Baldwin, rather.

Or do you mean the guy on the extreme left? That's probably Jerry Only, when he was just beginning to grow his Devilock (TM).

I thought it might be a Baldwin

Doesn't make me happy and it's not a complete surprise that they're photographed together, but Gov. Bill Clinton and Vice-President George Bush hanging out circa. 1986.

Throw in some old Mountain Dew cans and Gov. George Wallace though, and now you've really got a backyard picnic swinging there.

T why do you click on this thread if you are not a truoll
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:09 (ten years ago) link
Because I found these sort of photos interesting! And I wouldn't need to ask if people would who post pics would add some captions to them.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:12 (ten years ago) link
'need' vs 'everybody do this for me or I'll continuously troll'
imo
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:19 (ten years ago) link
Several people in this thread (not just me) have repeatedly asked that folks posting pics would add captions to them, yet they keep ignoring that. So I don't feel like I'm trolling rather than reminding these ignorers of their duty as posters.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:30 (ten years ago) link
idk man, lol I guess.
― james lipton and his francs (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:45 (ten years ago) link
D why do you click on this thread if you do not want to read Tuomas asking who features in uncaptioned pictures?
― Tim, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 11:49 (ten years ago) link
That's actually why I click ott tbh

I don't post the captions often because most of the time, there aren't any accompanying them. That WMJ pic came off of Jimmy Fallon's twitter.
Part of the fun is guessing who everyone is, imo. And I'll say it again, do a reverse image search if you really want to find out the answer.

I don't post the captions often because most of the time, there aren't any accompanying them.
What I meant by "captions" is that person who posts the pic should write the names in the same post, even if the pic has no official caption. Presumably that poster knows who's in the pic, because why would he otherwise post it here?
And I'll say it again, do a reverse image search if you really want to find out the answer.
For the arguments sake, I did a reverse image search on the pic you posted, and got 0 results. Also, if the reverse search just leads you to some Twitter post where the people in the pic aren't named, that doesn't help in identifying them.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 08:37 (ten years ago) link
There were eight people in that picture. If you recognize them all, cool! If not, look 'em up yourself!
I had no idea who Sting's wife was until someone else identified her. You're right about it being so new it wasn't on GIS yet, but hell, blame Jimmy Fallon, not me.
(Jimmy Fallon is an American comedian who began hosting NBC's "The Tonight Show" recently.)
― pplains, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 13:48 (ten years ago) link
In these circumstances it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask you to identify which famous people being together makes you happy, in particular.
But then I only click on this thread to see people arguing about the whys and wherefores of captioning photos which make them happy.
― Tim, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 14:11 (ten years ago) link
I like to guess, so please don't identify anyone.
― pplains, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 14:16 (ten years ago) link
Someone argued upthread that saying who the people are takes away the whole point of the thread. If you recognize them then the photo has interest for you, if you don't then it hasn't.
― goth colouring book (anagram), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 14:23 (ten years ago) link
takes away the whole point of the thread.
that explains the first two posts, then
― Gritty Shakur (sic), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 14:26 (ten years ago) link
But someone might know the name of someone, be interested in them, but not know what they look like. Doesn't stack up to me. I'm pro-caption.
