Love the picture. Almost as scary as the Obama as the Joker image making the rounds lately.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
Yeah I saw that yesterday somewhere. Political leanings aside, that is a great image.

So Zimmerman wanted to move his family back to the eastern USA he said. We should have projected Gillis getting the bump.
Clearly he misses the inflated yet now depressed housing market. Or perhaps he’s moving into Naslund’s old house in Connecticut.

I’m sure Nazzy left his panties in the top drawer for Zimmerman to sniff.

Perhaps Darth Vader’s “Imperial March” can play for Gillis’s future press conferences?
(sharpens knife in case of future ‘Fail’ replies)
I think we should all chip in and buy him a cape.

If Darth Gillis blows up Tony Gallagher’s office at the Province a la Alderaan,
I’ll buy him the goddamn Vader suit with my own savings.
Larry Gilman would also have to change his name to ‘Grand Moff Tarkin’.
I sense a whole post coming out of this…

I’m tall enough, just not hairy enough :)
I’ve always wanted to find a Chewbacca suit tho. Why? So I can drive 300 km north and run across the highway. Bigfoot sighting!

No, I had a Gillis as the emperor photoshop and I can’t find it.

Alright then, put on this costume quickly!

Or, a giant sandy vagina as someone put it a coupe of weeks back. I’ll never think of that scene the same again.

It’s bound to get better as camp gets closer. Just a scant five more weeks or so.
