Title: look-a-likes
Post by: CruiseAider on February 23, 2012, 09:59:52 AM
Hey guys, I usually just read, but I saw this on the butler message board and thought some of you might get a laugh out of it.  have we ever done anything like this?

Ok so I have to admit the KVW and Susan Boyle was made me crack up.  I may feel inspired.

Just gave it a peek. Very amusing. I was impressed that they included Sherry in the mix as well. I think if someone wanted to take the time, that would be a fun thing to do here occasionally... and it appears that MC is off and running now

Here are the first set of Bobby Thong's Valpo look-a-likes on the Butler Board.

KVW and Susan Boyle made me laugh as well.  The Matt Kenney and Bryce comparisons were pretty good as well.

I have long suspected Bobby Thong either uses a website or software to come up with these.... he sometimes has to do a new batch in 36 hours between games.  Even though they are quite comical, there are always a few in every batch that are DEAD ON..... it's just unbelievable.  Just goes to show the old saying that we all have an identical twin somewhere in the world. 

He doesn't do this to make fun of Butler's opponents, just make light of things and take a little edge off of sometimes an over-reactive board.  I'm sure he could do quite a number on the Butler roster and coaching staff if he so chose.

His look-a-likes are hilarious.  I look forward to them every time Butler and Valpo play.  Speaking of dead-on, how about the Ryan Broekhoff/John Lennon comparison?  Being from Australia Ryan probably has British roots.  Who knows?  :)

No one looks as much like Carlton as Jordan Taylor does.

I'm not sure how to post photos, but you should have put Kirby with Blackhawks coach Quenneville.

Ok, I can try to do that later, but I already posted his look-a-like.
