  Characters - Friar Tuck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It was rumoured in Sherwood that a Friar that had been expelled from the local abbey (for challenging the corrupt Abott), Michael Tuck, was residing at a ford a short trip from Robin's hideout.
Friar Tuck did so, but threw Robin down so hard on the other bank that he dropped his sword, then forcing Robin to carry him across the river, no mean feat, considering Friar Tuck was nearly 20 stone (140 kg).
Friar Tuck was a rotund simple Friar, who liked a good leg of lamb or a skin of ale.

 Friar Tuck Review by Sean Parnell
Friar Tuck's is owned by Angelo and Christine Como, and was opened in 1970.
With the recent closings of nearby Big Daddy's (gay) and the Lakeview, Friar Tuck's is one of the last good dive bars in the area and easily is the most unique.
Friar Tuck's is also a great place to observe the annual Gay Pride Parade and all its throbbing, exposed gayness in late June, as they set up a grill in the southeast corner of the Dominick's parking lot and sell drinks in plastic cups or pineapples (Bahama Mamas) inside.

 Tuck, Friar --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
A jovial friar whose girth and religious garb belie his fighting abilities, Friar Tuck is one of the closest companions of the legendary outlaw hero Robin Hood.
Formerly, friar was the title given to individual members of these orders, as Friar Laurence (in Romeo and Juliet), but this is no longer common.
The duke, disguised as a friar, rescues Isabella from Angelo's intrigue, saves her brother Claudio from execution; then, in his own character, weds Isabella and compels Angelo to marry his jilted sweetheart, Mariana.

 Robin Hood and the Friar -- Robin Hood Spotlight of the Month
The first time Friar Tuck is mentioned by name as being a part of Robin Hood's outlaw band is in a fragment of play [although Stephen Knight argues that the play may be complete and just ends with an action scene] which survives from 1475.
If Tuck is the better man, he says of Robin "By my truth my knave shall he be,/ And lead these dogges all three." The Friar and Robin meet and trade insults.
Tuck whistles for his own men [with dog-like names Cut and Bause, and in the ballad version, they are dogs].

You’ll see that Friar Tuck is imprisoned in a little hanging cage in the northeastern part of the castle.
Then head for the northeastern part of the castle where Friar Tuck is. You should be able to disable the guards on the southern ramparts easily, and rescue Friar Tuck.
You can’t simply sneak around the guards on the ramp, so have Friar Tuck throw wasp’s nests at the two guards at the base of the ramp, and then move your characters north into the castle and into one of the buildings in the courtyard.

 Viruses and System Security (a story) [rec.humor.funny]
Robin Hood and Friar Tuck were designed to run as "ghost jobs" (daemons, in Unix terminology); they would use the existing loophole to subvert system security, install the necessary patches, and then keep an eye on one another's statuses in order to keep the system operator (in effect, the superuser) from aborting them.
The Robin Hood and Friar Tuck ghosts were finally eradicated when the system staff rebooted the system from a clean boot-tape and reinstalled the monitor.
Robin Hood (Dan Holle) did much of the development of the PL-6 system-programming language compiler; Friar Tuck (John Gabler) was one of the chief communications-software gurus for several years.

But the fat friar hung on and dug his heels into his steed's ribs in as gallant manner as if he were riding in a tournament; while as for poor Robin the sweat ran down him in torrents and he gasped like the winded horse he was.
Come but within reach of my sword arm, and, friar or no friar, I'll shave your tonsure closer than ever bald-pated monk was shaven before!" "Soft you and fair!" said the friar unconcernedly; "hard words are cheap, and you may need your wind presently.
