We should identify ourselves! Here's an idea for BPG/etc. [Archive]

derek244

01-14-2005, 08:44 PM

I have been lurking around you bunch of Buick nuts for 7 months now. I went to the BPG show and could not really put a face with the name, although the name tags DID help me, when I could see them, or if they were actually worn. There is a very close knit group of long timers on here that have known other long timers for years (before the BPG etc.), and actually know eachother personally. However, I could stand right next to Jim Weise and not have a clue who he was! Seems odd for everyone to gather together after posting hundreds of threads, and not even know what they look like in person.

Here's my idea. It's simple, post some fairly recent pics of yourself if you can. I know this will open the flood gates for jokes etc, but this time try not to post that friggin pic of Yardley and the sheep...if I see that one more time, I'm gonna go blind! Lets see some real pictures of you. Family pics from 1991 are not really a good idea though.

Now, if we get some real photos, here's what I'll do. I will compile the photos and information, print them out, and send them to whoever wants them, at NO charge. That way, when you are sitting there at the BPG nats, you will be able to look at the pics and identify people! What do you think?

I don't have many of myself, but here's one with my mom last May, with the Rav4 my wife and I gave her for Mothers Day.

Whoa, this is taking off like wildfire! I have come to the following conclusions:

1. You have no way to scan or upload pictures.
2. You no photos of yourself except a high school photo in which you have a mullet. :laugh:
3. For some reason, you think people will not notice how freakish you look in person, only in a photo can you be truly seen. :shock:
4. The starter of this thread does not have enough threads posted or connections in the Buick community to ask for such personal information to be posted. :rolleyes:
5. You are in a government witness protection program.

LOL, I looked at the video... and that's not me.
I don't have a blue hat that I can think of. Most of them are khaki (sp?)
I can't remember who took DaWagon video for sure, but I'm 99.9999% sure it was me. Mel only shot a couple videos.
Oh.... now I remember which ones.....

I was waiting all day to see the TA Wagon run. I knew it was getting close. Our 5 year old son said he had to go to the port-a-potty....
I said "can't you wait 15 minutes?"
Of course, he couldn't ....
And while I was down there, I heard the big guns come out. I knew I was missing it.
When I got back, Mel had taken a few videos for me, one of which was the TA Wagon that I waited all day to see. :Dou:

So we ended up staying longer than we planned.... just so I could see it run in person. :laugh:

Anyways... Thats alot of typing just to say that it wasn't me in the video. :pp

I'll have to find a picture now...
