Evolution Of My Headshots

From 2010 to 2022.

This fall semester marks my eleventh year at the South Texas College of Law Houston. One way to mark the passage of times is through photographs. Here is an evolution of my headshots from 2010 to 2022.

What can I say? I like the hair.

[Mr. Bumble]

Howard Stern wannabe?

[Frank Drackman]

Good One!
Funny that childhood photos show the KOAM with a Moe Howard Bowl Do', and Rand(y) Paul looking like Ron Howard in his Opey roll, at some point they decided the Robert Reed/Mr. Brady Perm was the way to go...
his future, I see, some cutting insults from the "Reverend" Arthur Sandusky, and you know, I might have to agree with him this time.

Frank "Lex Luthor has more hair than me"

[Brett Bellmore]

I was thinking Weird Al.

[Krychek_2]

You know, if I were invited to contribute to what purports to be a serious legal blog, the thought would never enter my head that a bunch of my head shots would be an appropriate post.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

This blog purports to be a lot of things . . . libertarian, academic, a champion of free speech, serious.

Those are curious claims from the white, male, right-wing Official Legal Blog Of Disaffected Culture War Casualties.

[Frank Drackman]

CALLED IT
"his future, I see, some cutting insults from the “Reverend” Arthur Sandusky, and you know, I might have to agree with him this time.

but Seriously, Jerry, you need some new material

[Zarniwoop]

I might even agree with Rev. AK on some substantive issues, but I second the call for some new material. The current schtick is getting pretty old.

Of course, I do sometimes tell my kids that there are cases where the essence of humor is repeating a joke until it’s not funny anymore … and continuing to repeat it until it’s funny again.

[jdgalt1]

One of the reasons Saturday Night Live stopped being funny is that certain cast members decided that can work. And it can't.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Saturday Night Live seems to be quite popular, but maybe that's just among the better educated, less gullible, more diverse, upwardly mobile, younger audience.

[Frank Drackman]

You mean the race-ist "bit" they did last weekend portraying #34 (In Jaw-Jaw we don't call him by that "other" name) as a retarded Step N' Fetch it Knee-Grow? Seems like something you'd find funny, just don't let your cell-mate Leroy Brown hear you laughing....

[Zarniwoop]

It doesn’t always work, but that’s not to say “repeat until funny again” never works.

But I gotta ask, which generation of SNL are you talking about? Their humor, funniness – however you wish to categorize it – has ebbed and flowed over the years. I originally got hooked on Eddie Murphy; showing my age a bit. And there have been years when I didn’t bother.

But if you’re simply reflexively against SNL because they’re “too liberal” for you … that’s your problem, not theirs.

[LawTalkingGuy]

Sideshow Bob and rakes is the classic example.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

" The current schtick is getting pretty old. "

I respond to the tiresome, repetitive content provided by the Volokh Conspirators and their fans.

Do you fault a football announcer for repeating the same score for a few hours if the score doesn't change?

[Frank Drackman]

Well Jerry S, I get that the last time you saw freedom Knute Rockne was running the Single Wing, but they have this thing called "Graphics" that show the score, so it's usually only mentioned after a scoring play, and as long as the games do last with Replay (I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you) Commercial Breaks, it's the pretty rare game where the score doesn't change for a few hours.

[Zarniwoop]

Meh, even sportsball announcers know how to mix it up a little to keep it fresh.

[Union of Concerned Socks]

Is this some kind of baseline readership check?

"What could I post that only my biggest fans-- or people who just read absolutely everything on their feed no matter how inane-- would click on? Hmmm...."

[Life of Brian]

What could I post that only my biggest fans– or people who just read absolutely everything on their feed no matter how inane

Don't forget the faction that can't let a single post from Josh go by without coming up with some sort of reason why he shouldn't have posted it....

[Krychek_2]

Which is not me; I generally ignore him. This post, however, was just too much. What's next, pictures of his cats?

[Mr. Bumble]

Like Jonah Goldberg and Kevin D. Williamson's dogs?

[Brett Bellmore]

Pictures of the Justices' cats, and how they tell us about the inner workings of the Court.

[David Nieporent]

some sort of reason why he shouldn’t have posted it….

Res ipsa loquitur.

[Frank Drackman]

Where I come from "Headshot" means something totally different, as in "In Zapruder Frame #313....."

[SKofNJ]

I'm sorry, but this post is ridiculous.

[Martinned]

These pictures are like those generic white douchebro characters that SNL always makes fun of. Not sure what else I'm meant to do with them.

[Frank Drackman]

Throw beer bottles at them like they did with Flounders photo in "Animal House"

[jdgalt1]

Where's the upvote button?

[Zarniwoop]

Seconded!

[Bob from Ohio]

Prof. Blackman is so good at trolling.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

And so bad at moving past a bottom-of-the-barrel employer.

[Frank Drackman]

Have to agree Jerry, I mean who tied that tie knot? Paul Pelosi after a few drinks?

[Zarniwoop]

Just stop with the right-wing "humorous justifications" for assaulting an 82 y.o. with a hammer in his home.

It's. Not. Funny. Shame on you.

[Frank Drackman]

"Justifications"?? I'm against violent crime by all Ill-legal (at Bushwood) Aliens, even Canadian drugged out Hippy Nudists. And if someone wants to have a gay prostitute over at 2am, it's a free country, just ask the almost Governor of Florida....

[Zarniwoop]

And the "gay prostitute" part is the blatant lie that justifies the alleged humor.

It's. Not. Funny. Just stop.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

Volokh Conspiracy fans can't get enough of Frank Drackman's humor, which is precisely the type of content that brings them here.

[Brett Bellmore]

I'd always assumed the wealthy and important had better security than this. OK, sure, her SS protection were off site because she was, but if I had a fraction of their ill gotten wealth, (Amazing what being able to legally do insider trading does to your bank balance!) there's no freaking way I wouldn't have enough security to have stopped that idiot.

Speaking of idiots, the notion of him being some sort of gay lover seems a bit unsupported, but no more so than Democrats' claims that the attack was perpetrated by an Ultra-MAGA Trump supporter, and prompted by Republican talk.

[bernard11]

Speaking of idiots, the notion of him being some sort of gay lover seems a bit unsupported, but no more so than Democrats’ claims that the attack was perpetrated by an Ultra-MAGA Trump supporter, and prompted by Republican talk.

No. Not comparable at all.

And "a bit unsupported?" Just a bit?

[TwelveInchPianist]

Yeah, guys, not funny.

And don't even think of posting the one about how Paul Pelosi was caught at a crime scene twice recently, and both times he was hammered. That would be uncalled for.

[Frank Drackman]

Hey-Ohhhhhhhhhhhh,
man Johnny Carson would have had a field day with this...

Carnac the Magnificent "Paul Pelosi, Ed McMahon, and Dean Martin" (opens envelope)
"Who are 3 people who regularly get hammered??"

[Zarniwoop]

I laughed a bit at that one, TBH.

Because of the pun on "hammered", rather than making blatantly false allegations that insinuate that Mr. Pelosi is to blame and that attempt to deflect from the perp's conspiracy-based reasons for assaulting am 82-y.o. grandpa.

Yep, humor is complex, you got me on that one.

[bernard11]

Don't be a scumbag, TiP.

The response on the right to the attack is pretty revolting. Don't join in.

[Drbusybody]

It's too late for you, but more people should emulate Texas teacher Dale Irby, who wore the same outfit in his school photos for 40 years.
https://www.boredpanda.com/retired-teacher-wears-same-outfit-40-years/

[Area Man]

Kudos to him for still being able to fit in that outfit over the course of 40 years. I had to toss most of my pre-covid wardrobe because I plumped up so bad. I'm only now (very slowly) starting to lose the weight.

[Zarniwoop]

So I lived in a college living group (fraternity, to some) that had Jewish origins in the 1920s. And in the 50’s and early 60’s, the annual snapshots were very sterotypical: suitcoat, white shirt, tie; a lot of plastic-rimmed glasses (think nerds&engineers). Then the late 60’s happened, and people started to look a bit more … well, individualistic.

Then one year in the 80’s, every single person looked the same. Because they were in the same pose, wearing the same jacket, the same white shirt, the same tie, and the same glasses (even the folks who didn’t need them). They literally passed the jacket and tie and glasses from person to person. It’s easily the funniest composite of the entire decade.

[Frank Drackman]

Bill Clinton looked pretty sharp in his "Cat Stevens" phase

[Dan Schiavetta]

I used to be, like Lot's wife, unable to resist looking at hideous things, but thanks to Josh my powers of self-control are improving.

[BillyG]

I hate the new hair. Grow it out more and put it in a pony tail. As is looks unkempt.

[Kleppe]

When I saw the headline I legitimately thought this was a parody post of Blackman. Then I saw it was a legitimate Blackman post. Yikes.

[bernard11]

Blackman can't be parodied.

[bersmith1998]

Does he not think before he posts? This is absurd.
