RoBorat Luongo

Ronnie "The Hockey Goon", of the Havoc Fanatics worked on a project all day long Saturday, no exaggeration. What project, may ask? Well there's a good chance, at least if you're a local fan, that you've heard RoBorat Luongo thrown around a few times. It's truely uncanny how similar Roberto Luongo looks to Borat. Anyway, the point of this article is to tell you about Ronnie's project, not describe the similarities between Borat and Roberto.

RoBorat Luongo You see, as a joke during the watching party for Game 5, Ronnie, Jeff K and I all joked about how great it would be to have a giant poster of RoBorat, to help raz Roberto during warmups. Come Friday Ronnie and I were passing back and forth an image that we were considering use for this project. Finally, come 11pm Friday night Ronnie stopped by my office (we have a nice color printer) with a pack of cardstock to do some prints. We decided to do something a little different though, instead of a giant poster, how about a few heads-on-sticks?

And thus became Ronnie's all day project, cutting out, taping together, and adding handles, to 30 slightly-larger-than-life RoBorat Luongo heads. And what an effect it had. At one point Robert skated over to the glass laughing and asked if he could have one, of course I, being a dumbass, forgot they didn't go back to their bench but left out the corner, and wasn't able to get it to him.

We were only able to get 30 out for the game, but if you wanted to make your own here's how:

  1. Print out this image
    • We printed it out to stretch to fit 2 sheets of paper white card stock (80lbs) paper in landscape format, which made the head about 50% bigger than life-size
  2. Tape the two sheets of paper together, front and back, so that the image lines up
  3. Cut out the image so the excess paper is gone
  4. Take a long stick, or as we used a 3rd sheet of cardstock folded up many times, and tape it to the back of the head as a handle, make sure it sticks out 3 or 4 inches to give you something to grasp
Simple, isn't it? Here are a couple shots of the heads in action, including this one from Getty Images (pardon the water mark):

It's funny how upset you are by this, Luongo actually loved it and asked us for one. So sorry you're so upset by this, but at the same time, why are you so cowardice that you would keep yourself anonymous? Lame, sir, Lame.
