Here 's my "favourite "


sjosss

would you look at that hair? lol!

Dem were bubbles, not hair. I've not had hair that long since 1997 when I cut off 2 feet of it before moving to Bonaire :-)

Jake

lol Jake, it kind of looks like Will Ferril's hair in Zoolander...or...the bubbles look like it...

will you forget about that hair ....Just try to imagine the shear horror I was experiencing , lurking at the cams , turning away ,turning back and suddenly being STARED at by somebody inside my desktopmonitor !!!!

It freaked me out , still does !!!

Jake , do you have fotographic evidence of ever having had hair over 2 ft long???

LOL


sjosss

I think Linda has a picture of me with my "Jesus Hair" (just put me in a white robe, and the image would have been complete) :-)

You'll have to ask her for it ;-)

Jake

Now there's a thought Jake !

Linda Linda , come out where ever you are !!!

LOL , Sjossss

Linda...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...omg, Jake with Jesus hair and a robe...just add birkenstocks

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your special day!

Remember he said it was okay.
Remember he encouraged you to ask for it.

This is Jake in November 1995. Front and back just like a mug shot ;-)

Need....to.....breath......can't.....stop......help.....ROFLMAO!!!!!!

LaDonna

I am speechless...Linda, I can see why you fell in love with him...Jake, I would have NEVER pictured you with long Jesus hair...thanks for sharing with us...I"m looking at that pic, and then the Godfather pic Timmy mastered...omg...are you sure you weren't raised in CaliFORniA?

(Message edited by cyndelee on August 21, 2006)

Mind you, that was even 18 months before I cut my hair to its current shortness, so it was even longer than in those delightful photos Linda posted. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested she do that, huh? ;-)

Jake

Jake, it's good Linda posted them I had long hair too at one time ;-)

Well , ...... it wasn't a good cup of coffee anyway, .... off to find a mop to clean my keyboard and desk and monitor , ....


Jake , you do realise this will be held against you , ...?
timmmmmmmyyyyy , please be gentle,....

linda , ...THANK YOU !!!

Happy Birthday, Jake!!!

You are ONE SPECIAL GUY --- I'll never forget how kind you were to me when I was such a scaredy new diver - that made a real difference!!!
Love, Peace and Joy!!!
Josie

PS. just measured : 1 foot 8 inches , hairlenght ofcourse , dûh.

A big Happy Birthday Jake. Have many more.

First...MUAH! Big birthday kiss to you Jake!

But the long hair?? I LOVE IT! I'm one of the few women who still love long hair! I even belong to a group on My Space for women that love long haired men! Thanks Linda!

See you both in Dec!

Myspace groups of "long haired men" loving women???

Did I mention : PS. just measured : 1 foot 8 inches , hairlenght ofcourse , dûh.


sjosss

Yeah..My Space is not just for kids like the media would have you believe. And there are a million different groups you can join on there..there is a group for everything, I swear!

Sounds like your hair is long too Jos...cool! I have found that most of the women I know that like long hair on men are usually in the 40 and over age group. I guess it's a leftover of the long hair of the 60's and 70's.

sjoss...lol...now how bout a good pic of that long hair...hey, isn't that a song?

She asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy.
I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright.
I'm hairy high and low, don't ask me why, don't know.
It's not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead.
Darlin'

Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair.
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen.
Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there, momma, ev'rywhere, daddy, daddy.

hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair. Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair.

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees, give a home to the fleas in my hair.
A home for fleas (yeah) a hive for bees (yeah),
a nest for birds, there ain't no words for the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my:

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair

I want long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty,
oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen,
knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided,
powered, flowered and confettied, bangled, tangled, spangled and spahettied.

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair. Flow it, show it,
long as God can grow it, my hair

They'll be ga-ga at the go-go when they see me in my toga,
my toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair.
My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallelujah I adore it, Hallelujah Mary loved her son, why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair
Folw it, show it
long as God can grow it, my hair

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair
Folw it, show it
long as God can grow it, my hair

OMG Cynde! Now you are REALLY bringing back the 60's with the song from "Hair"!! I loved that play when it came out...with the oh so shocking (NOT!) nude scene!

Cynde !!!I just sang out loud , could just contain my self from dancing on my desk , ....

FGS ,I am an Aquarius too , LOL.

Mercy , you put a big smile on my face , ...gotta love Bonaire Talk. Just toooooo funny.

Off to finish work , slow day , despite a major crisis in fresh water supply.
Funny isn't it , rain is pouring down and we have a fresh water malfunction , just can't can rain can ya???

omg... I am dying... somehow I could actually picture that, though!

From the back he looks like Gregg Allman! LOL!

OMG JAKE!!!! And Martin just tells me it isn't that bad! Linda, please protect us from ourselves next time when we ask for something like this!

Angela, I'm hoping to see a picture of Linda circa 1995 now...

Ya'll is Funny
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to Da Man!
You know birthdays are actually meant to be celebrated for the whole month... hope you have a great time

I must add this....60...Jake....come on?...your not 60!....someone screwed up you birth certificate (as they did mine..."Newman!" )
I'd say your about 38ish.....not a bad age....
Keep on diving...the salt water does a body good!

Meryl...who said he was 60? I'm CORNfused! lol!

Just trying to make him feel better....like it could always feel worse.....

sorry I could not resist...forgive me Lord and bless the pygmies in New Guinea Amen

Meryl, I appreciate the 38, but I actually turned 42 yesterday.

Nice job Timmy! Looks just like me, eh? :-)

The long hair was the result of a really early mid-life crisis (at age 28 or 29) - the beard (which I still sport, mostly out of laziness now) originated then too.

Jake

timmy...wow...that's cool.


Jake, you must feel pretty good...you've now been immortalized as the Godfather AND Jesus...lol!

I bet Linda's glad you went through the mid-life crisis early and got it over with...lol...

I just showed the long hair pic to Michael...Jake, he said you look like Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) in the movie Big Trouble...you do!

Heh.

The long hair was pretty much the extent of my acting on my mid-life crisis. Much better to have gotten that done and over with earlier rather than later :-)

Jake

Jake , midlife at 28 means retirement at 56????

Timmmmyyyyyy , you're da man , we worship thy Photoshop wizard!!!!

I'm with Seb , how about getting even an "give" us a picture of Linda , can't imagine anything being wrong with that can I??? The Picture itself , I mean,LOL.

Sjosss

The day I retire from working, Jos, will be the day I'm sent to the bottom of the ocean in my titanium coffin ;-)

Jake

Oh, and there's nothing quite so drastic of Linda (plus, she maintains all the old pictures in our family, so I'd never get them!)

Jake

Jake, a belated Happy Birthday from Gary & Kathy Long. Will be there Nov 4-11, coming in on the red-eye. How about a cold beer for your birthday present?

Jake , I didn't want to put it that dramatic in to words , but well , ....
like someone onces said ( probably philosoficly meant) : if you turn your hobby into work , you don't have to work another day in your life .

About the picure , looks may stay the same but fashion , OMG, those 90's fashion pictures , LMAO!!!


Sjosss
