The winner of this challenge will be the person who most accurately mimics another member in terms of some combination of style, pose, etc. While I will stop short of issuing an edict for how a vote should be compiled (though it is unequivocally within my woolly purview), I suggest ample consideration be given for those crafty contestants who select a member with a style markedly different than their own. I conducted a social experiment where I did something similar and pretended to be someone unable to assemble a gaggle of morally bankrupt, scantily-clad blondes within 4.5 seconds of entering the local saloon. If you're looking for inspiration, check out this thread from a couple years back. Congratulations GMMcL! :slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer::slayer: Voting now closed Claghorn as Vox:

All submissions are due by 9PM, ET on Friday, April 12th, at which point a poll will open. Voting will close at 6PM, ET on Monday, April 15th.


If you were able to pretend not to be able to gather a willing gaggle of hot hoochies and/or freakazoids upon entering a drinking establishment, you should have won the Oscar for best impersonation of a sheep without sheepdip.

My only concern is how many cruel-but-painfully-accurate parodies of the Crusty Crouch will be spawned by this event - or maybe people will pick the Spoo-Pose? The only problem with imitating His Spoo-ness is acquiring that much Tom Ford in the space of less than a week.

Looking for another male member to sit on my lap for the upr_crust x holdfast pose.


Sounds like a Photoshop collaborative effort - we're spread out over God's green earth in real life.

If lots of people do imitate the Crusty Crouch, can I claim that mine is the squat that launched a thousand fits?

I was thinking about posting one with the Spoo-pose but then realized that could be hard to do.
