Dude, I seriously had no clue it was a joke until I saw the first couple replies.
Going through the pictures, I was thought to myself, I'm posting and getting help from a bunch of fruit cakes that are relatively old?
I also read the Real Pic thread so I knew relatively what Ryan looked like, so I was thinking that the large fellow hugging the other dude was an old photo of Ryan, but now he lost alot of weight and shaved.
Anyways, real funny thread. You're still catching people off-guard even after 8 months. Although, I'm a little worried about how Dark_Konoko got the pictures...
