  • Does anyone here not have this picture?

    Are there any RMs that don't have a variation of this picture collecting dust somewhere (if I could find mine, I would be lucky to name 1 other person than myself). I'm willing to bet SU even has a sharp looking haircut, with a chest protector tie, and is pointing to whatever 3rd world place scarred him for life, unless he was an LTMer.

    I have one. Unfortunately, the neck on the shirt I was wearing was far too big, and you can see the top of my crew neck g-top. Of course, it looked ridiculous. Therefore, I shall never share it.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Yes. map pointing pics are awesome!

        I am old school. I also have one taken from above at the floor map in the SLC airport. That shot has been impossible for years, even prior to 9/11, because of the airport remodel.

          Definitely, although the effect is lost when it is your MTC district all pointing to the same place. In other words, you get the maximum dork effect with high school or college buddies.

          Note: Bonus points in the above-posted for the inclusion of a sister. Bonus bonus points for her ghastly Christmas ensemble.

            Actually, I don't think I ever posed for this picture.

            However, I do have a picture of me propping myself up between the walls of the hallway so I'm parallel with the floor. I think this is the on of only two pictures that could be more common than the picture you posted.

            But it doesn't compete with the the pseudo-GQ trenchcoat and sunglasses pose. Fortunately, I didn't do that one either.

            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

              10-1 the Elder to the right of the sister w/ the burka headdress got sent home early. No one with a haircut like that is going to hack two years in Portugal.

                A couple of these Elders look like they have NBA First Rounder suits. Has Mr. Mac gotten the message yet that four and five button suits aren't in style anymore or do they just know their customer base too well? Would there be a boycott of Mr. Mac if they stopped carrying NBA First Rounders? Seriously, those things are the equivalent of the dark teal suits that every third missionary was wearing back in 1996 when I was there.

                  I don't have a mission photo like that, but I do have one of a couple of guys from my MTC district getting searched by security at the airport in Milan.

                    But can he cut it in Hungary? That is the real question.

                      Triple bonus for having a potentially-closeted gay Elder in the pic.

                      Also, how much says that at one point, every Elder in the district had some sort of brief crush on this sister.

                      Sister missionaries are hot when you are in the MTC.

                          I almost started a thread on this very topic when I looked at this picture. Then I thought that people might think less of me. I'm glad to know that you wouldn't have!

                          I had a crush on a sister missionary whose class was next to mine. Rumor was that she went to massage therapy school beforehand. My whole district was freaking out at that thought.

                            Because of its size. Digital cameras weren't around in 1996 and the size of the photo indicates this came from a digital camera, unless someone chose to scan in a picture out of focus and blow it up to a point where you have to scroll over to see the entire photo.

                            Besides, there's not a single Caesar do in the photo. At least 2/3 of the missionaries in 1996 were rocking the 1999 Alex Jensen. It would have been extremely difficult to have a group of 4 or 5 missionaries and not have a single Caesar in the bunch.
                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                              Sister Missionaries did not appear attractive to me until the END of my mission.

                              In the MTC? For reals?

                              And...my MTC companion was and IS gay. I always thought he was just inexperienced....and a bit of a mama's boy.
