No, this is not a Sex Offender. This is my Papaw when he was about 40 or so...there's not a date on the picture. (A Papaw is a Grandfather) Everybody says how much I look like him...especially the older I get.
This is my family in about 1965. Can you tell which one I am? (Nyuk, check that hairdo on Momma...)
I'll give you a hint. I'm the third child.
Ain't this a beautiful child here? September 27, 1963...
Hey! Who is The Babe with the goofy-looking guy? Engagement photo for the newspaper, so it must have been early 1979.
I got a million of 'em, but y'all don't care, so I'll quit. This is fun...
Dude, the Papaw photo bears an eerie resemblance to someone that I have seen somewhere. Dang, where eludes me, though.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, WV is DINGER. Yeah, I took a screenshot, if you call crap on it, too.
TD, he's kin to a famous country music singer...but the resemblance is not REAL strong.
ReplyDeleteI think he favors "String Bean" before String Bean got old and ugly.
And, I am not throwing the bs flag on the wv. Nothing would surprise me...
I got a million of 'em, but y'all don't care, so I'll quit.
ReplyDeleteAu contraire... or whatever it is those of French extraction say when they wanna throw the BS flag. I LOVE this sorta stuff. But I'm speaking for a party of one and I may be goin' against the grain. But I don't think so.
Shorter: More!
wv: cursing. Srsly. But no screen-shot, so you'll haveta take me at my word. Which is golden.
That is a pretty girl in that bottom picture, but what's she doing with that goofy looking guy?
ReplyDeleteBuck: I love this kind of stuff, too.
ReplyDeleteJim: She is just about to make the biggest mistake of her life.
Like Buck, I like old family pics too.
ReplyDeleteAndy, you haven't changed much over the years.
Barry, actually since I went back to a buzz cut, I look just about the same as I did when I was four years old.
ReplyDeleteExcept for all the lines, wrinkles, and sin marks.
Andy, I'm with Barry and Buck, keep those old family photos coming.
ReplyDeleteAnd Pawpaw really does look a lot like old String.
Re: "lines, wrinkles, and sin marks." I got some of those as big as a two lane blacktop.
wv: "susters" as in bruthers and susters. I kid you not.
Dan, I have no doubt about your word verification. The Gooble knows!
ReplyDeleteDan, Papaw was always called "Slim Reeves" by everyone that knew him. While he and I do bear a striking facial resemblance, as a young man he was 6' 4", and went about 150. His nickname was quite appropriate. When I first became aware of Stringbean as a child, I always thought Papaw resembled him.
At my peak, I was 5' 9", and I'm a bit shorter than that now. By the time Papaw died he was about 5' 10", and weighed about 190. But the "Slim" handle stuck with him his whole life.
