For our Australian friends - a folk hero Jack Karlson, is gone.

"Succulent Chinese meal. " "This is democracy manifest." 

or, as he was being arrested and forced into a squad car, "Are you waiting to receive my limp penis?"


He once escaped from a court room by convincing guards that he was a detective.


An Austrailian Jesse James?


It’s been all over our news … I have to confess that I don’t remember too much about him apart from that quote, but marksierra probably knows more…certainly a colourful bloke.

What a fun character! I had never heard of him but just read the Guardian article to learn about him.
