The WPWer's Wayback Machine

[Leisa]

Before I do what I'm about to do, which I'm afraid I may regret later, let me say that this is taking A LOT of nerve on my part. You have to promise not to laugh (too hard). If you can't promise that, please do not continue reading. :)

Ok, good. Well, I figured if there's a wayback machine for websites, why not for us WPWers? So, I dug for the most hideous picture I could find of myself in hopes to get to see yours too. Come on now, a good laugh never hurt anyone!

So, prepare yourself...

x

As you can imagine, I was not exactly the most popular girl in school. Actually, I spent most of my school days as the butt of cruel jokes. Good grades and looks like those above? Yeah, go figure. One thing you can't see in the pic above is that the rubberbands on my braces were school colors. I mean really, how much more cool can you get! Anyhow, I thought this would be fun.

Ok, I'm having a little trouble pressing that little submit button down below. Pardon me while I give a little self pep talk. Breathe...ok GO!

[mikmik]

Awe c'mon Leisa, I'm sure that your 'inner beauty' shone through then! (as always ;O)
I'm going back to Edmonton to see family tomorrow, I'll see if I can't locate a 'pre braces' shot of myself :-O
:o#

[ldyguique]

Leisa :))
You ARE a brave lass!! And, unfortunately, I cannot reciprocate as one of the things that I left behind when I walked out on my marriage some years back were all photos. Besides, I've already published my own hideousharriet picture and it showed up today. My steenkin' badge for work and my driver's license both require some imagination on the part of the scrutinizer to determine if I'm actually me. I tend to stay away from cameras.

However, painful memories of an awkward youth keep one sensitive to others and far more inclined to reach out and help others. Now, you've both character AND looks :)

[Leisa]

Awe c'mon Leisa, I'm sure that your 'inner beauty' shone through then! (as always ;O)
I'm going back to Edmonton to see family tomorrow, I'll see if I can't locate a 'pre braces' shot of myself :-O
:o#

You are so kind. Thank you for not leaving me out on that limb all by myself. I was beginning to worry...a lot.

ldyguique - Thank you so much for your reply too. If you walked out on a marriage, I'm sure it was because you weren't happy so you're much better off without the pictures! That's kind of a backwards way of saying you are more important than your belongings. I'm glad you found the strength to leave and judging by your picture you are quite a beautiful woman so you go girl!

[janeth]

Ok Leisa

Give me about an hour and let me see what I can find.

I have to go way back to find a picture of me when I was young.

[LauraB]

OK Leisa,

I am up to the challenge! I will dig through photos this weekend and find something. How far back are we talking? We were all cute as toddlers, not sure I am brave enough to share the teen years. I am not sure I'm brave enough to think about my teen years!

I am looking forward to mikmik sharing his 'pre braces' shot. And janeth was probably just as cute than as she is now... :~)

[Leisa]

Yea!!! janeth and Laura, you rock! Come on, it's no fair putting up cute pictures!

[wclew]

Leisa,
Good post, this should lead to some funny photos. I don't think yours is that bad, though. Maybe, I'm just seeing that inner beauty that MikMik mentioned, I don't know. Anyway, those braces paid off because you sure have a pretty smile now. ;)

I'll see if I can't find a bad one of myself to post. It'll be hard though, because I've always had these GQ looks! HaHa, yeah right!
Take care,
Dennis

[janeth]

This was a little tuff. The scanner would not work so we had to use the camera.

So here is a picture of a picture.

The picture is 18 years old. So another words this is me 18 years ago.

I was on a farm in Colombia

http://www.geeksonsteroids.com/logos/janeth1.jpg

[janeth]

Hi Leisa

Your picture is not bad at all.

I went back 17 years I can go back further but I figured school pictures are what your looking for.

Now you have made me feel old

[janeth]

I think Brittany should put her picture here also.

[cyanide]

Leisa -you are one brave sole !!

As for me... NO WAY,

I'm having a tough enough time getting the nerve to put up a current pic !! lol

[janeth]

Cyanide,

Come on now one picture of when you where young.

What can it hurt?

[esiegel]

The picture is 18 years old. So another words this is me 18 years ago.

Looking at your current picture, I didn't think you were much over 18 now.

Since I'll be 44 on Sunday...maybe I'll take some time a dig up a old shot from my long hair high school days...or better yet from my artsy/fartsy theatre days.

[Leisa]

I'll see if I can't find a bad one of myself to post. It'll be hard though, because I've always had these GQ looks! HaHa, yeah right!
Take care,
Dennis
Hey! Well, maybe if you look reeeeeally hard you can find one on a bad hair day, you know, still GQ but not Ultimate GQ. :)

janeth your picture is so cute!


maybe I'll take some time a dig up a old shot from my long hair high school days...or better yet from my artsy/fartsy theatre days
Happy Birthday! Perhaps you could entertain us with pictures from both eras?

Hi Leisa

Your picture is not bad at all.

I went back 17 years I can go back further but I figured school pictures are what your looking for.

Now you have made me feel old

I don't know if it makes you feel at all better but that pic I posted of myself is from 11 years ago.

And Minstrel - woo doggie! Nice pic! Any chance you recall what you may have been playing?

[minstrel]

And Minstrel - woo doggie! Nice pic! Any chance you recall what you may have been playing?
I think it was a guitar... ;o)

And I remember it was in Montreal (I recognize the room)... and I think I was about 3...

BTW: Great idea for a thread, Leisa!

Re: the Little Leisa pic - I love the blouse... and we finally learn what happen to Roy Orbison's other pair of glasses... they disappeared one night about 1963 and for the rest of his career the poor lad had to wear his sunglasses... ;o)

I wish I could find my 1970 passport photo with the George Harrison-Abbey Road suit and hair...

[minstrel]

... and by "1970" I, of course, meant "1990" - I'm barely 30 now...

[minstrel]

I want to see a pic of Julian about age 12 to see if he already had the orange cap...

...and Cindy, probably wearing a Steppenwolf or Papa John Phillips fur hat...

...and Rocky with his first fish (aka "bait")...

...and Wen doing her Legally Blonde act with a chihuahua puppy and matching purse...

...and Brittany with big hair...

...and Mik with, err... hair... ;o)

[minstrel]

Minstrel, The Even Earlier Years...


Age 1-2, Vancouver, B.C...... and then age 10, I think... in Kitimat, B.C. -
I must have borrowed the suit from Rocky...

[matauri]

Pure laziness is stopping any teen pics. I would have to travel to my mums place, go thru billions of family pics, then come back & plug my scanner in & scan it.

But I can give you my first day at school at 5yrs old.

http://attitude-emedia.com/image-library/cindy(6yr).jpg

And coz Leisa asked for the most ugly...LOL...well that I could find. It has to to be this one after I had just spent 2 weeks without amenities in the Gatamalan forest, with my dreadlocks. My first beer ! :-)
(however, this was only a couple of years ago!)
http://attitude-emedia.com/image-library/ford-coppola4.jpg

Close enuff for ya Dave? ;-)
As you can see by my recent WPW pic, the sweet girl did resurface :-)



Cindy

[rocky1]

Per "Minstrel Woo Doggie's" request... there are no Rocky with first fish pics available! As is the case with ldyguique, I left pics with exes in two previous marriages, so the supply is pretty thin! And, the one I was searching for has mysteriously disappeared from the folder with the rest, and I'm sure is subject to pop up about Christmas Day surrounded by some ornate little frame to grace the top of the television or the living room wall for eternity, since I was such a handsome little feller! (Although the better half vehemently denies any knowledge of its whereabouts!)


However, I did manage to dig up a couple for the time machine!

Well, I was hoping for a fur top hat, but at least it does have that "the only way you're gonna take away this beer is if you kill me and by the way the mood I'm in right now I'm half inclined to kill you now just because you're within 8 feet of me" look...

As for the "sweet girl look", it always looked more to me like the "sure you can smile now but while you're doing that the inevitable world takeover is proceeding according to plan and then you are pet food"...

[paulhiles]

First school photo (aged 3), Sixth Form College (aged 17), Camberwell Art College (aged 19) and a year later, a proper poser!! LOL! Thoroughly miserable looking throughout the years! :c)
http://www.erimus.com/images/webproworld/timemachine.jpg

[minstrel]

Paul:

You have that same "what's going on here? am I under arrest?" look in every photo! :o)

...and wasn't the third one from the left used for the cover of Peter Frampton Comes Alive? or am I thinking of Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits)?

[ldyguique]

Paul, Never quite got the knack of smiling, huh :)

[Cathcart]

I have been reading through the forum for sometime now and have been compelled to say Hello (I am usually a bit shy) a few times but this was just too good to pass up.

I just loved all the pictures of you guys! From an outsider, you all seem to be beautiful inside and out!

So here is my introduction, from XX years ago.
Cathy from Gainesville, Georgia

http://www.yesstyles.com/me2.jpg

Guess this is the best place to start...when I was normal and life was easy, LOL!

Can't wait to see more. I have learned so much from you guys and laughed a lot!

[paulhiles]

Paul, Never quite got the knack of smiling, huh :)I actually smile a lot.. I'm a "smiley" kinda guy! But when it comes to photos, especially as a youngster with goofy teeth.. I used to keep my mouth firmly closed.. hence the look! :c)


wasn't the third one from the left used for the cover of Peter Frampton Comes Alive?I'm not sure about that.. although I do vaguely recall the cover.. it was round about the time when everyone seemed to be getting perms 1979/80 or thereabouts.. hence the soft flowing locks! You should've seen the faded denim outfit that accompanied them!! LOL!

Paul

[janeth]

Those are some good looking pictures

We have Rocky who looks like the basball playing party guy and Paul who like Rocky are both very good looking but Paul has that bad attitude look.

[janeth]

Why was minstrel the only one that could not find color pictures?

How long has the color camera been around?

[minstrel]

Why was minstrel the only one that could not find color pictures? How long has the color camera been around?
shhhhh... those are all police mug-shots...

[janeth]

Hi Cathcart

We want a now picture also

It is no fun one with out the other

[janeth]

Minstrel

Do you still know how to play the guitar?

Hey this is a tattered photo of yours truly the day before his audition for Minstrel's band: notice my good luck 'jammies'...
also note my double life at age 9 (soccer trophy on piano) i was the only kid on the baseball, soccer, basketball teams who had to leave practice early to get home in time for my piano lessons....

I was shocked to see there even WERE cameras back then.


Re: the Little Leisa pic - I love the blouse... and we finally learn what happen to Roy Orbison's other pair of glasses... they disappeared one night about 1963 and for the rest of his career the poor lad had to wear his sunglasses... ;o)

and

I wish I could find my 1970 passport photo with the George Harrison-Abbey Road suit and hair...

I guess I stayed under the radar long enough not to get busted with the glasses. When they were gifted to me I had to go into hiding and wait until one day in 1988...Poor guy. There is a certain guilt I carry with me to this day. HA!HA!HA! I almost started believing that, I've gotta stop.

You know, I think I would pay to see that George Harrison look-a-like shot.

Hey Matauri, that first day of school shot looks like something out of a magazine. Great pic!

...and then there's daren, the multi-talented child genius, "I can do anything" boy. This is so much fun.

[minstrel]

I was shocked to see there even WERE cameras back then.
This is starting to feel more and more like home... like when my sons ask me if I was scared the first time I saw a horseless carriage or what it was like to eat supper before the invention of fire. As for the photos, they are actually recent photos of stone etchings, if you must know...

Who was it that said, "I don't need to stay here and be insulted - I have hundreds of people waiting to insult me..."? It sounds like a Steve Martin line but I can't place it...

[Leisa]

More pics to laugh at...

[janeth]

Hi Leisa

I think that is the same hair cut I had in my picture.

How old where you in the first picture at the start of the post?

[Leisa]

I think that is the same hair cut I had in my picture.

How old where you in the first picture at the start of the post?

I guess we knew style! I was 14 or 15 in that first pic...so with a little elementary math I guess you now know how old I am.

Oh, by the way, there's picture floating out on the net that is supposedly of this guy named cyanide... I took the liberty of posting it on his behalf.

http://whollywholesale.com/cyanide.gif
The mystery is over.

[janeth]

He's not bad looking at all,

and yes I was trying to figure out your age.

[minstrel]

One of the things I find fascinating about seeing a series of photos is that, although there are some obvious changes as one ages and is exposed to gravity for an extended period of time, the smile and the eyes and the general expression (read: approach to the outside world) remains surprisingly constant. I've often thought that may be because those features are more reflective of the person's basic temperament, or core personality, or even soul, however you define that...

Looking at many of the pictures here, including but mot limited to those posted by Leisa and Janeth, I see that observation confirmed again...

A fascinating thread you started, Leisa - but are you certain that's cyanide?

[Cathcart]

Hi Cathcart

We want a now picture also

It is no fun one with out the other

I try to avoid cameras on that end these days. But I guess I could at least do that.

lol. trickery!

(fictional) Trivia about the greatest band ever to walk the face of the planet...

Did you know that when the album cover for Let It Be went to print, the printer's apprentice changed it without the knowledge of the band? He claimed the original image was not of the proper proportions for the cover size. They were none too pleased when they found out but millions had been printed with the modified image and the two most notable influences for the album never received proper credit...until now...

I would have to agree with you.

[Leisa]

are you certain that's cyanide?

This is yet unconfirmed speculation.

I think I found carbonize.... and a young WenWilder:

LOL... except that when that album was released, I actually looked more like George Harrison, except with longer hair... more like on Abbey Road...

[janeth]

Cathcart is very pretty

I guess she will start getting the emails from the guys now that she put her picture up.

[matauri]

Paul...and wasn't the third one from the left used for the cover of Peter Frampton Comes Alive? or am I thinking of Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits)?

You got it!! When I first saw that pic I was trying to figure who it reminded me of, and yeah...I think its early Peter Frampton :-)
Tho, I think the last one in the row reminds me of someone out of the movie Trainspotting.

LOL @ Leisa about Cyanides chicken pic :-)
I think it's about time he fessed up too ! ;-)

Rocky, your colour pic looks like my brother in law looks now. Resemblance is uncanny!


Well, I was hoping for a fur top hat, but at least it does have that "the only way you're gonna take away this beer is if you kill me and by the way the mood I'm in right now I'm half inclined to kill you now just because you're within 8 feet of me" look...

Nice use of age re-gression software, Paul !!! That smile(?) of yours is a dead give-away. ;-)

I would put some of mine up here, but I am afraid that the camera was not invented yet !! Besides I am not that brave of an individual.

...and Minstrel, you old dog -- what is with that 3-years old stuff again?

[minstrel]

Cathcart is very pretty - I guess she will start getting the emails from the guys now that she put her picture up.
I'm sorry, Janeth... did you say something? these "ancient" ears aren't what they used to be... and besides, I was emailing Cathcart...

minstrel it would be your eyes giving you the problem not your ears.

But I guess when you reach a certain age it is hard to tell which part of your body your using.

wow i've been working all day....missing all the fun in here........
Leisa you are officially "WPW official topic starter-upper" great thread this is...

My god i still have that same Abbey Road photo- how funny & ironc.......
it's ironic that the first thing i thought upon looking at minstrel's jam session photo was that it's the spitting image of george harrison cerca the "Meet the Beatles" album.....

i think it would look great as a new wpw MOD icon too:

[Leisa]

it's ironic that the first thing i thought upon looking at minstrel's jam session photo was that it's the spitting image of george harrison cerca the "Meet the Beatles" album.....

I know! That's the first thing I thought of too...like he could have been sitting in some small, damp, musty basement room with the other guys just jammin with them.

[minstrel]

One of the things that impressed me about the "Young Daren" photo is that he seems to be playing at least two, maybe three pieces of music at the same time - impressive multitasking for someone so young and wearing his lucky jammies...

If I could find that passport photo, I'd scan it and post it, but I vaguely recall an ex-girlfriend asking me if she could have it ("women... can't live with 'em, can't stuff 'em in a sack" - Larry of Larry, Darryl, and Darryl) - I always called it my "George Harrison suit", bought in Carnaby Street (Square?) in 1972 (when I was, of course, only 3 but had a generous allowance and a paper route) - however, looking again at the Abbey Road album cover I realize it was misnamed, because it's John Lennon wearing the white suit - I actually still own a pair of those round John Lennon glasses too, and the hair is about the same as mine was in 1972 (a hirsute 3 year old to be sure) but I suck at keyboards... I think George also wore those white bell-bottom suits when performing though...

http://www.psychlinks.ca/misc/abbeyroad.jpg

...as for young George Harrison, I do recall one of him with that Elvis hair but the earliest one I can find now is this - I have no idea what kind of hair that is:

Color pic would be about 1977 - 1978 age 18 -19 yers old. Haircut compliments of Uncle Sam! U.S. Air Force, spent 3 years at Keesler Air Force Base Biloxi, MS. The picture that's missing goes with the other and is a much closer and cleaner shot than the one offered, that one's got to be about '71 - '72 I think.

As for the Wen picture.... I think Menstril Woo Doggie! had that one pegged back there a few posts ago. The resemblance there is as you suggested in this case, uncanny!

Per Minstrel Woo Doggie's comments... as they say, (whoever "they" is, as always referred to in such matters),"The eyes are the windows to the soul."

[Leisa]

Per Minstrel Woo Doggie's comments... as they say, (whoever "they" is, as always referred to in such matters),"The eyes are the windows to the soul."

I know for myself, whenever I look at old pictures, well, any pictures I guess, I always cover everything but the eyes. It's amazing what you can see that way.

Minstrel, I think I have a younger pic of George.
http://whollywholesale.com/beatnikgeorge.gif

And then there's the famous Minstrel/George moment caught on film.

Yeah... but you could of just asked! I'm not bashful about it!

I'm just waiting for minstrel or ronniethedodger to give enough information to figure something out.

[Leisa]

I had to share this:

We have a friend over right now and I went to this thread while he and my hubby were talking. Well, he was apparently looking at my screen and as I scrolled past my original post I hear from behind me "Oooh, she ugly!!!". Yeah, you should have seen his face when I whipped out the original. You could see the thought process on his face..."um, what, DING!" "Oh, that's you, I'm so sorry, I, I, I..."

[ronniethedodger]

it's ironic that the first thing i thought upon looking at minstrel's jam session photo was that it's the spitting image of george harrison cerca the "Meet the Beatles" album.....

Isn't that interesting...I was thinking something too. For real. But I thought Minstrel's jam session photo reminded me of Ricky Nelson in a clip from one of the Ozzie & Harriet shows.

[janeth]

We where at some friends house the other night and my husband and my friends husband had been drinking.

We where looking at some old pictures and

my husband said: who is this

and

my friend said: it is me.

Then

my husband said: you use to be pretty

Then

her husband said: that is the problem she use to be

Then next thing you know there fighting where leaving and as where driving away my husband starts to laugh. He thinks that was the funniest thing ever.

He wants to go back next week.

[ronniethedodger]

I'm just waiting for minstrel or ronniethedodger to give enough information to figure something out.

Well I think Minstrel has quite a few clues spread out amongst various threads...I am getting a fairly good idea of his point of origin.

As for me...hmmmm....I am way, way, way older than Minstrel. You would not think so, but I am. I guess I age a little more gracefully, eh? ;-)

But since most people think that I am actually from another planet...a planet that has no meaning of time. Then I guess my age is irrelevant.

I had a freind give me a watch as a gift once...right out of the blue, he just gives it to me. No batteries in it....so I asked him what was up with that....and he said that I never show up when I say I would, so what was the point !!!

[janeth]

I like the watch thing I will have to buy some watches.

Now we need the famous Leisa to do some side by side photos of both ronniethedodger and minstrel and see if ronniethedodger words are true and he really looks younger.

Maybe she could do some touch ups if you know what I mean Leisa

Ahhh!!! Let him off the hook, but do it with a little twist. Just tell him that he is the Prince that kissed the Toad ...nothing more than that. Let him stew on that for a while. ;-)

[minstrel]

minstrel you know she always makes you look good.
If you mean "by comparison", I have to agree... if you mean anything else, my feelings are hurt... :-(


I thought Minstrel's jam session photo reminded me of Ricky Nelson in a clip from one of the Ozzie & Harriet shows.
I think I vaguely remember that... I believe my mom used to watch that show when she was breastfeeding me...

That Ricky was okay, you know? Remember his later song, "Garden Party"?

(goes off humming, "hey hey hello mary lou... goodbye heart...")

[ronniethedodger]

minstrel you know she always makes you look good.

Man it is amazing what a few filters in PhotoShop will do now.


That Ricky was okay, you know? Remember his later song, "Garden Party"?


yup...and the John Wayne western he did with Dean Martin and Walter Brennan.

I also remember (listen up Janeth...this dog is throwing you a bone) seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. It also had Soupy Sales as a guest...and I think some chimpanzees too.

But I faintly remember John Kennedy's casket being pulled down the streets of Washington in the funeral procession.

My more vivid TV recollections started about the time the NBC Peacock got colored feathers, all the shows touted "In Color", and this line at the beginning of a whole slew of TV shows at that same time "A Quinn Martin Production".

[minstrel]

Janeth? Behave yourself now...

[minstrel]

Man it is amazing what a few filters in PhotoShop will do now.
Although that part isn't new... didn't you ever watch any of the Doris Day movies? ;o)

hehehehe...that may be. But I have 100 rabbits walking backwards across my forehead in the direction of a glare spot at the rear of my noggin...oops, way too much information.

[Leisa]

When it comes to art or graphics, I totally suck - so maybe I'm easily impressed but what you guys do amazes me... ;-)
My talent in that area is pretty limited...what you've seen from me is pretty much the extent of what I can do. But it sure is fun!


One of the things that impressed me about the "Young Daren" photo is that he seems to be playing at least two, maybe three pieces of music at the same time - impressive multitasking for someone so young and wearing his lucky jammies...
After all, they are lucky jammies right? I thought I could fly when I had my lucky cape, I mean blankie. His name was George and I would always put him in the freezer. Hmm...I started to erase what I just shared because it makes me look nuts but I'll leave it as proof for what too much Jim Beam will do to a person's "what I should and should not share with the general population" decision making abilities.



as I scrolled past my original post I hear from behind me "Oooh, she ugly!!!". Yeah, you should have seen his face when I whipped out the original. You could see the thought process on his face..."um, what, DING!" "Oh, that's you..."
Ummm... was that your husband or your friend?
Um, that would have been our friend. My husband on the other hand was kind enough to, in the nicest way possible, tell me he wouldn't have given me the time of day then but still would have been nice to me. PFFFFT!!!! What was that about flowers again minstrel?

[Leisa]

Now we need the famous Leisa to do some side by side photos of both ronniethedodger and minstrel and see if ronniethedodger words are true and he really looks younger.

Maybe she could do some touch ups if you know what I mean Leisa

Here are a couple side by sides. For the sake of this debate I felt that perhaps accessorizing them equally would help everyone more easily reach a decision.

Cathcart is very pretty

I guess she will start getting the emails from the guys now that she put her picture up.

Thank you Janeth. You are too kind.

[janeth]

minstrel and the hat turned to the side really makes him look young.

Maybe he should use that picture.

Do you think it is because it covers up all the grey?

[janeth]

I also understood that carju1 was suppose to post a picture.

I think that information came from Minstrel but if he is not going to come fourth with his picture I guess we may have to make one for him also.

[minstrel]

I love that song
Searching backwards through the post trying to find where anyone last mentioned a song, I realized she was probably in mid-conversation with someone in that other world (Colombia) - I envision her husband or a friend passing by humming along to Barney's "I love you, you love me..." and Janeth, instead of answering, swivels back to her computer and types her response into whatever WPW thread happened to be there at the moment. In the background, Conversant A is saying, "Did you hear what I said?", as Janeth types, "Yes... I heard you... I was just answering you...".

So it goes in sunny climes at this time of year... or maybe it was the Jim Beam or the Tequila... or the chocolate...

[minstrel]

Regarding modification of pictures...

I just want to jump in and say that it isn't common practice to modify fellow members' photos. Just remember that what may be funny to you could be offensive to others. In order not to offend an individual it would be smart to get the member's approval before posting a modified picture of them.




Having said that, here is a modified picture of paulhiles. I have obtained his permission to post it so no fair getting offended! Kidding, it's your right, but please know the subject of the picture is ok with it.

I about fell out of my chair when I saw this. Never had a good laugh for a long time. Thanx Leisa.

The accessories do enable one to make some better decisions. I think the one in the lower right reminds me of Sluggo from that old comic strip called Nancy....while the one in the upper left looks more like someone you would see in that "One Flew..." movie with Jack Nicholson. The one in the lower left looks like some aging rap star from the 70's (before it was vogue and disco was the craze), and finally the one in the upper right looks like a lot like....omg...it is him....Cecil's little buddy Beanie !!!

yep...I remember him saying that now.

What you didn't hear was that he was humming it to
the tune of "Jose Cuervo, You are a Friend of Mine".

Explains his forgetfulness too, eh?

NOW - you know, the rest of the story !!!

[ronniethedodger]

How many people know the Little rascals real names?

How old where you when you first started wantching them minstrel?

I remember watching these guys a very long time ago. Reruns though...not the original theatre releases.

Let's see...there is Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Darla, Butch, Hymie, Petey (the dog), Froggie, can't remember Jackie Cooper's name, seems to me that Spanky had a younger brother (forgot his name)who hung around with Buckwheat most of the time and the teacher who every kid I knew had a crush on...Miss Crabtree....what a babe !!!

All the boys were in that exclusive club called the He-man Woman's Haters Club...their favorite meal was bread with piles of Grape Jelly oozing out of the sides of the slices...Darla, Butch, and Alfalfa was the notorious love triangle that drove the sex angle of the short films...while Butch knocking the block off of Alfalfa gave us the violence part...hmmmmm...that is about all I can remember.

Of course I do. They were people in giant animal costumes. When they talked...their mouths didn't move. Kinda like Barney is.

I remember them because I sat down once upon a time one Saturday morning when I was really little. My mother forgot about me until....oh, sometime late into the 70's. Zoo Revue was on by that time and some other show....Captain Puffenstuff or some silly name like that.

Take A Letter, Maria by R.b Greaves
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006BNDX.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Last night, as I got home, about a half past ten
There was the woman I thought I knew in the arms of another man.
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool. Let me tell ya what happened then.
I packed some clothes and I walked out ..and I ain't goin' back again.

Chorus
So take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home..gotta start a new life
Oh Take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer..gotta start a new life

You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And it's time like this I feel, you've always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights, to try to build a good life?
All work, and no play has just cost me a wife

Chorus
So take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home..gotta start a new life
Take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta have a new life

When a man loves a woman, it's hard to understand
That she would find pleasure in the arms of another man
I never really noticed, how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight, would you like to have dinner with me?

So take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home..gonna start a new life
Ohhhh, Take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer..Gonna have a new life
Take a letter Maria..address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home..fade out[/img]

I do not know who Frampton is although I may have herd some of his music but he looks a lot like he wants to be female to me.
His name is Peter Frampton,
he had a huge hit in 1976 [before you were born Janeth! ;-) ] with "Show me the way"

I wonder how your feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea
Who can I believe in
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force who do I phone
The stars are out and shining, but all I really want to know...
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you ...show me the way
Well, I can see no reason
You living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle
I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool to play my part
Well someone thought of healing, but all I really want to know...
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way
I want you day after day
I wonder if I'm dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can't believe this is happening to me
I watch you when you're sleeping,and then I want to take your love
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way
I want you day after day
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way
I want you day after day

[janeth]

It sounds like he was lost and really wanted someone to show him the way

Maybe that was the reason for all the make up.

I do not think you look like him Paul

I'm sorry ....but maybe if you put on some makeup I can take another look

[minstrel]

He was really just a kid when he first made it big and by all acounts his live performances were much better than his studio efforts - hence, "Frampton Comes Alive", a two record set that pretty much everyone owned sooner or later (well, except Janeth). The other big hit from that album was "Oooh baby I love your ways" - both heavy on wah-wah guitar and voice-wah... ;o)


January, 2001 will mark the 25th anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive! One of the most respected guitar players of all time, Peter Frampton has always made challenging, interesting, and critically acclaimed albums. Beginning with British bands The Herd and Humble Pie, Frampton quickly cemented his status as a world-class guitar god. Commercial success struck big in 1976 when his immortal Frampton Comes Alive! quickly became the biggest selling album of all time.

Not a teenager in the 70s didn't own a copy of his Frampton Comes Alive, the best-selling live album of all time. Just the name Frampton alone is legendary, as his career has spanned three, going on four decades. Starting in the sixties with the Herd, then rising to fame with Humble Pie, and finally attaining a wildly successful solo career in the mid-70s, Peter Frampton is still coming alive in the 90s. His most recent projects include a performance with the British Rock Symphony in New York City, two tours with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band, an appearance on VH-1's Hard Rock Live series, his 1998 tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd, an appearance on the Simpsons as himself, and two songs he recorded for an upcoming Walt Disney Records project, Tigger Mania.
He was interviewed a few weeks ago on one of the Ottawa radio programs called (HONEST!) "Middle-Aged Bald Guys Talking Rock'n'Roll". He's now just released or is just about to release a new album but spends most of his time doing movie scores and such and touring with other bands from that era...

A couple years back he appeared in the movie called "Almost Famous" which also had Goldie Hawn's daughter in it...Kate Hudson.

He also did the guitar instruction and score for the movie. The actors has to actually learn how to play the guitar for the live concert footage in the movie.

Yup...I too owned his Comes Alive album...and went to one of his concerts. I remember it as being one of the best that I ever attended. Right up there in showmanship like Jimmy Buffet...but Buffet is more of story teller than a rocker.

So I dug up this pic of Robert MacNaughton....he played Elliot's older brother in the movie ET.

YEA! You mean to tell me the entire populous of your school was GQ material too? That must have been one heck-uv-a place!!! :)

You know, that two-color thing is pretty trendy. I remember wearing two different colored socks (two colors on each foot) and rolling them down so both colors would show.

Oh, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who had the "I can see better if they're bigger" cool glasses!!

Thanks for joining the fun!

What is that exactly anyway? All this time I have been thinking that it was hair. I keep staring at it and can't place my finger on what that is on top of his head...Brittany cropped it too close I guess. They almost look like sunglasses.

[janeth]

.Brittany cropped it too close I guess. They almost look like sunglasses.

Or horns ? ? ? ? ?

[Leisa]

I fear you are right. One question though, does the kindness in his eyes in the second photo negate the mischievous look in the first? I mean, Paul's pics all looked a little, well, troubling!
Hehe.. I prefer to call it consistency! ;-)
maybe Mik's suggestion of makeup (or a makeover) is really what I need? LOL!!

Reagarding wclew "the Innocent(?)"...


I think the glasses are covering it up Leisa! I still see MISCHIEF there! It was planned if not enacted.
Mischief INSIDE of mischief? Oh this is a new problem altogether.

If my glasses weren't soo big you woundn't be able to see my eyes so well with my extra cool dark tinting on top. lol.

No way dude! There's simply too much mischief behind those glasses to hide it all! Wouldn't matter what kind of frames you put on them.

I remember those eyes from back in the old school days. (Of course that takes allot, because that was a looooooooooong time ago!) Sittin' back in the corner trying to act all innocent and "Who ME?" like, and all the while, there was something brewing there! Plotting to overthrow the world, one jumped in mud puddle at a time type!

You know come to think of it, you even look like that guy that used to do that in my class! You didn't by chance ever live in Lake City, FL did you clew?

If this guy is who everyone is saying he is...then wouldn't it stand to reason that he would indeed be the guy in the rear of your class in Lake City, FL?
And the guy in Rapid City?

And the guy in Fargo?

And the guy in PS #666?

[rocky1]

Yep Ronnie... you know the one I'm talking about... quiet little feller in the back of the room, smiling innocently, lookin off at the ceiling someplace when you turned around to see who just splatted you behind the ear with that spitball! Then when you turned back around real quick, you either caught him doubled over in fits of laughter, or loading another round to botch you with!

I've seen the type over and over, and I don't know what Leisa's waitin' for with those horns, eh!

[wclew]

Actually now since you pointed that out. There are some other differences between you and Arnold's buddy...he wears a sweater over a buttoned shirt most of the time. Not very stylish at all. You were way cooler, dude !!!

Thanks Ronnie, I didn't want to have to point that out myself. Haha.

I don't know Lisa.... Given earlier discussion of the eyes being windows to the soul, that first pic of wclew up there looks a might mischievious, don't you think? It might look interesting up side that one picture of Paul, if you know what I mean!


I fear you are right. One question though, does the kindness in his eyes in the second photo negate the mischievous look in the first?


I think the glasses are covering it up Leisa! I still see MISCHIEF there! It was planned if not enacted.

Rocky, the time has come for me to admit that I was wrong. I was really wrong. I didn't see the mischief behind those eyes but you, oh wise one, did. I thought, well, why not just throw on some of those horns and see what's what. Weeeeellll, they fit like a glove and it brought to light your keen observation. Please accept my apology and proof that you were right:

Not only that...holy cow !!! This guy grew up deceiving all around him.

If I don't miss my guess on this one, that is a Horn Cap. He is hiding those horns. And by the looks of things...he has more than just one too.

This is hideous...I am shocked that this has only now just come to light.

Leisa,
You've got me all wrong! You were right to begin with, that was kindness you were seeing in my eyes. I am completely innocent. I'm... I'm... Oh, what's the use? There is no sense in denying it any more. You guys have got me all figured out, I was as ornery as they come. I have to give Rocky credit though, he is truly wise and has an amazing gift for reading people. Remind me not to play poker with him. ;)

Rocky,
That description is so close to what I was like in school that it is scary. I had that whole "Who me?" innocent look down to an art form. :) I don't know how you figured that out from a couple of pictures but I'm pretty sure that if the fishing industry doesn't work out for you then you've got a promising future as a criminal profiler. Haha. As long as I'm being honest here I just as well tell you though that it was not me in your classroom in Florida, I'm too young, that must've just been one of my "kindred spirits." lol. And, I'm certainly too young to be the one in the back of Ronnie's one-room country schoolhouse! Ha Ha Ha

[ronniethedodger]

And, I'm certainly too young to be the one in the back of Ronnie's one-room country schoolhouse! Ha Ha Ha

yep, you are probably right about that. Must of been your great-grand-pappy. But I will have you know, it was a two-room schoolhouse. I lived in the big city, and even had indoor plumbing and a W.C. too boot. ;0)

See, you can't judge a book by it's two covers!

Sorry wclew, I didn't mean to imply that I disliked the 'untrustworthy looking because they look trustworthy' types, in fact, that 'look' can be used to great advantage and deviousness, and on our teem, that's MVP material.

Rule of thumb: Rules are for women to follow, so let's get the shirts, the scotch, do a quick 3 S's, and scoot!

We're bad, esp. me and w.c. :o)

Did you manually translate that quotation of Mariah's or is it a translation from a website?

[mikmik]

ldyguique queries thus
Did you manually translate that quotation of Mariah's or is it a translation from a website?

I am a big fan of using google 'Language Tools', but with some languages, like Dutch, for instance, I have to do it one word at a time with an online dicyionary which I find using, you guessed it, Google! The french translator handled Mariah straight across with one 'copy'n'paste'. I know barely enough French from my Immersion days - ages 9 through 11, and a grade ten course that I somehow passed, to fumble through rudimentary discourse and to 'estimate' the translations I get from Google for accuracy.

Funny, I was just talking with a collegue about Google being a valuable resourse these days. Indispesible! ( Internet resourses and searches, in any event - Googoo or otherwise)

Now quit calling my bluffs, I will never play at the same poker table as yo! :o)

Foiled again. I guess women are not as squeamish as they were in the older days...you know mice, spiders, ear-wax!

Now-a-days we have mice next to our keyboards and spiders crawling through our sites. I wonder what Leisa is using the ear-wax for? Which raises the question if she recycles belly-button lint too....another equally disgusting thought...yuck! :-(

"We-wease... the secwet... WEAPON!" (what was the name of that movie?)
Um, Space Jam? That's what came to mind first.
No... it was an animated movie by the guy who previously worked for Disney and then left to do his own thing (Don Bluth maybe?) - his first movie was "The Secret of Nimh" - this was his next one, all about immigrant mice in turn-of-the-century New York trying to defend themselves against cats.

Okay - found it: it was Don Bluth and the movie was "An American Tail" - he also did Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Rock-a-Doodle, etc., and most recently Dragon's Lair.

We couldn't locate the picture I had in mind, but these are pretty good.

On the right, in B&W, is pic of moi + sister - about 6 and 3.5 respectively, maybe plus about a year. It is relevant thus: first recorded evidence of mikmik charming a 'woman' with 'made up facts'.
It's been all downhill ever since :O)


The color pic, on left(try to keep up, people lol), doesn't show my overbite/buck teeth very well, but shows me at about age 11 or 12.
Relevance: I havent had a haircut for about 1 or 2 years - from the brushcut sporting day when my parents uttered the fateful words, "Mikmik (Michael!), we have decided that , yes, you are now old enough to decided for yourself how to style (!) your own hair. It's been all downhill ever since lol.

Also about this time, a major character shaping event in my development occured.
My dad took me shopping for jeans and we were in the Boys Wear section of the Hudson's Bay. An older woman clerk came up and asked what we were looking for. I replied that I wanted pants that had the biggest flares in stock. She smiled and said, "We get lots of girls in here looking for pants"!!!
I managed to vehemently squeek at her, "I'm not a girl !" as I fled, bawling uncontrolablely from the scene!

Sigh...It's been all downhill ever since :O)

------------------------------

Of course...if you take all of the hair on your face
and attach it to the hair you have on the back of
your head -- it would look something like this.

Hey Ronnie. Anyone ever tell you, you're a fine looking guy!

[Alan J]

Or better still, if I could take my head off, turn it upside down I wouldn't need to shave and I could look 25 again!

Yup!!! Get that all the time.

You must be tired of hearing that yourself too, eh? ;0)

Sure do - its gotten so bad I can only go out at night. Neighbours now think my real surname must be Dracula.

[ronniethedodger]

They say folk (especially women - no offence ladies) look better after a 'good few'. It's either that mikmik or I haven't had as hard a life as I thought!

After you have "had a few" take the woman into
one of those 24-hour Quicky Marts before going
home! You gotta figure that if they still look
good underneath those bright lights, then you
can pretty much bet they will be looking pretty
much the same the following morning. ;0)

Problem is we are not as lucky as you yanks - we don't have 24-hour Quickie Marts. Your lucky if your town has got a 24-hour petrol station never mind a grocery store! Nope, you just gotta find somebody sober and ask if he would like to swap places with ya!

[mikmik]

Alan J is close to brilliance with :

Yes, a great idea, and hopefully the 'mono brow' look would still hold sway - even if it was under your one eye.

Guess I'll need to change my name to cyclops!

[captain john]

So I thought I would get on the boat
http://www.michigansportfishing.com/misc_pics.htm

The first pic is me in 1971
The next in 1987
and the last 2003

The only pics I could find had fish in them. Hmmm must say something about me.

[ronniethedodger]

It says that you should never display these pictures
side by side. It gives the illusion that every year
the fish that you catch are getting smaller. ;0)

[Nargule]

Ok, I am up to the challenge. I guess this would also be an oppertunity to post a current pic for my Avatar.

I gotta dig through some yearbooks, see if I can find some with my picture. I am not in a lot of my own yearbooks, 'cause of my lackluster attendance.

As a matter of fact, if you look up hooky in the dictionary do you know whom's picture you'd see - not mine, I didn't show up that day :)

[ronniethedodger]

...that's the most ridiculous thing that I ever hoid!

That makes him another recruit for our side!

[minstrel]

...and by "our side", Mik, of course, means the Testosterone Helmets, as opposed to the Estrogen Berets...

[ronniethedodger]

..uh...is that the best you can come up with Minstrel?

Something about that sounds a little funny...if
you know what I mean. ;0)

[mikmik]

(continued from minstrel)...as opposed to the 'innocent bystanders'...

[mikmik]

ronniethedodger =

I suggest "Knobs"

It really has a double meaning that the 'Estro's'
may get a kick out off,

The admins may get a kick out of the kicking out of -and the 'Testro's' ....

Okay, I take it back. Bad idea.

[minstrel]

I was trying to think of headgear a little more masculine-sounding than "berets"... and "toques" didn't seem to cut it... also rejected "toupees"... that ran me out of alliteration...

maybe it's time for another contest? or concept?

The Androgen Army?
The Beer Brigade?

[ronniethedodger]

We do have a Captain among us now. So
it does qualify us as a Brigade I would
think. Beer Brigade sounds good.

We have a Minstrel among us now. Even
Spartacus had a song singer, and he had
an Army...so Androgen Army sounds good.

My first thought was The Big Red One, but
that is regressing back to the same sentiments
I had about helmets.

We can just be called "The Dudes" which is
kinda kewl...most of us are just dudes anyway.
At least I think we are all dudes...I should say.

One of my more stupider ones was the "TesteTubes"
and I gave up on that one really quick.

I dunno....sounds like we are in a dillema here.

[minstrel]

The Man Show? (is that only in Canada?)

[wclew]

I dunno....sounds like we are in a dillema here.
I got one for us, the "Fargin Bastages"!



Rule of thumb: Rules are for women to follow, so let's get the shirts, the scotch, do a quick 3 S's, and scoot!

We're bad, esp. me and w.c. :o)
(By the way, good job on the letter's thing. Can you tell me what we're saying, later?)

I think we were talking about Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, & Johnny Walker Red Label...you know the 3 wise men's liquors. How am I doing so far? ;)

[ronniethedodger]

The Man Show? (is that only in Canada?)

Nope...get that down here too. Didn't they just change hosts too?

A good quote from a Canadian (Steve Martin is Canadian isn't he?) is "We are manly-men who do menly things !!!" I think that was from those two wild and crazy guys, him and Akroyd.

It just hit me ----> "The Akroydian Alliance"

[mikmik]

ronniethedodger proposed thus:

Hmmm...Sinister ring to it, initials = AA, hmmmm
Looks good to me!
Who's in charge of the "Ale" division?
Not to mention, alcohol, Amaretto (office types)

[ronniethedodger]

Hmmm...Sinister ring to it, initials = AA, hmmmm

Yep...better drop the word "THE" from it too.
Might start calling us something foo-fooey
like the taa-taa's or something.

I guess I have been associated with worse .

If you guys are having a hard time trying to think of what you want to call each other let me know.

I'm sure us girls can be of some help
