomer Sooner? Anyway, my TV has not been turned on since last Sunday's worship service. Who needs TV when we have books, and the great outdoors. Or a dog that always wants to play fetch indoors instead of outdoors. That leads me to the reason for this post.
About 6 1/2 years I was in the captivating lake town of Ohrid, Macedonia. While staying in a hostel there I met a few guys from Israel. I was able to learn a little bit about my heritage during my first two nights there, thanks to these guys. As I was finishing up a Sunday morning long run around the town the, Roi, Adam and their other traveling companion were coming downstairs. Turns out they were leaving for their next destination. I was stretching outside when Adam asked me if I would do him a favor.
When you run for however long I ran that day, you end up being a little sweaty. Little could be a giant understatement. It turns out that Adam had recently started this project during their travels. He had this tiger suit, and he would approach folks and ask them to wear it, while he took a few pictures of them. I gladly accepted since I was from the land of the Memphis Tigers (good enough reasoning, right). The server at the restaurant below the hospital happened to play witness to this occurrence so she even volunteered to be a part of the project with me.
Needless to say, Adam has traveled through various parts of the world with this tiger suit. Many folks around the world have modeled for Adam in the tiger suit. If I could model one thing in my life wouldn't I want to choose a tiger suit. Heck, I don't really know. I have had to strut down a runway in fashion show once or twice (way back in the day guys), but the tiger suit definitely topped those adventures.

Adam has even contributed to the website boredpanda.com a time or two. This website is full of fun articles that can keep you laughing for a little while. Honestly, I have only skimmed through a few but I would assume that they have more awesome stuff as well. So I leave you with these links here. (Adam's Bored Panda contributions - Tiger Suit 2019, Tiger Suit 2016 ). You can also find him on Facebook if you search "the tiger suit", and he may be on Instagram as well. Enjoy and I hope you get a few laughs from this. Adam would definitely enjoy your visits!
