Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility?

I'm sure that would've taught you something.

I know that GB's first name has come up before. It started with neither I nor L.

 

[fade]

I tried to figure out his name once. I mean I invested all of 10 minutes of googling in it. The funny thing is it's the mystery that makes it interesting to go after. If he just came out and said his name was Bob McSugartits, I wouldn't care. Well, not for the same reasons, anyway.

 

[Dei]

I mean it has been flat out said either from a link or on the forum.

 

[GasBandit]

Two people know my full real name and location, and one of them actually got it by detective work.

Bob. McSugartits.

 

[GasBandit]

Bob. McSugartits.

Close. Bert.

 

[BErt]

What a stupid name...

 

[PatrThom]

Bob. McSugartits.

Close. Bert.

Aha! It's...Bert McAspartame?

All this time you've had us chasing red herrings!

The quality is rather horrible because it's a cell phone picture of a picture hanging on my fridge, but this is me and my little sister when I was 16 (and she was 11):

Spoiler

This would be in... 1996 or so. We've both changed quite a lot.

 

[Dei]

Oh shit, slap band and backwards hat, all she is missing is the flannel shirt over her tee and she would be authentic 90s.

 

[fade]

Hey, look! It's back when cartoon network was still awesome.

 

[Simfers]

No flannel, but not pictured is her stuffed Bugs Bunny that she carried EVERYWHERE she went.

I'm sorry, I have a bit of nostalgia stuck in my eye...[DOUBLEPOST=1413323508,1413322976][/DOUBLEPOST]Here, while I'm at it, here's a picture of a picture of me when I tested for my first black belt, in Olympic Tae Kwon Do. This would be in 2002 (note that I still have the same glasses). I'm in the middle. The older gentleman on the right held pads for me to kick during the exam, while the big black belt on the left wound up being my sparring partner. I remember him hitting like a frickin' truck. I also have no idea what that weird gunk is on my left pectoral...

Welp, it's Throwback Thursday, so I'm necroing this thread!

Back to 2005, when I went to New York and got knocked out by Rocky.

In retrospect, it looks more like I'm doing a Greg Land-like pornface. I imagine @Cheesy1 will find ways to exploit/photoshop this.

Man, Stallone has had a -lot- of plastic surgery.

These are my maternal grandmother's parents and sisters. My grandmom is the shortest one, third from the right.

Got a hold of my baby book (for any future parents, please don't glue your kids' birth certificates in there! Getting a passport later in life will not be fun.) and found a pretty stellar baby picture.

Baby Kags everyone.

Haha, so chubby!

 

[Emrys]

Adorable then and adorable now.

My stepdad had a bunch of our old home movies digitized onto DVD, and sent me a copy of the set.

So here's a picture of 4 year old GB getting read a story by his grandmother.

I forgot how blonde I was when I was a kid. It turned brown pretty fast after I got to be about 10 or 12, though.[DOUBLEPOST=1437523854,1437523582][/DOUBLEPOST]THE ORIGIN OF A LIFELONG INTEREST. PC MASTER RACE FOR LIFE YO

[DOUBLEPOST=1437525170][/DOUBLEPOST]Uhm... I don't remember this part of the family.

Ha ha ha.. ok, apparently SOMEBODY (shifty look) must have decided to tape over part of the VHS tape with a copy of the old animated Return of the King adaptation... and nobody caught it before the tape was sent in to be digitized...

Just think, if it had been Return of the Jedi, no one would have noticed the difference.

If only my childhood HAD involved lightsabers and spaceships. It would make putting up with Ewok jokes a cakewalk

See, I thought this was going to be a thread where the forum photomanipulation maestros took current pictures and shooped them so we look old.

I didn't know those old Compaqs came with SVGA color monitors!

[Dei]

My grandmother gave me a pile of old pictures and I found a marching band picture from the year we won state, some number of years ago that is definitely not nearly two decades ago. (I'm in the middle)

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Apparently, I once bared a striking resemblance to Gary Busey.

Oh god, the weird 80s mustache.

And the acid wash.

That was the only kind of stache I could grow back then
