This image dates back to the early dial-up era, but I don’t know where it came from and I see no other instances of it on the internet. Is anyone else familiar with this photo or able to shed any light on the story behind it? Click to embiggen.

    upvoted for great justice.

    I really want to know who this man is now, I enjoy the coincidences of life when somebody actually knows.

    Embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word.

    Is he wanted by the police? He does look a bit creepy. And the gun…?

    A young Chuck Norris? Or someone who should be on the “Pick the Perp” website.

    Those are the best guesses I’ve hear so far, WriterX. What do you think the charge would be?

  13. WriterX (Reply) on Sunday 10, 2009

    Herocious, I’d have to say the charge would be “utter forged document” because I have no idea what that means.

    I don’t know who he is, but if you stare at his image for about 30 seconds you start to get the urge to challenge people to man-on-man combat, knock women over the head with a club and drag them back to your cave and kill an animal with your bare hands and drink its blood…plus you start to grow hair in the strangest places.

    It looks like it made in along the coast of Southern California. I don’t see any trees, so I’d guess it’s South of Pismo Beach, roughly. There are stretches south of, roughly, San Simeon that don’t have a lot of trees, so it could be there, too, but the brush covering the hills doesn’t look like it’s from that area. Even still, it’s hard to say. I don’t see any roads, so it’s somewhere that Pacific Coast Highway runs inland a bit. If I had to guess I’d say somewhere around Lompoc or Avila beach. I could be a picture from Mexico, but I don’t know enough about what it actually looks like to say.
