Photo op.

An association I work with asked for a photo of me yesterday to put on their web site.  It made me realize that I only have pictures of myself in T-shirts or wearing underpants on my head.  I don’t have anything professional and corporate.

So I asked my colleague to take some pictures of me.  One of them I posed for, and the other one shows me doing one of my frequent workplace activities.

But now I can’t decide which one to send.

Option #1

Option #2

Hubba Hubba.  And the first one isn’t bad, either.

It’s GOTTA be #2

Posted by bluepoppy  on  05/19  at  04:32 AM

Hmmm.  I think the first one.  The stripes are slimming.

I’m having trouble distinguishing which one is the before picture and which one the after.

Posted by Keith  on  05/19  at  05:32 AM

I think you’re very handsome and serious looking in the Option #1. In Option #2, you look like the man I may want to marry (except I’m already getting married).

Definitely send them Option #2.

Wow! Who knew you were hot! With your sense of humor I figured you had to be kind of geeky looking. I’m sorry to find out about your drinking problem though. Hang in there.

Veeeeery Professional.  And hot.  You should be Mr. October in the ‘05 HR HUNKS Calendar!  CHEERS!

When does the calendar come out?

Fully, I’m guessing that the drinking problem is that he can’t find his mouth? And I’d like to see the photos with underpants on your head before I make any decisions. Are they YOUR underwear, or some random stripper’s? See? Important questions. 

Posted by Lynne  on  05/19  at  06:52 AM

Option # 1, of course.  We musn’t let anyone know the story of Option #2.

Posted by susan  on  05/19  at  06:55 AM

Hmmm… I think you should superimpose the first one on to the second one as if to say, on the outside I’m like #1, but on the inside… PARTAAAAAY!

Posted by gimmy  on  05/19  at  07:00 AM

Refreshing wit, and you look hot in number two.  smile I’m a new reader, but quite hooked.

Posted by  on  05/19  at  07:02 AM

Didn’t I see a picture of you somewhere else on the internet in a hot tub with a bunch of ladies? For that photo project thing? I’d submit that one everywhere I could, if I were you.

Posted by Jess  on  05/19  at  07:07 AM

Gimmy said what I was going to say. Sort of. Yeah. 

Posted by anna  on  05/19  at  07:33 AM

I, too, want with underpants on head to before making a decision.  Bonus points if they’re Underoos.

Posted by Elle  on  05/19  at  07:34 AM

and points off if they’re y-fronts ...

you know i’m terrible at decisions.  to be honest, i’m not sure which picture is snarkier.  you’ve got a nice wrist, though.  wink

Posted by romy  on  05/19  at  07:38 AM

OMG. I saw the first one and was thinking, oh that’s a nice one, very handsome. Then, ready to see a similar one and BLAM! But I guess that was what you were going for…

Posted by Marcia  on  05/19  at  08:25 AM

That’s a hard decision....hmmmm...BTW, I agree with Marcia!

Posted by Theresa  on  05/19  at  08:52 AM

i am kind of perplexed as to why you had to break the top of the bottle off to do the “shot”. looks like you could cut mouth up real bad. and i don’t want any thing bad to happen to those lips!
wink

Posted by snowy  on  05/19  at  09:14 AM

the question I have is as to “frequent workplace activities”, as I don’t see you blogging in either of the photos.  This strikes me as misrepresentation - I’m sure you spend very little of your paid time out on that shuffleboard patio or callously pouring precious alcohol down your shirtfront.  They have professionals for that sort of thing. 

Posted by dan  on  05/19  at  09:32 AM

Greg knows he is forbode to post that anywhere else…

Posted by one of the girls in the hot tub photo  on  05/19  at  10:05 AM

Oh yeah. Perish the thought.  It’s utterably unutterable.

Posted by Greg  on  05/19  at  10:24 AM

Greg, you are always looking for an excuse to post a picture of yourself so you can just wait for the compliments to roll in. 

Posted by Ismat  on  05/19  at  11:22 AM

I just frightened all the birds away in a three-mile radius by laughing so hard at the second photo.

Posted by rockgrrl  on  05/19  at  12:55 PM

#2, most definitely. Ask them to use the caption: Drunken Master, Geese Aplenty.

Posted by Flipyscab  on  05/19  at  03:10 PM

Might be fun to submit these to the ‘Analogia Star Estimator’:

http://gabitus.com/eng/analogia/

It’s supposed to show you which famous people you resemble the most. I’d be particularly interested to find out if picture #2 produces any results.

Posted by torturette  on  05/19  at  03:24 PM

two words:  full frontal.

worked for ewan.

#2, for the love of GOD, #2

Posted by mary  on  05/19  at  06:14 PM

you’re cute.  will you marry me?

Posted by  on  05/19  at  11:25 PM

#2.  the alcohol reduces the glare from your forehead.*

you, greg howard, are a doll.

Posted by Amy  on  05/20  at  11:22 AM

I am so stressed out right now that not being able to load the second photo might put me over the edge.

Posted by melly  on  05/20  at  02:50 PM

Melly, it only loaded the top left quadrant of that photo for me at first. I had to save it to my desktop and then it was fine. (Well, I say “had to,” but obviously it’s the best thing to happen to my desktop in years.)

Posted by Jess  on  05/20  at  03:23 PM

I want the Greg-in-Coat picture back!

Posted by Jules  on  05/21  at  08:16 AM

or at the very least the Greg-with-Hotties-in-Hottub pic.

Posted by Jules  on  05/21  at  08:17 AM

Yeah, why not the pic of the hot tub? The farmers tan wins handsdown.
