Diving right in, I give you [this pic](http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dfrntgtrfx4rj.jpg), the original for which seems to be lost. It was taken around the same time as [this](http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=medriving1228006ab.png) (the haircut gives it away.) A little time passed and brought me to [about six months ago](http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=myportrait0cs.jpg). Forgive my lack of poetic praise on all who have inspired my thoughts turning to romance. This has been a P. Kennedy inspired experiment about “voting” on Ambien. (I wonder if I’ll remember doing this tomorrow? And will it seem “acceptible behaviour” enough?) My first thought was to use this [as a self-portrait](http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/1581/greydrumsjpg8yi.jpg), but that seemed ill-advised. (Note I did it anyway. Maybe I really don’t know what I’m doing.) ---

**Tuckerfan** , my dad is a 75-year-old little Japanese man who most assuredly does _not_ get around. Mom would kill him. But thanks. And I’m doin’ fine. How are _you_ doin’? 😉 **Ale** , your girlfriend kickboxes? That’s really cool. My husband is going for his black belt in karate, tai chi, and kobudo. I think he used to kickbox. I am impressed by your moral rectitude [SUB]and abject fear.[/SUB] 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Sunspace] I don’t usually post much comment in these threads since attaining a certain age–it would be unseemly to flirt with people much younger than me–but I’m going to break that rule for you. How _you_ doin’? 🙂 [/QUOTE] Hey, I bet you’re not much older than me, so not to worry. I’m very flattered–and you’re quite cute too. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=silenus] This thread pretty much puts paid to that old saw that only fat, ugly losers hang out on internet message boards. Or is that just at my end? 😃 [/QUOTE] It’s a mild distinction you’re missing, the adage is that only fat, ugly losers hang out on _role-playing_ message boards. This board does seem to tilt the common perception though… and all these years I thought people here were only smarter than most message board posters. ---

Or is that just at my end? 😃 [/QUOTE] Burn me for a heretic, but I don’t think the people who respond to these sorts of threads are necessarily a representative sample of good-lookingness here at the SDMB. There are a few self-sacrificial lambs, but for the most part, only people who are reasonably happy with the way they present in pictures are likely to post in this type of thread. ---
