You look like the entitled shithead in a million-and-one John Hughes movies.
“You know what this pretty normal hairstyle needs to make it pop? A fucking explosion of curling neck hair. Tons of it. So much it makes the rest of the hair look short. Buzzcut short. And throw in a plaid shirt with short sleeves, but don’t button it all the way up. Oh, hey, got any high-waisted jeans?”

Oh, the mullet. Business up front, party in the back.
Yours was excellent. MacGyver would have been envious.
Nice to see Doctor Cox rocking the ‘Intense Jigsaw with a handful of crushed puppy’ look on the far left.

This is such a nice change from the way most of my relatives now share pictures. “Oh, you don’t have a Facebook account?” is the response every time I miss something, as if they didn’t know that from the previous ten times.

OMG, OMG, OMG. John and I had to pick ourselves off the floor from where we were laughing our asses off. As John just very drily commented, “He’s changed quite a bit.” And down I went again.
You’ve got the right number of uncomfortable looking black guys in the picture for that, but you really need the embers of a dozen £50 notes you burnt in front of local beggars for 100 proof verisimilitude.
Oh, that’s what crazy Jigsaw guy is holding

@Omnes Omnibus: You do kind of stand out! It always throws me off when I see that you have dark hair, because the Omnes in my head has hair that is might lighter than that.

Trump’s mullet was very creepy, with the hair combed back straight across his ears. Such a grotesque freak.

Ida know, I really don’t get the whole mullet thing. Looks no worse than damn near everything I see people wearing today.
PS: You were a good looking kid, Cole.

I didn’t know you had Spock ears. The mullet really accentuates ’em.
There’s a reason I don’t remember the 80s.
