Official Picture Thread of the Straight Dope

[QUOTE=moonstarssun]
Ooops…heh, heh. Sorry! :smack: I only meant someone who’s not old enough to drink legally, of course.
[/QUOTE]

Oh, well that makes perfect sense then, since flirting is so much easier (and enjoyable!) when lubricated by alcohol :wink:

[QUOTE=moonstarssun]
OK, so I already had MaxTheVool, ArchitectChore, and Miller on my list of Doper crushes. Now I have to add soulmurk. Grelby, you’d be on there too, but you’re too young and it would be icky.

So here’s me, taken five minutes ago.
[/QUOTE]

I’ll take what I can get! :cool: You have nice eyes, and I like your freckles too. And I don’t mean that in a flirty way at all.

[QUOTE=Sampiro]
Then have them fire the village granaries, gather and shoot ten more villagers and have Monstre and or Grelby annointed in hot aromatic oils, arraigned in silks and sent to my private chambers for some ostrich florentine, pomegranate wine and Sudoku.
[/quote]

Oooh, that sounds pleasant, but right now it’s hot enough over here that I dunno about the oils. I’m totally up for some Sudoku, though.

[sub]Wait… is that code for sex?[/sub]

Well, hey, if that’s your criterion, I fit!

[sub]Yay booze![/sub]

Bonus flirt points for using “criterion” instead of “criteria!”

I’m a bit older now…

Sorry, iampunha, but I’m getting a “remote linking prohibited” message.

[QUOTE=Aesiron]
Post-weightloss? You look fairly typical (and damn cute) in that picture. I assume the reduced weight was a side-effect, not the goal?
[/QUOTE]
It was very much the goal, and trust me when I say that it was needed. I use that photo precisely because you can’t tell.

But thanks a lot for the “damn cute”. And thanks to malkavia too.

Aww, what a cute little boy.

I’m going to bookmark this thread and read it everytime I’m having a bad hair day…you guys sure know how to make a woman feel hot!
[/QUOTE]

Speaking of which, I just found your myspace profile, and I think my favorite pic is the last one on the pics page – holy crap, you’re adorable! And you didn’t even post that one here for us… Hmph!

I hope you don’t mind if I just… whimper for a while… over the fact that I’m not the guy in the second pic you posted…
:wink:

I used to be this guy, but I’ve learned that I’m forced to settle with being this guy, with an occasional excursion toward being this guy.

[QUOTE=Rigamarole]
That’s a wild outfit! I’m guessing you’re part of a show?
[/QUOTE]

It’s a traditional Plains-style cloth dress… my drum group was in the Grand Entry and we did a few drum songs and danced as well. The dress is wool, so you can imagine how hot it was, but I wasn’t nearly as hot as the women wearing 2 layers of buckskin!

So, adorable runs in the family?

Cyn, your link takes me to my Yahoo photo page.
[/QUOTE]

Unless you actually log out of Yahoo, it “sees” who you are when you return to the server and displays your own stuff.

I think.

O.

G. are you ever cute. :eek: garygnu, you are a handsome young man. that first pic with the glasses is dreamy.
[/QUOTE]

Thank you.
:slight_smile:
Not too bad yourself, if I may be so bold.
Along with Mrs.gnu, that makes two people who’ve told me I’m in any way attractive. (Not counting my mother, of course)

To everyone else: In retrospect, my post sounds kinda rude, so I apologize to anyone who was offended. Everything was going to hell in a handbasket (still is) and I wanted a pick-me-up.

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’? :slight_smile:

(And since I’ve already broken the rule, I’ll add a Hi! for all the other bodacious Dopers. :slight_smile: )

:: looks at wolfstu’s first picture ::

What are you doing in front of the Ministry of Defence?

:: looks at wolfstu’s second picture ::

Ah. Okay. Makes sense now. :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=garygnu]

Aww. Thanks :slight_smile:

Sigh, that’s always the way, isn’t it. :frowning:
:wink: :smiley:

This is because everyone is stunned into envious speechlessness. (I, fortunately, have a big mouth. :wink: ) There is simply no other explanation.

The university wouldn’t let me keep the gown long enough to go take a photo in front of the engineering building…

… but NDHQ and OC Transpo were the two big other things I paid attention to while I was at school in Ottawa. In fact, I got that fancy blue suit in the basement of the defence building.

[QUOTE=Misnomer]
I typically don’t flirt in these threads (or much at all around here), but we kind of know each other so what the hell: I keep forgetting that I do hope to meet you someday.

:: blush ::
Likewise. Every now and then I read something you’ve written and think, “Damn. Not only is she a babe, but she has a mind/passion/can write as well! Curse this matter of borders and distance!”
