Can anyone explain why Opie's new twitter banner is a picture from "Smokey and the Bandit"?

Seen here.

Did he only now realize that in the previous banner he looked like a corpse? And why this movie? Is it related to something they discussed on the show?

I am absolutely obsessed with this. I refuse to believe it's an outright appeal to truckers, and that somehow he fancies himself in on the CB-radio chatter with these guys, sort of like they all just hang on the waves.

No. Nobody can.

big tittied, no good Sumbitch! where's my goddamn diablo sandwich, Vic?!!!

what the hell is a dablo sammich ? I tried looking it up several times, best I got was soemthing like sloppy joe with corn ...

He's a retard.

One more movie i'm sure he's never seen.

Don't you step on any Greggshells. Oh you can think about it, but don't do it.

ME: "Go ahead, make my day!"...eh heh! I LOVE that movie!

It is the 40th anniversary of the movie but so is Star Wars and I doubt he's aware of either.

its the first movie hes watched in 10 years so hes obsessed with it

The show would reference this movie all the time back in the good ol' days. They even had a bunch of clips from it on their soundboards. Also, one of the stars of the movie (Paul Williams) was a popular guest on the show.

Why the fuck would anyone be folling Opie on twitter?
