That’s Right Ladies, He Was SINGLE

I know, it’s hard to believe, but this fine piece of 12 year old geek was single. Mind you, he had a TI-99/4A computer, a black and white television, and a laminated library card — but no woman could hold him down. In fact, it was so obvious to them, that none tried. :D

I know they say size doesn’t matter, but just look at those glasses. Oh yeah. You know what I’m talking about. Homeslice could see the whole computer screen without moving his head. (Coincidentally, the computer screen at that point was that aforementioned black and white TV. Uh hu, we kicked it old school.)

How did I happen upon this glorious bit of the 80s you might ask? Well, that’s what happens when your Mom starts a blog. :) So far there are no bathtub photos over there, but it’s probably just a matter of time.

    Your mother has a blog and is posting baby pictures of you — and I used to think it was embarrassing when my mother walked me to the bus stop in grade school. This is a dark side of teh Interwebz that no one ever anticipated…

    THANX SHAWN’S MOM, YOU MADE OUR DAY! :-)

    Shawn,

    I think it’s really rude of you to try showing your mother up by rotating the picture. I demand you turn it back on its side the way it’s supposed to be!

    Thanks for the proof.

    I questioned your geek status in the past but now you have provided irrefutable proof.

    Just out of view of the camera was your Klingon decoder and Star Trek playing cards :-)

    How did Donna see past the glasses?

    That is such a complete geek. Wow! You look like a UNIVAC technician! Sorry for stereotyping, but it’s faster.
