What did you use to look like? Old photos.

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!

awww! you're related to Teeth! that is so cool!

crut are you a peanut farmer

crut tell me about yr bicycle

I'm not adapting very well to this "seeing acquaintances as children back when I was driving my third car" phenomena.

only 4 1/2 years before my first ILX post

babby crut

"he's my third cousin, twice removed"

Can someone explain the whole "removed" thing to me? I've never understood it. What does it mean?!

only 4 1/2 years before my first ILX post

I seriously am ready for the ice floe.

Take heart in global warming! There won't be any ice.

The old people will be left to bake like sun dried tomatoes.

I had to look pretty hard at crüt's pic to figure out who the black sheep were and I'm still not sure I've pegged them.

I think Billy had passed by then.

Holy crap, crüt!

It's to do with the fact that 'cousins' aren't necessarily from the same generation. It's kind of hard to explain. The wiki chart might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin#Cousin_chart

So cruts and jimmy earl share the same great-great grandparents. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

It's probably easier to picture in that graphic Carter as "me" and cruts as the green block.

Well, that's very complicated but I *think* I get it.

So, for example, my 1st cousin has two kids who I always thought were my second cousins but they're not, they're my 1st cousins once removed?
