Are you brave enough to reveal your face?

We've been beating around the bush long enough. We've got a "How'd you hear of Axiom" thread and an "Explain your usename" thread. It's about time we had a "What do you look like" thread.

Post a mugshot if ya want... And please. Keep your clothes on.

So, where is it? I don't think you look _that_ much like Sunny...

I can't go first...

I personally cannot figure out how to place pictures on this forum anyway?
Do we have a Home Theater photo forum?
That is my favorite thing to look at, other peoples theaters.

And I do not want my photo ripped on, like you guys did to a certain someone which then caused a lot of controversy.

you need to walk your talk!

Well, we all know Peter is a coward.

I'll go first.

A lame attempt at looking cool...

The real me...a comic book collecting geek.

I need to find a less incriminating pic. I'll post one from home as I don't have one available here.

Um, yeah, mine are all at home or something...

I guess I do need to turn on that scanner sometime...

Funny. You look like a digital film recorder.

Cowards!

Weird. And all this time I've been picturing spiffnme as a talking stuffed animal...

Nah...that's Mr. Bear. He's the talking stuffed animal.

I look like Shirek. Do you still want me to post a pic?

Shirek?

What's that white thing on your cat's head?

Photos of home systems ? Sure, Check out the Axiom Wall of Fame..

This is me in an alternate cardboard cutout reality.

Oops

! That should read Shrek.

Wow...so I'm the only one with any guts, eh?

It's a sock. We enjoy tormenting our cats. And they let us.

Alright fine, I'll bite. Glamour shot time.

This was the "relax/strike a pose" family shot from Peter's wedding. If Peter doesn't post a pic, I can always take the same shot and crop it down to him - he made a funny face in this one.

I'll scan the cigar picture that's on our fridge, then. Just don't anybody get turned on by the fatty in my mouth.

In reply to:
Just don't anybody get turned on by the fatty in my mouth

Don't worry

!

I imagine I'm also in that one. But when I get home I'll post pic(s) from my wedding.

you guys are a bunch of sissies. Dont bring up that ole' "i dont have a camera" story. Heres a couple of me, heck ive even got a video of myself online at a big company's website (not saying where) No, that shirt isint the ONLY one i wear. Just happened to have it on in those pics. In the stereo one it was on purpose.

First one i took for a thing for school. Second one is next to a giant redwood when i was on vacation in july.

Ok, now leaving wuss-dom:

The first one is my wife and I in our canoe in the Sierras -- taken this summer.
I'm concentrating reeeeally hard in the second one -- taken New Year's Eve 2001? at Ken's house.

any help for someone who's completely clueless how to post a pic on here??? Play-by-play would be nice (I've always wanted to post a thumbnail under my name). Thanks.

This is how I look.....

....during Halloween!!!!!

For your pic... under your name
click My Home ... click on Edit "Personal information, email, password, etc"
under "Your Picture (Entire URL - Picture size is 65x75 pixels)" enter a website where you have a GIF file. Remeber the size constraint.
So anyone that has web server with pictures on it one can reference that location...for instance mine is "http://www.spacelofts.com/badcrash.gif"

Try this one and put it in your settings:
http://www.spacelofts.com/scbbb.gif

For inserting image in this forum just place the <.image>http://www.spacelofts.com/scbbb.gif<./image> tag

Take the dots out between the brackets where you see image and /image. That is for illustration only.

Peter: Are you sure your not Tom Green? You talk like him though....

saturn what are you supposed to be. Look part samoan or tongan, part alien, and part raver or something lol.

Lets see who can guess... Spiffnme possibly would be able to guess.

looks kind of like Darth Maul, maybe holding his breath a little too long.
thanks for the help Saturn, I'll try and wrap my head around this tomorrow when i've got more time.

Some of you have seen this, but here is a pic with my mouse.

Here's me on the last day of October wow

there i am in the parking lot during my sister's wedding.

Too easy. Nightcrawler. (Didn't anyone see X2?)

Well done costume.

well at least you remembered the deodorant.

what a bunch of fine, upstanding young men we have here.

If most of us weren't hitched or engaged, we could have started a singles club or something....

Here's one shot proving that manual mode on a camera is only good if you know what you are doing... LoL - I was rather plump at the time of that picture hah - I'm glad I jog a few miles a day now...

Just don't tell your grandma you're jogging. I'm sure she'd love to pinch those cheeks...

Hahah - she would regardless! Good thing I only see her like once every 5 or so years. lol. And now that I don't live with my parents anymore, I doubt I'll see either of my grandma's for a whiiile.

Where are Amie, Ian, and Alan's pictures???

[We posted ours...]

/me thinks they are scared

Alan's picture is in his profile. And you can see Ian's on the Axiom front page. I'm sure you could also find Amie's around somewhere if you dug deep enough...

I know I've seen it.

Will, heres the first family of speakerdom.

Hah - cool.

Sorry for my total computer illiteracy, but I have no clue how to post a picture. Just for reference sake, you could go to http://www.gerweck.net/bigbossman.htm
Apparently, this guy and myself are long lost identical twins. I have signed countless autographs for kids that think I am he (him?).

BUMP.

ok
hang on
i have to find a website to put my crazy pictures

anyone?

Everyone is shy.

I'll host it. Send the pic to my email.

I can't get it to work. Plus, don't have anything worthy handy.

Tom, I kind of like seeing you as that dude in your avatar.

likewise with you as mr. bear.

Well, I do not have a digital camera or a scanner, but I'd be happy to mail a pic of me to someone with a scanner. PM me an addy.

Spiffy,

Good lord..I don't know if anyone else said it, but you look just like Mr. Bear. The facial features resemblence is uncanny.

-Nick

Since I don't have anywhere to post my pic, I'll stay incognito.

If anyone is interested I can host anyone's pic,images.
Send the files to saturn@spacelofts.com
No viruses pls.

i guess i'll take the bait...Saturn was nice enough to host this picture for me (thanks again).

I don't look toooo much like a tourist

and no, that's not a purse, it's a European carry-all!

Ditto on the thanks to Saturn. My sincerest of apologies to Chess for the subject matter of the pic (taken Oct 2003).

In reply to:
...that's not a purse, it's a European carry-all!

Uh-huh...

When exactly did it become "hip" for men to carry around purses? Seriously. I don't have an issue with it, and in fact, think sometimes it looks pretty cool, but when did that happen? I know not long ago, if a guy was carrying around a big ole "man purse", he'd been laughed out of town. Now it's hip. Fashion. Go figure.

i maybe shouldn't have made a joke about it, it's actually my camera case. I'm sure I'll be forever-branded in the Axiom community as the purse-wearing nancy-boy!

I do agree with you Craig, there's an awful lot of men out there using carry-alls that look suspiciously like purses to me. It does seem to be the more fashionable stores that carry them and the more fashionable people that wear them. I still haven't seen anyone wearing a purse and a ripped Iron Maiden t-shirt yet...

Bah.
Another picture of the enormous waste of this planet's limited resources.
I like the muffs though. Very stylish.

Betcha he doesn't carry that 'carry all' around the 'Peg.

hey...I never called you a "Nancy Boy".

Like I said, I think it's pretty cool. It's just a strange progression for from something to go from being so totally unhip, to becoming the fashionable trend.

I few guys here at work carry man-purses. I've never been hip. Hell, I collect comic book art, and love fantasy movies. Geek to the core.

...just like's Joey's "man bag" from Friends...

no worries Craig, I was just poking fun at myself. I thought I might have to move in to damage-control mode to keep from injuring my frail little male ego

They're headphone muffs (so to speak), connected to a scanner. It's a better way to stay in touch with how well they're wasting our resources.

What series? Are you a fan or an employee?

NASCAR is the series for that day, but I like them all. I am definitely a fan.

You'll be going to see NASCAR 3D in IMAX this spring, right?

That's affirmative...

spiff,did you work on the making of super speedway?...ron

Nope...that was before I was working at IMAX.

Peter,

Thanks for bringing pointing out this thread. I thought it was great to put faces to several familiar names, including yours. We've added many new posters (including me. So, I thought I'd see if we can't get more people to post photos. I'll take the first plunge.

The first one that asks "which one is you" gets a really explosive personal message.

It's clear which one is you. What I want to know is where your hands are.

I'm not telling!

This is the early part of the day at Ford Manor. Later, I threw a really expensive party for 200 people I didn't know.

As you can clearly see, my two daughters spent most of their time swimming in my wife's end of the gene pool. Also, just for clarification, we always dress like this around the house.

BTW, what a great thread Pete started here. Let's see some participation. This can only be more fun as time goes on.

OK...I'll play....no wisecracks about squinting...because I am!

Those are some cute kids!

Thanks.

The picture is over two years old...I can't carry them like that any more.

The other day, I came out of the kitchen and the whole audio system and tv were turned on.....my 4 year old daughter did it on her own!

In reply to:
BTW, what a great thread Pete started here. Let's see some participation.

Perhaps in a couple of days i will have some shots to add to the thread, but i hear Amie is kind of shy.
I think i will need a signed release form first.
Perhaps i should ask a lawyer first. I think there are tons on these forums...

Oh Curtis. Those ARE some cute kids. They must take after their mother.

Chess. Bribe her if you have to.

Hope you'll take lots of photos so we can take a vicarious tour. Have a great time.

Hey chess, speaking of pictures...... I might also point out that Jack, Curtis and I dove in tonight, but there is plenty of room left for more pictures (hint, hint).

Curtis, really cute kids - enjoy them now because they grow up and leave pretty quick. I assume Mike was talking about your kids and not mine

. It's interesting that daughters turn systems on early in life and then spend the rest of their lives turning our systems off and stifling toy proliferation.

hehe, about the squinting...

My psychology teacher is japanese and he was telling us some joke about how you shouldnt make him laugh when hes driving because he cant see. something like that. You would have to see it though.

I made this yesterday, since, i am a tube head after all

Thanks again everyone....and yes, they are growing up WAY too fast.

I'm willing, but always have trouble with attaching images. I'll try harder.

Don't ask Haoleb for any help. He's just a.., well, tube head.

Seriously, let's get some traction on this thread and see some pictures. Always nicer when you can match a name and face.

i am all for it, but where is the best place to go to host a pic?? i did a search and they all want memberships, or there is always some catch..

i dont think ya'll wanna see my ugly mug anyway..

bigjohn

Get on over to : www.photobucket.com Pretty neat little setup, free and you can downsize your pictures.

well, here goes nothing..

this pic is from my family reunion last summer. my wife designed the shirt logo.. my uncle did some photoshop stuff to the pic, so it looks kinda weird..

[image]

[/image]

I AM NOT A CROOK!!!!

Alright BigJohn! Son of a gun! You are a BIG John.

Good job getting the photo up.

hey, it worked.. this is my first time to try this picture post thing.. its kinda neat..

lets try another.. OK.. this is me and my wife, shannon..dont ask me how i got her?? she just gave me the green light to get the custom cabinets.. brent is sending me the samples now...she is awesome..

yea, i am a big guy.. always have been.. but the 'better half' likes the 'bigger half', so i am good to go.. i am just scared if my forehead gets any bigger, i will end up looking like RAY on top!!!!!

bigjohn

Does this count?

That's me on the right with my girlfriend.

Lovely wife John. I've always liked that, in your bio, you say "i lead a very plain, regular everyday life, and i couldnt be happier with it." A very mature outlook. IMHO, the biggest success in life is achieving peace of mind.

Ringmir: It qualifies. Just don't ask me to describe you.

Ray: I think John is picking on you.

I'll find a real pic soon. All I have are a few that my girlfriend took and emailed me. No digital camera or scanner for me...

John, I am, in fact, sometimes accused of being somewhat balding. I prefer to think of it as having extra forehead - ALOT of extra forehead. On the plus side, I saved enough money on Head & Shoulders shampoo to buy some Axioms! Congratulations on Shannon; sometimes we end up with a gift we don't deserve. Let's hope for your sake that she never wakes up!!!

OK, I'm game. This is like an audiophile's sad attempt at hotornot.com...

[image]http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/oldskoolboarder2001/detail?.dir=/Isabel-March+2003&.dnm=f37c.jpg [/image]

I think you left a space after the bracket in the first [image] and before the URL, and also after the URL and before the bracket in [/image]. There should be no spaces anywhere.

Okay, I'll bite...pardon the pun.

Here's one of me doing what I don't get to do as often here in Austin:

I'll see if I can find another with less of a disguise...

WhatFurrer

oldskoolboarder,

You've still got a space between ".jpg" in the URL and the first bracket in the ending [/image].

Don't give up. Keep plugging away. You'll get it.

Beautiful fish. You catch and release, or have him for supper?

aahh, screw it. dagnabit...

oldskoolboarder, apparently yahoo won't allow external linking, all people have to do is copy the url and paste it into their browser and "there you are".

Nice pic of the both of you!

oldskoolboarder.

Ford is correct. I copied and pasted, and there you were! Another cute kid! What is this? Are only people with cute kids allowed on this board?

Got it skool!! She's a cutie. You've got a serious "heartbreaker in training" on your hands.

same as ajax.. i copied and pasted, and there you were.. beautiful girl.. my wife is PG right now, i want a girl real bad.. everyone tells me, "no way, you dont want a girl".. but thats because they already have one.. let me make up my own mind!!!

hope you dont mind, but i looked at some of the other pics in your album.. i feel like i have invaded your 'personal bubble'..

bigjohn

boy, those kids look like unloved, deprived children. great slide show, but did i miss the bride or did i blink?

In reply to:
Beautiful fish. You catch and release, or have him for supper?

Catch and release...every one...

Not to mention that particular one was female and about to enter spawning season.

WhatFurrer

I'm about to drop a bomb...

Here's my son's website:
http://66.134.67.253/baby

WOW

I made the website mostly for my parents and distant relatives, but it's great to go back and look at how small and "scrunchy-faced" he was.

My parents still haven't met him in person, though they will this May.

I personally like the "PlaidLad" set. Also that's one tolerant dog you've got there as "Not A Pillow" shows. And I know it's not the point here, but did you really name your turkey Zeus?

I envy you, Peter.

Wow - you posted some ****PICTURES****. What a great site. You are in a terrific place right now; treasure it and enjoy the trip. AND you get to listen to Axioms.

After having invaded your sanctum sanctorum this afternoon, Jack and I want to know where our room is? We'll be doing the "Grumpy Old" grampy thing (he'll be playing the part of Jack Lemmon) if you need the backup.

What, you don't name your turkeys every year?

I admit, the concept was foreign to me, too, until I met my wife. It's family tradition. What's even more interesting is that before Steven was born, we called him Zeus. Naming the turkey Zeus and then eating it was our way of killing off that particular nickname.

Hey Pete,

Your website kind of reminds me when my first son was born. My wife told me I was so disappointed because he looked sort of like ET, since that movie was very popular at the time. After about six weeks he became much cuter and was the apple of his Daddy's eye. Now, he's 21, is talking about buying a house. I don't know where the time went. I feel like I'm on Golden Pond. Just a little bittersweet humor.

didn't see the thread till this morning. Thanks for the compliments. Isabel's 18 mos and a great kid. She hasn't knocked over my M22's but she has learned to press the buttons on my Denon 2200... fatherhood is hard, but LOTS of fun.

enjoy the pix. the more the merrier.

nice website peter.

i tried that when isabel was first born. I'm not a web designer and relegated myself to using word (yeah, i know)... Was a pain to update the website (hosted by Pac Bell DSL) and it went by wayside after a few months. More power to you if you can keep it up long term. The photo album from SBC Yahoo is much quicker for me, though not as visually impressive.

I use photoshop's built-in web album feature. All I have to do is point it to a folder of pictures and it automatically creates the slide show album for me. I was dreading having to do all the coding myself when I remembered about that feature.

Okay, I'll try again...

This is a 2 year-old picture at my daughter's 8th birthday. It's a crappy snapshot, but does reasonably show that I don't deserve my wife and that my kids, luckily, look like their momma.

Don't be so hard on yourself -- half your genetic code is in them kids somewhere.

Nice family.

OK a few real pictures of me.

The girlfriend supplied me with these, she insisted I use this one...I am not often in a tie.

Unfortunately this is not my cat...I have no cat at the moment

Me in heaven. (Or close to it anyhow, all I need are my Axioms and my Lagavulin.)

Enough with the cute kids already. Holy smokes! Don't they make ugly kids anymore.

Nice family Tom.

OK, here's me and Peter from my wedding. I'm the one with the red hair. I think Adam's in there too, behind me.

This is Peter's GQ shot.

Beautiful, Peter. Yes, I certainly was going to ask about Zeus.

Hey, cool shot. You can't even see that I forgot to shave.

So pmbuko,

What's the little tyke's axiom-board handle going to be?

#3 is my favorite, nothing like the smell of a cigar stocked humidor.

like most things in life -- cigars smell much better going in than coming out.

(no that's not a Clinton joke)

Well, I'm sort of a one-a-month (non-winter) cigar smoker. I don't smoke in my apartment, so winter is just too cold to bother. I don't know that I would like my place to smell like lingering stale cigar smoke.

We seem to have hit a lull here. C'mon folks, let's see some pics.

Pastey! Me at work with a rather bright flash in my face. Wow, am I really that bald now?!

Wow - 11 minute turnaround time! Impressive.

However, I seem to have missed something. I used the image /image tag and still no pastey faced james....

Try posting as a .jpg.

yup. the forum's inline graphics are limited to JPEG and GIF.

Good call. I did not see anythign in the FAQ against bmp. Perhaps I should have read more

Here
you go Ray.
Pics as requested.

Yes it's me.

The stunned look on my face is because:

1. The camera never lies.
or
2. It was windy, rainy and I couldn't hear the warning beep from the camera.

kind people will go with choice #2

I'm the idiot in the orange bucket hat...we are at a friend's dad's house on the Abacos Islands in the Bahamas (last fall).

or, if you prefer spoooooky billy...

I think this thread is slowly turning from revealing one's home photos into "who can find the kookiest picture of yourself" .
(Note this has no bearing on Billy's recent picture but it DOES apply to many of the new avatars as of late).

Everyone's see about 40 avatars of me in the last week... but here's a full size pic:

And no, I'm not praying facing Mecca, I'm tracking the bank of monitors in the inset photo... or being mesmorized by dasblinkenlights.

Bren R.

p.s. - For those who haven't seen it, the following "German Warning" has been known to mysteriously appear on any technical equipment:

That's hilarious. It really needs to go on some of my servers. I wonder why my clients are always surprised when I call them that...

My favorite saying when I don't want clients messing with something is, "No touchie!" from the only good thing David Spade ever did.

I'll take another bite at this thread since I just got done having a friend take pictures of me to send to my parents who wanted to see how much progress i've made so far - heh.

Don't worry about the link title - nothing is "naked" heh.
http://stunna.onestop.net/naked1.jpg

edit: sorry about the 'mean' face - it was supposed to have a meanish look to it - heh.

Haha. Loved the German. But, the latent German teacher in me is cringing and pulling out the red pencil. We used to call that "Keets Deutsch" after this guy "Keets" Who would say things like "Ich komme pick-uh him up."
Thanks for the laugh!

jr

"Grrr, baby. Verrry grrrr..."

ow, my neck, no -- eyes!

Du sprichst Deutsch? Warum hast du das nicht gesagt?

Möchtest du einen deutchen PM-austausch beginnen? Mein Deutsch ist ein bischen rostig...

I dunno -- Chris Farley wasn't too horrible.

Not quite up to Chris Farley's stature but...

http://img51.photobucket.com/albums/v155/bigwill/DSCN0029.jpg

I'm the big one.

Yipes! You are BIG! Remind me not to say anything that would insult you, will ya?

Holy Crud! Another cute kid. Doesn't anybody on this forum have UGLY kids? Sheeeesh!

Your stature is the kind that makes people think twice about messing with you -- in person. The internet allows people to mouth off at whomever they please, unfortunately.

Oh, and I can tell that's your son as you share the same hairline...

Well maybe you can mouth off at him, Peter. But BigWill has my name, address and phone number. So, if you don't mind, I'll just keep my big keyboard shut!

OT: Hey! Question. If we all were required to post our names, addresses, phone numbers, and email would that reduce some of the personal insults that, regretably, have popped up lately?

It might, but it would also bring up some privacy issues that would keep lots of people from posting at all.

I feel extremely fortunate for a number of reasons, but mostly because of my little boy. He's a keeper.

That you feel that way, Mark, speaks volumes about you.

And Zarak, your point is well taken. I hope you understood that I was merely posing a question, not advocating a course of action.

We've got a BigWill and a BigJohn...

Now, for the Axiom forums Ultimate Fighting Challenge...

I guess they could match me and kcarlile up together as a popcorn match - "watch two tall scrawny Irish guys try not to get snapped in half like a brittle twig".

Bren R.

That'd work, but I'm not Irish. Swedish/Scottish/European mutt. I'd also wager that I'd be the one snapped in half.

I guess I'd better post a picture sometime...

im a lover, not a fighter..

but i can open up a can of whoop-a$$ when i need to. but i dont wanna fight will.. how bout you get some of those bloats from the av123.. i wouldnt mind knocking those guys around a bit..

bigjohn

Whenever I tell someone who has raised kids that I couldn't ask for a better son, without fail they all say "Wait until he's older!"

Yeah, well, right now he thinks you know everything. He'll reach a point where, for the first time, he'll catch you in a mistake, or an untruth (for me it was when my father told me a stop sign had six sides, and hollered me down when I said it was eight).

From that point on, until he's in his twenties, he'll figure you don't know anything and everything you say is fulla crap (this is the challenging time). At the aforementioned point in his twenties, he'll suddenly be amazed at how much you've learned in just a few years

, and hopefully, things will smooth out a little.

I forget who said that? Was it Hemingway?

I don't know if I ever knew who said it originally. I've heard it paraphrased a bunch of different ways, but most commonly, something like: "When I was 18 I couldn't believe how stupid my father was. When I was 22, I was amazed at how much he'd learned in just 4 years."

I love wit based truth.

BUMP

OK all you new folks (and those older chicken s**ts)! Time to put your mouth (and the rest of your visage) where your money went.

Post them PICS! Scroll through this thread and you'll find some of the idiots you've been listening to all this time.

Good bump...this is a great thread.

[sigh]

Fot the uninitiated, that is not a pic of Peter (pmbuko). It is a pic of sushi. (and the first one who says they tought sushi was raw fish gets an explosive PM.

I thought it was a woodchuck coming out of his shirt

I am sure there are a few who actually have Sushi's phone number...or at least his name...

Not trying to instigate a mass stalking, but someone ought to at least give him a ring and make sure all is well in Dallas(?).

At least it would make a number of those who frequent here feel more at ease...

My .02,

WhatFurrer

Nah! The woodchuck got slaughtered.

All is indeed well. I was in Dallas a couple months ago and worked on a few computers in his lab. He was extremely busy and I would have had to be (IMO) rude to catch his attention.

Oh well. Next time.

Pump up the volume!!! We must have more pictures.

I'm just doing this to test out my image tags. Just pretend you don't see it.

Sushi..... yeah i almost forgot about that guy! he hasnt been on in a loong time

Thought it was time to bring this bad boy back. All you newbies...start posting.

I think everyone has already seen this.

Wow, I really don't like that color of speaker, but that color in your setup looks beautiful.

Thanks!

new pic test

Here is my wife and I at Atlantis Hotel and Casino in Nassau, Bahamas in December of 03. Hope I have this picture thing figured out. By the way, I am the bald one.

Scott

[image}http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v478/ScottyA/Bahamas2003006.jpg[image}

Crap.

I have the picture for avatar figured out, but apparently not for a picture in post. Someone help me out here.

Scott

Hiya Scott,

Nice family. Thanks for sharing.

you've got a squggly bracket } instead of a square bracket ] in the post above. And put /image in the second set of brackets.

Okay,

I am trying again.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v478/ScottyA/Bahamas2003006.jpg

Doh,

Still nothing.

scotta- if you are using photobucket(and it looks like you are), just cut and paste the 'tag' line, and it will be there..

if you notice, when you put a picture in photobucket, underneath it, there will be several formats to choose from.. one is an http, then a jpeg, and then a tag.. cut and paste the tag line, and it will be there.. you wont have to put [image ] in front or back of it..

give it a try.

bigjohn

Ok Tom,

Here goes again.

Woohoo,

Thanks guys. I think I got it. Now that I know how this works, I will take some pictures of the HT and post them. I have had my Axioms for about 3 months and have not done so yet.

Scott

Woo freakin' hoo, indeed!

I'll look forward to the HT pics. That looks like a good vacation.

Tom,

That was a great trip. My wife and I goe each year with another couple on a short, usually 5 or six days, vacation without kids. Is a nice break. Two years ago we went to Jamaica and the year before that it was Hawaii. We usually pick somewhere tropical and lay around the pool and beach and drink and have a good time.

Scott

Bringin this back to life. I KNOW we've got some newbies (and not so newbies), that could contribute.

Wow, going back it looks like I never DID post a real pic! I'll have to dig up one of the wedding ones... Not that people can't tell what I look like from the ol' avatar...

Please do!!! I want to post funny pics of you.
Photoshop is open and waiting.

Alright - ridiculously cheesy or Keith Richards-walking-death-much-too-late-need-to-shave scary?

Sigh...ridiculously cheesy

I never thought I would do this but here goes..................click on the pic if you want to see a close-up of my bald head in all it's glory! :-)

Be careful Ken!!! There is a disctinct possibility that you'll find your face pasted into a Grumpy Old Men promo or an episode of The Tick.

There was also that unfortunate incident involving spiff as David Lee Roth. But unfortunate in a good way.

The guy who does most of that already has plenty of digital pics of me he could torment me with...

I'm not sure if I have posted a pic earlier in this thread, but anyway, that is me on the left.

re: Neverhappy's image above:
Why does the waiter look like he's stealing rolls and putting them in his pants?

lol Not the waiter! He's a guy I use to work with!

Here's my "stoned" look. That's right, it ranks way up there with "Blue Steel" and "Magnum" and I really am a male model!

BTW, I am not really stoned in this picture... really! My eyes have just been broken by all the camera flashes... modeling is soooo hard!

"I am not really stoned in that picture...really!"

Me thinks thou dost protest to loudly.

And I dont believe you.

...............and there is nothing wrong with being stoned! :-)

With a cup-o-joe in the a.m., I call it WAKEnBAKE.

I thought I would try this. I am the guy on the right with the beard

Wow! you're a dead ringer for Donald Southerland in that photo.

That's bizzare you should say that...I was just putting this together...

Separated at birth?

That is just too cool!

It's even more astonishing with the side by side photos. Lee, are you sure you are not Donald.

Many people say that i look like Donald but I just don't see it.

Well, you're a hansome young lad none the less.

WOW! The first time I saw the photo, I didn't catch the resemblance. But, when Mike brought it up, the resemblance is uncanny.

Nice to have another "old" guy on the forum to take some of the heat off Ray and me. (Watch! It'll turn out he's 32 years old, and I'll have put my size 11 in my mouth...............again.

What (size 11) are we talking about here?.....

Oh your shoes that is. Lol

Just kidding Jack!

Another older guy! Now we can do a group buy on Depends and Polident. Perhaps a 55 gallon drum of Metamucil.

You may look like Donald, but I'm guessing he comes up way short in audio power compared to your set up.

In reply to:
Here's my "stoned" look.

Speaking of being stoned:

The Monkey

A monkey is sitting in a tree smoking a joint when a lizard walks past and looks up and says to the monkey "hey! what are you doing?" The monkey says "smoking a joint, come up and have some." So the lizard climbs up and sits next to the monkey and they have a few joints. After a while the lizard says his mouth is 'dry' and is going to get a drink from the river. The lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.

A Crocodile sees this and swims over to the lizard and helps him to the side, then asks the lizard, "what's the matter with you?" The lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting smoking a joint with the monkey in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink.

The crocodile says he has to check this out and walks into the jungle, finds the tree were the monkey is sitting, finishing a joint, and he looks up and says "hey!" the Monkey looks down and says, "&%$@.......how much water did you drink?!!"

thats a horrible joke... you should be ashamed.

Here is an attempt

Whoop much bigger than I thought it would be!
My niece, my wife, my daughter, me and my other niece the first Sunday after returning from China to adopt Elizabeth (now 21 months).

Donald, that is one cute little Chinese doll. Bravo!

One more from November of Elizabeth

Beautiful family Donald! Happy holidays!

Thanks, all.

pretty girl. i have a lot of respect for people who adopt. i think it is a very caring and compassionate thing to do. those are very desirable traits. i congratulate you!!!

i am working on trying to get some christmas pics of my boys on here.. shannon wants to crop and photoshop first. but soon........

bigjohn

Us asians sure do "have it" don't we?!

Oh HELP! I think I'm gonna be sick! Besides, you're not an Asian. You're an American. NO! What was it?...........oh yeah. You're a "Twinkie." (It took me 10 minutes to remember that. I was stuck on "Ho Ho," but I KNEW that was wrong.

)

For those of you who might think that I'm insulting Curtis, the above is a reference to conversation here on the forum where Curtis was explaining that, when growing up, his friends good-naturedly (if I remember correctly. And that's CERTAINLY how I meant it) referred to him by that term. Curtis had to explain it to me before I got it. DUH!

LOL!!

Jack....you got it wrong...it was "banana"!!

"twinkie, banana"?

sounds like lunch?

bigjohn

LOL! Well, whatever! So much for MY memory.

However! I get half a point because of this.

The inverse of course is an "egg"

I haven't heard that one. Now instead of calling a tricked-out Honda driven by a white guy a rice-mobile, I'll call it an egg carton.

(and if he crashes, it's an omelet)

I learned that one from a buddy of mine in college who spent a year studying in Japan. He apparently had that one directed at him from people over there, and found it amusing. Again, I think it was always in playful jest, he never let on to anything different.

Wow, I guess my friends in high school weren't that creative. We just called one of them an inverse twinkie. He was always pretending to blow out candles with his hands...

OK - time to step up here. Lotsa newbies and semi-newbies on board over the last few months. Several longer term folks still not showing themselves. Let's see some action here!!!

. It's always better to have an image in mind when communicating. Well, MOST of the time.

Come on folks - reveal yourselves.

Ok here we go I've been around these parts for a bit more than a year an a half.

Atta boy, Rick! You'll find me and Ray on page 8. He's with his wife and daughters, and I'm with.............................................well, let's just say they ain't my daughters.

Cool! A KWS with DT shirt!

I'm pretty close to the age requirement for the 50 and over crowd................just a few more years....I'm 46 and loven it.

Rick
Good to see your mug.

In reply to:
Cool! A KWS with DT shirt!

I got it at a concert a couple years back.I just went to see KWS at the house of blues in Chicago a few weeks back.The kid is awsome live.

Thanks wid. BTW - you do a GREAT Stephen King impression.

C'mon folks - keep 'em coming.

Stephen King hey,hmmmm can't say I've heard that one before

.

Now it's someone elses turn to show their mug.

Rick,

I see the Stephen King thing too

My link must have teleported from midway page 3 of this thread to here.

Ahhhhh! Cubicles!

Me and daughter Nelly

She's beautiful, Ronnie. Thanks for sharing.

Great system, btw. Seems like we have an increasing number of friendly Texans on the Axiom board. Good for us!

She IS a cutie! I swear, we have an inordinately large number of people with darling kids on this forum. And, when you look at the photos of the sires, you ask yourself "how the he** did that happen"?

As John Hiatt sang in "Georgia Rae" -

Lucky for you girl, you look like your momma

alright y'all, here's a picture of my better half and i at the Ravens-Lions game. free tickets, front row of the club section, 50 yd. line. doesnt get any better. and the other pic is me at my stress relief session-fishing in the discharge canal at the nuclear power plant. they get big there for some reason.

Photo1. Shes beautiful. How did you pull that off?

Photo2. Nice fish. I think its glowing.

1. get 'em early. we started dating in high school when she had the glasses/braces/frizzy hair thing going on. that and she must not be too bright!

2. it must be from the third eye...

OK, heres my tacky joke of the day..

nice fish, and the bass is kinda pretty too...J/K

sorry, its friday, and i am feelin kinda frisky.. much like me, you married up.

sometimes i wonder when my wife is gonna wake up and realize she is married to a toad. good looking lady ya got there, and i mean that.. oh, and very nice bass too. and i mean that. never seen one with 4 eyes though.

and awesome tix to the ravens game. gotta love those club seats.. thanks for sharing..

bigjohn

In reply to:
Photo1. Shes beautiful. How did you pull that off?

I think his wife made out good in the deal as well.

OK boomstick.. i will at least re-post this, so you can 'fire' back at me..

heres me and my MUCH better half.

oh, and jack.. you were talking about good looking kids? here is my son jacob. he is now 7, but i think he was about 4-5 in this pic.

i used this picture as the cover art on my first cd.

bigjohn

Shut up and get me that job already.

John Hiatt is great.

I'm seeing him at the end of the month, along with Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and Joe Ely. Just 4 men and their guitars on stage.

I saw that lineup back in November 2001 at the Ryman - incredible show. John has an annual benefit show (John Hiatt Fund) that usually goes to help some sort of addiction/rehab facility. Each of those guys is amazing on his own, and the roundtable format is even better. They'll just be sitting on their stools all night trading songs, and you'll likely be entranced. Have a great time!

I'm insanely jealous. Can I come?

I saw Lyle from the front row of the Paramount theatre in Seattle in September, and have seen Hiatt a few times in similar venues. Spectacular.

[/digression]

http://www.villamontalvo.org/eventdetails.asp?i=182 I went last year, too. It was amazing!

damn, that fish seems to gaina new eye every post!!

Shameless bump. I looked for the thread where we're supposed to put kids/dogs/other, but couldn't find it.

Recent pics of my kids - Alex (8) and Emily (10)

Straight teeth and everything!

Cute as ever, Tom.

As an aside, I take it you've already considered buying a shotun that you can coincidentally be cleaning it whenever boys come calling for your daughter?

30 Cal M1 Carbine works better...more shots available...

WhatFurrer

That's good. I always tell my wife the same thing. I am a probation officer and carry a 40 cal Glock. I always tell my wife that I will be cleaning it when my daughter brings a boy over. I also kid that I will have to run background checks on all of them.

Scott

C'mon, you ain't kidding.

Tom, beautiful kids.

Thanks, guys. Good call on the gun "cleaning".

Seems appropriate to bring up W. Bruce Cameron's 8 simple rules. He's a funny, and sadly, often plagarized guy (particularly relative to the Chili Judge column).

Tom ... That "8 rules" bit is hilarious ! It has been years since I saw that, and with my daughter being almost 12, looking 15, and thinking she is 25, I will have my wife download and print this off ...

Sounds like a good idea for anyone with a pre-teen to teenage daughter...

Print out copies, give the copies to potential suitors on the first visit, have them read "the rules", sign it and give it back...

May be legally binding...

PLUS, Gun "cleaning"...

WhatFurrer

My daughter just turned 12. Thank goodness she is not interseted in boys right now. She is focused on sports right now. I will be prepared when the time comes. I am 6'01" and I weigh about 200. I am bald and carry a gun 8 hours a day. Needless to say, most are somewhat fearful already. I do what I can to live up to that image (ha! ha!)

A good friend of mine, when asked by his dating age daughters why he was so rough on the boys who came to date them, would reply "when you open the door, you see a nice young man. All I see is a penis wearing shoes." I think that makes the point, don't you?

You said penis.

LOL!

Can we PLEASE call it a talleywhacker?

only if you can clue me in to the etymology of that term.

Porky's.

I'm not proud to know that, but it is the only thing from that movie I remember. No, I did not see any of the sequels.

Wow. And the guy who said it died in my hometown.

Now if you'll excuse me, my tallywhacker and I need to go home.

You said it, too.

But, BigJohn said it first.

In reply to:
30 Cal M1 Carbine works better...more shots available...

i'm looking forward to using my M1! it doesn't have the sheer capacity of the carbine, but thanks to the extra range, i'll get to tease them by letting them run all the way down to the end of the street before shooting!!

I think it's time for some of the new folks to show their mug.Come on now guys show us who is behind those posts.

Nice rifle

ditto

nice looking weapon there ash!!

and yes, i did say the "P" word first jack...

we go with 'one-eyed wonder worm', but i am sure that will offend someone...?

bigjohn

I always preferred "trouser snake"

this is all starting to sound like the Monty Python song...

isn't it awfully nice to have a p....?
yeah it is a great rifle, but as i don't have any children yet (much less a teenage girl!) i haven't had to use it in the neighborhood...so far!

Nice Porkies reference!!!

In reply to:

Peter! does your wife know about that?!?! lol

My XGF called it a "gollywhopper".
Dont ask.

Bray, er... daddy what's a gollywhopper?

Along the lines of Pmbuko its also called trouser trout. Hey who started *this* discussion anyway? I'm not enjoying it. Really I'm not.

In reply to:
trouser trout

That would explain the origin of fishing tales.

"I swear! [holding hands wide apart] It's this big!"

Golly, thats a Whopper!

Your sig has me in stitches Bray. Take away "life is" from the first line and "don't be a" from the second and what do you get?....

On that twisted note I want to know who's brave enough to get this thread on topic again by posting a photo of themselves. I get the feeling I'll be on here soon because I will be visting Tharkun's lair soon. More on that later. Possible ammo for Bray and his ingenious photoshop tactics.

Edit: Note to all. I look nothing like my avatar. At least I think I don't.

Richeydog, If you look like your Avator, just date yourself....

yeah, i've been meaning to ask who that is in the pic. pretty hot, if you go for that enlongated-face-due-to-compressed-picture look.

In reply to:

Yeah Ashley I know what you mean about the compressed avatar. It looked fine on photobucket but when I transferred it over to the axiom board she got squished. I'll try reducing the number of pixels in photoshop and see what happens.

Oh, her name is Anna Faris. Small time movie actress. Appeared in Scary Movie, The Hot Chick and Lost in translation among other things. She's not a bombshell in my opinion but does have that certain look that just does it for me, if you know what i mean.

In reply to:
Richeydog, If you look like your Avator, just date yourself....

Ha!

The jokes could be endless on this one so I will bow out and leave it to your own imagination....

richeydog
I know what you mean.

BTW: The actual crop size in inches is .903x1.042 at 72DPI.

>>It looked fine on photobucket but when I transferred it over to the axiom board she got squished. I'll try reducing the number of pixels in photoshop and see what happens.

Problem is that your picture is 75 pixels wide and 65 pixels high (actually 64), but what you need for an avatar here is 65 wide and 75 high.

You may try again.

oh ok, i guess i didn't recognize her with blond hair. i have the mental picture of her with the black hair from Scary Movie. either way = yummy!

I've been meaning to do this for awhile, but what do they say about "the cobbler's children being barefoot"? I'm always on the other side of the camera and don't come across many photos of myself.

Anyway, I took this an hour ago for the "bio" section of an onlline gallery I'm setting up and thought I'd throw it on here as well. If nothing else, it'll revive the thread!

Nice, Mark. Thanks for sharing that.

But you look so... normal. Kinda freaks me out a little after looking at your avatar all this time.

Normal men don't wear beards.

I don't wear it.... it wears me.

WOW! Big difference from the avatar. You look almost human.

. (Just kidding. Actually, you're a very nice looking fella.)

Now c'mon all you who have no posted in this thread. Show us your mug. I'm on page 8, I think.

I spend all my money on audio stuff. Can't afford a digital camera.

I'll have to borrow one.

Is that a Sigma 70-200, Mark? I spent a long time debating between that and the Canon 70-200 f/4L (I went with the Canon).

Heh. Funny that the first thing I notice in your shot is the camera lens. Nah, I'm not into photography...

Yes, it is.

I just picked up three Sigma EX lenses in the last three weeks: 12-24, 24-70 F/2.8 and the 70-200 F/2.8 for use with a new Canon 350XT.

I'm slooooowly getting back into photography again... which was difficult to do after selling all my 35, 2 1/4 , 4x5 , darkroom and studio flash equipment several years ago!

Our little family photo from June:

From Left to Right:
Ian, Jean-Claude (JC), Alan, Tom Cumberland, Jean, Steve Dove, Brent, and Joe. I'm the one holding the camera.

Next time get Alan to hold the camera. I've already seen pictures of him, and I have a sneaking suspicion I'd much rather see one of you than another of him.

Or use a tripod and an auto timer to have the "entire" Axiom family in the picture...

I agree with Jack on having you in the picture although Alan looks a bit different than the image used for his avatar...Like the "Einstein look" better...

WhatFurrer

So THAT is where the phrase "smarter than you look" comes from ...

I fully admit to being camera shy!! We didn't even have a photographer at our wedding. Pictures at the picnic I promise!

In reply to:
We didn't even have a photographer at our wedding.

With all the photographers on this board, you say that? Gutsy woman!

No photographer, but you should see this video I found floating around the net...

Link please?

http://www.sexywivesofcanadianspeakermanufacturers.com/weddingnightvideo.mpg

Drat ! ... The link won't work on my computer.

Not just yours.............mine too.

OK, now we know who the dirty ones are....

I'm sure we're not the only ones,we were the only ones dumb enough to reply that it's not working

Personally, I like to think of it as being supportive of the female form in all its splendor. This is art appreciation we are talking about here, not "dirty".

Well ... ok ... maybe a LITTLE dirty....

Peter,that's about the hottest thing I've ever seen on the net; something must be wrong with some of these guys' browser settings.

Wid - They are trying to see of we will look again. DON'T fall for it ...

I'm in the clear, seeing as how I don't have a computer. . .oh, wait. . .that won't work.

I need to work on these excuses a bit.

Color me, err, guilty.

Back to the intent of the post: Seriously, where are the photos of the more recent Axiomites?

I hope this works. Im the guy with the oranges shades. Im damn sexy. My family and I were on vacation in Winnipeg, where I was born. I miss it very much. From left to right, my mother(bless her), my sister, myself, and my best friend. It was shot after a wedding.

Wow. Your avatar even wears orange shades.

And appears to be eating a bucket of kfc.....

Its coincidence! My avatar is an edited shot of Gold Leader from star wars a new hope; some guy on somethingawful.com put in a bucket of KFC and a nascar sticker I think its hilarious - cause that guy MUST be over the weight restrictions to fly an X-Wing - like Comeon! Even his name is Porkins!

There he is in all his glory.

i feel like i am looking into a mirror..

bigjohn

Another shameless kid bump. You guys usually only get to see a tiny shrunken head of my son Steven, so here's a better shot taken only two days ago (by my brother with his shiny new Canon EOS 20D digital SLR).

I could have swore i replied to this thread once already. With a pic.

Ah well anyway heres a recent one.

Strangely, there is no one passed out on the sidewalk behind you or getting mugged.

Nope... the rumours of my demise were premature... just the same every summer (well, only been posting here two summers) work from sunup to sundown to make deadlines. *insert whiny drivel here*

I have no idea how I'll catch up with the posts... wish there was a "Mark All as Read" button so I could start frmo scratch.

Bren R.

There kinda is. Just open up the forum and close it again. You don't need to open each thread or read the messages. Close the web page when done. Next time you come back, they are marked as read.

I skip over a lot of threads now because it got to be too much, but use this all the time to make it appear like I got them all so I know what I really need to look at the next time.

Thought it was time to give this a free bump, I'll see if I can dig up a pic to post, by the way, Wid your right you do have about 8-9 yrs on me.

I love the shirt by the way...

I like seeing this thread back. There's a lot of new people since the last time this thread was bumped.

In reply to:
Im damn sexy.

Yep.

Bump.....
Where's the photos of the new guys (and girls?)

The reason I do not get to enjoy my hobbies as much as in the past.

Good Lookin' Family!

I'm pretty sure one of those fish is bigger than your son!

WOW! What a bunch of cuties. That little guy is a doll.

Cute family. They may just be my kids' greatest competition in the world-wide cuteness contest.

I'd like to enter this little fella into the contest:

Nolan is 9 months old now. Soon Daddy will be brave enough to show his face also!

Looks like he's saying "WTF was that noise?"

At least he's not as bad as my dog, who has on occasion, ripped one and then jumped up in a start and looked around in a true "WTF moment"

Sounds like you have one smart dog. I'm serious.

You know, you got me thinking about that. I had just laughed it off as funny, i.e., "Stupid dog, doesn't know it just ripped one."

But what if the dog was just acting?

Man, I just ripped one! Quick! Better jump up and pretend like I just got startled by a weird noise so that maybe they'll think that someone else did it!

Now if I ever caught that on tape, I'd be in business.

I would begin to worry when we starts looking at you accusingly.

David and JP,

VERY adorable kids. And fish. Thanks!

You know how most everyone thinks their kids are amazingly cute, but then you see the pictures and just smile and nod, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings?

Not the case here. You guys have some really adorable children.

I hope one day we'll be able to say that same to you, Craig.

Yes... some day when Mr. Bear outgrows that awkward stage, and because an attractive youn... never mind.

Bren R.

Me 19 years ago:

Me 19 years later:

I think I got copied somewhere in the process...

I noticed the security camera hanging from the top bunk in what looks like a dorm room. What might the camera be taping????

That would a be a fake security camera, unless I miss my mark.

The camera even goes "Beep Beep Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" if i pull the duct tape off the infared sensor.

Fine, but this will only be up for a day.

That is what I wear to work due to their lack of A/C vents on the main floor and what I wear at home due to the hectic central A/C we have this year.

A day...the picture already isn't there!

bump....bump....bump....

Do the hustle!

I love this thread...let's see some more pictures people!

Ok, this first picture is my "What the Hell are you doing taking my picture" look. My oldest daughter is on the right, and the boy is on the left.

5 points to the first person who can guess the location.

This picture was taken last month in Lakeland (FLA), with my Uncle Al (He's 86). Gotta love the blown highlight right on my receding hairline.

A guess at the location, I'd say a wedding in either Hamilton or Burlington... total guess though

Location? Waterfront. Definitely a waterfront.

and outdoors.

We are definitly narrowing it down (aren't we)???

You guys are hilarious. Yes, it is outdoors. And by the waterfront. And in Ontario looking across to the US. And it's not Hamilton or Burlington.

Niagara Falls?

We need a CSI investigator to solve this crime, daaaant di daaaaaaaaaa, won't get fooled again.........

Nope. Does this help?

Shawn, your kids are too cute.

I guess they must look like their mom.

As Ray so eloquently put it - they've spent more time swimming in their mothers end of the gene pool.

Gene pool indeed.

Lovely photos.
I don't recognize the big clock tower.

Thanks Chess. I think.....

Hint - It's a river that connects two lakes.

Location: You are in Windsor, looking at the Detroit skyline?

Ding, Ding, Ding!!!!! We have a winner!!

My next hint would have been: Think NAIAS.

I FINALLY know what you look like. About time. The only glimpse of me is during a "construction" photo on my web site. Not real pretty in a grubby t-shirt and shorts... Maybe, someday, I'll post a picture...

It's nice to put faces to the people you see on the board after a few years. It's funny some of the pictures you (at least me) come up with in your mind for people.
