    I can see Russ leaning up against a post, saying
    "But I'm tired, been fixin' lights all day"
    She said "That don't befront me,
    Long as I get my money next Friday"
    Now next Friday come he didn't have the rent,
    And out the door he went.

    You guys are getting spoiled! So now I have to take a person's length and girth into account? How about you guys start using some proper selfie etiquette! 83.7% of the selfies you guys post have either some form of alcohol or food partially blocking your face! And would it kill you to actually look straight into the camera? And by all means, don't start a selfie thread! Make us hunt all over the forum looking for that certain selfie to fit the picture. And don't bother to take a selfie in properly lit conditions! Make us work for it. :smiley:

    Am I not entitled to a little artistic license? Hardy's wig goes in the middle, it's the focal point. John can't even look straight into a camera when taking a selfie, so since his head is slightly turned, he has to go on the end. And since this is a "Russ Thread", he HAS TO BE Verbal, who is on the far right. Did you guys not see the movie? No spoilers!

    But just to make everyone happy, since I "try" to contribute the best I can, here is a solution to Russ' mutant height... a Mr. Kobayashi photobomb. So now Skip gets all the glory of being Verbal! And I shrunk John's head down slightly.

    I was going to do Reservoir Dogs with the guys walking down the street together, but unfortunately their height and body type didn't match the members here. We don't have to be gender specific, but their height has to be accurate! :open_mouth:

    All of you folks making fun of Russ? That's just mean. You should fell ashamed of yourselves.....picking on a man for no good reason. I just so happen to know the real reason why this thread has gone on for so long. You are all just jealous of Russ.

    We'd have to rent a bucket truck if we needed one -- instead of just leaving a large quantity of alcohol-containing refreshments out on the stoop* and waitin' for one to show up.

    (apologies if someone already suggested this a year or so ago when this thread was started -- I was too lazy to check & I am too old to remember!)

    * Stoop, for any who might not know, is a very authentic, traditional Bawlmer term for one's front steps/front porch area.

    I have the grandkids take a stick and bang it on a tree late at night....in hopes of hearing the Russ howl. Then I have them leave some wine out in the woods for him. Next morning it's gone, and I tell them see, he was here.

    Dude, they know....there's always wine on papa's breath anyway.

    I've also taught them what to listen for to know when the Russ monster is around. Whenever they start hearing the Chuck Berry song, "My ding a-ling", he's around, sinking loud and proud. :)
