Er mer gerd, that's like retro Face in Hole!

I'm so glad that you two, and half of my friends on Facebook, are half my age. Otherwise, I'd have no idea how to speak Scandinavian. :)

:oldsurprised: Er mer gerd. Who's idea was it to reinstitute the "Old School" smilies?
Whomever it was: :bow:
It's been dreadful, in the interim, spelling out, that it's nap time... :sleep:

Note that we are in Florida and this is not real snow, but this is my wife at a Christmas display we saw last week, and it is now my favorite picture of her ever, and should be on billboards all around the country... If looking at this picture causes you to fall in love with my wife, and hence become consumed with envy for my present situation, I don't really blame you at all. She really is as magical as she looks in this picture.

I think, once in the past, that you described her, and, I was so enamored by her description, that I warned you, that I might come and kill you, as, I then wanted her, as my wife.

I believe, you responded, something to the effect, that you were used to it.

Now that I've seen her, you may want to seriously consider, body armor.

hmmm... You appear to have changed, over your many years.
Unfortunately, I didn't find PF until I was about 47, so no one got to see my physiological transitions.

So, for the sake of science, a picture of me, at 15:

Om.probably.15.jpeg


ps. My sister did a DNA test sometime over the last 6 months. I thought it was a waste of money, as it was obvious, to me, from the image, that we are 98% Neanderthal.

wow, pretty old thread. I guess some updates would be nice!:wink:

P.S.
Just like those old American films Om.
Well, I guess you're both old and American, so no surprise!

The baby picture from the 50's with the family tree at the old homestead near Calvert Texas.
My mom is wearing blue holding me. Far right is my great grandmother (part Tawakoni, Tonkawa, or Waco tribe) next is the grandmother wearing red holding my little sister.

The picture was taken by my brother. And given his age (Om + 4), he would have been in photography class. So the Black & White kind of makes sense. We had to develop our own film. Dreadful process. It was much worse if you got into color photography. I tried it once. Once was enough.

Actually, the maths doesn't work out, as that would have made him 19, and that's a bit old. So I'm guessing now that I was about 13 or 14.

ps. The best picture of me, from the last 10 years:

This is like, 14 pictures, all put together, from my life.
Only, all the women, were, my mom.
She was all smiley with the first one, but, by the time my little brother was born, 10 year later, she had your grandmother's look.

I believe, the kids nowadays have a name for it: Er mehr gerd...

Nice. I went to university down the road from Calvert. I used to pass through Calvert quite often while traveling 6.

ZZ Top got it right, 6 was in the sticks. :biggrin:
Prairie View was the destination for us down that same road if we wanted to attend a university in the 60's.

hmmm...

My family lived in Texas during the 50's. [evidence]

So glad, they escaped, before I was born...

ps. Someone wanted to see a recent pic. Pfft! I'd much rather see young Om, than old Om.

ppppppp...pppps...s. (hic!)

New game:

Find the Om.

Nope. His name is George.

[edit: "circa 1980" means this picture is about 25 years old. I'm one of the youngsters. :smile: ]

Oh...so you're just old. I thought you're very old!:biggrin:

So let met guess. What about the one with the black T-shirt?

Bingo!

Quite obvious to me, as I was the only person in the picture with a skull large enough to hold a humongous, helium filled brain.

As in, inert. o0)
That is my boat in the picture, which I didn't buy until 1989.
The image was from 1991.

[edit: Actually, the math works out right, for what I was thinking, and not typing: 2015-1990 = 25 years ago]

I'm trying to be cool next to my little sister while my dad wears a strange shirt that looks like wall paper and a bolo tie.
