I worked an off-duty job directing traffic for a promotional gas offer put on by a radio station. The next morning I wake up, read the paper and see my fat head dead center.....not what I expected to see. My first time in the paper as a cop....guess it's better that it's about some silly cheap gas story than about me screwing up or something

Anybody else surprised by their pic in the paper before?

 

[slowSSer]

me? never. but recently quite a few friends have been in the paper- olympic trials for swimming is going on. my club team is kicking arse!

he!!, 2 of my good freinds set world records yesterday!

man for some reason i figured this would have something more to do with this:

I found myself on the front page of the paper when I was 10 years old.. Was reading a book at a local library and the newspaper guy was doing a little human interest story on kids at the library. Never even knew he took my picture, but the next day's paper, there I was on the front page...

Congrats on getting published!

It's always weird seeing yourself in the paper or on TV. But, it could have been worse.

Movie - "Thunder and Lightening" when I was like 5

TV - local fair when I was 10ish (Aunt was the head of the local 4H)

Newspaper - a bunch of times (sports/local town events/working at a tall ships event in Boston/ bike to work day in NJ)

Infomercial - I ended up in several scenes for some investment thing. I was working where they filmed it so they had me do a couple bit parts. I was 18 , all the other employees were under 18 and would have needed parental permission. Got $100 extra while I was on the clock anyway!!!

I'm an extra in the crowd/fight scene in Snake Eyes

I've been interviewed on the news (TV) a couple of times

Been interivewed on CBC radio for a school project (with a buddy of mine) once

Been in the paper twice I think...

ha...i wish. i was a great man-whore when i lived in socal....the red-headed freckled types were pretty rare so i got a lot of business. but down here in the southeast......they're everywhere and the supply/demand chain is all screwed up. at least i have all my teeth.

 

[chicodude]

i was on the news, and on the front page of the paper because of sports though.

 

[Serial Midget]

I made the 'front page" page of our local sports page after finishing my first 50 mile foot race - the picture was so small you could never have recognized me. :angry:

 

[.:Jeenyus:.]

Pretty recently i was at a baseball pro-camp and i got a picture of me and Dave Stewart on the front page of the sports section.

 

[T-Pirate]

I have never had my picture on anything, but I have had 4 pictures I have taken published. Thats really cool though.

 

[cali4niabiker]

:mumble: NICE. Can you smuggle some of that cheap gas out on the west coast??!??!

I was in this crazy car crash as a kid where the entire back seat of our van (which i happened to be sitting in) flew out about 20 feet into the road. I got a ton of tv coverage for that cause we were pissed at christler and wanted to let everyone know they werent safe so i was even on 20/20

then i also got a pic in the paper of me dirtjumping at a local x/c trail w/ a ds course not cause im good at all but just cause i was the only one there.

What paper was that from manimal?

The only time I got worried was when I was filmed by a news crew in the front row at the "Monsters of Rock" concert at RFK many, many years ago. It wouldn't have been such a big deal except that I was completely bleary-eye stoned and hanging over the crowd control barrier like a lunatic in weedleaf/hemp clothes after I had called in sick to work. Fortunately, the only people to call and say "Hey! I saw you on TV..." were my friends. I guess the boss was too tired from pulling my shift to stay up and watch the news.

if i ever end up on 20/20 it'll probably be for something bad.

Ever heard the Germs' song Manimal?

Good song, sorry if that's where your handle comes from, but I don't think the Germs are big with cops, man.... Just kidding!

something like this:

I came into this world
as a puzzled panther
waiting to be caged
but something stood in the way
i was never quite tamed
crossed paths of right and wrong
saw them take their toll
I saw the armies march
and like animals they crawled
(chorus)
evolution is a process
too slow to save my soul
ive got this creature on my back
it just wont let go
Ahahahahahah
if i am only an animal
then i can do no wrong
but they say something better
so ive got to hang on
