Are you sure about the year?

I was always of the impression you were younger than me and I wasn't born until 1957.

[Eichhörnchen]

I was born on 10th September 1955

(I only post photos that make me look younger)

[Jimbuna]

Most obviously!!

Bond. James Bond.

^Hey Eich almost baldy want a wig?

Of course you don't you are a real man like me, let the hair drop out and smile.

[Commander Wallace]

^ Too funny.



Eichhörnchen isn't going for that. He won't let his hair fall out. He got Rogaine to grow hair back but he accidentally spilled it on his hands and now he has hairy knuckles.

[Eichhörnchen]

Very funny... I've had all the bald jokes from my wife, so I am immune to them now

FACT..Balding men are hot lovers.

Only hotter men are the total bold men.

Great pictures. You still looked relatively clean cut in 1978 when most looked like real hippies. I see you kept the Mustache. You still don't have the English " bored with it all look " like 007 Eichornchen though.

IMHO, Eichhörnchen does have a formidable look about him, that which you term as Intrepid. In the last picture, you were just " chillin and maxing and relaxing " You and your generation did well with regards to careers and family, here in the U.S, England, Germany, Spain and other places.



It's always great to see how our Subsim members started and where their lives have taken them and the great successes they have and continue to have, as in your case, Eichhörnchen, Jim and many others.

Someone else saw this photo the other day and asked why I couldn't have smiled. "I was trying to look enigmatic" was my reply, but I must say that I prefer "bored with it all"

I do like "formidable" even more though, CW (my niece said that I look like a mobster)

I WAS REFERRING TO A MINOR ACE(18 VICTORIES?)OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR ACTUALLY WITH A SIMILAR THINNING HAIR STYLE : <A BOOK I READ AND GREATLY ENJOYED

Sir William Samuel Stephenson, CC, MC, DFC (January 23, 1897 – January 31, 1989) was a Canadian soldier, airman, business person, inventor, spymaster, and the senior representative of British intelligence for the entire western hemisphere during World War II. He is best known by his wartime intelligence code name Intrepid. Many people consider him to be one of the real life inspirations for James Bond. Ian Fleming himself once wrote, “James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is … William Stephenson.”

HIGH PRAISE FROM CAESAR HIMSELF IMHO
