You haven't changed a bit.

stealing MatG's idea...

 

[Johannes]

Ernest?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

HA!

and the kicker is, I gave my son the same middle name. it's a family thing, I suppose. my grandfather and uncle on my mom's side were both named Ernest. none of us like(d) it. mom died about a month before Sam was born, so it's a bit of a tribute to her.

momma's boy. heh.

 

[Johannes]

Hehe.

It's not too bad. There are worse middle names.

 

[roni]

The importance of being Ernest ...
Hemingway.
I too think, this is not the worst middle name one can have - this could make a new thread.

But hooch, you don't look very happy in that pic. What did they do to you? Or were you just hungover?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

that's my 18 year old attempt at disaffected cool, man!

you mean it didn't work? ;)

 

[roni]

now that you mention it - hell yeah! worked great!

 

[mjp]

I think all I need is some big Swifty Lazar (or Mat Gleason) glasses to qualify for that pomo hipster site:

Of course the patchy beard wasn't ironic 25 years ago.

 

[justine]

you look a bit like a hairy jared leto!

 

[Ponder]

mjp has calm eyes and the other guy, well you know...

 

[mjp]

...a bit like a hairy jared leto!

I think I'm a bit like a hairy version of a lot of guys. The face is a little generic. I should get some implants in my face. Then I could so totally be on that pomo site. For reals.

i thought you were great in the breakfast club!

sorry

 

[hoochmonkey9]

You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?

1987 London

This is from my busking days in London- 1987

 

[Bukfan]

Good Lord, it's Bukowski's younger brother! :D

 

[Digit]

I thought he was the guy that I just bought beer from at the shell station 20 minutes ago.

 

[Black Swan]

In 88, surrounded by biochemicals, trying to match identified fractels with what I had seen in an altered state.

 

[Stavrogin]

Behave yourself Roni.

 

[Johannes]

Beautiful, Black Swan. Then and now.

Sorry Ponder, I speak as an objective spectator of timeless female beauty.

 

[Black Swan]

Thank you, Johannes! I was a little shy to like this post but when I don't feel so hot, I read it! :)
So, I do like it!

 

[toiletrolltube]

This is as close as I can find. Being a tube when I was 19. I can't believe I'm posting this on the internet. Ah well, fuck it.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

so you're the reason they put suffocation warnings on plastic bags.

thanks for that.

 

[Bukfan]

OMG, that's one sick looking kid!:eek:

 

[zobraks]

This gallery would in no way be complete without Yours Truly, so here he is:


The poor guy was in the army in those days*, this is his photo from the military record book.
*hence the somber look (and the costume), but he was cheerful and fond of humo(u)r even then; trust me, I knew him well

P.S. The picture was taken in April of 1987.

 

[esart]

Guess which one is me.

 

[mjp]

I think you posted that one waaaay back in the thread. But it reminds me that I was going to post another 1987 pic if I have one here...

 

[esart]

Okay, here's when I was a bank teller...

 

[mjp]

I'd go to that bank.

 

[Black Swan]

With my yellow Walkman, has to be around 87!

 

[mjp]

I was going to post another 1987 pic if I have one here...

Oh, look at that, I do.

And as a bonus, you can see my deluxe accommodations at the time. That bathroom was luxurious, I tell you.

 

[desertlizard]

1987 it is

 

[Aficionado37]

I was a bit hesitant to post this, seeing a how I don’t look so good, but anyways, here's a picture of me in 1987:
