The what the hell you actually look like thread

Sure, sure what's the kid got in his cup, whiskey?

Yeah but it's probably only been aged 6-8 years! Who drinks that swill?

 

[Stumpydave]

I've tried to post a pic twice now but have been beaten back by tech issues or the inability to look at my face staring back at me.
Still, third times the charm - this is my work pic, only I don't know where any of this grey hair came from. I'm still 23 dammit!!!!!

 

[Picaroon Jack]

I've posted some of me in the LARP! thread and maybe some reenacting ones, but here's one that more typical:



Here's me wrangling students to dress up this past Tuesday:

 

[Fenris-77]

Glasses and a beard. You can stay.

 

[AsenRG]

Glasses and a beard. You can stay.

I was planning to shave it away, though!

 

[Picaroon Jack]

I'm working on the gray beard aesthetic.

Mine is stubbornly staying brown, although the snow on my mountains advances relentlessly.

 

[CRKrueger]

Where’s the Ballock Dagger and Sgian Dubh, man?

Edit: my son lookin like he up to no good in that pic lol

ROFL, he does!

He's trying to decide, "Car or Dad?" with regards to the rock in his hands.

 

[Acmegamer]

We all seem to have glasses! I knew it! We’re all neeeeeerrrds!

Post fifty, don't most of us?

 

[Acmegamer]

OK, here's mine. First one was from October 2015, I'd had a planned trip down to Florida from Tennessee but unfortunately one of those cold front's kicked in and about two hours down the road I decided, "Fuck that". I need heated grips, heated seat and better gear for this level of nasty. Turned back around and after thawing out at a gas station with a cup of coffee and came home. My old Army buddy who I was going down to see thought I'd simply not gotten up. lol So I sent him this picture of my still defrosting self.




Most recent picture is from last March at a gaming friends house. He was showing me the map to a war board game that he had. I don't recall the name of it. Anyhow you can tell the time frame due to my flipping my mask down for the camera. lol As a month before my major surgery.

Edit: Also part of the bearded glasses brigade. lol. The glasses became requirement post 40 and the beard not long afterward once the hair starting thinning.

You resemble a biker wizard. Which is incredibly awesome.

Thanks! I'll take that! Beats the old blonde haired surfer look I had for the first 40 years, no one took me seriously! Anyhow, it was a couple months after that trip I traded that bike in for returning to one that had a fairing, heated grips and heated seat for my old ass. lol

 

[Atelerix]

Am I a human becoming more like my schnauzers, or a schnauzer who figured out zippers? I can't remember...

 

[Spellslinging Sellsword]

Me on my lunch walk last week. The red in my beard is being overcome by white. lol

Was it possibly The War Game: World War II? (As printed on the map right in front of you?)

Nice photos. Hope you’re doing well after the surgery.

You shop at Bath & Body Orks! That’s hardcore gaming nerd!

That seems highly unlikely. Probably a Nazi trick!

Yes, that was the name. My friend referred to it as a turbo charged version of Axis & Allies or something like that. And I am thanks for asking!

Are you in Ann Arbor in that picture?

 

[Voros]

Sorry y'all the earlier post was a joke this is actually me.



(deep cut inside joke)

THIS is actually me and a close friend just chillin'.

 

[Spellslinging Sellsword]

No, Columbus, OH. Go Buckeyes, beat Michigan!

 

[Endless Flight]

No, Columbus, OH. Go Buckeyes, beat Michigan!

Didn’t go so well.

 

[Spellslinging Sellsword]

It didn't.

Sorry! It looked like a part of Ann Arbor with the train trestle and trail.

No problem.

I'm not posting my pic, and I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I would bet on me being part of the glasses-and-beard brigade.

Beard that's currently more red than grey, but it's a losing battle...

It's always a losing battle. The bastards have stacked the odds against us!

I don't wear a beard because the last time I did, it came in white down one side. One of my friends commented that it looked like I blew a sailor and didn't stop to freshen up.

 

[Rob Necronomicon]

I never take photos of myself.

But here's happy little me (it's a few years old).

What's the name of the band you were singing in? (if you don't mind sharing)

 

[Rob Necronomicon]

Not at all... It was a Dublin-based Hard Core Punk band called Krocodil. Sadly no longer as I moved way out to the stix.

 

[Shipyard Locked]

Being the paranoid-anxious sort these days, I don't like posting anything as clearly identifying as a photo on forums... anymore. It's an unpleasant story, but at least I was only a bystander and not the victim that time. Let's just say I saw what angry, motivated people can do with that sort of info when they lose arguments.

That said, I've probably left way too many personal clues in my writing on this forum anyway, so if anyone really wants to stalk me they'd figure it out.

My students once said I look like a younger, slightly darker Steve Carell with perpetual bed-hair. I DON'T see that at all when I look in the mirror (maybe when I grimace?), but it's the best you're getting out of me.

lol, we're pretty musically backward out here. You were in a Punk band in Dublin, I didn't know Punk existed until joining the Pub!

Never bearded. Just doesn’t fill in. Hair is growing back to this longer version

Feeling a little under the weather today.
