in order for this particular post to make sense, please allow me to first provide a bit of context.
if you are not familiar with the culture around Ohio State football, you may not recognize the gestures i am trying to capture below.
but, one of the many Buckeye traditions is that sections of the stadium will chant the letters O-H-I-O, while that entire section of the stadium throws up their arms in the shape of that letter.
simple, yet quite effective in person.
as a spin-off, it is common for folks to take pictures with four people/3 people and a conveniently shaped object to make a human O-H-I-O.
see one of our family photos from 2011:
there is an entire page on the OSU website dedicated to this phenomenon.
here is a random one including complete strangers that i enjoy:
anyway.
you get the point.
so. . . when we were at the recent Buckeye Kickoff event in August, and we were practicing our cheers along with 7,000 first-year-students, i was excited to capture benny in the act, as i thought it would be a cute little 4-part-series to use somewhere in the house.
and, cute it very well could have been.
if i had not, apparently, gotten distracted somewhere along the way. . .

and. . . end scene.
apparently, i forgot that there are 4 letters in "Ohio."
i find this particularly amusing, because i JUST came across this image and shared it with a friend today:
anyway.
before someone points out the SUPER obvious. . .
i know that if i really wanted to cheat and repeat the "O," i totally could.

i know that if i really wanted to cheat and repeat the "O," i totally could.
but that would be kind of obvious.
and would further emphasize my awesomeness.

so, instead, i have left myself with a lovely 3-shot series of benny.
saying, "O, Hi."
so, friends. . .
hello.
from benny.
