SL Photo Thread

Case · November 16, 2003, 07:14

I may come to regret this, but IMO what this forum needs most is a thread for posting member photos.

To kick this off (and prove that I'm the best looking guy on SL

) here's a picture of me. It's pixilated and awful because it was taken for my passport sized security card photo at work. I've since invested my earnings in better business clothing

Cifer Almasy · November 16, 2003, 10:14

Yeah, Dude, thats exactely what I always wanted: A SL Photo Thread (Threat)!

Here comes my picture:

Me in an austrian "Stau" last summer, headed for the mediterenean.

I never thought I would see one of these threads in here!

Great Idea ....

I have only a sports photo from the Austria Indoor Championships on March 2, 2003. It´s showing me (green shirt) during the 800m competition (I ended up 5th ...)

Pablostuka · November 16, 2003, 11:45

Okay...Here's myself this summer,when I started to grow my beard

(Now I'm shaved)

Arthedain · November 16, 2003, 13:13

K guys, this is me

Panda · November 16, 2003, 19:55

Better not post photos; in the past threads were closed for that.

N35t0r · November 17, 2003, 11:24

Well, here's me then...

Linking rather than attatching to save precious 'poly bandwidth

I've had a haircut since then, so i look much more tidy..

I've also taken a break from shaving (lazyness mainly)...

Stefan Härtel · November 17, 2003, 11:53

Well, I swore an oath never to post in such a thread, but what the hell... this is me in Hotel Adlon.

What a great idea - it's always nice to put a face to a name

Case: Do you have relatives in the UK? You're a dead-ringer for a bloke at work

Cifer Almasy · November 17, 2003, 18:22

Exile you look like Neil Young!

Yeah...you're 'talking' to a great Queen fan

Do you have noticed that by the 'The Miracle' poster, don't you?

Yeah, but they're all tall, blond and only arived a few months ago

Both sides of my family are from Ireland, which they left due to a combination of potato shortages and judical rulings between 200 and 150 years ago.

Exile, I've always wondered if your avatar photo was a self portrait but have been too afraid to ask. Judging by those photos, you could move to Australia and join just about any rock band that took your fancy

Is there anyone else save pablo who likes Queen too? That´s great!

I have a West Virginian horse thief and a defrocked preacher in my tree. The preacher 'pursued the ardent spirits'.

You guys need someone to head up the balding old f**t contingent. If this thread isn't closed soon, I'll see if I can dig one up and scan it.

While I'm not exactly on top of the court records, my ancestors seem to have had an unfortunate fondness for their employer's silver cutlery (which may explain why my Grandma has so much of the stuff

)

Mr. Oobir · November 18, 2003, 01:59

This is a particularily bad photo, but it's the only recent one I have. My face is badly sunburned in it; I attempted to Photoshop it out.

The Miracle, Invisible Man and band posters to be precise

Mercator (he had two Queen avatars in the past) and myself. At least that's the ones I know of (Chris 62 was also one of sorts, but he doesn't post here anymore).

Here I am. Before I discovered Civilization II and after

Post it Boco! If only I had a scanner I'm sure I could run you a close second in both the 'balding' and 'old fart' stakes

I've always thought it was a genius idea by the 18th and 19th Century British judiciary to transport 'criminals' to Australia. Couldn't they have found somewhere worse like the Bahamas or the Seychelles to send 'em? Can you imagine if they still did it now: light fingers in your local Walmart in sunny Manchester gets you seven years on Bondi Beach with 2 years added on for good behaviour

I would be disqualified from this contingent for being already too far ahead!

And you can add 1 to the people who like Queen...

our_man · November 18, 2003, 16:29

Wow Case, you had a lucky escape! Think of it; if it hadn't been for the wonderful hospitality the British showed your ancestors by deporting them to Australia, you might be living here... in Ireland!

What I can't figure out is why the troublemakers got a free trip to the relative paradise of Australia while people that behaved themselves had to stay here.

I'm sorry, I do tend to mumble on about the injustice of being born on a godforsaken rock in the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm up in university, so I can't rustle up any photos of myself at the moment - I'll see if I can unearth some when I go home next.

Yeah, once the British underclass realised that the British government was willing to ship them to the other side of the world where, in return for what was normally a couple of years of not-so-hard labour, they could live in a sunny country with the highest wages and standard of living in the world, the deterent effect of transportation did wear off. When ex-convicts started digging up huge quantities of gold, the British had to think up new punishments

curtsibling · November 18, 2003, 20:00

British weather is punishment enough!

N35t0r · November 19, 2003, 10:30

And i like Queen too!

And you didn't post a photo, curt!
