Putting Faces with Names

[danielplainview]

There are many people on the forum I'm proud to call my friends even though I've never seen them.
So introduce yourself and let's put some faces with names. Clenching a pipe is not mandatory but strongly advised.
Some of you may recognize my buddy.

Fun with signs at work.

I'm Duane, and I suck at posting images, but here's hopefully a larger version of my avatar. :mrgreen: And that's quite a powerful buddy you have there!

Dave is this actually you? I've been looking at your avatar all this time thinking that was you. Damn!

I grew a beard last year but shaved it off once it became too much of a focus.

In Florida, despite the Dagners, a beard doesn't 'sit' well.

Here I am wearing a touque made by a forum member's wife and smoking a pipe he sent to me for no apparent reason.

I'm no fan of the Sunday.

We took one last photo of my beard, before shaving me clean last night.

Sorry there's no pipe, but it was in a restaurant.

Here I am smoking a Dunhill that I did a radical restoration on. Never mind the bullet hole on my forehead.

Thanks for the assist Mike!

Yup, that's me in the avatar, Christmas morning with my new churchwarden pipe (2014 I think) wearing a fez my sister gave me from Turkey, in my bathrobe. Others make up a thoroughly interesting looking group.

@Orley
You should write a novel just so you can put that picture on the dust jacket.
@Scrooge
My avatar is Daniel Day Lewis from the movie There will be blood. Although I do occasionally cover my face with oil and wear 19th century clothing.

Dave, so you're not DDL??!? WTF?! I can't say I'm not disappointed, but it's not entirely your fault.

Here's Toby Ducote and I in New Orleans last in 2014 (I'm in the left).
