looks like someone needs a hot bath and a shave.
I heard that the reason they were tickeled at the time of this photo was Isakson had just let one slip.
that was a good one josey!
POWP
executive? is that what they call the butcher these days?
For God's sake Bryce, clean yourself up, you might as well have spattered blood on your apron and face. An executive butcher would never walk out of the house looking like that.
If by "executive" they mean girlishly thin and resembling a homeless man wearing a giant bib, well I guess we have ourselves an executive! I love the Barnesville Blog.
leave bryce alone!!!
I went to school with him here in Lamar county and he is nothing but nice. he always has a pleasant attitude! some people do work and get a little messy!! good grief!
Good grief is right, he is meeting one of the most powerful men in Georgia and he looks like a poor man's Grizzly Adams.
Happy Birthday.
He must be lobbying for the butcher's union.
did they run out of razors at giant mart? i guess its a good thing i go to ingles
Look, just because Bryce needs to shave doesn't mean he hasn't had a bath, or should be covered in meat blood, or is at all affiliated with the butcher's union. His aunt and my mother went to different schools together when they were kids and I happen to know Bryce. He's a good guy and it's obvious thay you-all are haters! Pick on someone your own size.
looks like a beard to me - not a lack of shaving. you people are weird.
I am pretty sure that beards are actually a direct result from the lack of shaving. I think that if he indeed was shaving, he wouldn't have hair all over his face.
Yea, I agree with the anonymous poster who posted at 10:45. See my brother in law went to school with Bryce's third cousin, twice removed on his Dad's side, so I know Bryce too even though I've never met him because my actual connection to him is extremely strange and covoluted, but from what I've heard and seen in pictures, he's a heck of a guy so I'm proud to say that I am his fourth cousin in law, thrice removed from his dad's side. Put down the Hatorade and lets give some wicked awesome props to my friend and estranged relative. Big ups B!
Dane for pres. & bryce for vp!!!!
I nominate Matthew Dalton Dayton for Pres and Bryce for VP. No razors allowed for anyone. Not even for Double D!
Didn't the caption to this story say this was a surprise visit? I take that to mean that Bryce wasn't expecting such VIP's to walk into Giant Mart that day. Maybe he woke up late and didn't have time to shave! Who knows and why do you care?
Even better, the man in charge waking up late to run his business. Look, the bottom line is that I don't want to have to worry about his hair folicles sporadically falling into my Rib-Eye like snow on Christmas Eve. If we can't expect that then we might as well go back to slaying our meat with bolos and living in caves.
TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THEY SMOKED A FAT ONE BEHIND giant mart
seems like i remember a bryce howell from barnesville. i used to come to buggy days when i was younger. we were just driving through the first time we came to the festival, and there was a bryce howell who danced as part of the parade or maybe it was during intermission of the greasy pig chase. but the name of the group was vanilla bryce and the funky bunch. is this the same bryce? my kids all loved his moves and would try to imitate them for weeks after the festival. oh those were the days. we have since stopped going to buggy days, but those memories will linger on my mind for the rest of my life
sounds like YOU just smoked a fatty behind giant mart.
somebody tactfully farted and marc just could't hold back the laughs and bryce lets everyone know it was a stinker by his expression. a true politician will let his presence be felt one way or da other.
i remember vanilla bryce and the funky bunch. they did a small tour after their huge success at buggy days. they would all pile in to vanilla bryce's purple passat, which was named "the purple passat funkmobile". they had a huge following but after the melee which would be later called the "barnesville buggy days butt bruiser" incident. they seemed to fall from the side of the earth. no one knew what happened to them. some say bryce himself cracked under the pressure of the helicopter pants, but i think it was bigger. i think he knew that dancing wasnt his calling. he knew he was meant for bigger and better things. to this day i search ticketmaster for a tourdate but am always let down. maybe one day we will see a reunion, but the odds are not in our favor. but just in case, i have my helicopter pants ironed and ready to go.
To the anonymous poster at 3:32, yes that was Bryce performing at the local festival. I recall fondly the time he performed center stage on a beautiful Saturday afternoon back in '93. The crowd gathered with rising anticipation and when he finally arrived, it was like the New Kids had reunited in Barnsville. He started the show with a perfectly executed running man, then he broke it down with the robot, he then incorporated the macarana with the cabbage patch which was ingenious. He was like a hip-hop Baryshnikov. Following this, he was asked to be the feature dancer in M.C. Hammer's video "Pumps and a Bump" but turned his ankle in a terrible rollerblading accident. He went on to do some off-Broadway musicals, such as Sir-Mix-a-Lots "Hip-Hop Hamlet" and Doug E. Fresh's "Henry VIII, A Bad Mo-Fo". He never truly lived up to his potential, but I won't forget that September day.
I don't remember the parachute pants but I do remember the overalls with one buckle unsnapped so it hung down and the Converse hightops. They were cool. I remember another young man being in this group, I do believe his name is Todd Martin, or to those closer to him, "Todd-a-fire." There is a homemade video to go along with this. Good times in B-ville.
Oh to be in possession of that piece of dance history! Footage of a sasquatch giving birth would pale in comparison to such a rare treat! To be able to witness budding dance greatness in combination with an accute fashion sense. One buckle! My god, it screams rebellion! I will not be constrained by my Osh Kosh Begoshes and we will not fall under the opressive thumb of Communism! They hipped and hopped straight through the Berlin Wall and into the history books!
I, also, remember those days.
Why do people feel the need to ridicule someone who is obviously working hard to support their family instead of praising him? If Bryce had on a suit and tie would that make him more of a hard worker? Give me a break!
We will indeed give you a break for not having one shred of humor in your entire body. Personally, I would enjoy seeing him in a suit and tie, he cuts quite the dashing figure. Also, no one here has yet to question his work ethic or his ability to run his business, this is where you are missing "the funny", for those of us who are enjoying posting to this thread (including Bryce) your nonsensical comments and inability to enjoy true comedic prowess are bringing the rest of us down. Please, sit back and perhaps you will absorb the humor that permiates this thread, which in-turn could possibly improve your overall quality of life. Or better yet, join in! Knock Knock jokes are making a comeback.
no, cause he works hard at cutting my meat and freshening my collard greens without so much as a tie on. it would be a little dangerous to cut meat with a tie. lets be realistic here people. and lets see him catch criminals in pennyloafers. bryce is dressed for success
i also also remember those days
Bryce looks like he wants to take Isakson back to the butcher shop and show him his meat.
BRYCE FOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR!
i just wonder if the people making comments about bryce ,are really just a little envious since such a nice looking young man is also very nice,and a hard worker,instead of working hard at drawing a government check?
