Ask Ned Raggett, he might know

Some psychic depths are best left unplumbed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:12 (twenty years ago)

There's a restaurant called "Hooters" in the US? Christ! Has anyone complained about it?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:12 (twenty years ago)

I don't think this is a dorm room. Note the window unit and non-dorm room style furniture. Def. think this dude lives with his mom.

Certainly not comprehensive, Ian, but more than a Finn.

No. Never.

You guys realize Tuomas is jerking your chains, right?

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:13 (twenty years ago)

Oh good point, Sam. Yeah, that dresser is def. not dorm room material.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, people have complained about Hooters.

Hooters has their own airline, believe or not. You can go on a flight somewhere and the flight attendents are Hooters girls and they serve Hooters food.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Ally, I forget every once in a while, but I do maintain that Tuomas left ILX a few months ago and that "lixnixn" is a parody-Tuomas.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:15 (twenty years ago)

"Hey Kevin, why don't you take your cousins upstairs, maybe you guys can play Nintendo or something? And I got you some beers too!"
"Yeah mom, whatever"

But unfortunately, the Hooters girls won't use the bathroom with the door open.

Sam's right, by the way. The curtain above the window definitely makes it not a dorm room.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:16 (twenty years ago)

What makes a "Hooters girl"? Do they have to have big tits or something?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:16 (twenty years ago)

xpost to what sam said. the air-conditioner is the dead giveaway that this isn't a dorm (i.e., we weren't allowed to have 'em where i went to college).

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

I think it is not a house with parents. Possibly off-campus apartment, or recently-graduated.

But then why would they be in his ROOM? Why not playing beer pong or flip cup or some such beer game?

So many questions...I doubt I shall sleep this evening...

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

xpost -- fucking hooters airline doesn't fly to allentown from newark so i can't get to shows at jeff the pigeon.

CSI: ILX

According to the EXIF/xpacket data in the JPEG the image was taken on

2004:11:23 15:28:59

and

it wasn't actually taken... it was scanned by:

Noritsu SI-1080 Film Scanner Model DLS1640

It was cropped this January in adobe ps cs2.

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Ha, I didn't realize that there was a fake Tuomas.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:18 (twenty years ago)

It was taken at 3.30 in the afternoon? That's interesting...

xpost to what sam said. the air-conditioner is the dead giveaway that this isn't a dorm (i.e., we weren't allowed to have 'em where i went to college).

Never stopped a lot of people! I have no idea how some didn't get caught....

but you're more than likely right. Also the dresser and bed don't look like dorm issue.

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:19 (twenty years ago)

... oh right, it was scanned at 3.30

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Why should I be jerking your chains? I just find the idea of a restaurant called "Hooters" kinda weird (especially if it's really a restaurant and not a strip joint), since no one could pull it off here.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

I'm guessing it's guy at parent's house, guy's underage sister or cousin, and orange girl on the end is really "hawt" friend that he begged relative to bring over to "chill, you know, drink some beers" at some point.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Right, so who took the photo then? Any guesses?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

Because there's obviously 4 people in the room (and maybe more)

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:22 (twenty years ago)

THERE'S ONE UNDER THE BED!!

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:22 (twenty years ago)

Wait, no, sorry.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

you can sorta see the athlete girl's tit

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

No way, I never noticed that

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

The DVD cases on right are from Blockbuster right?

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

You can indeed. I broke it down enough earlier that I left that one to be discovered, but I did pick up on the side-boob earlier.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

Tuomas I am almost 100% certain you've asked questions about Hooters before.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:25 (twenty years ago)

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!

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:26 (twenty years ago)

That's clearly 2004.

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:27 (twenty years ago)

maybe hooters-dude met yer sister @ hooters, ally!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:27 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:28 (twenty years ago)

It actually looks like GTA: San Andreas, which would put this photo within the last two years!

Anyone else have any ideas on the DVD/game stack on the right? The Miller Lite cans look like the ones I had last weekend, so they're of no help.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Also...look at purses. Any help there? Current models of purses, anyone?

I am WAY too into this. I loved these kind of games in elementary school.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:29 (twenty years ago)

check THIS shit out --> hooters dude, 1991 version

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Jena (JenaP), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

I know what you mean, BLMA.

Here's what I'm currently pondering: that thing in between the two top drawers of his dresser -- is that a PINK BOW?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:31 (twenty years ago)

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.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:32 (twenty years ago)

it's vice city. dorm still seems very possible, room seems a bit spacy though. spreadlegs either lives in the same dorm, apartment complext (slight chance street), goes to same local convenience store to buy papers, miller lite.

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

i dunno why people are assuming that dude even WENT to college.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

No earlier than 11/2004 guys. DIDN'T YOU SEE MY EXIF INFOZ?

Also, the timestamp is in GMT-500 which in november is Eastern Standard Time.

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

Vice city? Sure? I am at work or would check my GTA boxes. That opens it up to like four years ago. Crap.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

How about the stack of books on the dresser. They look like math and science books.

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

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.

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)

And yeah...that stack of books looks mighty high school-ish. Hm. The mysteries multiply.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)

The text books/ notebooks on the dresser surely suggest a college student?
