Member's pic thread

[The_Zergling]

Dunno if this has been done before, but oh well. On many message boards that I frequent there's always a "member's pic thread" where everyone posts pictures of themselves from real life.

So I guess I'll start by embarassing myself. This was taken last summer, I'd just turned 18 a few months before. I'm even uglier now.

If nobody's interested... then just let it die and I'll return to my own little corner of the Universe ^_^;

[bd popeye]

Dude, you look a little close to that dog!:D

Any way this is what I looked like about a year ago...I maybe a little lighter in weight by now...That pic is in my girlfriends old apartment.

Well, we called her 小書/舒, dunno how you would spell that with Pinyin, probably Xiao Shu or something like that. Cute, but stupid as hell.

[bd popeye]

Hey Miggy..where's your picture??? We showed you ours..now it's your turn!
Go ahead I dare you! Afterall it's only fair!!!!!

[MIGleader]

As much as i would like too, all my pictures are on my parents computer accounts, and i cannot acess them. Besides, my mom would kill me if she found out i was putting pictures of myself on the internet.

[bd popeye]

..That's ok. Do watcha gotta do.

In all seriousness I admire your respect for your parents. Cherish them!

This is what I looked like in November 1971 when I graduated from USN boot camp.

Naw, you're not THAT ugly. In fact, you look a lot like one of my uncles.

I noticed that I really don't have that many recent pics of just myself, so in spirit of the "cherish the family" feeling I have right now, here's a pic of my family (minus my Mom, the photographer) in the Taipei International Airport before I left for the States last fall... Indeed, cherish your parents!

Hey in 1971 everything on my body worked as advertised. Hell's bell's..I was friggin' Superman in some aspects..ahemmm...I better stop. I don't wanna hurt the childrens ears....:)

[Finn McCool]

If you would like to see my picture you may go to any major religous building as I am, indeed, God.

By the way, that is exactly how I pictured Popeye. But I totally thought Adeptius was American. Hmmm. YOu would think I know everything, eh?

I would like to see Gollvalienen's picture. He'll probably be on skis.

Please do not talk to me about working as advertised, my back has been killing me all month:mad:

I have often said, that we should be born elderly and grow younger over time.

[Gollevainen]

Gollys skiing TJ is 0....

anyway I have a certain image to keep up in this forum...posting a real pic of myself might seriously harm my work;)

...but if i managed to catch a good one of myself with digicam...i will post it...

Actually my image of Gollevaninen is different, in my mind he is eight feet tall creature with a big bait in his hand.:)

[bd popeye]

Golly is Darth Vader? Damn! I did not know that. Hey do you use "Jedi mind tricks"? Did you ever use them on girls?:rofl:

Golly if indeed you are Darth Vader don't take off the mask because Darth Vader ..well he's pretty ugly!:rofl:

Hey guys that's ok. Do as your parents tell you. When I lived in San Diego with my kids a few years ago I was very leary of what was going on on the internet. Your parents are making what they feel is a wise choice for you.

Now in Golly's case..we know he is darth vader..ergo we know he is butt ugly!:roll:

We call ourselves "Asian American". Only in America will you find "politically correct" divison by skin color. i.e. "African-American".

I went to the local Catholic Church and saw a statue of the Virgin Mary. I'm pretty sure you look nothing like her!

[EternalVigil]

LOL!First chuckle I have had all day.My-ex girlfriend has a photo album with me setting in an F-15 at whitmeman AFB back in 2002. If I can get back some of my military pics I'll post them. Right now I lost my last DV cam last fall when I was deployed over in Japan. I think some Japanese teenager stole it while I was in Tokyo. I set it down for one second to get a bottled water from a vending machine and it was gone. Oh well guess I was an easy "mark" or target for theifs. I'm 6'5" and stood out like a sore thumb over there. Not to be mean but everyone was so short. :/

Speaking of the Philippines I cannot find the disc with the ex-wife pic on it...Oh well.....

alright, here's a collection of my pics, from 2002~2005. they are all taken in the fall of each year for school go card.

ok, so i exaggerated... just by a little bit.;)

btw popeye, ever since you said you're black, i had always pictured you a bit more... well... black... and a bit thinner too since you used to be in the navy.

and i'd like to see Goll too, just curious.

Nope, not Pinoy hehe. Was originally from KMT military family in Taiwan, but moved to the states in 1982.

I know a little bit about the Philippines, because I looked into investment in "pre-built' condos in Makati area of Manila. But my friends from Singapore eventually talked me out of it.

If you're serious about wanting to go to the Philippines, I recommend checking the Philippine Retirement Authority web site, for information on the Special Resident Retiree VISA (SRRVisa) program:
http://www.plra.gov.ph

I'm sure you know that, your dollars will go much further in Philippine pesos. $_$ If the financial requirements are too high, I could also suggest Panama. They have a retirement residency program that only requires proof of $500/month in income from abroad.

TUP, nice pictures, but I am a little suprise how young you are eventhrough I know you are about sixteen. :)

[FriedRiceNSpice]

How do I put pictures on here?!

First you must host your picture by going on to http://imageshack.us/. You then must copy the link that it gives you. Then go to to your sinodefence post reply option, and you find the insert image which is to the left of the quote option and paste the link imageshack gave you.

[sumdud]

Nice to meet you, Punisher.
Totally not what I expected. :D

[The_Zergling]

Hmm. The muscles in that arm are... oddly shaped. Also, to post pics all you have to do is put and on either sides of the URL. I had to copy and past your pic address, and manually remove the tags so I could see it...

Edit : Either my browser was screwed up when I first saw your post, or you edited it. Either way, I look stupid but I'll keep my original words.

In addition, technically I'm not Taiwanese. I was born in the US to Taiwanese parents (naturalized years later), and that's the only citizenship I hold right now. Also, a question for Asians not living in the US where "political correctness" isn't as rampant. (Maybe)

What do you call yourselves? Here, if you're an ABC then generally you call yourself "ABC" or "Asian-American". In Canada it was "CBC"... and if you were born in another country then that's what you called yourself.

[Gollevainen]

Ok advise to mods, If you look as 'adult' as T-U-P does, you propaply want grow a bit more years before posting pictures to keep up the credibility in the forum...:D :D no offense;) ;)

And to answer why Dong Feng doesent show in here is propaply couse his got some real job to do and also the mainsite to run...But he's more of Sampan's&Popeyes age class...

well, i know there are that many white guys in china, but it is still kinda rare for a white guy to be actually living there; thus people would think all white guys are tourists. of course, you have some big bags (relatively speaking) and you're taking pictures.

C'mon dude, everybody above 18 who has read this thread now has the obligation to embarass themselves too. If you are younger than that then for the above reasons that Gollevainen mentioned, then you are officially exempt.

On a side note, I thought the young pic of Popeye was AWESOME.

well im twenty-one as someone can member from the old forum...'84 model...
...and i remember USSR from the childhood, thougth i have only briefly violated their airspace...my first and sofar only visit to russia soil...well occupaided finnish soil...anyway, took place someway around 1994...so it was russia federation allreaydy then

and Like i have said already im only near to digicam in next weekend so patience...;)

and what I said about posting of T-U-P's pics was more of a joke, than guidance...but seriously, Im a bit afraid that my 'real' look migth affect on my authority in moderation matters as you will eventually know what kind of guy is putting you a line in here...

[Gollevainen]

Well circumstances changed, my comp cracked down again (well it never was fixed in the first place) So i was forced to retreat back to my parents home (You cannot study without comp...) so here am I, right next to camera...

The picture is very dark, can't see it clearly. But Golly, you look like a tough guy, I mean a soilder. But after you post this picture it will have affect your ability to mod the Sinodef, you look too young:D .

[The_Zergling]

Don't worry about losing authority, you're still scary as ever, Gollevainan.

Although I have to admit that wasn't the mental image I originally had. Like I said before, Darth Vader...:nana:

[Gollevainen]

you look too young

tell me about it...But thank god the nearest bar in here lets almoust everyone in with walks on two legs...or supposed to walk on two legs:D

...and the authority issue is quite easily to retain, just ban someone and no matter what you look, the message gets trough...Like back in the army days, those drill instructors that looked the most meanest usually ended up being the nicest and fairest...and those that first appearance seemed like a nice guys...:nono: ;)

But how about you KYli? Now that i have showed my true face, i think everyone else participating this thread should do the same....

Golly..You look like I expected..But that pic is kind of dark. I thought you would have blonde hair. It is great to put a pic with your postings....

I never am a fan of achool, so I rarely go to bar. But when I am sixteen I did pretended to be olders, so I could go into casino just have a look around.

I think nobody will question your authority, maybe the newbie but they will know sooner or later to fellow the rule and guidelines.

yeah i agree it is fair to post my picture also, but I can't do it. So just pretend that I am not here;) .

Actually I don't have any recent photo of myself, and don't intend to take some. Last time I did was when I bought a digital camcorder for a thousand bucks, and end up never really use it. Now my dad is using it for his vacation in China, he has been travel around China for few weeks each year. His ambitious plan is to visit every famous place in China, and later to travel to europe and the rest of world. I guess I will just remain mystery, give you some idea I am six feet tall with glasses rather on the thin side and 25 years old.:) As long as people don't image me as Darth Vader or real Fumanchu, I will be perfect find.

Well Mr Gollevainen

You look a total thug:rofl: Especially in that dim light, its the kind of image I associate with unsolicited late night wallet, watch and assorted valuable transactions in dark allyways.

Did they actually offer you the Corporals stripes or did you just take them?:nono:

But seriously its good to see you at last. I actually was admiring the detail of your folks home, it looked very snug and homely.

Now then Mr Kyli I think there is a matter of "face" here and in a very literal sense.

Hi also to adeptitus its good to know I'm not the only family man, you both looked very good if you too are ever in Bristol let me know.

Hi also to drunkhomer - remind me never to kick sand in your face again.

Hi BD thanks for the kind words and I hope you find your CD soon.

Finally a big well done from me to all those over 18 who had the guts to take the plunge. Thanks also to those who said kind words about Mrs S (trust me its unwise to say anything else:eek:)

[FuManChu]

I am sure the world will hear of you again -evil Dr Fu ManChu.

Bit i think it rather gutless (assuming you are over 18) to post on this thread without showing us your ugly mug - after all we have shown you ours.

I like the idea of internet anonymity :roll:

No, really it's a policy of mine - I never post pictures of myself on forums. But I tell you what - I'll post some holiday pictures if I can remember (I'm off on Friday). The person that guesses where first gets to feel really superior to everyone else!

[Gollevainen]

No proplem KYLI...

You look a total thug Especially in that dim light, its the kind of image I associate with unsolicited late night wallet, watch and assorted valuable transactions in dark allyways.

That image might have a serious crunch when they realize that i'm actually not so big in physically...but in mentally and here in the cyberworld..."chshhshh...We meet at last Obi wan Kenobi...whhcuhchc"

But seriously its good to see you at last. I actually was admiring the detail of your folks home, it looked very snug and homely.

Yeap, the picture was taken by me looking trough a mirror to the digicams focuser...I tryed to smile, but i couldn't get anything but a grinch..so i seddle for very Finnish expression...

And My mom would like wery much about the complement on her kitchen that shows in the back ground...She tranformed into a super-decorator at the first minute we begun to build our new house...all you can see is hand made by me and my brother and, offcourse, my grand-father who, at the age of 70 still did almoust all the 'real' work of carpenter in the house...desinged and build...we lads were just doing the usual...lifting heavy things up and down...good rehersal for the artillery of which i didnt have any clue before entering service;)

[drunkhomer]

Gollevainen, never expected u 2 look sooo young

[maglomanic]

Yeah, maglomanic, why haven't you posted YOURS yet either?:nana:

C'mon dude, everybody above 18 who has read this thread now has the obligation to embarass themselves too. If you are younger than that then for the above reasons that Gollevainen mentioned, then you are officially exempt.

On a side note, I thought the young pic of Popeye was AWESOME.

Sure bro , i have a bunch fo pics from my visit to USS interpid Museum in NYC. I'll post one for now, if you guys don't mind me *spaming* the thread i can post some later.:)
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/farooqhafeez/NYC-Intrepid%20Museum/DSCF0737.jpg

Golly, dude i am seriously disappointed , i mean i expected a mythical figure in the class of beowulf. But hey it's allright you'll grow up one day :p

(Now your turn Golly, go ahead take your shot :D )


P.S:One suggestion would be to allow only members of this forum into this thread if this is possible (i.e only allowing people who loged in )

[Gollevainen]

Golly, dude i am seriously disappointed , i mean i expected a mythical figure in the class of beowulf. But hey it's allright you'll grow up one day

well maybe my stomage/veist area would grown...But unfortuanetly I have stop groving up...But myths incarnate out of unknowing and oral-heritage, so I guess Golly has the change to become a par whit it's name

(pronation of 'Gollevainen' goes like other pre-chirstian Finnish mythic figures like Vainamoinen & Ilmarinen...it isent any actually finnish name or word, just my own imaginational name...)

P.S:One suggestion would be to allow only members of this forum into this thread if this is possible (i.e only allowing people who loged in )

Actually there have been talks of this in the mods corner, well before this thread, and mainly focusing those military pic threads of swimmer...to be shown only to registered members logged in...

So if you have any thougths of this, feel free to post them. Couse like you are suggesting, it migth get our shyest guys to post their ugly faces to here if they would know of the comforts of the limited acces...

your daughter is cute :o

and Goll, i was expecting someone a bit older and more muscle-ish since you were in the artillery division.

i wish i can have some pictures beside a battleship or something...
EDIT: wait, i do have the chance... a US naval ship (not a military geek, so don't ask me what type it is) is currently at Lonsdale Quay, North Vancouver. anyone know what it is? i'll take a pic next time i go.

[Gollevainen]

and Goll, i was expecting someone a bit older and more muscle-ish since you were in the artillery division.

Well i've always told you guys that i'm 21 so how old do you expect me to look? What comes to muscles...i admitt i'm no swarzenegger...but then again i never had any proplems of lifting nor carrying anything in the army...It's actually quite usual practise that the smallest guy in the gungroup is usually the aimer (like i was) who have more of non-muscle work, equally frustraiting....tough you cannot excape from heavy labour in gungroup so i had my share of lifting and carrying piggyes...


...but if my true face is not covincing enough, you always image me what ever whishes you...;)

Might it be that they come from the Swedish furniture giant IKEA?? These days people around the world drive long ways to buy the Beslut cabinet or the Nödig utensil :)... And then feast on Swedish meatballs with lingon-jam!

Sooo.. while the days of conquering Moscow, Germany, Poland, The baltics and Denmark is over and our defence is soon dismantled we use another strategy and subvert people with our goods :)

When it comes to military experience.... I have been placed at Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters in Stockholm...

[Gollevainen]

not a military geek,

:confused: :confused: I tought we all were??

Anyway, Mazepa, go and PM dongfeng, as we have a policy that everyone beeing in military is privileged for vip-membership status...even if it's Swedish army:p :p (no offence, just our weird finnish humour;) )

Um... HEY my house is full of IKEA furniture. LoL.

IKEA offers mid-range quality furniture at mid-range price, though I've found their accessories (batteries, light bulbs) to be a bargain. They also sell really cheap "light" cookware (pots and pans) sets that are great for camping & fishing trips. I usually toss them afterwards.

The IKEA restaurant also had great breakfast deals, I think it was $1 USD for a plate of eggs, potato, and bacon.

[Gollevainen]

IKEA is a diseasse for middle age womens like my mom...Everytime when the IKEA catalog comes, she just goes ballistic...and it's not just finnish womes proplem, a frieds of my folks came every year from Estonia to finland just to visit IKEa...weird:confused:

[PanAsian]

OK, since I read this thread I should share a mug shot.
Here's me looking suspiciously at some street fair vegetarian food in NYC... never been a vegetarian and never will! :P

Hey Golle, your picture actually doesn't come up on my PC, not even the thumbnail.

Mazepa you look just like one of my colleagues!!!! You guys could be twins.

And Walter, what can I say?

More importantly, BF2 players let's get together sometime!!! It's too bad they don't have a buddy list for the game, I thought that was such a blatant miss. Wait, wrong thread...

[The_Zergling]

Hmm. I don't have any dislike for vegetarian food, in fact now that I'm living by myself (and away from the oh so convenient markets and 7-11s of Taiwan) I've noticed that I've hardly been eating any meat at all, which is surprising considering the average American food fare is VERY meat oriented.

I've gotten a lot skinnier now that I don't live with my parents.

As proof I shall show more pics of my under-nourished body.

That indeed looks like too heathy food for you! Eating all those green things might just transform you into the dreaded Were-rabbit...

[The_Zergling]

Zergling, is that ballet you doing or gymnastics or something else?

Well, a mix I suppose. I did learn some basic ballet but overall it's out of my league. I prefer contemporary Dance, stuff like "Cats" or Tango.

[sumdud]

wow, yea.. sumdud maybe you should try not stealing riceboys pictures ;)

Can't imagine leaving a kid in IKEA though.......:eek:

Zergling, everytime I am here and seeing your picture, your face keep reminding of Japanese people and Hong Kong's ATV channel. (No offence. Think it's this actor on the channel that once acted as a Japanese or something.)

[Gollevainen]

You came too late to the party...but too bad I dont have the camera& the computer that I uploaded the pic so unfortuanetly I cannot reload it...

Hmm. I must say that it's strange you thought I might take offense. I mean, my parents are from Taiwan. Of course externally I'm going to look like the average person from China, Japan, Korea, etc. Ah, well. Look forward to your real pic.

[Finn McCool]

This is very dissapointing. I can't see Golls picture, and I can't figure out how do make that damn image shack work. Oh well. Considering I am God, I can just make my image appear on stuff. I do that quite a lot in the states. One time people even saw me on a grilled cheese sandwhich.

[The_Zergling]

Yeah, I'll bet. In fact, I even saw you in my cup of coffee this morning.

I guess I will dust off this thread by posting pictures of my often mentioned son. A sonar tech(surface) in the USN. He was recently promoted to sonar technician first class(surface)= paygrade E-6..He was promoted yesterday:) That Asian guy next to my son is a long time friend that joined the USN the same day as he. He was also promoted the same day. He's Filipino-American.

If you are a minor(under 18 yrs old) do not post pictures of yourself in this thread!!!!!. That's an offical moderator direction

S. Viking..I finally got a pic of my ex-wife. This was taken about 1992-93... She was about 37 at the time. Yea I divorced her. She a gambler..big time..:(

[SampanViking]

Thanks BD

:p She looks a real classy lady.

I guess it must have been a real bitch to watch the gambling come in and break it all up. Makes you appreciate a bit more of what you have and reminds you not to take things or people for granted.

Shame most of the kids here wont have the faintest idea about what we are talking about.

[bd popeye]

She is very smart and controlling And>>> a compulsive gambler. Gambling was not the only thing....

Beauty is only skin deep...but ugly is to the bone..

Gambling is a terible thing to be in bondage to. She still is as far as i know.

I'm real happy with my new wife and my new life!!:nana: :)

[SampanViking]

New Wife?????

When did this happen??? Back in February you were still saying girlfriend, I know I have been AWOL here for periods, but I wouldnt have guessed I would miss news like that.

Congratulations by the way (what people will do for another bunch of presents and a decent holiday;) )

[bd popeye]

I got married in June...I'm real happy..

Sorry she says no pictures...;)

Attention minors! Do not post your picture here if you are under 18 years of age. There are predators on the internet!!!

bd popeye super moderator

[Totoro]

If not allowing minors to post on this forum is, in fact, webmaster's official policy, then i guess they shouldn't post... though i fail to see how one can prove their age online. But, if there is no official policy concerning forum members posting their own pics - then it seems silly to me not to allow people to express themselves in any way, be that through pics. Just because one in ten million internet users may, statistically, be 'a predator', it doesn't mean other 9.999.999 won't appriecate a picture. By that logic we shouldn't drive cars or ride in planes, as there's a chance some driver/pilot might screw up and kill us.

[Gollevainen]

Well so far we havent edit any pics, nor we will not take moderation actions (warnings, bannings) against those minors who post their pics in here. We only aknowlidge the danger and as responsible adults, make our duty to inform over this issue. As we are forum, a place of discussion, and our members can present their contact information, there is a reasonable risk that someone uses those two combined in illegal purposes.

If something like that would happen, it would be really bad for the busines, so to speak..

So I join to the Popeyes plea; kids, please atleast think twice before posting your pics in here

...ugly people can do the same:D :p

I never have had my car doors freeze. I know many people that have. I just spray WD-40 in the locks to keep them from freezing at the onset of winter.

It snowed again today..only 2.5cm. Heavier snow later this week..This is the snowest winter in Iowa since I moved here almost 4 years ago.

A few snow scenes taken a couple of days ago by myself here in Cedar Rapids IA USA. We have had about 27 inches(65cm) of snow since December 1st. The snow is piled high around town.

Hey, that's a nice ZR. I always wanted a ZR/25. Coz personally I think it's the best looking B-Segment hatchback ever. Don't many of those outside the UK, though. What's the spec? Is it the 160bhp one?

So what rims do you have now? The original MG ones (in your third pic) or the Civic Type-R ones (in your second pic)? I prefer the original ones, though.

[ger_mark]

yes i got zr 160 mk2

on the 1st pic these are my winter rims, 2nd summer rims, i prefer winter design

also note that i got new rear lights, the original ones look very cheap!

[kickars]

Ye, I noticed that new pair of Luxes-style rear lights, which look much better than the original ones. Have done any mods yet?

[ger_mark]

No, only new rear lights and a Central armrest

BD, I notice you car and other cars are all snow white! I heard people from the USA told me that they boil water and spead onto their cars before they can open and get in it. You guys all have your cars kept outdoor. Why not getting a little room for your favorite car? You know every year thousand of junk cars from the USA are exported to Cambodia, mostly Toyota Camry.

Ahh very funny!:D That white stuff is called snow. Many people in the US keep their cars in a garage. However I live in an apartment building and we don't have a garage. Besides if we did they probaly plow us in when it snowed. By the way it snowed about 13cm today. That makes for 1.40 meters of snow since November 1st. Trust me..that's a lot!

Hi Steelbird,

Thank you for posting the Cambodian wedding photos! Are you Chinese-Cambodian? Was the wedding conducted in Cambodia?

[SteelBird]

Hi Steelbird,

Thank you for posting the Cambodian wedding photos! Are you Chinese-Cambodian? Was the wedding conducted in Cambodia?

Yep, I'm a Cambodian Chinese and my wedding is in the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Actually, I'm mixed-blood. Very few Chinese living here can still be pure Chinese. The wedding is half Cambodian style and half Chinese style. Actually, every Chinese tradition here differ from those in China. ;)

Here is my city's Skyline! It's just a suburb of my 3.900 inhabitant metropole.
That Church is only the Catholic one, our big one is the Lutheranic but since it's beautifull tower got bombed away in the war we now only have the same random church tower as every german town has.
