Foo - Old, stale, mug thread

I was inspired by the thread bemoaning people posting cute ancient high school/college pics on dating sites and the new mug thread. Here's my mashup. In the spirit of disclosure, this was taken sometime in 1997 and in the interim, I've grown two additional heads a la King Ghidorah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Ghidorah). The photographer also shot a couple of us tied up with computer mice. Don't ask why, she was a trip.

Oh, bonus points if you post yourself in wicked outdated hair/clothes, shoot for a decade or more.

This is the only picture I have of myself online:

Why do pics from that time seem to have a lot of shots of the turned off tv?

I always expect tv off pics to look something like this...

Maybe because parents in those days made us PLAY, and did not just put a video in to be our baby sitter. Just a thought. ;)

Bah. I was a latchkey kid. Watching Jeopardy reruns made me into the repository of useless knowledge that I am today! *proudly sticking thumb into chest*

Tell me about it. I was graduating college (later than normal college age) in 97.

Class of '97 in the house!

Ahahahaha...I watched a lot of Jeopardy too. Also watched a lot of Crayon Shin Chan, Ranma 1/2, Kato and Ken...suffice to know that my watching those shows probably made me the whacko I am today. :lol:

I was 26 (almost 27) at the time, not the normal 22/23 age for most college grads. That's what happens when you work and do much part time school.

Ah, OG, of the old school. You've got seniority on me, then. ;)

Unforseen circumstances. S**t, though, when I watch Jeopardy today I can still rattle off stuff.

good old days

You need to update that pic (and post it for your fans)... can you still pop a wheelie like that ?

I certainly can, although back then I could do it constantly all day. :lol:

Proof!! Want proof!

Proof!! Want proof!

Yeah--see, lamplight has proven he can still do wheelies. We want proof!

Hmmm...I can post it tomorrow but as you can see that position is a bit hard to take a picture in :P

Where's Snowy when you really need her? :p

I doubt she'd want to take that one either!

Where's Crassic - pretty sure he saw me do that on the train back from Montauk...

dam. I have a funny pic of me as a 1 yr old with my pure white hair - in pink curlers sitting in a crib - but <grits teeth> all that's in storage :(

Is it nekkid? <creepy wide mouthed grin>

You guys all look so cute! :)

:twitchy:

and I thought this thread was gonna be about people that never wash their coffee cups (every office has at least one...)

I was gonna put something about how cute you were, but then I realized I'm still stuck on that word...

Is it nekkid? <creepy wide mouthed grin>

I was the first kid, the first grandkid - and so I was the one who had 90000000000000+ pics taken of - and mostly they were of me sobbing. :rolleyes: I have pics in the babyfat nude, on somebody's lap I don't know with a finger stuck in my mouth sobbing, sobbing in front of Hershey park, PA, sobbing with a plastic pumpkin hanging off my finger ... OY!

But no KT - I was in the diaper. A diaper and pink curlers. It was so much fun to be NUMBER ONE!

Amazing - my hair is like my father's - "towhead" as a kid - pure white hair - could see my head - then it got thicker - terrifically thick hair - (hated it too - funny how people want thicker hair - and other people with THICK hair wish for thinner hair) that went from more of a light strawberry blond to a dirty blond. Kinda wish I had that white hair - would have rivaled Marilyn Monroe's "pillow-case" blond treatment she did!

what a cutie

fixed lol

That was probably around 1987Tennis shoes: Check.
Skinny jeans: Check.
No helmet: Check.
Singlespeed: Check.
Riser bars: Check.
White tires and saddle: Check.
(Probably wearing a white belt, too, and I bet there's something ironic on that shirt.)

You were twenty years ahead of the curve, there, hipster. ;)

fixed lol

thanks :p

2001. but there were several years I thought it was a good idea to pile all my hair on top of my head. drycleaner killed the dress, pretty sure I wouldn't fit in it now anyway... :innocent:

I was probably wearing a Cub Scout belt. :o I generally followed the latest fashion trends, though I prefered to "make it my own" by breaking a couple of rules.

it's still very much in vogue, at least in wasilla.

The oldest pic i got of myself on this here 'puter is one of me 20 years ago rocking a mullet.

http://johnkrawczyk.powweb.com//Mullet.jpg

^^ Right before being sentenced 20 years to life :P

Trim the mullet and you'd look pretty similar to me actually!

*Nice* tube socks!
