Before and After

[Bread]

Mudcat you've been a mess longer than half these kids have been alive.

[pavyracer]

Now I know most people here wonder if I have always been the soul of fashion or if it is something I developed later in life. This pic will clearly show that it has been in the family genes from the start.

Me and my bro and sis circa 1970 (??)

Was this picture taken before or after the Star Wars movies? I can see Princess Leah in the picture, at least her wardrobe.

[Fishhead]

Top notch thread here.........

[Matt Rain]

This is a "before and after" thread Fishy, we need to see some vintage FH.

[Mudcat]

Me 2003:

I could imagine durito playing the dulcimer at Woodstock.

It's true. I have a dysfunction that spans generations, a fukked-up-ness for the ages.

Less wise-cracking. More pic posting.





Should there be pics there Archie? I don't see them.

[Chi_archie]

oh crap, I thought I learned how to post pics.... I hit the little picture icon and copied and pasted them from a flickr address?????

[Mudcat]

I hope you're not looking for answers from me. I don't know what flickr is. My only answer is, figure it out and get them up man!

Sorry Mudcat. My parents were so poor they didn't have a camera. And when they finally bought a used one they couldn't afford film.

[Chi_archie]

Now you see? This is why people thought/think you aren't going to show at the bash.

[betplom]

Yes, was a seasonal driver for the TTC/Gray Coach from 1988-1991.

Used to drive mostly Toronto to Buffalo, including St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Fort Erie. Was a fun gig while it lasted.

Pavy show us a before

[Mudcat]

Interesting. I was just told that in this pic, I look like the illegitimate, inter-racial love child of Forrest Whitaker.

I kind of see it.

I am not kidding. There probably exist less than 10 pictures of me from when I was younger than 18. My parents didn't even know how to use a camera when they got one. True story.

[Willie Bee]

I'm still the same cheerfully chubby guy I've always been.

Me at about 9 months


Me at 30ish


Me last Christmas

Information gleaned so far in this thread:

- Mudcat was a stoner with a menacing serial killer look during his college days. He outgrew that to look like your average husband, father and grandfather, despite the current clenched-teeth bravado.

- Matt Rain used and still uses his talents to impress the ladies.

- Betplom drove a bus but also has a class A licence, which means he's good to go with big tractor-trailers. The person seen in the Kensington market with poster Buzzy was NOT Betplom.

- Durito is a hiker/adventure seeker. Hikers have my respect. Went out for the day with a group one time. I had powerful legs from years of cycling, figured it'd be no problem. After three hours (much of it upmountain), I wanted to sit down and rest for a bit. Break time! Nope, they were like the energizer bunny, just kept going and going. Didn't want to be a pussy so I said nothing, just toughed it out. Mountain climbers and the like are fit.

- Diogee's before pics would put him in diapers. Guy looks young.

- Nicky looks 15 years younger with strands of dead animal glued to his head.

- Sickler needs a scanner.

- Bread is mocking the before & after idea.

- Fishhead doesn't play by the rules. Doesn't want to dredge-up memories from long ago. There must be a pic of a younger Fishhead in the cornfield at night, guarding the crop from the nasty coons.

- Chi_Archie doesn't age much.

- Pavyracer was raised in extreme poverty. He's overcome that to being in the position for a weekend in Vegas.

Thanks Willie. You win so far for most years between each pic.

What I see is an uncanny resemblance to Billy Mumy.

[Bread]

Great synopsis, Sickler. You're a wonderful synopsizer.

[sickler]

Thanks Bread, I'm brief and to the point.

I ain't no General.....
