Embarrassing Photographs of Brad on Official Documents

FIFTH IN A SERIES. COLLECT THE WHOLE SET. TRADE THEM WITH YOUR FRIENDS!



I'm pretty ambivalent about this picture. It's not bad, and it's certainly not good, but it bears enough resemblance to me to satisfy law enforcement officers and nightclub bouncers and that's pretty much all I ask of it.

This is my current driver's license and, for those of you who've been reading for a while, you'll notice a 20-pound weight gain. I remember exactly when that happened: it was about five hours after my 30th birthday. My mother always told me my body would go to seed when I turned 30. I didn't realize she meant that day.

Missouri licenses have gotten all fancy these days, with that screened color picture of the Capitol Building in the background. I assume that's some sort of anti-forgery measure but considering how much this scan looks exactly like the card in my wallet, I'm not sure how it works. I shall leave it to more intrepid petty crooks than me to figure out.
