Lightman sighting

The man, the myth, the legend.
For those doubting Thomas's (@tonyb
) I can tell you that @lightman1 does indeed exist. I have seen and heard the enigma as he was so kind to visit for a bit last week and then again yesterday.
I didn't attempt to take any photographs during our first initial meeting as I wanted to lul him into believing my intentions were anything but getting documented hard evidence of his existence.
However despite many attempts yesterday during lunch @ Big Woods Pizza and Brewing, or over the course of the day, I was unable to obtain any hard photographic evidence.
He is a cagey SOB and always seems to move at JUST the right moment to blur out the photograph.
Some pieces of information I can add/confirm to the dossier on him are the following:
1. He likes Belgium ale
2. He's taller than a weed
3. He's good with kids (or he is REALLY good at acting like it)
4. His diet consists of BBQ pork and occasionally with some weeds on top of it
5. He adapts to any environment, and fades into a crowd.
I apologize to the forum I was unable to obtain more information about the enigma known as lightman, however I believe I have helped fill in some valuable missing pieces in the puzzle.
I will continue to see what facts I can ascertain in my continued interactions with said individual, as it appears he has settled into the Indiana area for at least the next few weeks, in what could only be described as an act of madness, or an attempt to evade detection for a bit by those individuals in NC, TX, as well as IA.
I will continue to update this report as I know more.

Must be something in that American water. We have yet to spot him in Canada. Or perhaps we are lucky?!

He's sort of like Sasquatch as I understand it -- only furrier.
He also has a voice that's the envy of James Earl Jones.
(heck, I think he has a future career in doing voice-overs for movie trailers)

He's kind of like Beetlejuice where if you say his name 3 times, he'll show up, and wreck yo chit!Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
Something about the soundhole in an acoustic guitar, I suppose.
I do believe I heard that Mr. Lightman bought one of those "Twenty-three and Me" DNA test kits... the results turned up numerous Wookie genes.
I do believe I heard that -- not trying to start any rumours or spread any "fake news" or anything. I am far too circumspect for such shenanigans, as you all know.

Noted! -
Dan really should lock his back door. You never know who could be roaming the neighborhood.

With a face like that, you being a "backdoor" kind of guy doesn't surprise me.
Takes one to know one i suppose

You're next, Fred.... -

Massachusetts (the "M" is silent) would welcome you with open arms. Due mostly in part to you being about as hairy as our *women...You'd fit right in!You're next, Fred....
If we get another record setting 10+feet of snow this winter, you can come help dig out my "backdoor".
Eewwwww....
@msg You want prison....i give you prison!

Heck you might find yourself face down with your pants and undies around your ankles with coffee grounds covering your but-t . (those who watch rectify will understand) -
the term "rectify" in this context just seems -- wrong.

Russ is one of those people you have to experience in person and not just take to fuzzy photos and folk lore. As much as I'd like to push his buttons, he's a good dude and quite the character. The type of guy your mother warned you about as kids.
I'd share a bar stool with the man any day. Well....most any day, sometimes I just don't have enough drugs on hand to make it threw a Lightman visit.HT SYSTEM-

You house has weird settling issues.
You know, they make tools called stud finders. You don't need to put an outlet on each side to locate one.... Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!!
