I'll add in this one for all you non-Southerners! I have a few friends from the east coast, and every year they're taken aback by our use of the Homecoming "mum." Supposedly folks outside the South don't have Homecoming mums? Circa 2000-2001. I'm in the middle with the cap on.
Going through these photos are hilarious because I don't look anything like this anymore!

I don't know what a 'homecoming mum' is but I know a sweet mustache when I see one...

Oh god.
This is now my desktop background.
Lemme see if I can dig out the blue hair and 'hawk pics from my awkward punk phase.

The tank top is white, navy, and fluorescent orange stripes.
Go ahead and hit me on the cut-offs......................
EDIT: I forgot to add terry cloth.
YIKES.

Was thinking more positive. Something like:

Me circa 1st grade, so like 1990-1991.
The only reason I happen to have this on my phone is, my coworkers have this theory that I have a horde of illegitimate children running around the area. One guy's neighbor has a son that he thinks looks like me. Then someone else's friend's sister's son looks like me, and so on. I had to bring in a pic of Young Me for comparison.
I should be so lucky to have ever gotten around that much.

It might just be Texas, but I'm thinking if Texas does it, then there's a good chance OK and LA do it, too ;-)
Here's me playing with bubbles in Grandma's kitchen sink in maybe 1978.
Years later, someone snapped a picture of my little cousin doing the exact same thing in the exact same position, with the same red dishpan, so I put the two pictures together in a hinged frame for Grandma. She was pretty touched.
When Grandma passed, the only thing I wanted from the house was the crockery cookie jug in the background. It's on my kitchen counter near the sink now.

The campers were pretty cool. You could stuff a corvair "suitcase" engine in one and they'd really go.
It's increidible how much old VW's are worth now, considering you once could get them for nearly a song.
I had a 1967 VW Fast Back, and two Square Backs a '68 and a '71. All these vehicles would go in the snow like nobody's business. I had a set of studded snow tires I'd swap on when we'd get a big snow (I know, bad me). Unbelievable ability ... they had basically a belly pan on them that would allow them to glide over the snow a bit like a snow mobile, they were all rear engined with rear wheel drive, and with the studs I could drive them in snow where my tires could not touch ground and did fine. Also, the squarebacks had onboard furnaces. Because vw's were air-cooled, and had no coolant to operate a heater system, if you wanted decent heat you had to have a little furnace onboard that had a firebox/chamber, run by a sparkplug and it's own fuel line from the gas tank. More than toasty, actually a bit too much sometimes. Got the Fastback from my grandmother. Bot the squarebacks because I worked, once upon a time, at a big restoration shop that did all kinds of conversions and restorations, and that did a lot of custom VW's ... corvair engines etc etc.
My Westfalia (camper van) is the only car I've ever had appreciate in value. It's probably worth 3x what I paid. I constantly get notes on the window wanting to buy it.

Is that a bowling shirt?
I had one a lot like it.
(where I come from bowling was a "large motor skill" in kindergarten.)

That's an amusing bumpersticker on the VW.
At first I thought it said "To All Vegans, Thanks for Nothing". I thought to myself ... "well now, that's refreshingly ahead of it's time! Isn't it?"
One more.
2000 or so. The University of Wisconsin Law School totally highjacked a tradition from Harvard. At Homecoming, the third year students run from one end zone to the other, then we throw canes over the goalpost. Legend has it if you catch your cane, you win your first case. If you drop your cane, you work for the government.
This is me right after I dropped my cane. Won my first trial, though.

It could be. We lived not far from a bowling alley.
