I just love all of these pictures! I wish I had the picture of me with spaghetti sauce all over my face to share. There are at LEAST two of them, because apparently I couldn't manage to eat correctly as a child!

Gotta have sauce for those NOODS.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, the teenage angst! The hair! IM SO SKINNY.

(me, early 1988 age 16 I guess?)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess so, Ally! Except I think the sauce MISSED the noods and hit the wall instead. Plus, no noods back then. Just a white bowl cut. Maybe I should learn to eat like that again! I bet it's EASY.

You could make a short film.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 11:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't think I would ever make a short film of that. That's just asking for someone to blackmail me! Which I love, but only when reading about it in books written for 13 year old girls where the blackmail involves copying homework or sharing a milkshake with a nerd.

2001, cookie's 23rd birthday?

actually, perhaps it was 2002 and his 24th

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 September 2005 12:57 (eighteen years ago) link

That doesn't count as an 'old' picture! I'm sure all three of you in it look exactly the same now, at least.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 1 September 2005 13:00 (eighteen years ago) link

tuomas posted photos from 2003 and 2004, at the start of the thread!

I think I look very different, now--I have been having an image crisis, for the last 13 hours (I was asleep for 9 of them)

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 September 2005 13:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Well ok, admittedly I haven't really met you, just the other two.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 September 2005 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

You do look v. young there, compared to now.

That's what you wanted to hear, and didn't.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 1 September 2005 15:39 (eighteen years ago) link

RJG, you look like a member of joy division or ACR. which is a good thing.

I wish it were four years or minutes ago

keith, come on, you have ALWAYS LOOKED THE SAME. i imagine you, aged five, with identical hair and clothes.

similarly, i can imagine you aged 70, a bit thinner on top but still undeniably KEITH.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 1 September 2005 20:06 (eighteen years ago) link

this thread kind of makes me sad because Tuomas and Jenny are no longer best friends

Aw no one said anything about skinny little me in my bauhaus tshirt :(

Fingers crossed you have a reasonable sense of humour momus.

you forgot to make fun of his white rolly turtleneck.

(but at least it didn't have printed patterns on it like some of mine did)

Haha OMG Kate =)

I had a "Brett Anderson" before Brett did!

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 2 September 2005 09:12 (eighteen years ago) link

What, a 'non-homosexual' homosexual experience?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 2 September 2005 09:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Brett totally ripped Momus off.

Recently unearthed via 20th high school reunion.... me circa `83/`84...the era of the bad complexion and dubious fashion sense (DEVO t-shirt notwithstanding, of course)

You have a scary resemblance to a cousin of mine in that pic. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of me and her to show you.

The top left one of AlexInNYC's photos looks like a character from a kids' comic strip book.

Also, I really really want superultramega's drum kit.
