I Was on vacation a couple days ago, so my boyfriend and I decided to go into the Ripley's believe it or not museum, where we saw a wax figure of the world's tallest man actual size! And because I'm g/t trash, I had to document this moment. (Also don't mine my voice, my boyfriend was asking me a question while I was recording)

Thanks, we’ll see you on the stands!”

#robert wadlow #robert wadlow trash #harold carried on his legacy! :') #i'm sure senpai would be very proud! :) #fun fact: the store he opens in my latest sib story is based on this one! ;) #in his time it was beardslee and ross hardware and feed #and the store was last used as a pet groomer in 2013 (which he'd also like!) #the store was last seen in an april '44 newspaper so i just put mid-44 for the closing date #harold was running for mayor by then! ;) #i hope the rest of the fam pitched in to make it a success! ;D

[britishchick09]
