Cool older pics. You've not changed much, except you now have facial hair and let people take pictures of you without concern.

Forgive me. I can't stop staring at that couch.

It would go wonderfully with the wacky carpet pattern I experienced at the Hyatt.

okay, I'll accept that you were delirious with pain in the one picture, but you're wearing short shorts in a lot of those pictures. I'm not complaining.

You look like a better fed John Linnell.

I love Flansburgh.

Sorry.

Oh the shame of it all. The interwebs knows just what a geek you were back in "the day."

But hey, geeks are hot now. Didn't you get the memo?

Dear, dear God. Please, please, please bring men's shorty shorts back into style. Please.

It's funny that you say you never liked having your picture taken, and yet you include a little photo of yourself on all your posts.

There's definitely some studly goodness happening in that backing up car shot. Just add a caption to the blow-dry shot and you could totally be on a billboard where I live.

Thanks for reminding me my clothes are probably dry now...

Oh yes, the 80's...if we only knew then that we know now! btw: Nice legs! ;-)

Thanks for sharing-it's really fun to se how we evolve. I've been promising to share some old--disco ok--old photos. I'm sure they'll be unearthed in the move so it oughta be soon.

The email was right about being totally hot!

Loving the blow dryer picture! Thanks for sharing your old photos with us, it's fun to see how people change in appearance as they get older.

Ha! I love these.

You're so long and lanky in those sexy shorts (that's what Karl said).

May be a good thing you had underwear on (?) with the short shorts in the tree moss picture...

Ok this is going to sound a bit strange (and possibly insulting) but you look a bit like Ray Romano in those shots. It's in the eyes...

For a moment I thought you were levitating in the shot of you with a bad ankle. Then I squinted and noticed the camouflage couch.

I'm just saying - you look all sorts of boy-next-door hot in the photo where you're driving. Although there's an ominous feel to it... like maybe it's the intro to a "Blood on the Highway" driver's ed safety filmstrip.

Must. Resist. Mocking. Dave.

I'm kidding. You look hot. Wanna marry me? Oh wait, men can't marry other men there can they? I keep forgetting. Oh well...

Didn't manage to resist after all. My sincere apologies.

ChillyWilly... Oh there's still quite a lot of concern... I just compensate with alcohol now.

Shiny... That shot was taken in a Hawaiian vacation condo in the late 80's... it could have been SO much worse.

Amanda... I am nothing if not a victim to fashion.

Poppy... I might be giants.

Kris... No. But if geeks are hot now, I am on fire!!

Miss Britt... I'm thinking of bringing them back in style all by myself. Hopefully the trend will catch on or else I'll just look silly.

Claire... Eventually I embraced my hotness and didn't feel bad about having my photo taken.

Mrs. K... Actually, I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then! Life was so much simpler. :-)

Turnbaby... Disco fashion kind of passed me by. It's a shame, because I look fabulous in a leisure suit.

Kilax... Yes, the way I imagined that email WAS pretty hot!

Kailey... No problem. I could use a little humility right about now. :-)

Tonya... Another fan of my hotness from 20 years ago!

Hilly-Sue... Tell Karl to stop looking at my legs!

Tug... Though I was probably going commando in that shot. There was a period where I was against the tyranny of underpants.

Seewhy... Better the eyes than the shoulder blades!

Delmer... Now you know how Siegfried & Roy do it.

Jenny... Because everybody should be warned about driving while wearing short-shorts!!

Colin... No, but we could be significant other life-partners!

i loved a lot of 80's fashion!
it was so fun and free and quirky!

Cool pics :)

Your expression in the last pic reminds me of Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko

Oh dear God I had the same couch when I lived in Arkansas. Except that it was probably 15 years older and faded and gross looking. It was one of the world's most comfortable couches though!

So back then, did you not have facial hair or had you not forgotten how to use a razor yet?

See, are *totally hot* in that car shot :P

I'm an old married lady and shit, but i would totally have attacked your ass. I had a THING for tall lanky dark haired guys in school (oh and now too.)

ROOWWWR.

I loved the 80's too. And judging by what's in stores, so do all the designers and the kids of today.

It's a good thing that you are so good at reading in between the lines. If not we might never have had the pleasure of seeing all those pics!

You must have the longest legs evah! Sheesh... Or did the ankle twisting make your right leg longer than the left one?

I have already masurbated twice to this post.

Oh my... you were such a cute looking geek. I would have totally had a crush on you back in the 80s, especially with those shorts.

Oh. My. God.

See, everyone totally beat me to my comments!

Which were:

A) You seem to have a penchant for short-shorts.

&

B) You're really, incredibly hot in that car backing up shot!

You evolved into a different kind of hotness now. Who needs all that hair?! Not you. ;)

The car backing up and blow drying pics are so cute. You're hotter now tho. You're aging well like a bottle of expensive cognac or champagne.

I'm totally turned on now.

there is just something so damn sweet about the photo of you in yellow. especially since i can't pull off yellow to save my life. too cute.

but my favorite photo is of you blow drying your hair. love the cheesy grin! (well maybe not favorite photo seeing as how i kinda drolled a little over your long leg on that dreadful couch)

There is definitely a strong resemblance with Josh Radnor on that 4th picture... Except for the haircut of course.

Great photos! The shot in the car looks like it should be advertising something.
And yeah, I'll jump on the bandwagon - nice legs!! ;o)

Those short shorts are, er, rather short are they not? Kinda scarily so actually.

I love these pics! Old pics always make for a good blog post, 'tis true, 'tis true.

*modulates voice up 1/2 step*

Aw, DAVE!

You were adorable!

(Not that you aren't good-looking now, but in those pictures - what, you must be my age - and I would totally hide behind boxhedges waiting for an opportune moment to run into young you. Did that make sense? I think what I'm trying to say is:)

Aw, I mean really. Adorable.

This is so weird because today we got out some old photos and I was thinking to myself "maybe I should post some old photos of me when I was a lot better looking" and here I see you've already done it.

Now if I did it, it would seem like copycatting.

So I guess I'll wait a week.

I seem to recall having seen half of those before. We need a Boy Scout uniform shot like I posted.

Aside from the haircut and a few chocolate puddings, you haven't changed a whole ton... Still awesome!

Now that's made the work day so much better! No work getting done now I tell ya! Just beautiful!

oh dear god in heaven, i've been painfully absent from blogging lately and returned to the HEATNESS OF YOUR HOTNESS staring me straight in the face.
