Well shooting from the hip id put you at 40-45 y/o in those pics.
I pictured you in your late 50s-early 60s.You sat hunched over your computer munching on pistachio nuts and sipping rum and coke while wittily commenting on bp.net posts into the wee hours of the night. Your scruffy salt n pepper beard and shaggy hair to match were illuminated only by the glow of the screen. It was dark and shadowy but i could just make out the glasses, or spectacles as your senile self called them, that framed your icy grey eyes. You sorta had this perpetual cocky half-smirk, half-grimace on your face from the amusement you got out of your own posts and the bite of the bacardi dark.
Now this was about half shattered when i found out your real name and that it wasnt actually Skip. I was able to overcome this and convince myself it wasnt true. I kept on calling you Uncle Skippy and picturing you the way my mind's eye told me to. But now, this? Im sorry, but after this your posts just cant be seen in the same sarcastic light. I'll try to put up a fancy facade, but im just letting you know on the inside it just wont be the same for me.

Well you got the age in the range.........but your mental image is probably closer to Wes.
To some people my name IS Skip - if that makes you feel any better. Allow me to explain:
When I graduated high school, I went to work for a international heavy construction and engineering company (who were generous enough to pay for me to go to college at nights). My project superintendent I was assigned to was a giant chain smoking beast of a man who we all call Pee Wee. Pee Wee refused to call anyone by their names and instead called us by the piece of equipment we ran or the task we did. I ran a SkipLOADER so for the first couple of years so he called me Skip or Skippy - as did everyone else, even after I was running loaders or excavators. On the schedule sheets, Pee Wee, who barely graduated 8th grade wrote me down as SkipLODER and his own name as "PeWe".
My friend Mike Aldrich who was black was called "Smokey". And one of our pile butts who stuttered badly was named "Smoothie".
When we worked in Australia, the locals spoke so fast and with such a thick accent that Pee Wee (whose real name was Henry) would call me in to translate "Australian" into English when he got frustrated trying to follow what they were saying. When one of our clients pointed out to him "We ARE speaking English" Pee Wee rasped in reply - "Then why the f*** can't I understand a g******n word you say?"
The only time Pee Wee called me by my real name was after he suffered a stroke (about 8 years ago). He had since retired and moved to Arizona. When I went in to see him, his wife woke him up and said - "Henry, look who's here to see you".
Pee Wee opened one eye and said, "Oh, hey Craig. You look fat." So much for the Hallmark moment.
I worked for that company for 20 years and to this day people still call me Skip. Most think/thought it was my middle name or something.

Huh. Well that was quite the story there. I feel comforted enough to call you Uncle Skippy again now. It kinda reminds me of peanut butter and i like peanut butter. I never woulda guessed it came from operating heavy machinery. I feel so obligated to tell you an interesting story now but dont really have one that fits in here....
My name IS Michael but no one except a few people in my family call me that. I mostly go by Mike though.
I really hope Wes sees this and confirms the mental image part...

Chris - love the one of you and the boy where you both have the guitars. My 7 year old just got a guitar for his b-day. Cheap little $60 wal-mart acoustic but he's got to start somewhere, right!?

That's awesome! My brother bought a Walmart guitar for $120 and that thing sounds better than many guitars I've heard that are 10 times more expensive.

Nice man. I am looking forward to getting home and getting some lessons with him! Maybe we'll get my other son to play drums and we can start our own band! LOL

I'll be one of your groupies! :rofl:

I'm gonna give you fair warning, you will hate drumming if your son becomes a percussionist. Everything in your house will be come a drum. He'll beat on the dinner table while trying to eat, he'll beat on the sofa while trying to watch a movie. That's just how it goes for percussionist, once they get a beat in their head it NEVER leaves. Best of luck on your lessons. I'm sure you both will excel.
-
Thanks, brother, for both the warning and the confidence in my ability! My 1SG has been teaching me over here and he says that I pick up stuff faster than everyone he knows aside from his son. It only takes me a few minutes to learn new riffs if I get a youtube how-to video loaded but I know that I would do even better with an actual teacher. Maybe I'll just get lessons and teach my son what I learn! But, I guess a teacher shouldn't charge more for a second person since they are already getting paid for their time, right?
-
Some may charge you and other won't. I know I personally wouldn't but I also don't give lessons to pay the bills. (Although it has crossed my mind.) I would ask around and try to find someone who will give you both lessons at the same time for the price of one or at least a discounted rate.
-
I'll have to do that man, thanks for the heads up!

i love these picture threads. gone through pretty much all the pages of the guys and the girls (i get bored at work). in forums you always get a preconceived idea of how someone looks based solely on their words, and usually when you see them they look nothing like you thought. pretty cool putting faces with names.
here's mine.
