Show yourself, BAs!

For some reason the image looked too clean for that vintage. But I'll plead ignorance because I didn't really get into SciFi until later.

 

Obscure? Tongo Rad is a legend. dcotom? Now that's obscure!

 

At least now you'll know me if you ever run into me at Binny's. #adaylateandadollarshort

 

Beertunes I also envision as a different twist on Dave because of age. Long dark hair, scruffy beard wearing an AC/DC shirt in shorts and flip flops. Maybe a 30 ish version of Dave. Other that those two I’ve never thought about it.

 

But I am surprised that most are a bit older than I thought on average. I’m old but immature at heart.

 

Used to have long hair, but, I didn't want to be the bald guy with a ponytail. My beard is not scruffy, I haven't shaved since 1979, so it's fully grown in. Don't own an AC/DC shirt (although, I did see them in '78, with Bon Scott, on a triple bill with Thin Lizzy and Blue Oyster Cult). And, I'm double 30-ish.

 

Wow, it took you 40 years to grow your beard in?

 

Huh, no shit, well your young at heart.

 

You're not the only one.

 

This whole thread is making me smile. Here is a little jolt to enjoy on the side.

"How come they like you so much?" Kirk asks.
"Because I'm not a condescending dillhole?" suggests Spock.

 

Thanks for the reference. Not a Star Trek fan (don't hate it, just never got sucked in). That picture is still freaking me out!

 

Now just imagine if you had seen the episode! We now know A LOT more about God, er, ah, @TongoRad . ;-)

 

It would probably not surprise anybody to know that I know every word and song of that episode by heart, I've seen it so many times.

 

Lots of good looking people on BA

Jk of course.

 

Captain Kirk was a 20s gangster in one episode- or he foiled a gangster plot, I forget. Spock had to hide his ears. Topical news was always fodder for Roddenberry. That stuff is planted in my brain.

 

I've seen a lot of episodes in reruns and know many of the cultural references, but action & adventure was more my thing then.

Then came historical drama and westerns -- never really waded into Science Fiction. Although, Blade Runner and Alien grabbed my attention.

 

Years ago, I was riding with a major wine supplier in Charlotte. He was toasted and sleep deprived, looked up, and said, "This is one Blade-Runner fucking looking town". And he was right being a D.C. original. He was a regular at The Willard Hotel. It was fun to watch.

 

I am a manufacturers representative in the housewares and hardware industry. At the Housewares show a year ago, one of my manufacturers had a pancake artist in the booth. This is his rendition of me as a pancake. It does look like me and , on occasion, I do smell of maple syrup and butter ( diacetyl?)

 

I know he was exaggerating, but I don't know if there's any town like Blade Runner's LA.* Yet.

*I just remembered -- that was supposed to be 2019!

 

And that was just around that time, oddly.
