Quick thought on Vitaly

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Can we just fit him for one of those broken nose masks to complete the
ridiculously goofy effect V seems to be going for? With the bedhead,
overbite, colored mouthpiece and headband, has anyone so naturally
intimidating ever managed to look so... doofy? I actually laughed out loud
at him the other night in the Orlando game. He was lining up along the free
throw lane, hair looking like my 3-year-olds when she wakes up, breathing
out of his mouth and staring into space. The guy is looking more and more
like he commutes to the games on the short bus. Get him the mask and cue up
a clip of him fumbling a pass out of bounds (won't be hard to find), and I'm
telling you, he's a one-man comedy machine.

I meant to post after the Orlando game and didn't have time, but someone's
mention of Vitaly in an earlier post triggered the memory. I chuckled at my
desk just thinking about that visual. Sorry if this offends any of the
touchy-feelies on the list.
