Official Picture Thread of the Straight Dope

(Can y’all tell that I’m just now getting caught up with this thread?)

[QUOTE=bubble pop electric]
Nah, I just meant that since I haven’t been posting very long, I doubt anyone’s actually been wondering what I look like.
[/QUOTE]
No worries … I knew you probably meant it that way, I was just tired of some of the false modesty I’d been seeing. I mean, modesty is good, but there’s only so many times I can see someone write, “well, here’s me, hope I didn’t break the camera” and then the photo is stunning. Cripes. :wink:

[QUOTE=Robot Arm]
Something a little more recent.
[/QUOTE]
Muuuch better. :slight_smile: Now, just shave the beard entirely… oops, sorry, didn’t mean for my fantasy to intrude on your reality!

[QUOTE=if6was9]
I still think of you as Drexel, like the university…
[/QUOTE]
Me, too. Heh.

[QUOTE=jakeline]
Seeing as how my adorable husband, Asimovian , has seen fit to post his pics, I’ll go ahead and do the same.
[/QUOTE]
I had no idea until just now that you’re a girl. Which gave me the idea that maybe I’ve been mispronouncing your user name – is it actually “jake line” or more like “jacqueline?” :slight_smile:

[QUOTE=What Exit?]
An updated picture of myself and my kids.

I’ll second fetus: congrats!

Ouch, my fragile ego

You know you deserved it … tryin’ to make me scream, and not even in a good way… :wink:

I opened it and got everything but a picture. Big band cover of Van Halen, a buddy list or something, but just a red X for a pic… Not the most flattering shot.

[QUOTE=Misnomer]
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)?
[/QUOTE]

No, and I didn’t have any touble at all. Wait, are you joking? I can’t tell. Anyway, nice pictures Carlyjay. You’re very pretty… though in a dangerous sort of way. Like, I wouldn’t want to be in the same room alone with you for fear of bodily harm. I don’t why I get that vibe either. It’s sort of like… like how tigers are beautiful, you know? But you wouldn’t want to actually touch one for fear of having your face ripped off. Or maybe you’re sweet as sugar-- who knows? Heed not my words, as I lost my mind sometime ago.

Might as well jump on the myspace whoring bandwagon too. I always forget that I have one. Meh. You can send me a message and be all “Hey, you’re that guy from SDMB!” and I’ll say “Yeah! And you’re that other person from SDMB!” Then the awkward silence will ensue as we struggle to find something to talk about. Yay.

What?! Holy crap, that sucks. Sorry, it doesn’t usually do that… Urk! OK, let me try something else.

Well, I’m glad you had no trouble, I was starting to think I’d created a monster by posting that link. And thanks! :smiley:

Mwaaaaaahahahahaha. :wink:

Yes. Nice picture, hon.

There. Now we know what to look for in the commercials so we won’t all just Tivo past them.

Nope. I got nuttin’. Nary a pop-up wormed its way into my browser, and nothing tried to install itself on my system. Sure, it loads slowly because, after all, it’s a MySpace page, but nothing unusual.

Wow, guess it was just me, then … weird! I ran VirusScan on my entire system, and everything’s fine. Sorry for the false alarm, everyone (especially Carlyjay) – I’d just been happily looking at pictures, and suddenly WHAM! Guess it was just one of those weird interwebs things. :wink:

(And no, I wasn’t joking. That would have been a pretty lame joke!)

Black text with black background pictures make baby jesus cry :wink:

Anyway, I’m also on myspace as well if you’re looking for more awkwardness. And join Bear’s SDMB myspace group if you’re looking for a special kind of group awkwardness.

You’ve broken so many web-page aniti-annoying rules, I think I’m going to cry.

Pic 1. I mostly wanted to show that one because, of course, what’s in the background. My friend took that picture in her basement, I’m never photogenic in her pics.

And to burn that horror from your minds, here’s me at grad.

We are forbidden access to such beauty.

That’s more or less what my screen says.

[QUOTE=Carlyjay]
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.

:eek: Wow!

Who us? Crazies???

Actually, you’re completely right. It’s pronounced Jake-Line. In person, most of my friends do call me Jake. That is one thing that I find so interesting about these threads. People you thought were guys are gals, and vice versa. Along the same lines, Asimovian and I met through a BBS and I had a “I didn’t realize you’re just a touch darker than me” moment when first I met him.

[QUOTE=if6was9]
Now that’s what I’m talking about! That, to me, is the very essence of sexy. I don’t mean to flirt.You’re married, and I am too more or less, just without that piece of paper thingy. I have seen tons of threads over time that ask what is sexy? What appeals to the opposite sex? What do you want in a mate? Yada yada. It’s not boobs (in girls). Not butts (men and women). Not blond or redhead or blue or pink. It’s THAT look. That shit-eating-grin. That KNOWING look. My baby (Maureen - pic withheld under penalty of death) has it in spades. So do you. That is sexy! Rowwrrrr!
[/QUOTE]

::fans herself:: Whew, it is getting warm in here, or is it just me? Thank you, if6was9. You totally made my week!

Here’s a picture taken just today, of a more scruffy Monstre, taken at a lake where Monstre is currently spending the weekend, and up through July 4.

Zounds! We’ve found the Lake Monstre!

Am I the only one who thought, "Monstro, i thought she was a you know… girl.

Sorry about that. :wink:
