Hi,

Well it has been a while now so I thought I would post a recent pic of myself.

This way at least you can put a face to the name.

We're in the process of recovering the archives (well they are recovered entirely already), I mean in the process of uploading the archives (more than 250MB of insanity) and one of the things I want to do is to reactivate the "Show us your faces people" thread.

I'm also having second thought LOL with the new feature that any user can upload pictures to rocksoff.org we're gonna need a lot of space in the future

Those magazine images with my face on the cover are hilarious.

I did not expect a pleasant fuss over this. I just wanted folks to at least be able to put a face with the name.

Lady Jane, you are too kind. Is it really your Birthday? If so, I wish you nothing but good fortune and health. You better keep on .."keeping on" with us here at RocksOff!

By the way, sorry I am ugly.

It is no secret here. At least in my home town. I am an ugly man. Some say I am actually "horrid".

I have seen children cry. Women turn their heads. There were instances police have pulled me over only to let me go based on their sorrow and empathy based on my looks.

There have been occasions that I have made puppy's vomit.

What I am is me. Although my face and body may be disgusting
I try and remain optimistic.

Again,

I apologize.

Starbuck and Glencar... Nice 10-year-old behavior. How about we see YOUR pics too and have that "who's looking stupid" contest? Jeez.... :whatapostronnie

All I'm saying is I don't get the attitude.

LOL. Actually,

I was kidding about the ugly bit. I realize I'm not Brad Pitt, but I think I am a bit more tolerable than the Elephant Man at least. lol

I thought surely you all would get that it was just a silly joke (hmmm, or am I ugly after all??) <Ok just another joke

Dear Ian,

Nice to see you. You are a fine looking male. Those that mislead you about your fine looks are... HATERS.

FG!

You look a lot younger (I actually always presumed you were in your mid-20s). Nice pic.

..and anyone hi-jacking a thread like this to make derogatory remarks is a twat.

lol. Glencar, ....see, whether you care or not you can anger people by ALWAYS having an issue.

Mr. FontiniD is now unamused as you know. My purpose of this thread was to simply post a quick pic so ya-all could know what I looked like, and then I made some silly posts in trying to make it a bit humorous.

See now, ...you have irritated some people by ALWAYS chiming in so negatively.

We are supposed to be a "close-knit" internet group here. Remember?

Hell, I think your armpits are probably smelly, or perhaps you may have terribly bad breath but I try and keep those comments to myself for the most part.

Now,
"Goodnight John-boy"

Thanks FontiniD. I told Glencar about his antics as you'll read. Don't get into it too much on my account though, although you can stick up for me whenever you want, just don't get all jammed up over this.

You know, it is just "Glencar" being him. I wanted this to, for once, be a pleasant thread.

I appreciate the back-bone you lent me here on this thread. Tanks!

Glencar made his comment, now he's happy for a while lol.
