You Don't Know Me, I Make This Look Good !
Several folks at work were shocked to see me with a short 80's 'fro in the juggling pictures.
Most have NO idea the transformation I took from 9th grade in 1984 to seasoned Police Dispatcher in 2003.
Let's take a walk down memory lane, realizing every step that I thought I was at least a little cool. Oh the humanity!!

The title of this was inspired by my wife and her co-workers' favorite Jerry Springer Guest announcements as they walk onstage weighing 400lbs and wearing a tube-top and hip huggers looking like a busted can of biscuits. The pharmacy is sometimes awash with a tide of 'You don't know me!'s

15 Eulogies
I gotta say the current incarnation is the best. What's up with '88? You look a lot like Weird Al. I think of my old pics...and well I'm not as brave as you. I'll just leave mine safely tucked away.
Totally weird Al !!! But not on purpose. It was my first year of college and I needed to chop my long hair off at the collar to keep with my hotel job grooming requirements. The cheesey Mexican Mafia mustache was because I wasn't allowed to grow the goatee at the hotel. By the time I got to the Po-Po, goatees were all the rage but I wanted to grow it and my wife seems to like it. Plus it's one thing officers can't do - a beard. Unless you're a drug cop and then no one wants to talk to you anyway because you smell bad :-)
dang, you morphed worse than I did. heh heh. All those young guys have no idea what's goin' to hit eh?
You have all your old license pictures??? Holy cow..Im impressed :)I think the goatee fits you :)
A few days after my dad died of cancer, my mother gathered all the family around the photo album and publically ripped up every single picture of me... Not that anybody'd miss seeing what a nerd I was as a youth instead of the handsome fellow I've grown to be now.
You. You've stayed strong, handsome and pure-hearted for all these years. Way to go.
Grrrrrrr, straight up hair band sex god. I love it, you've got some huge nuggets to post those pics Eric.
re: 1996 photo
Mike Piazza called. He wants his DNA back!
You had me at "busted can o' biscuits".
you are my hero. in your youth you looked like Jack Black!
And if that ain't cool I don't know what cool is.
All you guys are great. No, it's not the size on my nuggets. It's just my lack of shame. I'm a pretty goofy lookin' guy really. No use hiding it. No one suggested I looked like Mike Piazza at the time. Luckily anyone who thought I looked like Weird Al kept it to themselves.
Although six degrees: My new boss, Sandy Claws, went to high school with Weird Al. He was just "kinda geeky" Al at the time. She's got the yearbook pictures to prove it.
Q: Does William Shatner releasing an album in 2005 with Ben Folds and the Pussycat Dolls getting a number one single mean that Weird Al is obsolete? Has the line between comedy and Pop music finally blurred to the point where Al isnt so weird?
It's like a Boomtown Rat and another Irish musician vying for a Nobel Peace Prize. Cosmic, man.
86 = you looked high
88 = you looked smart
96 = you looked scared
03 = you looked psycho
Bill - thanks.
and No, No, Yes, Yes.
They looks somewhat the same as in cute :P
In 1984 you look like Peter Brady! Hahaha! I love it - you're so brave. Good man!
You look like a serial killer in the making I hate to say. However your last foto you look like a cast member in star trek. Hmmmmm maybe Im just taking in too much LA LA land. The juggling fotos are really good. weird Al reference hmmmm. New boss? hmmm
keep up the good stuff.
That's a great story. Waiting for more. »
