this is funReport
I’m not sure my hairband works.Report
Count your blessings.Report
I think you should find a Jesus Hair wig that matches what you looked like in the early 90s.Report
(They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)Report
I thought you looked pretty, Nob 😉Report
Oh, quite. Very pretty, Nob.Report
Don’t be so self-critical! You’ve got the Dirk Nikowski – Luis Scola thing going on.Report
No one was as I imagined them. Except Rose, who was radiant.Report
Radiant, but also maybe just a tiny bit bored looking…Report
Ack no! Not bored. Just waaaaay past my bedtime. I’m an East Coaster who gets up at 5 am.Report
For my part, I always pictured Burt as far more yellow.Report
Same. And he didn’t have the huckster lawyer voice I was hoping for.Report
But no one was as I pictured him either. Except Kyle, whom I suppose doesn’t count. And Tod, whom I saw in a picture elsewhere. But isn’t it weird how somebody can be not like you pictured when you didn’t picture anything specific?Report
Wait. I forgot the who/whom rule. I think if my mom saw this, she might actually disown me.Report
Yes, Kyle and Tod both have had their picture up at one time or another. Biggest surprises were Erik and Burt.Report
Kyle was clearly the most handsome of the bunch, so i agree with whatever he said. Murali showed disrespect to us all by being all relaxed and reclining.Report
So what’s more important: handsome or chill? You can’t have it both ways.Report
Don’t limit my FREEDOM.Report
I came way late to the party. Is this recorded for posterity?Report
It should be posted soon.Report
