Yeah, I think I like it more subtle. But I'll play around with it some more over lunch.

I'd probably fall to my knees and start speaking in tongues.

Can you imagine rolling up to a wreck and seeing it was the GSA. Mindblown!!

I just realized what this thread is about. I want to believe, but I am pretty convinced the GSA is some maggot trolling. How did a picture of him training in the morgan stanley gym make it to this webpage otherwise? It would be too much of a coincidence. That being said, my wife has seen him and swears he is 100% real. (She was able to resist his charms, or so she tells me).

If he is an elaborate hoax by a poster on this board, my hat is off to you, sir.

Can I still get a sticker, even if I have a hard time believing?

At alta, within a day or two of the well-documented Snowbird sighting, so it's not really news.

Lots of mags work in finance and more mags than you think work in finance in NYC. How about this....the GSA was spotted at Snowbird and posted up by a random mag......an unrelated mag in NYC recognizes the GSA on this site and boom! The Thread is on its way to HOF status.

I was tempted to add some small text around the border, but it seems like less is more. One of many lessons the GSA has to teach us.

Regarding Believe stickers:

I understand we gotta use color so the harness shows up, but wouldn't an all-black silhouette of the mythical beast and the statement "I believe" be more subtle, more original, and would more clearly show the dual GoPros? Let's face it, no sticker could ever capture all of the little details. Plus, I have a hypothesis that GSA gets his power directly from the dual GoPros, so they're really the only thing imperative to capturing the GSA vibe in a simple image. The harness and all that other stuff is just accoutrement.

my $.02, but I'm going to buy whatever merch comes out of this.

I like the idea. I also like the last revision. Superstator, since you have taken the reins, thoughts? Mock up?

I haven't gotten anywhere near the end of this thread, but this has to be one of the all time greatest threads I have ever seen on TGR. If this "Where's Waldo" thing catches on I am going to be able to die happy.

Great. I'm in for 10 stickers. Just one more sticker people are going to ask me about and not understand when I explain.

Look for me Brah, I'll be there.

Wherever there's someone with some herb to burn

Or a decent cliff drop or a backseat turn

Wherever somebody's flailing on their skis

Look in their eyes Bro. You'll see me.

YOU"LL SEE ME

Holy shit!!
This caused an outburst of laughter. I lack the words to describe all of this. It's all simply too awesome....I'm starting to feel a bit like the Triple Rainbow guy, basking in the glory that the GSA has bestowed upon all us lowly maggots.

I've heard the GSA touches this sign every time he heads out to the slopes.

Facebook = extinction of GSA in current form. TGR is too big now for things to stay on the down low.

Keep the faith brothahs....BELIEVE....odds are that GSA will continue to live in sublime ignorance of notoriety and a new sighting will appear soon.
