Be wary around the set lest things start blowing up. :p
It was all the fault of the sunglasses….
Lol Justin clone escapes his BoW bonds, be on the lookout near all good Model/game shop’s.
oh come on surely I’m a Myth gone wrong 🙂
Lol so how is the Irish Nessie then Justin ?
This is hilarious to me because just recently I had a total fan moment when I saw a guy that looked like Lloyd in a completely not-gaming environment while on my first trip outside of the U.S. .. and it turns out it /was/ Lloyd. 🙂
Did he ask you if you were selling foam?
Are you sure it wasn’t John’s wood dealer from a Weekender a good while back 🙂
Whoosh, right over my head. But.. is that a beret or a really bad toupee/comb over? And wow, with that goldmine photo from the Weekender for source material….
It’s a beret. Recently people have commented that in a recent photo Justin looks like Jamie Heineman from Mythbusters. This turns it on its head and has a kid mistaking Jamie for Justin. 😉
Ah, okay, but when he’s shaved he resembles Werner Klemperer from Hogan’s Heroes, sans monocle, of course. Get Warren a leather flight jacket and you could have Warzan’s Heroes. Warzaaaaaan…..!
I shouldn’t have look at this with a mouthful of drink ……
i missed something? i dont get this one.
See my above reply; it’s been commented recently that Justin in sunglasses and beret looks a bit like Jamie Heineman of Mythbusters so this is turning that on its head with OTTkid mistaking Jamie for Justin and Jamie not having a clue what the kid is on about.
Are we getting a new themed miniseries soon called MythosBusters?
I like the sound of that!
