Official Picture Thread of the Straight Dope

For some reason in looking at your pics I keep hearing the Billy Squire song The Stroke.

Me at my sister’s wedding a couple of years ago.

You have no idea. There are sooooo many horribly suggestive rowing phrases out there, it’s not even fun anymore. And this gave me an idea for a thread I just started “what are the suggestive phrases in your sport/hobby/profession?”. IT’s over in IMHO.

Really? I keep hearing a voice saying “Wow! What a bunch of hot women!”.

You’re a doll, but I’ll admit to being disappointed that you don’t look more like Katharine Hepburn on a throne on a barge. (Maybe at another wedding, perhaps as your olest son is married to your adopted daughter while your estranged husband and younger son look on in despair.)

Or else you’re a shill from Microsoft’s spreadsheet division…

:frowning: :mad: :smack: :smiley:

Heh, don’t feel bad, my job title is “Screw Machine Operator” and even though I make nuts, it has absolutely nothing to do with porn. :frowning:

There are way too many damn pictures of me.

Ok, here’s a few.

An updated picture of myself and my kids. Taken yesterday an the Twin Lights in Highlands, NJ.

Jim {now with 10% less fat*}

  • thanks to 7 successful weeks of dieting. :wink:

Wow! Good on you, What Exit?, you look great.

Here’s one of me looking kind of surly. Believe it or not, there’s an almost imperceptable smile under there. Smiling has never been my strong suit.

Thanks, I have so much more to lose, but hitting that 10% goal, made me happy and I feel better.

I forgot to mention, LOUNE, when you look at this new picture, please note the T-shirts My son and I are wearing.

Jim

Keep up the good work, Mr. Jim.

You can get more exercise by chasing the Tigers.
why, for the love of god, are you doing that to the poor kid? give him a real team. let him know something about “sports” and not just “buy the best players!”

None of you know me at all. But I was sent here by LOUNE so I guess I’d better listen or else you won’t let me stay.

Might be easier to just send you to MySpace.

Please, no crazies.

I said clearly attractive, sweetie. :wink:

I’ve come to the realization that my fist picture sucks and is out of focus.

I may need to take more pictures and smear my unattractiveness all over this thread some more.

[sup]Ouch, my fragile ego[/sup]

Jesus fucking … what the hell?? That link opened, like, 20 windows, tried to download something, and resulted in two warnings from my firewall about trojan viruses. :mad:

Did that happen to anyone else (before I posted this, of course)?
