I am not in this 1947 photo, but my brother-in-law is (lower left). It is such a cool picture I couldn't resist posting it and this seemed like the best thread for it.

(I was trying to find pictures of my cat when I first got her and fell into a nostalgia hole. Also LOL at my overalls phase.)

fun busters <3

That shirt had a picture of G. Gordon Liddy with a "no circle" on his face! I have no idea what the hell it meant.

Hahaha! That's great.

Got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

(I'm on the left)

It's 1969, baby! #iggypop

Can I ask a stupid question? How the hell do you post an image if you aren't on a website like Flickr?

For images, use: http://www.website.com/yourimage.jpeg

well that didn't work, its under "show formatting help" below

That's not really the question Iago was asking. The answer really is "get a flickr account". Or a photobucket account. Or, I believe, you can link to facebook pictures, but you have to get the permalink.

it's really easy. click on the "upload images" button in the upper-right. takes a few seconds to upload the image, and then you can post it here forevaaa

A+!!!!

thanks everyone, but now that i see sleeve's pic, don't think i can beat that!

That picture is unbeatable, but it would be a shame if nobody else posted anything ITT so I think you should go for it.

aw c'mon Iago!

my pic is like a list of 80's poser-punk fashion "don'ts"

parachute pants: check
attempt at spiky hair: check
sunglasses indoors: check
spiked leather wristband: check
generic brit-punk t-shirt: check
red converse high-tops (not pictured): check
I can't remember what the green button was, probably the band X or something

but hey, I was 17 and wanted to be Richard Hell but didn't have the nerve to actually rip my clothes...

you forgot the classic facial expression

15th birthday, 1991. Oh, tie-dye. I wore that tshirt til it fell off me. (Sidenote: We had just moved into our newly built house, hence the sheet-as-curtain in the background)

will this work

no one is going to say anything about my hilarious shorts?

I thought maybe they were culottes

omg they were hideous awful huge white shorts to go with my gigantic black tshirt
somewhere i have an identical picture only instead of white shorts i was wearing pea green overall shorts
same dumb glasses + face

Problem is, LL, you still look awesome even in goofy '90s clothes. So hilarious shorts somehow become less hilarious.

I dunno, looks p ridiculous to me!

I think the truth content of this thread is that ILXors in general have a talent for somehow straddling the line between looking awesome and looking hilarious.

pic is huge so I will link instead of embedding:

I am 10 years old, standing right next to Jimmy Carter in goofy black shorts

I had no idea you were related!

he's my third cousin, twice removed. it was a very inclusive family "reunion," never seen him or most of those people since

nice!
