I think you mean what Randy started. (You mean you edited his photo and didn't even notice?)

Well, the guy is Richard Dreyfuss in Spielberg's sci fi classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind after the aliens inspire him to create a model of Devils Tower. I suppose someone of your youth can be forgiven for not being familar with the film (which came out in 1977), but it's considered an iconic movie image.
And I do believe the "crude" was Randy's comment on his own handiwork and the "beers" a reference to the fun he had while making it. 
P.S. If you look closely at Randy's image, the screen on the computer shows the chocolate Madonna up for sale on Ebay.
