Hey now, I’m in love with your nose. And I was born the year this photo was taken. Creepy…or totally hot? I think I’ll go with “totally hot.”

Very hot…and I’m not talking temperature-wise, although you did look rather well-insulated :-)

This looks like a cross between my mom and my brother and it’s creeping me out on many levels.

That sweater looks itchy, hence the turtleneck layer. I think your mom just had your comfort in mind.
No such thing as too many layers…mentally, that is.

Dude, we all looked like dorks in high school.
About the schnoz — Embrace it, own it + you’ll feel better.
Turtleneck — LLBean, Lands End or J.Crew?
N.B. Your consistently conservative look saved you from far greater fashion sins.

Yet ANOTHER reason I click with ya bro. Did the same thing to a pic of mine not too long ago. (Rhyme!)
And you know what they say about guys with big noses and big feet dont you? Lets just say the theory doesn’t work well with women. It just means we’re ugly and junk.

Hey Michael-
Wazzz up?!?! Study hall sux!!! Meet me in the school parking lot in 15 minutes. We can smoke cigarettes in my car and then go back to school and hassle the new substitute teacher, Mrs. Bubblebutt.
Ha, I’m totally gonna call her that to her face!
Okay, whatever. Got2Go. See ya around.
P.S. Are we still bff? Do you like me?
Circle one: yes no maybe
your nose was the first thing that made me think “here’s someone special” those long years ago when my friend showed me “Pizza” on his computer and I got my mind blown. It is a very good nose and you should love it and nurture it and name it and dress it up fancy.
You look like you got that turtleneck from a turd store. In fact, that whole outfit screams, “I am turd ferguson, king of fat turds. And also I stink like turds.” In fact, that turtleneck isn’t even a turtleneck. It is a turd-leneck. I bet you grew up on Turd Street.

I saw this at your Union Hall show. “clothes way too matchy-matchy” was my favorite line, too.

yeah you look like a jerk off with your smug expression
I wouldn’t even be able to come up with such an outfit when I was in highschool or college. I applaud the amount of layers. I can imagine that you had the outfit laid out on your desk chair the night before, seductive.
I just read that Ira Glass went to Brown and majored in Semiotics. Are you best friends with him?

i think it’s so not matchy-matchy at all…in a good way! i’d say you had a certain “je ne sais quoi” i don’t know what eve back then…the thin stripes over bulky woolens thrown under Navy-issued water-repellent outerwear. Tres chic!

It’s an interesting piece of art. The font choice gives it the feel of an almost… ‘in the moment’ type effect. As if the artist had these thoughts while getting his photo taken. The unique choice of filter leaves one with a sense of distortion, as if to try and cover the imperfections of ones youth. Overall it has a very universal effect, one that all can relate to, while at the same time making obvious comments about the imperfections… not witty, just straight forward. Thus adding a comical effect to the overall piece. I love it, submit it to an art museum.
bam!

hah you have some real lamewad fans pal! i forced you to unexpectedly give me a hug i think last month or so after that broin’ out show thing. i could tell youve done that probably 8 billion times before, but it was pretty good for me. the good luck is starting to run out though i think…i just fell down some stairs
I often ask myself, did my forehead grow that much since high school, or is my hair receding at some infintesimal rate. Or worse, what if it’s both?!? By the time I’m 80 my forehead will have pushed my hair to my ass and my face to my crotch and then I’ll be called Bulboushead Dickface Asshair by all the childrens. Prolly childrens that don’t even know me either. I’m depressed.
Mikie! Wainman and Mike Black told me to rag on you for not writing lately. Ok, not really. You caught me. But I’d like to think they would be pissed at you for not writing.
Come on bro, we need some more of the good stuff!

I drunkenly listened to the Stella commentary yesterday. It was better than sex, or at least, the sex that I’m used to. The crying kind.

I’m leaving another comment just because I can. I am that powerful.
If you don’t update the blog soon I’m defecting to Michael Ian Black’s blog; and I will not be coming back. Alright I’ll probably come back from time to time but my visits will be markedly irascible.
Dear Mr. Showalter,
This is God. If you do not update your blog soon, I will be taking away your candy privileges. That means NO CANDY. And I can do that because I’m God! LOL! But seriously, no candy. srsly.
Love, God.
I’ve only been out of high school two years and already I hate those old photos… Of coarse, I hate new photos of myself too… I even appear in my own thoughts as an animated alter-ego of myself. Just feel confident in how pleased and/or creeped out your high school self would be knowing how many random, under-aged girls are in love with you now.
I am a golfer myself and I like to play whenever I get a chance.
A short while ago, a very good friend of mine told me about a great golfing equipment and accessories website that has discounted prices on all their products, same day shipping in most cases and there is no state sales tax, they are paying that.
So if any golfer here is ready to save some money on quality products at highly discounted prices, you might want to check out their site at; http://hoffmangolf.com
if there is anyone who, upon seeing some incarnation of their fifteen-year-old self, does not want to punch that awkward asshole in the face if just to toughen him up for the real shit he’s soon going to be dealing with, then that person is probably right about due for a good old life-lesson-imparting punch in the face RIGHT NOW.

I actually find it rather attractive.

I hate people who like/liked high school.
I like NO I LOVE BIG noses.
You don’t even KNOW… big noses are awesome. So are layers. I love this picture!
I like Layers and Matchy Matchy clothes… and everyone loves big noses, go figure.
I LOVE turtlenecks on a man, but all of those layers? Did you suffer heat stroke on Yearbook Picture Day?
“Dumbo Ears” are a pain I know all too well…
In case my image tag didn’t work, this is my senior picture:

You do look like an asshole though.
ts so trippy how much you look like a boy from down the street at the same age
For ‘86, you were very “in” though. If you lament that photo, you sort of have to despair of your whole preppie high school generation, don’t you?
you are George McFly
hi nice site.
You were cute in the 80’s! But weren’t we all? You don’t update this site very often. No wonder I never check it.
your page says “update me! Update me pwetty pweez!”

That look may suit some, but if I wore an outfit like that at my school, I’d wind up bound and gagged in the girls’ toilet.
…Actually, that may not be too bad !
so this is what it looks like to be insulted… nice
Cool…
