I vote 'no mullet'... though that came later, for sure.
Posted by: M.C. | June 22, 2005 at 10:51 AM
HAHAHA! Go Judi! Dave shouldn't leave you alone with the blog and then bait you like that. When will he learn?
Posted by: Jessica R. | June 22, 2005 at 10:51 AM
Hey! Dave's wearing my glasses. Or at least the glasses I wore in the 4th grade.
Posted by: SlickRick | June 22, 2005 at 10:52 AM

Mullethead Ted
By Rockchild Habte-Cornbred
Mullet is a new word in my vocabulary
Since Dave shown us Ted, who looks like a Canary
A second look, Ted is not like a bird
More like Captain hook, but my big brother says "Nerd!"
A mullet Ted has, and online his pic sits
It's way out of style, so we photoshopped it
McTed, Tedbert, Ted ready for church
These pics got to Ted, so he's on the lurch
Do I have a Mullet, Ted keeps asking aroun
They tell him no, when they think he's a clown
Forever his nickname is Ted Mullethead
Everyone will find out, Ted might wish he was dead
This poem is in memory of my hamster Duckie, who my Uncle Cledus ate!
Posted by: Rockchild | June 22, 2005 at 10:54 AM
Okay, so Dave was the model for "Pinto" in Animal House. What's so wrong with that? And the kid in "Rushomre". And, oh, nevermind...
Posted by: Lairbo | June 22, 2005 at 10:54 AM
Lairbo, you nailed it "Rushmore" all the way (i knew what you meant).

I think my grandmother has a pair of glasses like those...
Posted by: elle | June 22, 2005 at 10:57 AM
TeeHee.
At least he's not in a blue shirt. Judging by the collar, I think it's a white shirt. Wonder if the buttons were blue? Or if there was a large blue ink stain on the pocket at least.
We could so turn that hair into a mullet. If we weren't at work. Working. Yeah. And if we were cruel evil type people.

No, no, no. That's Ernie on the old My Three Sons show.
Posted by: Zaphod | June 22, 2005 at 11:09 AM
EVERYBODY had those glasses. all that may be missing is the pen protector....
Posted by: queensbee | June 22, 2005 at 11:14 AM
Those are definitely "birth-control" glasses....

Did someone say Buddy Holly?
Posted by: Conor | June 22, 2005 at 11:30 AM
Does anybody else think that he looks a little like the lead singer in Weezer?
Posted by: b&d's brother | June 22, 2005 at 11:30 AM
BTW queensbee, it is called a POCKET protector, not a pen protector.
Posted by: b&d's brother | June 22, 2005 at 11:33 AM
That's very cool, Dave.
We finally have proof that you're not an alien life form carried to this planet at the start of your career from some far away constellation, like Humorea Boogaris or something.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | June 22, 2005 at 11:34 AM
Do I detect a bit of Donald Trump comb-over in Dave's hairstyle? Or did Dave just get a "swirly" from the guys on the football team?

Zaphod -- You're right. I see the Ernieness. But my eyes keep moving from this picture to the shots in the blog header, and -- I dunno. Did something change at the mitochondrial level at Haverford or are my eyes worse than I thought?
Posted by: everysandwich | June 22, 2005 at 11:37 AM
sorry about the double post, my computer didn't load as fast as my trigger finger could fire twice.

Is it me, or does he look like he could literally die of boredom right then?

Searching the photo for some small indication of the greatness to come....
Posted by: jamester | June 22, 2005 at 11:46 AM
I demand a recall of this blog thread, and furthermore demand that this thread be reissued with a more flattering picture of Dave to all the members of the blog.
Posted by: sophie | June 22, 2005 at 11:49 AM
I'm with Zaphod. Definitely Ernie.
OK, I'm not actually 'with' Zaphod (NTTAWWT). I'm just agreeing with him.
Posted by: qetzal | June 22, 2005 at 11:51 AM
Definitely Ernie; zaphod nailed it.
And no mullet or blue shirt. But man, the hair, the glasses, the horror!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 22, 2005 at 11:52 AM
Ernie!...Thats what was tryna' get through the fog.
n i'm thinkin' the vacant gaze and chubber cheek suggests a recent trip to the dentist.
Posted by: Cynthia | June 22, 2005 at 11:59 AM
Dave,
Do you remember what you were thinking when they took that picture?
I remember what I was thinking. I was thinking how cute I must look holding that giant teddy bear and wearing a green fedora.
Posted by: PollyPI | June 22, 2005 at 11:59 AM
...still searching...
Posted by: jamester | June 22, 2005 at 12:00 PM

Egads Judi! You looked like a boy. Ouch.

Say, now thats a good looking kid. Ibet he has a promising futere ahead of him!
Posted by: Bill | June 22, 2005 at 12:18 PM
judi,
will you please have a "thought balloon" contest with this photo?
Posted by: Christobol | June 22, 2005 at 12:32 PM
that's ok BD & co ... i didnt know - i only had geeeeeky glasses. i missed the rest of the ensemble.
Posted by: queensbee | June 22, 2005 at 12:35 PM
Polly Pi - did you wear your green fedora "fer Dora"? Warner Bros. cartoon from 1935
Posted by: Aunt Nancy | June 22, 2005 at 12:37 PM
C'mon, Dave is the classic case of the Ugly Duckling. He's very cute now!
Posted by: Guin | June 22, 2005 at 12:50 PM
Dave,
That's hot.
Posted by: bilge | June 22, 2005 at 12:50 PM
Pure sex.
Posted by: VictoriaE77 | June 22, 2005 at 12:54 PM
Wait a minute, I think maybe...
Nope, guess not. Still looking...
Posted by: jamester | June 22, 2005 at 12:59 PM
What we need now is a picture of slightly older Dave, when he lived in Pa, still had glasses and had a moustache as well! truly a man of many faces (but still not the guy to knock anybody else's hairdo)

Attention:
I have no idea who this person who SAYS he is my brother is. I know for a fact I have only two UGLY sisters. I disown you, whoever you are. You need to cease and desist from using my name, likeness, or a bad facimily of my biting sarcasm. If you do not, I will seek reparations in Internet Court. I will pursue, and receive from YOU, the sum of 1 billion internet dollars (to be redeemed at one of three online casinos). I realize this seems harsh, but I WILL have justice. Also, my name will now be "jaws" as I can only post intermitantly for fear of my job. I will sweep in and out when you least expect it and destroy Ted Habte-Mullet all over again. That is all. ("b&d's brother" is a freak! Avoid him like the plague!)
Posted by: BobNDougFan | June 22, 2005 at 02:19 PM
Do you remember what you were thinking when they took that picture?
Polly, I bet he was thinking "I hope they don't stuff my head in the toilet again. My mom will kill me if I ruin another suit."
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 22, 2005 at 02:27 PM
Props to Dave for keeping the same hairdo. I guess they had Flowbees back in the 40's.

Posted by: Chaz Stevens | June 22, 2005 at 02:59 PM
Before 1964, that picture was kinda normal. all the guys looked like that. except for the 'hoodlums' in leather jackets, who Jeff quite rightly notes were doing swirlies with guys who had glasses like dave's.
after 1964, only narcs wore those kind of glasses.
[i have a buspass on the geezer bus]
Posted by: queensbee | June 22, 2005 at 03:05 PM
No, see, the sad thing is those glasses are considered cool and stylish now (again, whatever). I seriously saw some guy walking around in some that could pass for my dad's old pair (reinforced steel frames painted black! Soooo stylish!), and he had just bought them! Scary.
Posted by: silver | June 22, 2005 at 03:18 PM
Man, I'm his son's age and I have to say Dave is pretty hot, as a teenager. Seriously.
All he needs is a iPod, and he looks like everyone else my age here is Seattle. He'd get a ton of dates now.

That's Touche Turtle.
Posted by: Mr. wizard | June 22, 2005 at 04:35 PM
No, technically, it is a pen protector. It protects all your pens from getting starch from your shirt pocket into the retraction mechanism, and thereby prolonging the usability of said pens.
Posted by: U.O | June 22, 2005 at 04:40 PM
(Sure do hope this doesn't turn into a quasi-double post ...)
jamester!
I found it! I found it! (You gotta know where to look!)
497th pixel from the left side, 129th row from the bottom ... that's it!
Posted by: U.O | June 22, 2005 at 04:57 PM
U.O. - if my tilt my head to the left and squint, I think I can make something out!
No, wait, it's just a smudge...
Still looking (counting pixels)...
Posted by: jamester | June 22, 2005 at 05:49 PM
Definetly Ernie.
Fun Fact for the geezer bus crowd....
Have you seen that commercial for that bladder incontinence pill ("Gotta go, gotta go right now...")(sorry for the earworm) with the couple in the row boat? Of course you have. Take a look at the guy in the boat. Guess who that, just past middle aged, guy is. Yep. It's Ernie! (Who, in real life, suffers from the unfortunate name Stanley Livingston.)
It worries me that I know all this.
Posted by: alanboss | June 22, 2005 at 07:16 PM
Would I be less of a geezer if I admit that I am also a Weezer fan?
Posted by: alanboss | June 22, 2005 at 07:17 PM
To expand on Chaz's comment, additional props to Dave for keeping the hair behind the do.
Posted by: everysandwich | June 22, 2005 at 07:33 PM
Oooh weeee oooh Dave looks just like Buddy Holly....
Posted by: Weezer | June 22, 2005 at 07:43 PM
Am I the onyl one who finds Dave in his dorkiness attractive?
Or is that just a dumb question?
Posted by: PinkSquirrel | June 22, 2005 at 07:45 PM
i thought it was pen protector. girls of course, didnt use them. we had gigantic purses with pens, and hairbrushes, and stupid notes from our friends and all kinds of stuff. wait. that's my purse now.
and a dork at 17 doesnt make you a dork at 50 whatever. when you look at that picture, you know what era it comes from....
Posted by: queensbee | June 23, 2005 at 04:12 AM

I had a crush on Ernie. His picture was even in one of those Teen Magazines. Not that I cut it out and put it on my wall, or anything. I mean, well, okay, I did.

Huh ... if I didn't know better, I would swear that was my husband's high school yearbook picture. And he graduated from high school in 1993. So, relatively speaking, Dave doesn't look quite as dorky as one might think.
And at least Dave still appears to have all his hair. Maybe having the miniature-Marine haircut as a young boy helped, in the long run.
