I had completely forgotten about this until this evening during chat. (me, Jaime and Mike - Left to Right)



I have one of Eeyore and Wertz that I'll have to dig up tomorrow.

I love seeing everyone's pictures!! People need to post more. I will try to dig up some soon of me to post. Hopefully, people will get this thread going again.

Hello,

Here are two new pics of me :

I love it Horyok! Thanks for posting. I got a new digital camera and will be taking pics shortly and posting.

This picture was taken in the 1994 when Texas Governor Ann Richard was running for reelection against Republican challenger George W. Bush. Richards made a campaign stop at the Fort Worth Education Association where someone took this picture with my camera. I was association photographer for a number of years. That's a camera bag hanging off my left shoulder and Ann on the right.

She is best known for acid tongue lines like this one...



...made as keynote speaker at the 1988 Democratic National Convention.

What a great picture Bof. I have a picture of me and my daughter with Jennifer Granholm (the governor in Michigan) that we took this past election. Granholm is so personable you can immediately see her appeal when you meet her. She was very sweet with my daughter and very patient letting everyone get separate pics. It was funny though because she was surrounded by body guards and they took all the cameras and then took the pics for everyone. It worked out well.

It's nice to see some new pics.

Here is a pic of me and my daughter with Michigan's governor Jennifer Granholm this last November election day. And you guys thought I was conservative . . . .

You're much shorter than I imagined. So who are the two tall ladies flanking you again?

Sorry to say, I am not the cute one in the middle!

I updated my pic to one taken this year (March).

I love it Jaime! I wish more people would post pics.

Ok, this is from Halloween:



I'm Skipper.

I e-maled my latest to info@ americas debate- I have no idea who gets this e-mail- but I do have a pic in waiting! LOL

Doclotus-- that is the funniest darn halloween costume-- I can see why it won best costume! What a great idea.

I'm the better-looking one:





Long story behind the boa and hat... don't ask.


It's for Video Production! I made comedy! I had a good reason for wearing them..

The man...the myth...the legend...Mr Manganel! (My AP Government Teacher)

Famous Mango Jokes:

Did you know Abe Lincoln was Jewish?
Yea, he was shot in the temple.

When i retire i want to move to Gettysburg, know why?
I want to have a Gettysburg Address.

Tomorrow, Friday September 16, is blues legend B. B. King's 80th birthday.

In 1971, I had my first teaching assignment in a small town near Forth Worth. The school district had only been desegregated for three years (my third year) when the young Black man in the picture asked me to sponsor an off-campus/after-school Afro-American Club. The town was set up on an East and West basis. The Santa Fe Railroad ran North and South through the center of town. For the most part the Black population lived East of the tracks and the Whites to the West. The young man's grandmolther was a funeral director and the club met in the Black funeral parlor on the East side of town. When the district desegregated in 1968-1969 (my first year) only one Black teacher came to the newly integrated high school. The president of the club had asked the Black teacher to sponsor the club. He refused and recommended that he ask a young firebrand liberal--me. I agreed, and to this day I'm not sure whether my decision was based on bravery or foolishness.

As part of the activities of the club, I set up an interview B. B, who was playing in Dallas. We met for two hours in the Fairmount Hotel. The woman in the picture is the young man's cousin. I still have the transcript I typed out from the interview more than three decades ago. I won't quote much of it, but there were portions that reveal not only the musical greatness, but the warm humanity of this icon.

He told me that early in his career he had played 346 one nighters in one calendar year (that's only 25 nights off the entire year) on what was called the "chitlin circuit." He said that he still (1971) played more than 300 nights a year. I asked why he worked so hard and he said, "I have 25 people on my payroll. If I don't work, they don't eat."

He also told me that he didn't expect to live to be a very old man. Fortunately for us and him, he was wrong.



You guys enjoy this picture of a young, out-of-control, flame-throwing liberal, BoF.

and BTW:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY B. B.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!

Give Lucille a kiss for me!

Note: Thanks to Mike for uploading this picture on short notice. The idea was inspired by the pic of he and Jaime with B. B. earlier in this thread.

I'm the one on the right. The one on the left will be hopefully be president some day. I'm trying to think of a cute caption but I can't right now.

The lava in that lava lamp doesn't look fresh...

Any body want to know what I look like? Well, I'm going to show you anyway!



That is what you call taking a picture of yourself at arms length with a digital camera.

First contact...

Aaaw! What a cutie! From where you appear to be looking, you're doing that new dad "Gosh! Her hands are so tiny but so perfect!" thing.

From where she's looking, she's thinking "What are YOU looking at? Put me down or I'll throw this big left hook I'm saving up."

Seriously, though, you must be very proud.

Here is a pic of my family and self in Seward on Labor day when we went to the sea life center so my seal fanatic daughter could see seals. She kept telling the employees at the center she was going to be come a "stienstist" so she could "be a vetternarnian"



Me and my daughter on her first day at school.



This is a pic I took as a project for a motorcycle site video- we ride to a sign on this particular type of V4 motorcycle- in my case, a 1985 V65 Sabre (Honda)- one of the fastest bikes in the world in 1985, and still pretty brutal with 121hp, 107rwhp on the dyno.

Great photos CruisingRam. You have a very cute family & must be very proud of them.

**looks around furtively** Your wife is especially cute **runs for cover**

Yes, thats a very nice looking family you have CR. Your daughter is very pretty, I'm sure she'll make a great vetinarian one day.

....and I like your shirt

This is a picture of me and some of my floormates on our way to Repuiblicalooza, which is an event hosted by the AU College Republicans. It was just a small little mixer, but i learned of an opportunity to get an internship with the Heritage Foundation...can anyone say booya?

I can say "booya"... I just have the common sense not too.

More to come when I can find where they hid off to...

Titus on Tax Day '05...

Aha, Titus! I knew I had seen you somewhere....

I do not believe that picture. I really don't. But I can tell he isn't digitally added in because look at the woman to the left of Edwards.

And why is a republican at an Edwards rally....

I was intentionally releasing influenza cultures into the air. That's wht you see him coughing. The bandana on my face hides a surgical mask to protect me from becoming ill. I was just doing my part for the party!

I don't know... but it's funny either way. A republican at an Edwards rally with a sign that says "what's cracka lackin?" is hilarious.

here we are.



niftydrifty sr, and niftydrifty jr (in july '05)

and here is an action shot (B.B. was late, so we had to go on without him)

Thanks Nifty!

Ok! I know I`m kind of a lurker here....so I give you this picture for you to know who's lurking on you..or more accurately on what you write!

Anyways, here it is me and my wife in the photo....she is right when she says it is a bad photo of her..she is a lot more beautiful than that!.

Me and Mareike

That a marina in the background? Where was that one taken?

That was taken in a place called Glückburg, near Flensburg...

I have recently acquired a Flickr account for my unpublished photography I may one day scan.... I think it will all be in the same cases after I get my digital gear.

But here goes..this is the first three pics I uploaded

There's my fiancee et moi (gotta speak french and get romantic)

Then we have the pics when I took my cousin to the city. None of the children are mine!


Edited to add: In case it isn't obvious, I'm the ogrish looking one.

Freja's a beautiful little girl, Moif! It seems that she's got a solid temper already

Oh yeah

Ah yes, I definitely the relation between you and your daughter there! Lots of common features (and I'm not being ironic because she's crying)...

Yikes! I wonder what my twins are going to look like!

Not my best picture (cameras and me ... bad combination )

Thanks for sharing Renger...

Now we have a visual aid in helping us differentiate between a dane and a dutchman.
