Alright, pony up those pics of you in the 80's.

OK, I'll play. I'm on the right. This is summer of either '82, or '83 at my brother's wedding.



My hair is currently longer than in the photo, and much grayer. I'm growing it out to donate it. Only a couple months to go before I get a buzz cut

What, are you in prison???

LOL Nope. Not in prison. I was big into radio control car racing. The bright glow is a light bar to discharge batteries after a race. The rest is just the assorted paraphernalia required to try and keep a 1/10th scale electric race car going.

Well, I never would have figured out what that thing was! I guess I just assumed you would discharge batteries by, I don't know, DRIVING THE CARS!?

LOL!

Here's mine.

And I thought I had no shame...

I do believe you win the internet today.

Reminds me of the prom suit that Ben Stiller wore at the beginning of There's Something About Mary

So you're Dom Delouise's Son, Peter, the guy who was on 21 Jumps Street? Duude, you're my hero!!!

Haha

I think this was actually late 70's, not in the 80's, now that I think back.
Woof. What a geek LOL

Layne, you look about a hairsbreath away from drygulching the cameraman...

Somewhere between 75 and 80. Always liked playing in the dirt!

Awesome pic!!!

I think this is from '79, but close enough. I have since learned that there's more to beer than Old Milwaukee.

THAT is a GREAT SHOT!

Too nice to be included in this thread, I'm afraid.

Halloween '84. I'm pretty sure I didn't know what a hobo was. Note the floral pattern couch and green shag carpet.

Pretty sure Shecky has that same wallpaper and carpeting today.

Yeah but it works with the beard. What were you doing ? It kinda looks like an oldschool dj setup or something.

It looks like he was trying to be in "Pump up the Volume".

I'll have to see if there are any pics of me from this era. I think I was in my "take my picture and I take your soul" era.

I started the 80's by going to a Pink Floyd concert. Next thing I knew it was the 90's

Twas a very good decade.....I think

Is this better? Wife and I are the two on the left. Taken around the same time as the bike picture.

The first one was taken between 82 and 83. As you can see I'm already selling tickets to the gun show.

The second one was probably 86, I was all dressed up to give the crown to the homecoming queen at the high school football game. Looking like a baller with my boots on.

Come to think of it I still get crap to this day from all my family for those damn boots, I should be making fun of my parents for buying a house with mud colored carpet and that much fake wood paneling.

Brilliant , i think i laughed my nuts off!

Im the kid on the right. Probably right around 80. Didnt even know what beer was! Life sure does get better with age!

Summer '87 I'm the one in the G&R shirt. My buddy Corey in the DARE shirt ironically/tragically passed a few years back from an overdose.

Add a fat kid and that's the cast of "Stand By Me."

graduation photo, '81



March '87, being one or two barber's snips away from a mullet, but never had one



January '88, boot camp photo

If we had a member who was an octogenarian who posted a picture of him/herself currently, it would be the kind of pun that makes me laugh for days.

Man GrogNerd, you went through quite a few changes in that decade. LOL.

Actually your graduation photo looks like my best friend Mark from Highschool.

When I think about it, I know we have a couple members in their 60s but I dont think I know of anyone here older than that.

Who's our patriarch/matriarch?

I dunno, I think there was once a thread on that....let me search and see.

I know there was a thread for the tallest brewer, but don't recall if there was one for the oldest.

My Senior Portrait, and my one act of vanidlism.. these were both taken in 1989..

And the reason for the "Norge" is because I was dating a Norwegian foreign exchange student..

Ive heard the skinny tie is coming back...

I hope so. I still have all mine.. lol

Sweet! I think I have some ties. I KNOW I have a Daffy Duck tie.

I think what I need is a Bow Tie. Bow Ties are cool. And Fezzes. Bow Tie and Fezz.

In my line of work if you wear a bow-tie, there is a 99% chance you are not so much cool, but rather a tool.

If you wear a bow tie it must be one you've tied yourself, not a pre-tied abomination!! Like so:



It also doesn't hurt to have more frites with your steak frite than you can shake a stick at!!! I am also unclear as to why it appears I have a faint John Waters mustache in this picture. I can assure you, I most certainly do not!

I was totally going to do a sonogram but saw someone already did it on the first page
