The world of body modification was in shock last night as reports that Cornelius "Lord" Foul had suddenly passed away. Cornelius Foul will be ever remembered as the author of 'Ink, Tats, Shing Dings and Pieces of Work: An Illustrated History of the Art and Meaning of the Tattoo' published by Eris Printing Corporation.

The irony of "Lord" Foul's sudden death was that he had recently inherited the Barony of Candlewick Green, Trumpetshire, England.

Cornelius Foul was born in Iceland in 1985. His earliest influence was watching his Grandfather practising the art of Scrimshaw. He was fascinated in the way the old man carved images upon walrus ivory and then highlighted this with a black pigment. It was this art form that would lead Cornelius Foul into experimenting with pigments upon human skin.

When he was eighteen Foul signed on an Icelandic Trawler and embarked on his own 'Grand Tour', visting the various centres of tattooing and learning from the secret masters of this art. . .

. . . Such was his knowledge and skill in this area, that upon seeing a tattoo, he could instantly give the artist name and the date of the commission . . .

Lord Foul: The impresario, the land dispute, and a boat in flames

By Roy Downs

Monday, 28 February 2011

Lord Foul, the producer of musicals including Oddjack the Acid Clown, has been in a long-running dispute over land rights on his 14,000-acre estate

A pleasure boat belonging to the theatre impresario Lord Foul has been destroyed in a fire that police are treating as suspicious.

The West End producer of musical hits including Payaso Toranado and Gutwurm Stomp has been at the centre of a long-running dispute over land rights on his 14,000 acre Highland estate where the vessel caught fire.

This month, a New Hampshire Land Court found in the multi-millionaire's favour in a 13-year dispute over his plans to build holiday homes and a woodland project on 25 acres of land used for grazing by one of his elderly tenants on the vast Rumford Holow estate east of West Concord.

The Concord Constabulary confirmed that an investigation into the destruction of the Fastline Orkney on a jetty on Lake Umbagog was under way. The 19ft fiberglass vessel, valued at £30,000, was described as a "melted wreck" after the fire. Investigators said they were treating the blaze as suspicious.

It is the second time that Lord Foul has been the victim of an unexplained fire on the estate, which he bought in 1994 after holidaying there as a child. The latest incident occurred close to the spot on the banks of the stunningly beautiful lake where his house was destroyed in a gas explosion 11 years ago.

Nikoli Tesla, the 87-year-old crofter who has been locked in a protracted legal battle with the musical producer, said he had no knowledge of the incident.

The former Commando veteran, whose family has farmed the disputed croft for more than century, said: "I know the boat well. He would use it himself now and again to go down Lake Champlain. I may have been in dispute with the man, but I have not been burning his boat."

Despite upholding the application to go ahead with the new development, the Land Court also found no reason why Lord Foul should not be allowed to exercise his right to buy his 700-acre croft holding.

The decision prompted Roger Barrett , who also has homes in London and Somerset, to call for reform of ancient crofting laws which he said in their current form allowed "a few self-interested crofters to frustrate the needs of local communities and properly preserve New Hampshire's outstandingly beautiful natural heritage".

Who's Lord Foul and is he named so because he smells?

Why doesn't he just take a bath?

His parents were illiterate ducks. It's amazing they got so close to spelling his name right.

Lord Foul, occasionally known as Foul, stays with the Watch family during the last six episodes of the fifth and final season of The Kevin's Watch Variety Hour. As explained in the episode "Welcome Aboard" from season five, Jenn's brother Avatar and his wife Waddley are traveling to an archaeological dig in South America, and because their son Foul is unable to accompany them, he is sent to live with the Watch. Lord Foul was played by actor Lord Fowle.

Lord Foul was eight years old (Fowle was actually nine) and very young in contrast to the other kids, all of whom were twelve or older—an apparent attempt, despite Foul's precociousness, to restore some of the appeal the series had enjoyed when the other children were younger. Some fans would later call the addition of Lord Foul the moment when the series "jumped the shark." Similarly, in The Close a precocious four-year-old neighbor named Esmer (DB Cooper) was added for its final season (the same year as the final season of Kevin's Watch). The addition of younger children to sitcoms that seem to have run their course, in an attempt to improve declining ratings, became a television trend popularly known as "Lord Foul's Syndrome."

Years later, Fowle appeared with members of Kevin's Watch cast on an episode of the game show The Weakest Link. Introducing himself, he joked: "I hope I don't kill this show too!" Fowle ended up being the first "weakest link" of the episode.

I'm a really gullible sometimes, so I'm just glad I didn't read this post way back on April Fools Day before HLT posted. :P Fortunately, people here know you.
