Yeah a dork-able and very Charlie Brownish! :) Something is working behind that level stare, though! But where's the jarhead pics?

Ravenne,
Don't tell Kinny he looks the same! He's a frumpy old man! :lol:
But you were cute Ken! Just like the rest of us.
We're all getting old and frumpy and grumpy, but still cute as hell!
Toesy is looking like his dad, Squid is still cute as a bug but with less hair, I'm a fluffy old lush, we're ok with it!

Well, mostly!

Kinny - I'm sorry I couldn't find the picture from high school with the bleach blond hair, purple eyeshadow and the tail, but hopefully these pictures will do for now. I've edited all of my sisters and ex-boyfriends out of these because I don't want to be murdered in my sleep.

1978 - My parent's annual Christmas party. The punch was good. We still make it every year.

1981 - Maybe. Love that Nellie Olsen hairdo. :roll:

1984 - Probably. One of my sister's birthdays.

1989 - I was irritated with the guy I was dating who wouldn't stop taking my picture.

1994 - My sister's wedding. Worst bride's maid dress ever.

1996 - I think. Annette, Kate and Frankie at Disneyland.

Searched for a few pics last night and thought I would share (scare?)
Many outwardly transformations but still the same guy underneath.

  1. Everyone wore Nehru jackets and medallions, right? That's what I thought. I'm 5.
  2. 8th grade graduation shot. The feathered hair era. I'm 14.
  3. Drummer in one of many punk bands - shown is 3 piece power trio named "Know Restraint"
    Riverside, CA. yearbook pic. I'm 17.

    At Tiki Oasis 8 in San Diego last year. I'm 45. My God how time flys by.

Why yes, Greg. Everyone DID...

Are you sure you're not related????

My GOD

Thanks Dave for the healthy laugh this morning I really needed it!

I wish I was related to a personal hero - I could have used his drumming chops at an early age - wait...maybe not (sorry Ringo sorry Keith)

I have never related Buddy Rich to psychedelia so to see that album cover is quite an eye opener for me. One for the scrapbook.

See! I knew I wasn't the only one! I'm in good company so far.

'68 was a f'ckd up year wasn't it?!! At least that's what pop-culture history wants me to believe.

I don't know..I had a great time

Bananabobs-Love that pic of you on the horsie!
What happened to that cute lil cowboy?
:lol:

Benz-you make kinny cry when you don't post any pics of yourself!

TikiG-Nehru and Medallions-cool like Sammy Davis!

that's one Bigazz medallion!
looks like we all know who inspired Flava Flav! :)

Pics from my punk rock/jarhead days....

1984 Hollywood
right before a SUBHUMANS gig
(note the Birthday Party shirt-got it in Okinawa!)

and here's one with my buddy Jim Neal,the man of steel!
around the same time...Note the AUTHENTIC Social D stencil on the trashcan!

Is it not true that fashion peaked in 1973?

Celebrating my Pisces nature on a sunny summer day in Milwaukee. (Excuse the grainy quality- a picture of a copy of a copy)
