SHMUPS Picture Week V: Change your avatar and show yourself

Herr Schatten · Post by **Herr Schatten** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 2:20 pm

It's time to resurrect one of the finest traditions of this forum, the annual picture week. It has always been great fun in the past years, so let's do it again. Don't miss out on the opportunity to partake in what's probably going to be the community activity ever. Here's what to do:

Change your avatar to a picture of yourself and leave it that way until the end of next week (or as long as you desire). Alternatively (or additionally), post a picture of yourself in this thread.

Here are the last three picture week threads for reference (I think the first one got lost in the forum crash):
SHMUPS Picture Week 4
SHMUPS Picture Week 3
SHMUPS Picture Week 2

Don't be shy. Let the world see your faces, fellow shmuppers.

Me, some family members (the two kids) and a couple of buddies of mine. I know the pic is old but I haven't changed at all since then.

I'm the one with the red shirt.

And one wonders why girls are so few and far between on this board. Would you actually say that to a someone you just met in public?

Ha ha-my avatar is already a recent picture of me but here's another one:

I grow old I grow old I will wear my trousers rolled

Awesome thread/tradition! Now my avatar is from my 'Dobbers Gallery' - a collection of photographs of me posing by childishly grafittied penises from around the world.

And here's a picture of me and the lovely Mrs. Spadgy:

I'd like to point out I have no pretentions of being a DJ, and am rubbish at it - I just keep end up doing it despite thinking it's a mugs game.

And here's me with a plastic cock I got given on a lesbian speed dating woodland walk to promote sexually transmitted diseases at a music festival. That's how I like to party! I still have the cock in question - he's called Von Dobber.

Finally - mjclark - what's that line about trousers from? My dad used to say it all the time...

mjclark · Post by **mjclark** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:15 pm

It's from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot:
"...I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me..."

Looking at the photos on this thread made me momentarily feel really fuckin' old but then I realised what a good thing that was

Like that "Dobbers Gallery " thing I weirdly have a collection of photos of graffitioed versions of the word "c**nt" from around the UK-always thought it would make a great coffee table book.... at one point I also wanted to do an album of photos just of dogshit, but by the time I got a digital camera I went off that idea (and my wife had long since gone).
How we laughed...

I know this has been said before, but these threads are way better after the week is over and people have long since changed their avatars.

For example, Pa Crappa FTW: http://shmups.system11.org/forum/viewto ... 835#173835

Apparently I can't take a picture of myself without looking insanely stoned.
