it comes in pints?

Wow Ken, I didn't know that you were in the Doobie Brothers!

That kid in the blue t-shirt and cutoffs... did he have five copies of that outfit or something?

Wow.

Bulgy.

Emily, it was my pleasure.

Ken, buddy, all I can say is... ya shoulda paid me to keep quiet.

:-)

It's okay. I blame the drugs.

I was going to blame the drugs, too, but you didn't really seem like the type.

Ken was a co-ed?

Ken lived on the stoner floor. Hey, if you want good dope, ask a chemist!

I wondered the same thing, Mr. Bingley. I wonder if "his" wife knows about "his" secret?

That's so funny to think of a place where there's just one "stoner floor." You could have said that about any floor in any dorm for any building on campus at Humboldt State. Even the academic ones.

Mr. B. -- I left the question of gender sort of dubious, since it's kind of hard to sort the boys from the girls in these photos.

Well, at the time we had 8 dorms at our college, and 8 colleges at the university. So I can't speak for the whole campus regarding stoner floors (I didn't get around THAT much...) (Shut up, Ken!) :-)

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out which was the non-stoner floor...

Oh, and since she didn't see fit to mention herself, Julie is is in the second pic far right in the blue dress (in front of the guy in the red t-shirt, who was my roommate that year).

Oops, missed that line where you said Julie was. Red t-shirt guy was my roomie that year, guy between me and him was my roomie sophomore year.

Uh, I mentioned it, Ken. Are you sure you're still not on the stoner floor?

The effects can last for years...

And with that, I'm outta here again. Catch you next week.

Now that I'm at home, and the photos aren't blocked by the firewall at work, I can see that Ken is indeed a "David Koresh" look alike. Scary.....I never realized that Ken was a cult leader.

And a DEAD one at that, Jeff!

Ooooo, Emily! "Ken Summers, Cult Leader and Zombie at large"!

I dunno. They all kinda look like David Koresh.

If I've identified Ken properly, he looks like a boy I knew in high school named Rusty. Had the same kind of shirt, hair, and glasses. I always meant to have a crush on him, but I never got around to it.

I envy the legs on that gal lying on the grass.

Oops, wait. That's a boy. Well, still...

Madre de Dios, my eyes! The 70's burns them!

Seriously, though, Ken doesn't really look all THAT much different now. Add a mustache and a haircut and that's about it.

These are so reminding me of my uncles, except one would have to be wearing a dashiki (not sure if I spelled that right).

I think I'd need a picture of David Koresh smiling to make a decent comparison to Ken. And Ken, Julie--please tell me Ken's sophomore year roommate is standing on something in the second photo. He looks gigantic!

David Koresh smiling.

Oh yeah. . .

(BTW I meant to say earlier that Julie looks cute.)

Doesn't she? She's got a killer smile.

Thanks, Kate and Emily. I still have the same smile, but add 100+ pounds to the body (siiigh)...

Oh, and yes, Kate, he's standing on a picnic table that the rest of us are sitting on. He was actually on the short side. (Of course, almost everyone is 'on the short side' to me, since I'm 6'2!)

Y'know, I had him pegged before I read the captions. Something about that face seemed to fit the Ken we know. (Odd, because we've never actually met.) Maybe it's the perpetual smartass look.

Julie, you're 6'2? Cool! If you were from Tennessee or maybe Birmingham, that would be perfect. ("She's long, and she's tall...") You certainly were a looker.

Joel,
It's probably never a good idea to tell a lady that she was a looker. I mean, unless she's like 80 or something. That might be okay.

Hey, that's ok. I take it as a compliment :-)

Emily, I stand corrected. Julie, you are undoubtedly lovely to look upon, as evidenced by your picture from 30 years ago. (Is that better?)

Awww, thanky, Joel!

But, as a friend says, "Ya can't shine a sneaker!" :-)
