"Piratanical Pete"


This image is real.
Do not adjust your screen.
Do not pass Go.

This is my current driver's licence photo: As no one is ever rewarded with a good driver's licence photo why not make a bright moment of something so dull and boring, especially if it will turn out really disgusting anyway? I am thinking that next time I will swap the eye patch to left eye.

This picture supercedes the previous 'ganster' look I had going, with slicked hair, puffed cheeks, and sun glasses. I used that previous licence as a photo-ID, at the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority to change my licence address, and the service guy behind the counter cracked-up and asked his work collegue to come have a look, and they both laughed their heads off! I thought that sort of thing only happened on a Comedy Skit show on TV, as I once saw.

Hey Tracie,
Thanks for the vote of blogfidence. I like this look too. The other one, well, it was just too 'page-y', too conservative for me. I see myself as a bit of a radical-conservative and like to gently push the (my?)boundaries. My new blog-look is an off the shelf one, but for me it is different. It also presents photos a whole lot better than the other parchment look.
I am enjoying it too. Even has me fiddling with the code which I haven't done for yonks.

Re Jason... I googled his reply and there were 358 hits. Maybe it is a bot, or maybe he is just shallow and bone lazy and can't be bothered to really engage with what's before him.
Who knows...
Peter
