bam!


(the lady taking my picture told me the flash would hurt my eyes if i didn't take my glasses off. i somehow managed to shout 'itsokayllkeepthemonimfine' in about .003 seconds without arousing her suspicion.)



1. tinted glasses - check

2. gilittery gold glasses cord (is there a name for these things other than 'glasses cord'?) - check

3. hypnosis-inducing 80's polo shirt buttoned all the way up - check

4. sketchy half-smile - check

5. continuation of string of absurd driver's license photos - check

i'm actually not sure which i'm proudest of, that i put this ensemble together in about 45 minutes during lunch, that i managed to fill out all of the dmv paperwork through someone else's prescription (bifocal) lenses, or that i didn't get beaten up in the parking lot. let's call it a 3-way tie.

6' 190? what ever happend to padding your stats a little? You should be at least be 6'3" and 210 to 220.

great work on the pic. maybe next time you can get a homeless looking stand (Joey Ribaudo)

joe dude said...

hah, i'm going for the approach freak's bball coach used in high school, when they listed him at like 6' 1" 175 even though he was at least twice each of those measurements.

(except you forgot the pocket protector)(or did you think that would be overkill??)(you would have definitely been beaten up then)(OK i'll stop with the parentheses already)

my shirt didn't have any pockets, so the pocket protector was out.

i wanted to wear one of those chest strap cell phone holsters, but i figured that might be pushing my luck.

I honestly don't know whether to make fun of you or make out with you. Maybe if you play your cards right, a little of both . . .

Lindsay G said...

You look like a serial killer. A serial killer that could really use a woman's touch. Yep.

joe dude said...

ms. shorter,

if by 'play your cards right,' you mean 'make that your permanent look,' i'd say i probably can't help myself.

joe dude said...

ms. g.,

even serial killer impersonators need a little love in their lives.

ps - don't real serial killers look a lot less happy and serene than that in their mug shots? i say yes.

are there any respectable organizations that utilize a person's driver license photo for other purposes?

i once got the best tough guy passport photo. unfortunately, "we" decided that the photo was a bad idea because i would instantly receive a full cavity search anytime i left the country with this photo.

joe dude said...

i have no idea what your first sentence is asking.

awesome decision "you" made on your passport; the possibility of repercussions is a very serious issue.

i feel like any police officer that gets a look at this thing will either immediately tase my brains out or let me off the hook entirely.

it's a total coin toss.

This validates your existence. There's nothing more you need to do.

joe dude said...

thanks, friend!

shorterthanyou said...

Yessss . . . *fist pump*

joe dude said...

watch the glasses!

Reminds me of my license...

Bright purple jacket.

Lime green polo.

And oh yeah, the collar's popped.

Holla!

joe dude said...

outstanding work.

Now to reminisce back to my permit. Oh, orthodontia had done a wonderful job to enhance the look of my pearly whites. Nothing like a quarter inch gap between the upper front teeth, and the half closed eye look to say stellar. And I was able to claim that amazing piece of plastic for one whole year. I was way too priviledged.

joe dude said...

que magnifico.

if you have a picture of that gem, feel free to post a link.

lb said...

Unfortunately, I believe that, that awesome piece of plastic was temporarily misplaced. Plus, I don't want any jealously over the awesomeness of that photo.

joe dude said...

hah. quite understandable. i was a little worried about getting upstaged anyway.

The Big Play said...

I think it has been under appreciated how you have the top button buttoned, thats a nice touch.

joe dude said...

thanks for the catch, play.

you're a man of subtle and refined attention.
