My ID saga

I was inspired long ago by my buddy JR’s school ID to always have fun with my ID pictures. I made a big mistake and let my license expire after my last birthday. TRAGEDY!!! I had to go get a new picture taken and this one is shameful compared to my old one. My old picture was a classic. That ID won me drinks, made people laugh and cracked the ice with even the coldest waiter/waitress. At one point I had matching school ID’s and work ID’s to support the effect. Everybody loved my dumb/goofy license picture except cops. I only found one cop who thought it was funny and the others had zero sense of humor about it. I’m pretty sure cops have their sense of humor removed at Cop Camp.

I don’t know what happened this time. I lost my mojo. I think the ice cold and angry “ I have been doing this same boring job for 20 years, and might come in to work tomorrow with a shotgun and kill everyone” attitude that the DPS attendant who helped me had might have sucked the goofy smile out of me.
I also noticed that I haven’t updated how tall I am on there since I was 16. Not that I’m 6′3” or anything…but just found it funny.
What do you guys think? Should I try to get another pic, or should I wait it out until 2011?

  • I didn’t know you weighed that much (that’s a Zach original ;)

  • I love the silly picture, i would definitely get another. Although, you look very collegiate in the new one :)

  • Thanks for the comments Vix and Marcy!

    Vic, I haven’t used that one in a while. That was a fail safe gag that was a lot of fun: Ask a girl if you can see her ID and say something about the info onthere. Any comment about her hight, eye color, addy…anything will do. Then make the folling comment and watch for the reaction: “Reallly, you don’t look like you weigh that much”.
    They don’t print weight on TX drivers Lic’s, but it will get a good reaction every single time. :)

  • Wasn’t your TTU ID something similar? I actually think it was more funny looking, too.
