Can't post a pic atm. Imagine a handsome, totally fit cyclist who is perfectly formed along the lines of Michaelangelo's "David".

That's not me.

Here I am after a hard ride on one of my vintage bikes. Sometimes after a hard ride I grow a little hair and, if I hold my breath, I turn purple to match the bike.

In all honesty, that looks almost exactly like my older brother, when he was in his late 20s. It is uncanny.

I posted real pictures of myself elsewhere on this forum, I see no reason to set myself up for mockery here. Besides the stupid fake ones here are much funnier.
(Disclaimer: I did not think anyone's real photos here were stupid or funny looking. Except for the Cupid photo. That was funny. Disturbing, but funny.

Everybody had an older brother that looked exactly like that in the 70's/early 80's
