maybe the picture shows it the wrong way and the guy's actually very funny/goofy talking a lot and doing silly things that make the girls laugh and he's just striking a pose for the picutre. or not.

Can we discuss the body language here for a sec?

Dude - somewhat self-concious. Sitting at the end of the bed. Not turned towards the girls at all.

Middle chick - obv. not uncomfortable. Legs open in comfortable sitting stance - prolly familiar with knocking back a few Millers. Prolly an athlete - sitting position and less-high maintenance hair style the tip-off. Could be down for some Mario Kart.

End chick - keeping athlete chick in-between her and the Griz. Legs crossed and she's leaned over in a classic closed position. Hair clip on wrist says she may be down for dancing later on, but cam dressed to impress. She does not seem impressed by his multi-generational collection of Nintendo games - Original NES, Nintento 64, and Super Nintendo, all in the hizzy.

my guess is the person taking the picture is a guy, friend of "me i'm cool sitting here driking beer striking an awesome i d'ont care about chix and am not nervous at all pose" who is cooler (a bit) and is the only one talking to the girls.

they're probably like temporary friends, y'know how that works in college. you hang with someone for like three weeks, then don't, then never see them around. no big deal.

It looks like Grand Theft Auto, Madden (of some unidentified year) and at least Spiderman the DVD. None bear the rental spine stickers, so I'm guessing owned, not rented.

If we could date the Madden, we might have a chance here, people!

Possibly off-campus apartment, or recently-graduated.

But then why would they be in his ROOM?

He's probably the first guy who ever said "Would you like to come up to see some of my etchings?" and meant it!

I second the off-campus living. Mom would never allow this.

I think this is most definitely a dorm room, and whoever suggested the first-week awkward meeting random people scenario is probably right. My dorm in Tennessee had air-conditioners just like that, and it dressers like that, and probably nicer were not uncommon, especially in places like language houses, or even nicer dorms. The person who took the picture is probably the dude's room-mate, and they're all there to smoke a bowl.

Well, those cropped corduroy jackets were popular for the last two years, so I would say it puts it in that timeframe. The purse in front looks like a knock-off Coach. Not even good enough to have fake logos on it.

― Jena (JenaP), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I am pretty sure it isn't a dorm:

1) A/C
2) Beds in dorms not usually metal frame type like that
3) Styling on dresser
4) Carpeting
5) VENETIAN BLINDS. Dorms usually have pull blinds.

Yeah, hmmm: if it was Wayne's bed, would he be sitting where he's sitting? Wouldn't he sit more toward the head of the bed and let the guests sit toward the foot? I don't know why I think this, except there's sort of a protective instinct that would dictate that positioning.

yes, if it was his place why would he have the whole twenty pack so close at hand. wouldn't it be in a fridge?

My theory: It's the room in the apartment where the video games live (def. not a dorm, because a dorm wouldn't have a duct-taped AC, because of insurance and stuff). Athlete-girl's boyfriend lives there, which is why she's more comfortable, and he's currently out of the shot playing video games with another out-of-shot person. Limited seating means non-players have to sit on the bed. Note that Hooters-guy could very easily be looking at the TV, not at the girls. The girls have no interest in the game, and are anxious for it to end so they can smoke another bowl and go on to the party in some other apartment's basement.

I had to de-lurk for this, because it brought back the college memories.

So, let's see:

It was raining outside. Chix are not the residents here, and Wayne may or may not be. He appears to be watching the television. Taken in college setting, but prolly not in a dorm - a shared apartment in a college town.

A new one - since neither Wayne nor Kelly are paying attention to the camera, but Krissy is, it tells me she was there to see someone behind the camera - either taking or actually just not in range of the shot. Either way, it appears no "Say Cheese!" was uttered. Or Wayne and Kelly already smoked a bowl.

It must've been a magical moment when those two girls stepped gingerly into that bedroom, looked around, and sat down with a "oh, what the hell" kind of attitude. Sportgirl probably just dropped her purse to the ground with a *thump* before kicking back.

Wayne nervously set down the case of beer before sitting down in a position that would give the girls plenty of space while at the same time, not make it appear that he was actually somewhat intimidated by them.

Someone off-camera starts playing a video game before girl at the head of the bed turns her head, smiles, and says, "Hey, Wayne. Would it be okay if I had one of your beers?" Sportsgirl says, "Yeah, me too, if you don't mind. I'll pay you back."

Wayne can't believe his fortune in making a connection with these two. As politely as possible, he hands each a beer saying, "Oh, no problem. There's enough here for everyone!"

Okay, here's my theory: the guy's is living in a shared flat, and the girls know his flatmate. There's maybe a party going, or maybe the girls are just visiting there, but the they're definitely more interested in his flatmate. Anyway, at some point the guy is like, "I have a case of beer in my room, why don't we go there, I can show you my games and stuff...". The girls are like, free beer yay, but they say to the flatmate, "Why don't you come with us?". So all four go there, the flatmate taking his camera with him. As for the photo itself, if you look at the guy's eyes really carefully, he's actually staring at girls, thinking "Two hot girls on my bed, I can't believe this is happening!", which explains why he isn't looking at the camera.

kelly is stepping on that blue bag, i'd think this means she's pretty comfortable - she must be the link between orange girl and wayne.

Flash coming off her nail polish? If the beer can doesn't produce a bright flash, why would a tiny fingernail?

The goal of this website is to make it easier for us to keep in touch with Diehl, keeping him informed of what happens at home along with keeping everyone at home up to date with what he has been up to.

dear ryan,

today i mailed your lindsay lohan cd for bill because he is too much of a slacker to ever wake up before 3 o clock. I also mailed you a hot ass birthday card and your brother happened to be at the post office so he signed it too! what an eventful talk to you later buddy.

having only participated in the begining before leaving the office and just discovered all that happened in the meantime, i have to say it's been the greatest thread ever !
i dunno if we can find the magic again though... maybe we should shut ilx now !

YA RLY

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

"1p3"?

I started feeling some regrets about participating in this thread and the morality of it all, it's a different thing if Wayne himself would've put the pics online (thus accepting the fact random strangers may comment upon them), but he doesn't necessarily even know they're there. What would you suppose he'd really think if he'd find this thread? Thankfully there are some nice thoughts here as well.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:38 (seventeen years ago) link

this thread hasn't been a pure moment of magic, joy and communion to you ?
i feel sadness and empathy for you jaded ilxor...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean, Internet is still such a new thing (to me at least) that the sort of ethical guidelines I have with normal everyday interaction feel muddled here. I wouldn't make nasty comments about a random stranger on the street, why is it okay here? I dunno, someone help me out.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:40 (seventeen years ago) link

What would you suppose he'd really think if he'd find this thread? Thankfully there are some nice thoughts here as well.

well, first, the friends of Diehl don't even know Wayne so the chances of him finding the thread are very thin. and then, our thoughts about him have evolved a lot along the thread and he comes off as a fairly nice guy compared to the others, no ?

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I wouldn't make nasty comments about a random stranger on the street, why is it okay here?

ah, maybe that's where you differ from all the people here ?
that said, it's true that it was more harmless (and arguably, more fun) when we had no idea about these people. when they weren't "real".

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think morality works that way that everything's okay if "he doesn't find out" - we should have certain principles whether or not anyone finds out we've broken them. And even if Wayne comes out as a nice guy compared to the others, why is it okay to criticize them, then? What do we know about these people.

(Don't take these comments too seriously, I'm sorta playing the devil's advocate here, but I think in general these are interesting and important issues.)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i know they know about the thread, i meant they don't know wayne !
and Tuomas, i didn't say it was ok because they wouldn't find out, but that it was when more fun (and ok) when they weren't "real" people, we knew nothing about them and we were just bitching randomly.
(and besides, sometimes we are just mean, i guess !).

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 12:58 (seventeen years ago) link

This could very well be the only thread like this ever.

Now we know that the subjects of our presumed anonymous pictures can be found and find out about us, we're never going to be as spontaneous about this kind of thing ever again.

i agree. there has to be some sort of end to it, closure if you will. we cant go on endlessly speculating, even if that was the most fun. we'd sort of gotten to the end of the line given what was revealed in the original picture.

i love how on that other message board they call him wayne too.

Did anyone ever note that the bottom of Wayne's left pant leg is wet?

Dude finally got back to me about how he found it on google:

Re: IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN DUDE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hahahah original caption is:
Awkward moment after an imaginary threesome.

Do a google image search for the word "awkward". You'll find the original pic about halfway down the page.

Then check out the page it comes from. It's called Diehl-in-Iraq. Apparently this party was one for a kid who is now in Iraq.

There is a folder by a girl, forget her name, and these pics come from her folder. There are several.

You're welcome.

Er, no. I think laughing at random people because of their appearance is rather nasty, I didn't know it was a common type of behaviour or anything.

it's not just laughing at their appearance, it's the whole art of people watching. it's laughing at what you speculate is their entire motivation and raison d'être!

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Could someone summarise what exactly is known about "Wayne"? Even after wading through 600 odd posts he remains a tantalising mystery to me, a far more opaque character than Diehl. Do we know his real name? What his relationship to Diehl is? Any other concrete information?

― Sarah B, Wednesday, 1 February 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

We don't! That's why I was surprised that people were so quick to close the book on this thread.

Although I could be asking the very same questions about YOU, mystery ILXor (I've surmised that you're British because of "summarise" -- what else do we know about Sarah B?)...

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm afraid I shall remain forever a mystery to you, jaymc.

― Sarah B., Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Bill was another guy. I still think that Wayne's real name is Tommy Loftus.

hm.

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought we surmised his real name was Bill

I think the Bill thing came from the fact that one of the photos with him not in it was captioned "Where the hell is Bill?" or something, but it's not 100% positive that he's the Bill missing from the pic.

― AaronK (AaronK), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

There was a myspace link up there where a friend of Diehl's made mention of The Syrup Kid, Tommy Loftus. Maybe they've got more than one Loftus in their pack. It is Pennsylvania after all.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, good work, PP.

The comment is from Tommy Turnbull (who in another post compliments a roast-beef sandwich that Glen made for him, which on the wrapper was scrawled "Tommy T - No Tax"):

The Syrup Kid, glen, was none other than the shadeball Tommy Loftus. Well we should set somethin up this summer where we get some old friends and party it up. Rock on \W/

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

But how do you know this Tommy Loftus is Wayne?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 18:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Because some of the filenames in the Diehl in Iraq photo album identified him as "loftus" -- for example "andy_loftus.jpg." (Andy being the other person in the photo.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:03 (seventeen years ago) link

There are five Loftuses in Drexel Hill, PA, on whitepages.com, including one Tom and another Thomas Jr.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Because he's referred to as "Loftus" in the galleries. The only lead we've got that his first name is Tommy comes from what jaymc just posted.

those girls are there to smoke a bowl before going to a party or something. they're at that house because the guy taking the picture has pot, maybe even sells it, and he lives in a house where such things don't matter much. the girl on the left is an athlete, but was certainly more of one a few years back; now, since she spent so much time on sports, most of her old - now popular - friends have moved on and she's left to a racier crowd: a crowd that will drink and smoke in not-so-flashy places. 'hooters' is the younger brother of this guy with pot who was more than eager to come in the room because it's rare he can be around such people, but his hopes have sort of sizzled out at this point -- he's not feeling as suave.

sadly, for both the men, the girls will soon be gone with a shaky excuse.

― Peter Densmore (pbnmyj), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I really don't think its tommy loftus or tommy anything, based on the fact that Ryan already said he didn't know who the two beer queer was. Also in every picture he appears in everybody else is looking at/acting towards him like it's the first time they've met him. Guessing one of Ryan's friends brought this guy along to the party.

Also, key to Wayne's body language in the first pic is actually clearly: "I want to fire up that SNES so bad but I can't cause it would be weird"
knee grip expresses desire for a controller, not sublimated lust.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, and the picture was taken because the older brother was feeling a bit insecure about his company and their impresions of him and needed to do something to look engaged and purposeful... i hate to think that he might also be inadvertently making a joke of his brother -- something he'll realize after the girls leave and regret.

How literally are we taking this statement, though? Maybe it's like if you did something stupid and then I gestured with my thumb toward you and asked the rest of the room, "Who's this clown?"

Loftus is clearly a guy they know but isn't in their tight-knit group of friends.

okay check it out. The guy in the middle of this picture: http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/albums/Diehls-Party/whatsandythinking.sized.jpg
is andy loftus. The body language by Andy in this picture: http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/Diehls-Party/andy_loftus
is the only picture in the entire canon in which anybody's body language says anything positive or intimate about Wayne. Also, Andy's somewhat goonie-looking, like Wayne. I'm guessing Andy's a classic man of two worlds; the geeks and the nihilistic assholes (the latter probably via being on the track team with Ryan or something, doesn't matter). He knows Wayne from, like, his job at Burger King or something and he dragged him along to this party.

It's striking that after some 700 posts that have elicited stacks of information about Diehl and his friends, we still know literally nothing about Wayne, except that his name might possibly be Loftus.

Diehl comes across as a bit of two-dimensional jerk, albeit one with a certain jock-type charisma that attracts some girls. If he wanted to, Diehl could probably set up a threesome with the two girls. Wayne is painfully lacking in any charsima, jock-type or otherwise. He seems so different from Diehl that I'm guessing they're not friends, but that someone else invited Wayne to the party, as suggested up-thread.

I'm also guessing that Wayne is a bit more of an interesting character than Diehl and co. He's not shown in his best light at the Diehl party, because he's a fish out of water, feeling awkward and uncomfortable. He looks like a total loser but he's just more of a quiet, introspective type. The evidence for the prosecution is of course the Hooters t-shirt. But that could be a)not reflecting his real character but an attempt to ingratiate himself into the redneck culture in which he finds himself, or b)he might have a weekend kitchen job at Hooters. Unlike Diehl, Wayne hasn't gone straight from school into the army. He's probably studying at a nearby college. I think he might even have a girlfriend, although she's going to be a bit plainer and weightier than the two girls in the source photo.

And, back in 1981 (different bedroom/different t-shirt (probably iron Maiden) but same sitting on the bed feeling totally out of it) I WAS Wayne (Tommy), and it all turned out good in the end.

I don't think we're going to get any closer to discovering anything about Wayne by examining the minutiae of the Diehl world. Wayne is clearly not a part of that scene, or only very peripherally. The "two-beer queer" comment underlines the point.

Wayne looks like Diehl's inferior, since Diehl is this tall, rangy guy who clearly appeals to the women of his entourage. Diehl is basically a smalltown jock. But Diehl's education stopped at high school, and since coming back cashed-up from Iraq, he's been unemployed and, judging from his myspace profile, in no hurry to get a job either ("I dont like to work so I dont"). His prospects aren't really too great. His best friend Tommy Turnball also never went to college and works as a labourer. Turnball describes his life thusly: "I usually just do the same shit every day, work, drink, sleep, repeat." As for intellectual stimulus, he boasts that "I have actually read a book I didn't have to: Black Hawk Down." We're talking about guys with very narrow horizons here. And Diehl's tour of duty in Iraq probably only narrowed his further. He'll probably never escape his home town and will end up in some dead-end job, still drinking with his pal Tommy and mooning for the camera.

Wayne, on the other hand, looks like a college kid to me. He's doing computer studies or something. He may not look too great now, but in ten years' time, he's going to be doing a lot better than Diehl.

― lupine luck, Thursday, 2 February 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

come on guys, wayne is not introspective and quiet. he is clearly the loud-in-an-obnoxious-not-funny-way guy who thinks he's a bit of a party animal.

evidence.
http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/albums/Diehls-Party/awkward.sized.jpg
probably just made some blokeish comments "i like me hooters i do" or "fancy a threesome laaadies?" and the girls turn away in disgust, see the way laurel did a "Tim from The Office"'s face, like when keith the accountant bloke talks about giving girls orgasms.

Unlike Diehl, Wayne hasn't gone straight from school into the army. He's probably studying at a nearby college.

Several of Diehl's friends are studying at Delaware County Community College right now (which is how they met Jenna and Danielle and Ashlee, who are a couple years younger and not graduates of Upper Darby Senior High School) -- so this wouldn't be atypical.

Your reading of those photos is a little harsh, Ken. I read him as pretty shy and awkward in the infamous three-on-the-bed shot. As for the one where he's got two beers, obviously he's gallantly offered to get up and get one of the girls a beer.

This photo brings out the Wayne's vulnerability. Come on, he doesn't look boorish at all here:

At this point, I actually do find myself interested in Diehl's world in all of its pretty vapidity. Apart from the Slayer shirt that the guy with Laurel (whom I still can't ID) is wearing, I never would've guessed that all of these guys seem to be into metal first and foremost. (Their girlfriends and other female friends they associate with mostly listen to Top 40.)

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Thursday, 2 February 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

No, no its not.

Stalkerdom is when you enter into someone else's world uninvited. Like if killy were to actually go and show this picture - or any of the related others - to someone at the KOP Hooters or West Chester to see if we could get some more info.

As it is, any of the info we've gathered has simply been by taking advantage of the information THEY posted in the PUBLIC domain about themselves. We've just had a bit more fun than usual b/c we have nothing better to do during the day.

I find nothing inherently wrong about this. I find it quite amusing.

i knew a guy just like him, who's from Greenback, Tennessee
i met him at a cafe, it was a gig in old city
he didn't like his hometown, where every crack's a ho.
but he is stuck there in greenback, cos there's nowhere else to go.

he was once in love with a girl, it was her sweet 13
her papa offered him cash to leave, so he'd never be seen
our hero took the money, and had these words to tell
"well ah'm taking yaah money, but ah'm taking yaah girl as well!"

the story somehow turned, into something about his hand
as was talking his hand would suddenly extend
over the face of this girl, who was terrified to bits
to this date i still don't know the reason for any of it

as he was telling the story, a man had chipped his tooth
when our hero saw this, he had his shirt removed
revealing on his belly, as smooth and bright as the moon
"well i've been injured as well, here's a gunshot wound!"

as for the threesome, you might be on something here... but on the other hand, she shows some jealousy ("only in her dreams cause ur my man") so that doesn't fit too well with a threesome.

First and foremost: older brother music dominates. But, since we are where we are, older bro is not turning you on to obscure 90s indie or whatever, he is turning you on to what "Wolfy," his older buddy, turned HIM onto when he was in 9th grade. Which means that you're getting this weird trickle down effect that ensure that bands that were big in the early 90s are STILL popular and canonical today.

Also: Sublime. How could I forget?!?!

(She went back there while Diehl was in Iraq and said "it wasn't the same" there without him). She moved out of home and shared an apartment with Laurel for a while (her mother had "didn't want her around" anymore. As for Laurel we at least know she used to live with Megan. (And that she might have been involved in a threeway with Megan and Diehl.) But as for Wayne, WE KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, EVEN AFTER 800 POSTS OF MUSING.

Diehl could have hooked up with Megan when they were both working at McDonalds, and Laurel's connection with Diehl is through Megan. There's no reason to assume they were all at highschool together.

ears, nose, eyes and facial hair are very similar. the spaciness in the eyes especially made me think it's wayne. and they're at the local drinking place that laurel talked about. but the hair loss and the eyebrows (seem fuller and better groomed in the first picture) make me doubt it. could be wayne's older brother?

what IS wayne doing with two beers in this? http://diehliniraq.com/v-web/gallery/Diehls-Party/andy_loftus

Oh man - I saw this maneuver executed so many times an boston area high school parties circa 1992ish. It's has both pragmatic and symbolic value. Generally attempted at large parties, it says: I've got two so i won't have to go back to the stash too soon, aren't I clever - and I AM SO READY TO PARTY THAT I HAVE TWO BEERS!

Wayne would drink the top one while holding them both in one hand. When he discards the empty from the top, the other one is ready to take it's place.

I've never seen this technique employed at such a small gathering (where it would be so easy to get another beer). I'd say it's Wayne's way of signifying his party guy status.

This would seem to put the Wayne as shy-guy theory to rest - unless he's just aping the habits of his more socially successful peers in an attempt to fit in at this event in which he is clearly an outsider.

two weeks pass...

so i did a google search for this thread and in the top left corner of the results page, above the results is something about citations next to an image of a scroll (rolled up piece of paper w/ a band around it). next to the scroll is:

- by Resnick - 41 citations
- by Siegel - 14 citations
- by Morris - 20 citations

has this happened w/ anyone else's google searches? so far it's only happened on this one, and none of the other things i've googled today.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 20:15 (seventeen years ago) link

the scroll image,

is named scholar-onebox.gif, so perhaps you're right, jaymc. the odd thing is that neither the citation list or image links to anything.

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

It happened to me. Here's the first search result:

Tieteelliset artikkelit haulle so not gonna happen
Reasoning in Conversation - by Resnick - 41 citations
The Motives of Gay Men for Taking or Not Taking the HIV ... - by Siegel - 14 citations
Vote. com - by Morris - 20 citations

"Tieteelliset artikkelit haulle..." = Finnish for "scientific articles for search...".

He's a pretty big sized cog in this mechanism.

I dont really think he's in touch with wayne either. But that photo at the bar gives me hope. Definatley post-iraq, definatley Ryan AND Wayne at same gathering.

Hey Roxy, the one thing that's bugging me after reading this whole thread is this:

Is your friend who sent you the original picture the guy with the DMusic account? And he found the original one hosted on diehliniraq.com? That DMusic page was a major red herring, but obviously essential to the thread's drama build-up/magic/best-evah-ness.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 29 September 2006 08:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Maybe wayne is bored of being left at peace, Tuomas. Every night he attends a different a party, trying to break out, drinking two beers with two ladies in bed, hanging out with the rugby lads.

Yet, every time, when the enthusiasm dies, only disappointment remains, he's left at peace again, there will be the awkwardness, there will be the cigarette hand covering his face, try as he may to break out, to push with his fatty right palm, there's always a muscular arms with rawk \m/ hand pushing him down.

If you ask me, doing something like that is not showing mercy, do you know the pain of living without a dream? Knowing you're not needed by anyone?

Oh fuck it, do you SEE the blue eyeshadow on the girl on the far right? And the salon-set prom hair? Those girls are about as Jersey Italian as it gets, in the worst subcultural sense.

bbbbut the eyeshadow matches her dress!!!

i think grady has something with the 'this needs to go public' idea. too bad diehliniraq no longer lives.

Some people's beauty standards really ARE astounding.

― Spinspin Sugah, Sunday, 9 September 2007 22:24 (fifteen years ago) link

The girl on the right has some kind of mini black hole somewhere around the bridge of her nose which is sucking all her facial features in towards it.

― Mark C, Sunday, 9 September 2007 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link

Grady, you pimp.

She has also switched from a can to a pint glass. It looks like her beverage is kinda murky and brown. What's she drinking?

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Sunday, 9 September 2007 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link

we have come full circle.

also, she has removed her jacket.

― stevie, Sunday, 9 September 2007 23:24 (fifteen years ago) link

Do you guys not think she is probably Patty? Or has that already been discussed?

The guy in the middle is Mr. Hooters-T.

― libcrypt, Monday, 10 September 2007 02:36 (fifteen years ago) link

I like to think that Hooters-tee guy ended up dismembered in the trash bag beside the bed.

She had made a comment on Diehl's myspace, and I thought it looked a bit like the chick on the right in the original photo so I added her on myspace and waited for her to add me back.

Am I naive, but who the fuck thinks that such a look is attractive? Can't they count the sniggers which must outweigh the amount of "OMG HEZ A COOTIE! TEEHEEE" writings on the toilet door?

What...

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THAT GUY'S SKIN?

― en i see kay, Monday, 10 September 2007 08:15 (fifteen years ago) link

I would hope, in a way, it's a skin disease so his parents realize he's not the idiot he really is.

Does that make sense?

But then what about the hair? Permanently frozen due to shock?

― nathalie, Monday, 10 September 2007 08:17 (fifteen years ago) link

i've seen dudes with hair like that -- i would, since i live in northern new jersey & the NY metro area is, like, ground-zero for that kinda shit.

i've NEVER seen that kind of oompa-loompaish orange skin, not on a young guy anyway -- i've seen some older women who look almost that orangeish, though.

― Eisbaer, Monday, 10 September 2007 08:28 (fifteen years ago) link

In Japan it wasn't that uncommon for a while. It was almost that orange, but not quite. Still looked quite daft.

― nathalie, Monday, 10 September 2007 08:38 (fifteen years ago) link

besides oompa-loompas, mr. lobster-skin also looks like this fellow:

I wonder if Mr Pink laughs at the guy on the right for being so pale.

Dear Jesus,

Please never ever let this thread die.

Why, have studies linked tan-in-a-can to melanoma?

Where is that Eisbaer? It can ONLY be North Jersey or Long Island (or maybe Staten Island?)
