oh....you aways looked like that?
i'm so so sorry....

So, Kinny . . . where the heck is YOUR "before" picture? HUH???? I got a crazy email today with befores and afters of a bunch of celebs. Time waits for no man, or woman, either.

I couldn't help it!

& Kinny as a kid?

:lol:

Cammo and i went to school together in our youth.
We went to the School for Special Magical Boys...
Kinda like an X-men school
but for those less fortunate...

Thanks for the OUTing,Ravers and Kiki!
I was having fun just being a spectator...
:lol:

Bring em on!

I'll try to find some Marine Corps era pix
when i was lean and svelte and streamlined...

i would also like to say how much Tipsy as a boy
looks like Bora-Boris...

hey man, Kiki did nuffin, she only asked a wee question, so leave her alone.

I outted ya.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

:: (heh) these are great pix from everyone, so it's time to throw mine in for kix...

• (circa 1979) w/ my lil' sis (noelani): sold about $200 worth of butter-toffee-peanuts to get to YMCA-camp that summer + got my 1st smooch from a Y-counselor-wahine (ate tons o' Jolly Rancher Fire-Stix, never Orange ChapStick like the others)...

• (circa 2008) kickin' it in Kona w/ my wife-wahine (Java Loa): visited some special tikis & honu amidst the clear-blue waters of Hawai'i...

(Does Jolly Rancher make a Mai-Tai-Stix?!?)

Hey! That's the dude that won the Don the BeachComber's look-Alike Contest!

Happy Birthday,by the way!

and thanks for sharing!

How come we were all cuter as little kids?
We could all utilize that cuteness a lot mo' better at our current ages...

:lol:

More! More!
Let's see some more,Ohana!

Okay, I had to get in on this too. If it wasn't for my oldest kid graduating from high school in a few weeks I'd have no clue all these years have gone by.

Here's me mid-eighties at Doggie Style + Chili Peppers gig in LA:

And, here's me almost 25 years later at our wedding:

Youth IS wasted on the young, not fair!

Some things get better with age,laura!
:)

i was speaking for myself...
:lol:

C'mon intrepid Lurkers
Post some pix!

retro-friki-tiki! I would have known that face anywhere. Haha, just look at you now! The new Don!
Java Loa - Laura! Wow, you were such a hip chick! :wink: You still are! Times have changed our bodies but not our minds. We still wanna get out and have fun, think outside the box, and rail against the machine. ( I can't say "rage" cuz of that dam band).

Do not got gentle into that dark night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas

And this is why my favorite saying is "I may be over the hill and scraping my way up the other side, but I'll be damned if I'm going down without a fight! Life is what you make it. Age is just a number. Damn, I hate my number right now! :lol:
Here it is almost 5:00 am, and I've already been up for a few hours.. How does that other saying go? Early to bed, early to rise, make a girl, healthy, wealthy and wise.. :lol: OK, so I changed it a we bit... Either way I'm going to have a good time, until my lights go out..

We'll make sure to put these words of wit and wisdom
on your Mausoleum Walls,girls! :lol:

will scan and post the dorkiest soon..

Well, I'm waitingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg! Where are those pic's LLT? Come on folks, it happens to all of us.. Post some pic's of then and now...

:: maholo & thnx! especially for the cool cannibal-print you created, which Java Loa gifted me!

Where's the jarhead pix Kinny? :lol:

honestly....
I left them at the studio and tonight's my scanning night at Toe's
which we caravan straight from work..
next week,Kiki!

I have an excuse....
All you Lurkers do not!
C'mon,let's see all you young sexy hooligans!

I will most likely regret this...

1975 - I can still hear my mother on the left of me there "what the f**k do you need a belt for when you paint your britches on dummy!"

Then 1978 - wild child at this point - I just get larger after this.

And finally today, with the advent of modern medicines, I have mellowed out a little.

Alright, I actually used to be thin. The hair is kind of a Swans deal.

And now I am rather large (cuddly). Luckily I've still got some hair. I'm on the left with fellow Finknik Mike.

What was the name of your group, The Irish Potato Skins? :D

Punk Man Reese!

Babs!
Seems you've weathered the storm fairly well...
it's that twinkle in your eye!

as for Matt.....
I'm sorry....I'm so sorry..... :lol:

"cuddly"
we call it "prosperous" in these parts!
:)
Hilarious!
Keep em coming
por favor!

It's amazing how many old school punks are on TC! They say that Rockabilly is the "Punk rock retirement program" but it looks like the same could be said for tiki!!

Babalu everytime I see that last pic of you I am reminded of Viggo from Ghostbusters...

Babs, weren't you that guy down the street I used to buy my weed from?!? :lol:

And Ken, we're all still waiting for your jarhead pic, come on!

I'm working on getting Mom to scan then email me something from the archives.

Babs' mom is so cool - look at her bell bottom pants. What's she complaining about?!

This is WAY more scary.

Ingrid Pitt, Hammer Film star who started the whole genre of erotic horror...

And wait for it....

wait for it........

EEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!

Cammo ....

the post headline is...
"post pictures of YOURSELF when YOU were thin and good-looking"

what part of YOU don't YOU understand?
:)

No kidding. The world will always sway with the whims of Cammo apparently.

Well, did you guys ever consider the fact that cameras might not have been invented yet back then?

Personally, I like the then-and-now Ingrid.

Maybe Cammo looked like Ingrid when he was young..

I got all excited when I say LLT's name on this thread and thought he had finally posted the long promised and long anticipated Leatherneck picture. All I got was a big serving of dissapointment :(

What you forgot to comment on,Mike.
is that this thread has achieved SIX whole pages
without me having to post any photos... :lol:
I was gonna wait til page 10
but may surprise you before then.....

it all depends on when i can get em scanned.....

I have a feeling that this was a way for LLT to get a bunch of new pics for
his photoshop exploits.

You are learning, grasshopper. We should all know by now not to post anything that is't fair game for Kinny! :wink:

I'm so very...sorry....

2008

Bigger hat, bigger jackass.

Nice ring woofie!

If only there was a way we could preserve our youthful glow....
instead of surrendering to the bigger hat....
:)

SQUIDDY! I JUST WANNA PINCH YER CHEEKS!

:lol:
Thanks Squid!
That kid is waaaaay too cute to be you!
:lol:

Toe sez his scanner is available early next week
before he packs it up!
I'll scan somethin!

You look exactly the same to me Squid.

Believe it or not, I have a picture of a young Ken Ruzic, in his pre-psychedelic drug days. Snapped a photo of it when I was at his shop a while back. I'll have to scrounge around and see if'n I can find it.

Hells ya, Mai Tai! post it up since we can't count on Mr. Rusnick to do it! By the way Kinny, i have a scanner too, so let's get busy and get those pics posted! Play fair! :)
And Squid, you look pretty darn near the same! How'd you do that? Got a special portrait in the back of your closet that ages for you?
