Would prefer a classic-style Norm⦠no fuzzy costume needed. Just find some bearded hillbilly with school spirit and give him a pickaxe and fake shotgun and let him run loose.
I am not one to embrace change, but if Norm looks like the guy on the poster I think I can adjust. He looks like he could kick your butt, eat your lunch, and sleep with your wife any times he wants.
Norm didnāt lose his facial hair. Look at the video. Also, perhaps a bit of a hint:
Lew**: Norm without a beard is not Norm. This is terrible.
