BUZZ....Wow I had to look at your picture on the couch, several times to finally believe you were a guy ..... 8)tee hee    Your graduation photo looks almost like mine although I'm female...We had the same "feathered" hairdo, you must have graduated in the late 70's or very early 80's?!? You kinda had that Peter Frampton look about ya!!

[Murf]

Ok, Buzz, I managed ta find a coupla pictures of me for your viewing pleasure.



First is the early years.  :D     My second Christmas, which was 1965. I'm the one on the right, and no, not the one with the hands clasped together either.  :D



Then 40 years later ........ Dats me an Deputy Dog in front'a da fire.

Now Charlie, thems some interestin' photos ya got there, and it seems poor Tom got some a dat fading beard colouring too DanG it all anyways. Must been a coupla bad batches, seems most of us got some of dat stuff.  :D

[DanG]

Murf, that "fading beard colouring" is called patina.  It is a sure-fire sign of a man in his prime, as opposed to those with all those various juvenile "colours" who only think they're in their prime. ;D

[Murf]

Dat's a good theory DanG.  ;D

I asked one a da fellers at coffee hour(s) dis mornin about it, he's got a beard sorta like yers.

He claims he wore da colour plumb off it from rubbin' it and pullin' on it when he's cogitatin' over sumat.  :

Murf, that "fading colouring" is called patina.  It is a sure-fire sign of a man in his prime

So what's it called on a woman???  I don't like the idea of telling people I have a patina.

Can I just call it "bottle blonde"?

asy :D

[Buzz-sawyer]

Hey Charlie ...good lookin pics...I guess you been savin up for a while ????
And thanks for peer presuring ole Murf into a post ;)

[Buzz-sawyer]

BUZZ....Wow I had to look at your picture on the couch, several times to finally believe you were a guy ..... 8)tee hee    Your graduation photo looks almost like mine although I'm female...We had the same "feathered" hairdo, you must have graduated in the late 70's or very early 80's?!?

Laurel

Well thanks for the comment...BUT if our graduation photos are lookin alike I GOTTA SEE THAT!

[DanG]

Asy, it is still called patina.  You can't fake it, no matter how much money you spend...it's gotta be earned.  Honest is what it's all about.  Purely natural is the only way to be.

We came across this photo on SWMBO's hard drive so I though it was time to ressurect this thread.

Anchorage Alaska circa 1968, posing with my first fish.  Good this Ling Cod doesn't fight.


I'll have to dig around and find the one or two photo's I allowed to be taken of me during my High School years...
Until then just picture Cartman from south park at 17 with hair halfway to his belt.

Fast forward to 1996 and my "first date" (of two?) with Debbie who is now SWMBO

We're dressed a bit casual for dating but it was the second or third day of the "date"...  Here's one more from later on
in the same "date" at my brother's wedding showing the profound effects this kind dating can have on hair.


Christmas 1996, my new SIL Sarah, brother Matthew, Debbie and myself.


This is a more recent photo showing off my usual hair style as well as a little photoshop finesse.  That's not a staff I'm leaning on but a chain link safety fence with all the links edited away.

[Radar67]

Raphael,
  You sort of resemble the old dude from "Roadhouse" in his younger days.

Stew

[Buzz-sawyer]

Hey good pics fellas.....one thing in common....ya both love your families....oh, and the hair :D :D
Anyone else???

[KGNC]

This was me doing what I do best:



For some reason I seem to be eating in most of my photos.
I can't find any when I had the mop on my head and the hairly face. Maybe no one wanted to see me like that.

Here's one from last winter.

[Buzz-sawyer]

I have an old pepsi bottle like that sitting around.....I used to get my spending money collecting those ;)

[Burlkraft]

Tcsmpsi........What's in those cigarettes ??? ??? :D :D

[Daren]

I remember this thread from along time ago. I kept my head nearly shaved for many years. I had a set of shears, I'd just buzz it off every couple weeks. I worked outside in the sun alot and started getting spots on my forehead that would bleed when I got sunburned again (can you say melanoma ?) I wore a hat when I could, but they gave me a head ache so I decided to quit shaving my head for protection from the sun. It just dawned on me, I am one of those long haired freaks. I have not touched the shears for 2 years now.

Yeah, that is definately an old pic.  :D Trouble is, I remember those Pepsi bottles too. 10 cents from the horizontal coolers.

[Buzz-sawyer]

My favorite, was a tall 16 oz orange crush.....there weas a rack on the side of the machine to put the empty bottles in too

[Stamp]

Well, wildflower looks the same as she did back then, but Jeff...not so much.  Is Tammy flipping folks off in their wedding photo?

[Jeff]

Hard life.  ;D    Thats Tammy's pointy finger Ada. The caption on that photo is really accurate. There was a guy over in the culligan man's driveway doing mutiple donuts. Thats what we were looking at. Probably one of the people that didn't have the guts at the beginning of the service to answer the question "If there is anyone here that thinks this man and woman should not.... :D

[DWM II]

I just read thru and figured out why I have been learning so much from you folks here. Must have something to do with older and wiser ;). All the pics from the 70-80s remind me of my parents :D. Sure is cool to put some faces to the names.
