I really don't think that's him; he was local news for me, I've seen all the interviews and it never showed him laughing hard like that. In fact, if anything, he was on the verge of crying.

Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure on that one... I have no idea who it is if it isn't Epic Beard Man, though.

That is the lightest-skinned, non-squinty-eyed Asian that I've ever seen.

The reason for making a graemlin out of it has it's origins on The Growery.
A former member, kickin-two-hundo, made the following post:
Quote:
you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.
And that's why they made a graemlin out of it.
