Weird Birthmarks??

Post by Puffdaddyuk »

Ok this might sound very weird and alittle odd, but we have noticed a weird looking birthmark kinda thing ages ago and it hasnt gone :shock: on our MBU

He has a perfectly round circle on his belly and inside the circle is a perfect triangle that looks like this but the other way around

This pic is when he was really ill and you can just see the circle/triangle weird kinda crop circle thing going on (he's all better now btw)

It dosent seem to have any affect on him and it looks like its been there a while, its like a small indent on his belly about 10mm round and has been there for say 4/5months

Do any of your puffers have any kinda of weird markings, birthmarks etc etc or is Puffdaddy just a weirdo :D

Lots of Puffs seem to have old, healed up scars from bites from other puffers - maybe that would explain it? Or maybe you're right & he does have a weird crop circle thing going on!!

Maybe he was an alcoholic at one time? If you flip it over, it's the symbol for AA.

Actually, that looks like some sort of external parasite scar, say a leach or something on the hitch hiker line that fell off.

Yeah could be a alcoholic leech, drank my puffers blood like a satanic vampire before popping into the AA on his way home,

Seriously though, I still reckon he was obducted by aliens over night and they inserted a brain bug to allow him to rule the free puffer world, take over earth and destroy all humans with there army of Umpa Lumpa's lol
