Sorry, my eyesight ain't what it used to be, especially when I'm rather drunk.

Looking around to try to figure out where my hands went:

Aha! Found my hands, so here I am opening my first bank account, with the assistance of the bank manager.

First one's too big, but it's only 70K. Probably as cute as I've ever looked.

That's you at 15? You look like you should already have a well-developed 401K.

Yep, 6 feet tall, 180 pounds (or thereabouts), shaving for 2 years. Wish I still had that hair.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 3 April 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

At 11, Gravel Puzzleworth looks a bit like E.N., which is a high compliment. Miccio's and CJ's school photos are great. Pleasant Plains looks like he should be in a Wes Anderson film.

This is me in 1996, about six weeks after I shaved my head. I'm not sure what happened to the bald pics of me. After that, I decided to grow my hair out.

And here I am in late 1976 or early 1977, wearing one of my mom's housecoats.

Tuomas, a 401K is a US retirement fund plan in which your income is deducted from your paycheck pre-tax, for long-term investment, and may be withdrawn (taxed) when you're old. Some employers match your contributions (mine doesn't, cheap bastard).

Crease down the trousers, braces and a badly-cut mop, I might revive this look:

i kinda like the short hair, barry!
Thanks, in fact my hair was always short right up until my shave head/grow hair out stage in 1996. It usually looked good when it was short, but my hair is so curly that six weeks after getting a haircut, my hair would turn into a giant 'fro. I got tired of trying to manage the 'fro and/or go for haircuts all the time -- plus I was a swim instructor/lifeguard during those years and the chlorine was MURDER on my hair. So I finally said "fuck this" and shaved my head one night (admittedly, this involved alcohol and many drunken friends, but it *was* something I'd been considering for a long time).

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

Now there's a thread idea, Rock.

I had to google "eric foreman" and I don't think I look anything like Omar Epps.

MJ's pics are astonishingly good - and how on Earth have I never seen those magical Madchen shots before?!

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 10:07 (nineteen years ago)

I love Madchen's pictures; that saturated red was a big colour in Jubilee year (though I don't actually believe Madchen was around in 1977).

60-4! They were reeling!
