The Forge Archives

Any forum with a self-fellatio forum HAS to have that thread where people post pictures of themselves (usually the best, apt pictures- the ones that conceal the acne, make them look thinner, usually holding swords, etc).  This is that thread.

Basically, I want to put faces to posters here.  I have seen pictures of Ron, Clint, seen Xiombarg in real life, and maybe one or two others. So, if you have a pic of yourself somewhere, post it here so that others can finally put a face to a name.

Oh, and out of respect for the Edwards (who requested that I didn't some time ago), just links please, if you got 'em.  Don't code the pic into the thred with img tags.

http://www.z-builder.com/rpg/forge/meboardgame.jpg - Taken at Trinoc-Con 2003.  I was enjoying one of them German board games.

http://www.z-builder.com/rpg/forge/memanga.jpg - Doing what I do best: Buying. Lots. Of. Manga. This pic was taken at the used manga store "Manga Darake" (Trans: "Manga Fuckin' Everywhere") near my hometown in Gunma Prefecture. About 2 years ago.

http://www.z-builder.com/rpg/forge/conan.jpg  This is my favorite pic from college, bar none.  This is when my social group through a bondage/Conan party.  I'm the one in the loincloth. It's a little "... ...huh?", but still, I like it. :)

Oddly, the only pictures of my online are in LARP costuming.

I find this one pretty amusing.  It's about 2-3 years old.  I have shorter hair and beard now.

P.S.  No, I don't look that grim all the time.  Ra'id was just a... grim sort of guy.

We'll go with this one for now.

I'm trying so very damn hard to be a hipster.

Me and my girlfriend in Vegas, doin' the Matrix thang. I don't remember ordering any giant champagne.

I'm sure some people have found my LiveJournal via another post, but here's a larger version (http://www.globalsurrealism.com/sac/me003.jpg) of a really grainy picture of me I use on the LiveJournal.

(I took this when I and some friends got on a kick of buying really cheap cameras that distort any photos you try to take with them. instant art!)

and here's a really bad picture of me (http://www.globalsurrealism.com/ark/image/carter.jpg) before I lost 30 pounds. gah.

Here I am in my "office" (http://home.centurytel.net/tribe22/rich_forest.jpg): the coffee shop near the university, which is where I escape to do most of my work.

(When I'm in my real office, you know, this internet thing-y is a bit too... accessible.)

My website  (http://billycook-singersongwriter.com/)has a photo of me.  Click on current events (http://billycook-singersongwriter.com/Current%20Events.asp?txtLatest=200403.txt&mnuArchive=200403.txt) and 200403 for one from last month at the bottom.  Such an angry man.

London I'm afraid (and not the one in Ontario)

Oh well.

It's a bit dark, which is nice.

I like this (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ravela/Itse.jpg) better.

Well, assuming someone cares how I look, here we go:

It's my face put on the famous messiah picture of Alan Moore. We have similar facial hair, though.

Umm, yeah,

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ravela/risto2.jpg

was me.

This (http://userpic.livejournal.com/4662140/920923) is me. Only the long hair is tied back.

That pic always cracks me up. Johnzo! Camera's over here, dude.

Missing from the UGAX contingent in that pic are Mark "Hafaza" Goodermote, Alan Barclay, and Jon Leitheusser, who I don't think has posted here.

Here's a recent pic from my wedding:

Here's a link to a photo of me from Sunday April 4th, 2004 at a woodcarving show.
You have to click the thumbnail, Tripod doesn't like linking directly to the photo, sorry.

I'm glad to know about the UGX photo.  It means that this (http://www.eskimo.com/~rkj/escape.jpg) is no longer the only photo of me on the web.

Here's the picture I use on other sites (kinda small):

Danielle took some photos at GenCon. Here's me with My Life with Master:

Someday I will put a picture of myself on my website, linked in my sig. Promise.

My picture is at my site in my bio section.  I took it myself with some freaky mirror/contortion thing.

Me doing the GQ thang. (http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v61/gobi90/gobinew04.jpg)
