More Shots From The Archives

As part of something else I wrote today, I dug up my Facebook archive. You might not know this, but if you request it the right way, Facebook will send you an archive of your entire account. At which point you can request to have your account deleted. Doing that will significantly improve your life. Facebook causes depression in both men and women. It's also Really. Fucking. Lame. Quit Facebook today and spend that time reading a book.

Anyway, I found some stuff in that archive that I figured I'd share with my readers. We can all have a laugh at my expense for a bit and we'll all feel better. First one is me with that FIAT Abarth chick. She was actually pretty cool and very patient about being part of a media event. I had my mind on the girl who was waiting for me in the hotel room upstairs so my heart wasn't in the photo op. Without further ado, let's see what other silly stuff I have sitting around. Not all the shots are of me, but they are all vaguely humorous or risible or important to me somehow.

This is only funny if you realize that the Pokemon is "Charmander". Read it aloud.

Check this dude out!

Two dudes my brother knows. One of them is a legitimate contender for best Stock-class autocrosser of the past decade. The other one is a monstrous Nigerian gynecologist. Kid you not.

Alex Dykes in the back of a Lexus GS. He made this a feature of his tests in the years afterwards.

Me and Colin Jevens five or six years ago. Not sure what we're doing or why there's a camera.

For some reason I felt slightly out of place at this jam. Obviously, it's because I have an Electra bass and nobody else does.

Yes, we're related.

When I played softball, I played to win.

The worst car I ever owned.

My 2005-era haircut, with my pal Faisal Ahmad of the Pakistan Express.

Me and "Rodney" from the TTAC Rodney stories.

The daughter of a friend of mine was elected beauty queen of her small city. I was her driver for the parade.

Patrick Hespen, in 2011, before we lost him to cancer. Rest in peace, friend.

Me with my cat, Huckle. Mom says that Huckle hated me.

I listened to the audio of this party recently. We were terrible. TERRIBLE.

Last but not least, a photo from the most important day of my life. Featuring the coolest dude I've ever known.

Talk to all of you later this week.
