The posters on this board are a varied and fascinating crew (aren't we?), and I often find myself wondering what the rest of you looked like when you were kids. NOT, for all kinds of obvious reasons, what you look like now, but as you were in adolescence. After all, we know what Tim looked like then (if you don't, consult his own rogue's gallery in his story department). And most of us are old enough to be sure that nobody could identify us in our present state from photos of us as kids; well, certainly that's true of me - I didn't have a beard when I was 13. Or 18 - it wasn't allowed at school.
So this is a general request, made with Tim's approval, that everyone who's willing and able should dig out a photo of himself aged between 13 and 18 and send it as a jpeg by email to Tim, who will build the results into a rogue's gallery, each picture labelled e.g. 'Mihangel at 13', and post it on the board. It need hardly be said that nobody will mind at all if anyone is reluctant to reveal their earlier (or even in one case their present?) self, or if their archives have been destroyed in a fit of iconoclasm.
But I reckon the result could be rather fun.

Dammit, why do headlines always attract the typos? NOT Galley where you slave at the oars, or Galley where you slave at the stove, but Gallery, as in Art. Of course.

I like this idea. Should it be a part of the SITE or the MESSAGE BOARD?
I mean I can create a page ONLY linked to from the messagebaord and NOT included in the site search engine, OR include it in the site proper.
Totally optional. PLEASE no-one feel pressured to do this.
Er, I'll start it off here for fun, and create a REAL page later.

I think it's a fun idea, too! I suggest making it a page linked to the MB, as it's really an MB thing, mostly.
All my pics of myself are in Hong Kong. I thinnk I have them scanned. Can't remember. Damned Geezerish memory...hehehe
I sure was much more cute back then, so it works for that reason, too!

"god...you guys are all so old"
*blush*
Just what I needed to hear, Brian... I'll turn thirty in another four days and I'm like totally in shambles over it. Cripes, what would I not give to be seventeen again...!
Enjoy your youth as best you can, man. I did not I'm sad to say, and it is something I regret every day that passes me by.
Anyway, I find the gallery idea an interesting one. I may have some pictures lying around at my parents' place, I'll have a buddy of mine scan them and I might be able to show my, eh, "lost self" to you all.

I'd prefer it were not in the search engine/normal web site Rogue's Gallery - a little more "protected", please, I mean. I want to participate, but I'm shy, especially since I'm not "out" to anyone and don't think the church or PTA, both of which I volunteer for, would be impressed. That is sad, isn't it, that we have to be so paranoid. But, my family has to come first.

It's there, it's live. I will work a little more on the format. I'll also ask megaman if we can work out how to add the pictures and description instead to the AUTHOR PROFILE instead of to a separate page. But, for fun, it's there now. Find the link and go!.

while the page is linked to from the messageboard, it is not linked to from the site. Nor is it in the search engine on the site. it is posisble, but I think unlikely that (eg) Google will find it, but we will only know that in 6 weeks or so. I'm setting the robot spider blocker to disallow access to it

It was 1969!!! And actually, my life pretty much sucked back then. So much for idealizing my own lost youth,,,LOL!
I didn't meet my Thai guy until I was almost 40, so the best years may yet be coming, friend!! Despair not!
At any rate, 50 feels fine, at least after the first 12 hours!
Party tonight!! YAY!!!

Hehe. Well, nice to see you are in a good mood, congratulations are in order I should think! Like, happy birthday or something! (Even if I'm late.)
And yeah, it is kinda hopeless to wish oneself back into the past. My seventeenth year of life wasn't very nice at all, but if I had a second shot at it, maybe I could have made it better. Ah well, it won't happen, I just have to accept it.

Steve - you sure look a *lot* like a Steve who worked for me for awhile a few years ago. The LAST person I would expect on this board, however. Very conservative and homophobic as well, from the deep south.
Brian - I love the hair. I always wanted really long hair but never had it. Cute smile, too.
I sent in photos so you can laugh at me, too, eventually.

Trevor, sorry to disappoint you. Unfortunately, I don't think that we have ever met other than virtually. At any rate, for better or for worse, let me clarify that I have never been privileged to visit the USA - so far in my life. Yes, I was originally from the deep south - of London, England !
P.S. Do you need any workers now? Just asking. -:))

Sorry. I'm Information Technology middle management, which currently means unemployed! I did hire a very nice, and cute, South African out of England - took me over a year, but he was worth it - very competent - that is.

http://www.davidcassidy.com ? I hope you don't mean Danny Bonaduce! I understand David was an absolute slut - or whatever the appropriate hetro term is, but my female classmates loved him. Thanks, Tim, for something to smile about today.
