Wow, somebody took a can away from me. I'm sorry for making your eyeballs droopy and sad, touamb. I heard that vinegar works wonders, though.

Everybody that post a picture gets a can from me.  I'd like to give doc hell of cans for having such an adorable lady friend.

Well, womb@, there are a couple of reasons why you misunderstood...

1.) Though I have gathered you are slightly older than me, I am far and long from being one of "The Kids These Days". I reckon that at... eight years after your high school class graduates, no one is a Kid These Days anymore. Eight years is how long it would take for one of your high school classmates to become a doctor or a lawyer if they never took any time off, right?

That seems like a decent measure and I am two years older than a decent measure. I might still be a young adult, especially by this generations' standards, but a kid... I'm long beyond kid.

2.) Even though I am six-and-a-half-feet-tall and quite broad shouldered, being somewhere around 300-310 pounds still makes me insanely self-conscious about my looks. I am not a very fat man but fat enough where I see pictures of myself and see a fat man.

3.) I live in a town where Basically Everything surrounds themselves with pictures of themselves as if they are worshipping idols of themselves. Headshots, posters, myspaces, facebooks... people living as if the footprint they leave on this Earth will be how many pictures of them shall survive their death. I am subconsciously rebelling against this.

Hmm, now do I feel like I'm so old that the waiter just carded me as an attempt at a flattering joke?

You're still of the age that I expect These Young Adults Today to have digital pictures of themselves. And trust me, you don't have to be a dude of gravity to hate yourself in pictures. I keep wondering if I should go back and delete one of my own links, myself.

Go on, TAKE a picture. We don't expect everyone to look like dreamy post-copulatory Nabu. That's probably not even really a picture of him.

You are Beef. As are we all.

I don't dare put up a pic either. I fear negative cans.

This is a little jpg that we took for our corporate intranet (hence the sort of awkward inclusion of the device in my hand).  I'm bringing the science though, damnit!
I think I've already flashed this link before to a pic from my Flickr.  It features two of the frequent characters in my stories...

Dudes.

I snapped a photo of me looking crunky sitting at the kitchen table at the end of a long day and posted it in like 8 minutes. No one has set me on fire.

The bar is pretty low here and the audience receptive. Go for it.

True!  I didn't even berate you for having a moustache and no beard.  Only Paul is allowed to do that.

I am one of These Kids Today who has his whole life documented in digital pictures. Except for the really awesome bits, because I'm usually busy then. Sadly, I'm also an awful photographer, but for the purposes of this thread that's not really a problem because I find taking photos of myself a bit strange anyway.

Anyway.

Contemplative on a park bench in Ely.
Inviting "tosser" jokes.

I swear I've seen you in Cambridge before.

I put a little of me in each post.   Maybe it's to publicly shame myself for the William Shatner bj icon I used for so long.

Here's a bonus pic from a contest I won a while back

You live near Ely? That is the town of my ancestors. My gene pool is from Ely. Youre near my gene pool... swimming in it.

Worlds collide.

So what you're telling me here is that your gene pool is famous for its eels?

Wait... did you just... drink your own gene pool?  Can you... can you... do that?  (Insert joke about having ribs removed here)

The three pictures of me that exist on line have all been posted here previously, so it'd be silly to repost them.  There already out there... in the ether man!
