Official Picture Thread of the Straight Dope

Least Original User Name Ever · #1 06-25-2006, 02:35 PM

Okay picture whores and people who want to/have demanded that they are seen.

Have at it.

Telperien · #2 06-25-2006, 02:38 PM

It's traditional for the OP to go first.

Just saying.

Misnomer · #3 06-25-2006, 02:45 PM

It's customary for the OP of such a thread to start by providing a picture of him/herself...

(Or, on preview, what Telperien said. Curse my slow composition skills!)

This is a thread I've been thinking about starting for a week or two myself, so I'll jump in: here are a bunch of photos of me, at various ages (and in chronological order*).

Now I get to sit back and look at everyone else's!

*Anal retentive? Me? Why do you ask?

Telperien · #4 06-25-2006, 02:52 PM

As for me: an older one, something a little newer, and the most recent one I have.

silenus · #5 06-25-2006, 02:54 PM

From SurfDope2004. Me in all my splendor. Sorry I couldn't find a brighter shirt.

drachillix · #6 06-25-2006, 02:56 PM

Here I am

Alice The Goon · #7 06-25-2006, 02:58 PM

Here's me.

Least Original User Name Ever · #8 06-25-2006, 03:01 PM

silenus, I remembre seeing that picture on a different thread. I had assumed you were John Mace, then. I'm not sure if that's an insult or not.

Misnomer, I like the South Park pic. That's a new take on getting your picture drawn in cartoon form, eh?

Telpereien, I was just putting up a forum for such things! I didn't realize there was SUCH a demand for my ugly face to be smattered across the Dope. I'll get there. Consider this pictorial foreplay, dah-ling.

Bah. I HATE pictures of me.

Here is one taken about three months ago. Someone let me know if the link worked please.

Alice The Goon · #11 06-25-2006, 03:05 PM

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Telperien · #12 06-25-2006, 03:08 PM

Link does work, Nic2004.

LOUNE, it's just a rule, you know. Never mind that I asked for proof of your being a cute young thing and all elsewhere.

Dude, you started it.

This is from last December. Friend cut out to protect the innocent. My daughter took this a couple of months ago, and says it's an excellent example of Momface.

Susie Derkins · #14 06-25-2006, 03:11 PM

A few of me. Never done this before, so remember what your momma told ya.

Your nose piercing is all kinds of awesome.

foxymoron · #24 06-25-2006, 04:09 PM

Sampiro, I'm pretty sure I just guffawed at your pictures.

swampbear · #25 06-25-2006, 04:17 PM

Sampiro that's an awful impressive beard for a high school student to grow.

JCorre · #26 06-25-2006, 04:38 PM

I'm behind the cute one (my niece).

Ship? What's all that talk a-boat?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My resolve is dwindling. I MAY take one tomorrow when I'm all gussied up. (Shirt and tie isn't necessarily "gussied", but it's what keeps the geriatrics all hot and bothered.)

Try not to feel to inadequate. I'm sure you look fine in your own way.

Oh please! There's nothing wrong with a little enhancement to achieve the overall look. It's really quite stunning.

Good. Then my surgically implanted asscheeks and unicorn horn should go over quite nicely.

Don't make me come over there.
