Thanks for the link Rob.

I was speaking of the team photo. I see someone here has already enhanced the photo and proven me right.

For the record, I wasn't agreeing with the commenter, just trying to clarify his comments.

If he were trying to protect people from his cigar, then it seems odd that he'd be holding so close to his teammates ear.

That is hilarious, thanks for sharing. Now to pick up an Old Hoss.

I like to watch people and over the years have become pretty good at how folks use the body to say F you, or other things along those lines. I also come from a long line of trash, and most of which were well skilled in the rougher forms of articulation.

In my opinion, Hoss is using and OLD SCHOOL form of the bird. The interesting thing is that this style of the bird is typical reserved for special occasions, as it hurts to do this one right. It shows that he was a pretty tough fellow to use this version in such a happy go lucky way. I remember this form being used by the older generations of my family most of which were born very poor and across the pond. They saved this jesture for when they really wanted to send someone down below, not just a casual F you to the guy that cuts you off. This bird was dusted off when you found your brother making out with your wife, while having his toe nails clipped by your daughter and kicking your dog with the other foot.

Just my thoughts. Nice work on blowing up that pic! WOW you guys are good.

Hope all is well,
Bob
