What an amazing prize!
The two men in the photo had stuff in common though, Rogue Dandy couldn't quite grasp a handle on what these things were. They of course had white shirts on, and mean looks on their faces, but what did it mean? Yes, what did those two things together mean, he wondered, besides the fact`that they looked like they had tempers. Could their tempers, he wondered loudly to himself, mean they were in it together?
Angry men together is the obvious, but they may be contemplative or constipated. I think the photo is photoshopped. They remind me of my former past in a sort of whimsical, magical way but not. It’s hard to explain and even harder to describe. I wouldn’t call them tasty but I think they could have been in that courtroom movie with that famous actor. Strange angelical men it would seem, irregardless of their angry outlooks, so perhaps they look strangely devil like with devil may care stares but without the whimsy.

We're both annoyed about being photographed by a paparazzo, although Grish, as usual, is bottling up his anger, looking off to the side, while I am directing my anger at the photographer, who, as I recall, I threw to the ground and stomped on shortly after the photograph was taken. Also, I'm looking over the top of my pince-nez, and Grish is looking over the tops of his contact lenses. And of course we're both remarkably handsome, although Grish achieves this effect with about a pound of stage makeup, while I come by it naturally.
Robin left them both in the dust. For moi.
