36 Years of Quality

Hiya. Today is my 36th birthday. I’m old as dirt and have the gray hair to prove it. But I wasn’t always this way. Observe…

Born 11:15pm, 10.19.72
No wonder I’m such a night owl…

Oh lookit that funny guy, it’s
Super Mister Potato Head! (3 months)

My first of many hooded sweatshirts (Age 2)

There was a time when I didn’t think baseball was boring. (Age 4)

Little bro Robby and I in our “new” kitchen. (Age 5)

This didn’t last long. Once ‘Greatest American Hero’
moved to Wednesday nights, I quit. True story. (Age 7?)

No idea where we were, but I didn’t like my picture being taken.
(note red hooded sweatshirt tied around waist) (Age 14)

First and only year playing football. Why?
My girlfriend was a cheerleader. (Age 16)

Through some miracle, I graduated high school.
The cap didn’t fit my big head. (Class of ’91)

Many years and many beers later, I’m still rockin’ the mic.
(New Years Eve 2000)

Ah yes…of course there are many unaccounted years, but I’m really lazy tonight (it’s my b-day, for cryin’ out loud) so that’s all we’ve got for tonight. Here’s what I look like now. As you can see, not a lot has changed…

TKT. He’s all serious, y’all. (36 years old)

    -Suz

    Dan – The pleasure is all mine, sir!

    CJG – Thanks! Here’s hoping my b-day wish comes true!

    Suz – The Booze t-shirt? I had it made. I think it’s a hilarious word. I had one made for my friend that looked like it, except it said MURDER. That one didn’t go over as well.


  5. HAHA! Murder? I just cracked up!!!! I think I should have one that says “DOPE!”

    What do you think??? haha


  6. Thomas Kingsley Troupe

    Seriously. GET ONE. That would be…well, you know (DOPE).

    About the MURDER shirt: My friend wore it like twice. He said people just gave him the weirdest most uncomfortable looks ever. The BOOZE shirt is sooo much less threatening.

    And hilarious considering I don’t drink all that much…well, I did that night.

    Coming to the party late (as usual), but wanted to chime in. Happy Birthday, good sir.


  8. Late on the wishes, dangnabit, so let’s pretend today is also your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Loved the look back in time. Hope 36 treats you awesomely!


  9. Thomas Kingsley Troupe

    LRMB – It’s like you were here all along, fine sir. No worries.

    Courts – Thanks! Yeah, 36 doesn’t seem much different and/or as scary as I thought. We’ll see what I feel like where I’m staring down the barrel of 37. Yowza.


  10. Happy belated birthday, TKT!! :-D May you have many, many more!


  11. Sorry I missed it, but happy birthday! Hope it was a good one! P.S.–I’m, like, so superior here–at 37!
