Dressed to Kill
FOUND by Christie Kelly
in Jacksonville, Florida
I was browsing a book in the hospice thrift store when this photo fell out. Strangely, it was found in a book about the Bermuda Triangle! It looks very old but is in excellent condition.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I hope he's going to the Found Ball. I wanna party with this dude!!
Yeah, he's dreamy....
He could pin a corsage on me any time.
I wish my prom date had looked this classy!
"Mystery D-a-a-a-t-e, are you ready for your Mystery D-a-a-a-t-e?"
For the record, if anyone else remembers this jingle, the game belonged to my older (much older) sister, and her dreamboat turned out to be a dud. She should have slammed the little door...
He looks like he's one of the band members from the 'Monkees'!
Ah. He really is dreamy!
I bet he was a tender lover. I mean, what else is prom for?
oops. did i say/ type that?!
This is probably the first time anyone had seen him in a suit, at least at this height. (Probably grew 5" taller since the last time!) (last year!)
@ CLOVER - I did respond to your ??s on #1862.
This guy made it big in TV, but was never really *seen* again, as his major role through his 20s was as Mayor McCheese in the McDonalds commercials; and pretty much after that he was Big Bird, until he developed a smack habit, became unreliable, and they sacked him.
I guess some women might consider that dreamy, but...
His hair is currently lost in the Bermuda Triangle, along with that track star physique.
I'd go with early 1970's on the photo.
And what's that orange thing on the door down at knee level?
I must be old because I don't think it looks "very old". I guess I think of very old as something from 1900 or so...
...and then there's those of us who are hot for farmers.
Yeah, I was mentally singing the Mystry Date song and remembering the original (1960s) commercial when it came out. And then I read Jan's post about the "old" board game that belonged to her "older (much older)" sister. Jan, and I say this in a most loving way: bite me.
I concur with Librarian about the time frame. It definitely wasn't mid- to late-70s since the bow tie would have been large enough to looked like a mutant butterfly was attacking his neck. If it had been late 60s, a kid that clean cut would have had shorter hair. So, early 1970's it is.
As for the orange thing, it looks like a harmonica to me. A strange, floating harmonica. Perhaps his litte sister (Jan is that you?) just threw it at him?
He's on his way to the Fish Under the Sea dance.
The name is Bond. Doug Bond.
This is the guy that whatshername from yesterday ended up with. She decided to go young, with not so much baggage. Trainable, you know?
That's my prom date!
Anybody think Mona and Pepper are the same. I think Mona has an alter ego (Pepper). They always seem to post right after each other.
Anyone think Pepper and Paul are the same person?
i barely have an ego, whereas Pepper has enough for the whole board.
Since we have unofficially determined this is the 70's, that is a floating pack of Zig Zags.
I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, we're a pepper; wouldn't you like to be a pepper too? be a pepper, drink dr pepper, yeah!
I think the orange thingie is some sort of sticker, so the person IN the apartment can tell if someone opened the door. Usually people who use the tell-tale-tape burgular alert (or teenager sneaking out) system use transparent tape, so that it's not so noticable, but maybe...?
I'm inclined to believe Tara. This could be one of the only times the Holy Shit Here Comes Mom Pitch has been caught on film. Just don't forget to smile!
"Mystery Date" indeed! Or, it's Barbie's 'other' boyfriend Todd. . . .
He looks like he's the logo for "MATEL" printed on his ass.
OR, he's the guy who starred in those early MENTOS ads - you know. "The Freshmaker!"
Pepper could be anyone.
I love this picture. He is definitely dressed to impressed! I wish my prom date looked more like him, too!
Tara, i have to disagree. Pepper can be anyone, but anyone can't be pepper.
Oops...dressed to impress* haha
read before you post, read before you post...
Anyone can be pepper, but pepper can't be anyone.
I still don't get it.
Hey first poster way up top: before I saw even one comment my thought was FOUND BALL!
This is my date for a halloween party a few years ago. He was dressed as Rick Blaine. I wore blue (the Germans wore gray).
It really does look like my prom date from the Senior prom. How weird!
He looks gay to me, so maybe this is some sort of coming out thing.
This guy left his job with Merrill Lynch in 1989 to become a pastor of a small non-denominational church. He still has most of his hair, runs 1/2 marathons and is a rabid baseball fan.
Unless I'm confusing him with the guy who was committed to the Willard Psychiatric Hospital in 1979.
Lance Armstrong would be very interested in a Found Ball.
ahem...
Maybe he's just about to leave for his first paying job as a waiter for the local hotel caterer and mom wanted to take his photo as a remembrance of the happy occasion.
No prom involved.
UNTIL that fateful night when he had to serve dinner to tables full of kids from his high school (he didn't have a date and, having forgotten what night it was, agreed to work). From then on his life was one bad turn after another until he auditioned for a local stage production of Rocky Horror Picture Show and pulled this suit out of the closet to rid it of its bad mojo.

"Hi - Brad Majors;" [ASSHOLE!!!] "and this is my fiance, Janet Weiss." [SLUT!!!]
Librarian LOL!
Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl, show me all around the world, Brownsville girl, you're my honey love.
Sorry, launched into a little Dylan there.
I'm over ot now.
This guy reminds me of a young Mo Roca or whatever his name is.
One of the commentators from the VH1 I love the... shows.
Hey mona, I'm really insulted. Honestly, you two always post right after one another. Either you have a) the same schedule in the day b) one is stalking the other c) you are the same. I wouldn't be surprised if one or the other is just engaging in found sparing with themselves.
Jesus Christ, get a room.
I'm sorry you're tired, I'm just trying to clear things up.
I got you... under my skin...
I got you... deep in the heart of me...
Don't you know, silly fool, that you never can win...
'Cause I got you... under my skin...
(Lots of snapping and jazzy finger pointing)
As a side note, isn't ANYthing strange if it's found in a book about the Bermuda Triangle?
This guy looks like John Voight in his Midnight Cowboy days.
Looks like a teacher I know. He hasn't changed all that much since the early 1970's.
@Camelia, I answered your answer on #1862.
it looks like someone stuck one of those plastic bike reflector things on the door. Maybe in case you can't see the door well enough? Or maybe someone was riding their bike and backed into the door and the reflector just stuck there. Dunno.
I think this is Doug Fieger from The Knack.
Paul, i'm sorry for being snarky. I am not pepper. Pepper is not me. Sometimes he/she impostors me, but i don't impostor anyone. I'm only mona lisa (although sometimes i post something under a totally different name, just cuz i feel like it, but i never impostor anyone)
that's ray norton and this pic has to be pre-1970
He looks like Krist Novoselic, pre-Nirvana.
@Turbo- you never fail to make me laugh!
Also, is it just me, or does the doorknob look like it is up higher than it is nowadays?
That does look like a pack of Zig Zags...
Prom? Wedding? Night on the town? The possibilities are endless!
OMG, it's my cousin Biff! He vanished in 1970 in the Bermuda Triangle and was never seen again. Looks like he made it to the prom somehow, somewhere . . .
He sure is shiny.
What's that orange rectangular thing in the lower right hand corner?
