Yearbook Yourself

George Ford Yearbook Yourself

Above is the illustrious George Ford of Addanac City through the years made in a new discovery called Yearbook Yourself.

Yearbook Yourself allows you to upload a picture and take a look at yourself in a yearbook photo from the years 1950-2000.  I immediately thought of George when I saw this because he still can’t get enough of my  “Things to do with your photos before you put them on Facebook” post I did several years ago.  Now I know how he will spend his President’s Day.  Personally I think 1986 was his best years as he was getting his Kid and Play on.

But he isn’t the only one who loves the manipulated photos.  Brit at Blunt Delivery is also a big fan of my original post.  So here she is in all her splendor (I think they took the 1988 photo template from someone I know). 

And lest anyone forget, the two of them were Homecoming King and Queen in 1978.

So head over to www.yearbookyourself.com and let us know what you come up with.

    Thanks for the link, Bearman. Shame they don’t have anything earlier than 1950.

      I put your picture in but every photo looked the same Don.

        I believe they call that “timeless beauty.”

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Yes…yes you are.

    Hahaha… AWESOME! On so many levels! Are you going to yearbook your world famous avatar Bearman?

    Hmmm… is it a bad sign if the 1998 filter still applies to me today? 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Not as bad as if the 1958 filter did.

    Ain’t no way. 🙂

    I did it…. too scary to share

    It’s funny how familiar some of those George photos look. Perhaps I knew him in another life.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Perhaps you were George in another life.

      1. George Avatar

        I’ve been George for quite a few lifetimes. It’s enjoyable, but there’s no profit in it.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Maybe you should have let your wife know that a little earlier.

          1. George Avatar

            But her inability to see the big picture is what made me fall in love with her in the first place. 😀

          2. Binky Avatar

            Love is blind. Luckily.

      Yes, that was me next to you in Victoria’s Secret that day.

      I’ve got a glass of water over here for you.

    Sheez, George, are these the various character you played in Streets of San Francisco?

    1986 must have been your Flock of Seagulls phase.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I like his 1994 Debarge phase too.

      1. George Avatar

        That 1994 pic looks like my actual college graduation photo. 😀

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Did you have stock in Soul Glo??

    2. George Avatar

      Those were my head shots from when I tried out for The Village People. Dunno why I didn’t make the cut though.

    That is a fun service that my daughter showed me after I got on facebook. Police departments should use it when they want to frame someone. Have a witness look at a set of these and see if any match.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      They have to play “Through the Years” while the witness is looking at it.

  9. Jillsy Girl Avatar

    Go take a look at mine! 🙂

  10. blunt delivery Avatar

    You’re kidding me.
    and when did I ever say I liked photo manipulation? Only when it comes to barbies!

    But I must say that90’s pic looks way better than my actual one…

    sad? Probably.
    However im not claiming the homecoming one… im convinced that one is not me.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      When did you say it? Go back to the post I linked below. And I quote:

      “crap like this will take up my entire day. Thanks for showing the websites i shouldn’t go too. Might be fun to use for some of my blogs though.

      thanks for the linkage love.”

      That homecoming one was tough b/c the template had a much rounder face. But George looked so good I had to keep it.

      1. Blunt Delivery Avatar

        UGH. why you gotta have a memory like a mighty panther cat.

        i look like a Cash Store manager in that homecoming pic.

        nothing against them, but that’s the best thing i could think of.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I have a memory of a snail…but I know how to work a search feature with the best of them.

  11. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

    One of the problems with me is that I have the real pictures of me from 1955 (and a little earlier).. and I ain’t sharin’.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Did you still have the hat and sunglasses back then?

      1. George Avatar

        I wanna see Bo with a ‘fro! 😀

        1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

          You are the artist George. Go for it. I don’t think I have any pictures of me when I had a fro.

      2. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        I have worn many hats. Sunglasses have been optional. In the 60’s I had a flat top hair cut made to stand up with butch wax. In the late 70’s my hair was long and shaggy, 80’s-90’s a well trimmed hair cut. Then my hair began to turn loose and what was left turned gray.

    This kind of freaks me out. ha,ha,ha!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You know you are going to try it with your own pic…you can admit it.

    2. George Avatar

      The pix freaked ME out, and I’M in ’em!

  14. Dr. Cynicism Avatar

    This is brilliant! I just wish they had the laser background for the ’86 photos. Great find Bearman!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      haha…the laser background. How about the fake bookshelf for the 70’s

  15. At Wick's End Avatar

    I would totally hit on 1954 George! Babe, I think Bearman may have stumbled upon your few decades worth of missing pictures! Now I can see why they were missing. 😉 You may just grow that 2000 surfer dude look, since you’re now, actually living la vida loca in SoCal! Thanks for the laughs, Bearman! Oh and I think Brit looks great with her 1962, 1974, 1988 and 1992 hairdos. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear she went to high school with me, 1990 and 1992 look all too familiar! Does anyone else remember the days when we’d use an entire can of Aquanet for our big hair and big bangs?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      1954…what about 1964 when he ran across Aaron Spelling in the mall and a decade later was the inspiration for Isaac on the Love Boat?

      1. George Avatar

        Well, my nickname was Isaac during college. I was the inventor of a drink called Anti-Freeze. It was a mix of Hawaiian Blue Mad Dog 20/20 and Sunny Delight.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          It’s like Skittles…when you vomit it up you can taste the rainbow.

  16. Colleen Dick Avatar

    OMG. If you do yourself does it count as a form of self abuse?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Only if you like it.

    2. George Avatar

      No, it’s just self-pleasure, and there’s a difference. 😀

  17. Nate Fakes Avatar

    Hmm…I gotta try this. Just a question of doing a real photo, or cartoon photo

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Try them both and show me the results.

  18. Rent Textbooks Avatar

    I had a lot of fun with this a year or so ago, Man there are some Groovy picts in there.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      A year ago? Are you telling me I am behind the times. Well that is ok..most of my readers are 2 years behind so I am like breaking news to them.

  19. Jande Avatar

    Wow! just… wow! Hahah! I rarely let anyone take my picture so that site wouldn’t work for me. But I knew a bitchy woman once who had that exact 1988 hairstyle in Brit’s pics.{{shudder}}

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I must have known the girl b/c as I said, I think she went to my high school. But she wasn’t bitchy.

    2. George Avatar

      True. I can’t find a photo of you anywhere, Jande.

      If that’s your real name. Hmm….. 🙂

      1. Jande Avatar

        Hahahah! >.>

    1976 me ain’t to shabby.

    maybe i should bust that haircut when i have a kid. you know, how every woman has to chop her hair off at that time.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Still trying to figure out who the “mom cut” looks good on.

    2. George Avatar

      You’re doing better than me, BD. You’re a hottie in any era. I look like I’m either gonna take your bags to your room or rob you.

      Probably both, though.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Or be a singer…

      2. bluntdelivery Avatar

        nah, george. 1954 you is a classy act.

        1994 you just doesn’t know any better. but 2000 you, that’s a different story. you’re just a straight up D-bag.

  22. Friggin Loon Avatar

    Were people shorter in 1954?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No…George was just younger then and not fully grown.

  23. Comedy Plus Avatar

    Now this is pretty cool. I’ll go have a look.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks CP…let us know what you come up with.

  24. Jande Avatar

    What I want to know is Where is Bearman’s photos? Ok. Maybe I don’t really want to know.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      They didn’t turn out as good as Georges.

      1. Jande Avatar

        Aww.. Let’s see ’em anyway? ;`)

  25. Tony McGurk Avatar

    Ha Ha George sure looks mighty fine in those pics. I should try it as it looks like I could get some fantastic hairstyles.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Hairstyles??? YOu could get some HAIR!!

  26. Dave Hambidge Avatar

    I’ve seen the 40th anniversary image… ain’t nothing to be proud or ashamed of… life sucks the body into all sorts of contorsions!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Some contorsions aren’t bad.

  27. Corve DaCosta Avatar

    The afro will always be timeless

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well except during the bald phase of the 90’s

  28. Caz Avatar

    Gave it a try, weeell, none of them were me at all. If they had the fist-in-my-face look that would have been dead-on! 😀

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Are you saying you ain’t pretty? I’ve seen your pic…don’t hate on yourself.

  29. Jason Avatar

    In yesteryear, I was fat. I’d do this just to see what I’d look like skinny back then.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Did you wear the same clothes as these people or have the same hair??

  30. jynksie Avatar

    I’m just pointing and laughing at 1986… what up wid dat hair!?! *smirk*

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That was his Kid N Play phase.

      1. George Avatar

        I’ll have to show you some pics of my real high-top fade I had back in the day. I renowned for growing hair. 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          On your back?

          1. George Avatar

            Probably under it too. Who else do you know with internal chest hair? Huh?
