geeky school photo contest!

Do you think you have a school picture geekier-looking than mine? If so, send me the URL (please don't send me images through email without asking me first, thanks) and I'll take a look at it. If I deign it geeky enough, I'll add it to a gallery here, with a link to your webpage. Prize: prestige (of a sort). Humble thanks to Scott Ruthfield for choosing this page as Geek Site Of The Day on June 9, 1997.

Update: I've decided to an extra geeky gallery or two since so people have been sending me highly amusing photos that haven't really fit into the Official Geeky School Photo category but that deserve to be displayed somewhere. So be sure to check out the Geeky School Photo ID section.

	Lissa Allcock writes: This is definitely me at my most geeky. Particularly since I didn't take the chain with my front door key on it off before having the photo taken. The lace just makes me cringe - I can't imagine wearing that, and it's only the photographic evidence which makes me believe I ever did.
	Jim Egan writes: "Dear God, bless my hair. Our beloved Jimmy has grown up to be quite the globe trotting hunk of burning love that his childhood pictorals promised, and then some. Sorry ladies, he's taken. But to the world I say, let us all join hands and sing proudly, raised glass to the heavens and say with Jim, "Dear God, bless his hair" (for much of it is now gone)."
	Jeff Davis writes: "Through sheer happenstance, I followed a link and ended up at your Geek School Photo contest page. I laughed, and recognized immediately that this was right up my alley, so I thought I had to share. Now, I hate to toot my own horn here, but I think that my Third Grade Look gives your own geek picture a good run for its money."
	Mike Lloyd. Frankly, I think this photo is a little too CUTE to be on this page, but the little tuft of hair sticking up makes all the difference. :-)
	My friend Rand. Check out his band, Ookla The Mok or the Unofficial Ookla The Mok Fan Club Page, and buy their new CD! "as you can see, this picture was taken during the period of my life when everyone kept mistaking me for jim morrison. you'd think a seventh grader would enjoy that much attention, but it was a nightmare. it became such a hassle that i had to stop riding the bus to school. the following year, i got contact lenses, and all was well until people started thinking i was sly stone."
	The glasses are perfect, don't you think? Find out more about Kevin in his webpage. "Thanks for providing this invaluable service! Here's a chance for all of us who had plenty of wallet sized class pictures left over because we weren't going to show them to anybody to share them with others like ourselves!"
	Richard's school photo is an intriguing mix of Leave It To Beaver and Calvin & Hobbes. LOVE the haircut. :-) Check out Nuclear Toast. "A future stud in the first grade. Dig those Ross Perot ears!"
	This classic school photo of my friend Paul Kwinn was generously donated by his wife without his knowledge. As far as I know, he still doesn't know it's on the web. :-)
	No wonder Betsy eventually got to together with Eddie...it was obvious they were destined for each other. :-) "This has to be one of my geekiest school photos- 3rd grade. I didn't wear this uniform on purpose - I SWEAR ! ! (I promise to do my duty, to Bob and my country...) "
	The first addition to the Gallery! The pencil and book add a nice geeky touch, though Eddie is almost a little Too Photogenic for this page. :-) Don't forget to check out Ed's Space. "Debbie, Thank you for including me in your "Geeky School Photo Page" also your editorial comments about my picture are far too kind (blushing yet enjoying the retro ego massage). And if I may comment on your school picture...If I would have shared school space with you I'm sure I would have been vying for your attention."
