(this has the potential to go very wrong... but i dont mind laughing at myself so here goes!)

bad hair?
christmas jumper?
chubby kid?
awful fashion?

don't you just love embarrassing photos from other peoples childhoods?!

well i do anyway... of course there's no chance that people will volunteer themselves for ridicule so i might as well start:

Problem with this, well one of them 😉 , is most older pictures will not be digital. So unless people have negatives scanners this is doomed, doomed I say, to failure 8)

So much negativity. I put it down to the lack of carbs. 😉

People can take a digital photo of the original photo and upload that.

Which is what I did...it's the embarrassment we're concerned about, not the quality. Unless you're Mr. Jamie N. Egative.

Well I, and not for the first time, feel stupid for not thinking of that.

Shurrup you! My brain is not working cuz all the blood is in my muscles from pumping iron this morning brah!

I scanned and uploaded mine a while ago, so some of them have already been seen.
But not THE photo. I'd never live it down.
Here's a not-very-embarrassing one

You obviously want to post it, otherwise you wouldn't keep alluding to it.

Go on. You know you want to.

Do it.

Hmm.. ok, I'll post a cropped version. You'll have to use your imagination for the rest (it would have to be a warped imagination though)...
My parents were sick, man. Sick.

I bet since you're quite fat, you're sweating a fair bit on that plastic chair too.

Babies can't sweat, just like pigeons can't fart.

I'm in the process of suing Britney Spears; she clearly stole the 'skimpy vest and knee-length stockings' look from me...
