I thought Trayce was a lot younger.

This thread is awwwwwwwwesome.

I thought the thread was, what did you used to look like, so I was saying, "here's what I looked like ten years ago." I didn't think there was a time limit. Again, without a scanner, I'm limited.

This is me in 1999 (sorry, I have nothing earlier than that to post)....the guy in the middle is not Ali G, but rather Paul Raven from Killing Joke. The lady on the left is my friend Christina.

Sorry, my eyesight ain't what it used to be, especially when I'm rather drunk.

Looking around to try to figure out where my hands went:

Aha! Found my hands, so here I am opening my first bank account, with the assistance of the bank manager.

First one's too big, but it's only 70K. Probably as cute as I've ever looked.

nickn (nickn), Sunday, 3 April 2005 04:49 (nineteen years ago) link

That's you at 15? You look like you should already have a well-developed 401K.

jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Sunday, 3 April 2005 05:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Yep, 6 feet tall, 180 pounds (or thereabouts), shaving for 2 years. Wish I still had that hair.

nickn (nickn), Sunday, 3 April 2005 05:51 (nineteen years ago) link

At 11, Gravel Puzzleworth looks a bit like E.N., which is a high compliment. Miccio's and CJ's school photos are great. Pleasant Plains looks like he should be in a Wes Anderson film.

This is me in 1996, about six weeks after I shaved my head. I'm not sure what happened to the bald pics of me. After that, I decided to grow my hair out.

And here I am in late 1976 or early 1977, wearing one of my mom's housecoats.

Tuomas, a 401K is a US retirement fund plan in which your income is deducted from your paycheck pre-tax, for long-term investment, and may be withdrawn (taxed) when you're old. Some employers match your contributions (mine doesn't, cheap bastard).

Crease down the trousers, braces and a badly-cut mop, I might revive this look:

i kinda like the short hair, barry!
Thanks, in fact my hair was always short right up until my shave head/grow hair out stage in 1996. It usually looked good when it was short, but my hair is so curly that six weeks after getting a haircut, my hair would turn into a giant 'fro. I got tired of trying to manage the 'fro and/or go for haircuts all the time -- plus I was a swim instructor/lifeguard during those years and the chlorine was MURDER on my hair. So I finally said "fuck this" and shaved my head one night (admittedly, this involved alcohol and many drunken friends, but it *was* something I'd been considering for a long time).

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 19:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Now there's a thread idea, Rock.
