New And Improved PICTURE THREAD!

[cyph]

Great logo work, sir!

You sir, are a sharp son of a gun! One day, I hope I can get on your level, I gotta step my dressy-attire game up!

Whoa...

Forreals, if I was a teen in the 70's, you woulda been mine

Let's see what you looked like at 16.

I can't find any photos of myself when I was 16 on file, but the earliest I have in my teens was when I was 18 or freshly 19:

Since we are posting HS photos, here's me from the prom. And yes, this was taken this decade.

 

[Major Chord]

^I like the background. Here's one of mine from this May. I liked this one better than the professional one, honestly.

 

[TheBrew]

That is a nice picture. I like that you guys both wore blue.

Not bad. But you'd have to be dressed in an SF costume to catch my 16-year-old nerd eye.

 

[Niorah]

That is so many degrees of cool, I can't begin to count.

AWESOME!

 

[Holdfast]

Why can't I meet a girl like you!

They lost a lot of pilots at Yavin IV.

Ok, that was a good one.

*bows*

Oh, and Holdfast, I always think you'd make a great Bond Villain based off of your pics.

As long as it's not Nick-Nack, sure.

You do street miles better than I could ever hope to, so it all evens out.

My fingers will be busy tonight as I watch this.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

^ What is it? Scottish porn?

oooho, can I join

cute pic

 

[Major Chord]

^Cute indeed. Looks like some sort of wrestling...porn? Madbaggins would probably get a kick out of that.

Here's a pic from our recent family vacation to Canada. The lodge we stay at has a themed cocktail party every year, this year was 50's theme. Turns out that plaid shirt has come in handy for me more than once...

BABY TOM WAITS!!!

That kid is awesome.

Na, that's Mr "I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... And I'm all out of bubble gum" Rowdy Roddy Piper back in his WWF days. Very cool choice, by the way, KT.

This made my day!

Metro is one of NYC's standard substandard free rags -- not a humor mag or anything, which I occasionally get for the admittedly none-too-challenging crossword puzzles (though they do stump me with a clue or two every once in a while). This answer was completely unexpected, and really made me laugh -- the strongest curse that ever comes up in this puzzle is "egads!"

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Apparently I shouldn't lie to people in the near future because they'll notice.

 

[Ruaidhri]

That's all kinds of awesome! I love crosswords. I'm always helping my reps when they do the crossword in the Toronto version of the Metro, but I didn't have a chance to assist them this week. Wonder if ours was the same.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I should add I had no idea the gerund form of bullocks before. Learn something new every day.

As with a number of words which tend to turn up in crosswords, "all bollixed up" was an expression more commonly in use by my parents' generation (growing up during the Depression & WWII) and as curses go, it wasn't a very strong one -- mild enough, in fact, that my mother never had trouble using it when I was growing up. I think it may even have been part of a recurring exclamation by a popular comic strip character of the time, but I'd have to check on that.
