This is what I'll look like when I'm old.

I'd like to see that. The Mike Yates persona could use a bit of an overhaul.

Not that I have any reason to believe that pic was actually of the man behind the poster, but is it wrong I found him unreasonably attractive?

Yes, that is actually a picture of me.

And I appreciate the compliment.

Huh?....

I bet I can guess what the problem was here.

This is what I'll look like when I'm 60.

Gray hair, gray mustache, pale skin, underweight, gaunt features, look like I'm dying.

This is what a lifetime of stress, anxiety, fear, and adversity can do to your appearance.

You may not live that long

You may not live that long

How come?

 

[bg23]

there's a part of me that is morbidly curious as to what mike yates sounds like in real life.

could he actually keep up this persona?

 

[Peregrinator]

Voki time, Mikey. Make the Beeg smile.

 

[VoteForMe]

How come?

bad applesauce is my guess

Voki time, Mikey. Make the Beeg smile.

What is Voki time?

Since I'm handing out unsolicited advice tonight:

The way out of Mike Yates is to just start posting one day as a Normal and never stop. A single, 180-degree shift into normalcy with no genetic memory for the previous instantiation. If anyone mocks, be appropriately confused or insulted. But never break from the new Normal voice, even once, back to this Mike.

The trick to pulling it off is for that Mike to be completely unacquainted with this Mike. It's not easy. But if it takes, it's legend.

Dude. It takes only a new name. Wanna distill lit? Give as good a read as you take. Change your name Mike, or keep up the good work. (8+2)n's due back any day. Pilot season.

You got that 'I'm fucked in the head' look down pat.

Where is your bottom lip?

I see a logical disconnect. . .

Isn't it odd you won't share your 'real' name for reasons of privacy, but you WILL share a photo of yourself? Either you are playing some sort of game, or you have no idea that the internet is forever.

Now I don't care who you are. I believe in privacy. But you have shared an uncomfortable amount of information, you might want to consider stopping.

Given my stress and anxiety levels, I reckon that I might die from a stroke/heart attack/heart failure/brain aneurism/some sort of hemorrhage when I'm in my 40's or 50s.

It will be quick, sudden, and unexpected, precisely the way I want to go.
