Holycrap. On my old laptop I just found a bunch of pictures that my mom scanned and sent me like three years ago.



Halloween, probably '78. Darth Heller in the fucking house.



Another Halloween get-up from '79 or '80. I think I was going for a Travolta-in-Grease look, but the Adidas shoes kinda threw off the authenticity. Oh, and that Omni ended up being my first car several years later. When Dry Heave used to go practice at the Mosh Palace, we'd somehow cram four guys, a couple of guitars and a bass, and a drum set into that hatchback. Amazing.



One year I had to be a fucking ZEBRA for the school play. At least I didn't have to be a clock like the chick on my right or a burnout like the kid in the middle, though.



I may have posted this one before, actually, but what the hell, yanno?



A famous family photo. Apparently I'd stolen my brother's boots and had so much fun I passed out. I was probably on a bender.



And finally, here's where my parents bought me: on a clearance table next to a lettuce crisper.

These pictures crack me up! You have a weird shoe fetish. And I like that your Vader cape is all crooked.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I know! I wish you could see the shoes in the Vader picture more clearly. They were some blue-and-yellow Adidas shits that probably should have been outlawed, they were so ugly.

[shlorp.livejournal.com]

I had some lame shoes too growing up. Yay for poor parents!

Wow...Mr Hellery, these are the best photos you've posted in a long time...possibly ever!

I mean...HA the boots! And the John Travolta is amazing. I...I...words fail to describe the glee this image is giving me.

(side note: I saw something two nights ago that made me wish I had my camera on hand...a woman in front of me in my ghetto-tastic neighborhood was wearing skin tight jeans with gold, sparkly raised letters on the backside. These letters spelled 'Juicy Bottoms.' omg. I totally thought of you. Which...could be just weird, come to think of it)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Good lord. I think that's a flippin' COMB in my right hand.

LOVE the Juicy Bottoms! I saw the word "juicy" on some product the other day, and it made me think of this girl I went to school with who nicknamed herself "Juicy" and wrote it everywhere. One time she wrote that on an English test, and I'll never forget our drill sergeant-like teacher, Ms. Jimmye Allen, demanding in her gruff voice of the whole class, "WHO IS JUICY?!?!?!?" It sounded forty kinds of wrong.

It's probably a good thing that you didn't try to get a picture of Ms. Juicy Bottoms' ass, though. You coulda got sliced!

[lulu-girl.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOL yeah, that's a comb. RAD. You look like Johnny Depp in Cry Baby. HA.

"WHO IS JUICY?!?!?!?" <--i just pee'd a little

These pictures are AWESOME!! The 2nd and the last one are my favorites.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! That last one is pretty funny--my folks laugh about that one to this day. :)

[buscemi.livejournal.com]

Heehee! These photos are teh awesome. Thanks for posting them, mang. :)

Do I even want to know what that bear is doing? Probably not. ;)

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

:)

Yeah man, I was thinking when I posted these that the bear looked kinda wrong perched up there. ;)

[jetgirl23.livejournal.com]

Bahaha! I love these! How in the world are your feets turned in the Travolta one?! ;)

I was just noticing that!!! I musta had SNAKE HIPS to be able to contort like that! I wonder if I was trying to DANCE, for dog's sake!?!?!?

Then there's this:



Egad. It's a wonder I can walk at all!!!

[jetgirl23.livejournal.com]

Oouch! and damn, why are you watching a blank tv? or were you waiting for it to come on? or was that glowing white or brainwashing you?!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

I think the flash fucked it up. :) I remember trying to take pictures of TV screens to record my Atari high scores, and they never turned out, either!

[jetgirl23.livejournal.com]

Hehehe.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

You're right, though---I should probably submit that photo to the Ghost Hunters as evidence of a haunting in my Uncle Ray's house. :D

[here2bsilly.livejournal.com]

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yap, back in the day before it all went wrong. :P

[liminal-space.livejournal.com]

SQUEE!!!!!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Geseundheit! :D

[tupelo.livejournal.com]

You are obviously the coolest kid on my block.

The boots picture had me cracking up at my desk.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

:) I do love that picture, even if I am the subject.

This might not be the time or place to say it, Chris (and it may strike you as odd) but your brother being gone is one of the most hollow and sad memories of my early life. It's my earliest memory of someone experiencing a death in their family. Yeah, probably not the time or place to say it. But, it's also one of the main reasons I have always had a big ol' heterosexual soft spot for you in my burly manly hairy-chested heart.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Not odd at all sir, and thank you for saying it. :) You're a good egg, you burly manly hairy-chested sweetheart, you!

[lastcallforcorn.livejournal.com]

you're a total doll. our korean babies are going to be SO CUTE (at halloween).

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

We got to get started, or else we'll be too old to keep up with the little buggers!
