April
4/30/2009:
As we continue this week’s impromptu “blast from the past” series of photos – the heroic Hoboken411 reader sent another picture in – of Hoboken’s Finest during 1970’s. I can’t recognize anyone myself, so can you identify who’s who?
Hoboken411 reader photo of the day – 4/30/2009

[Stay tuned for tomorrow's Readerpix entry! - Note: one reader's photo(s) will be featured each day at approximately 11am. Unless your photo is time-sensitive - it will be published in the order it was received! Additional note: Your pictures will have a better chance of being published if they're in "landscape" mode, as opposed to the taller "portrait" modes... ]

Saddam Hussein’s body doubles who lost their job and came to the U.S. to live out their previously secret dreams:
From left
first guy – secretly watched Mister Rogers and The Dudley Do-Right Show and couldn’t figure out which he liked best (Snidely Whiplash made him laugh).
second guy – always wanted to be John Wayne, you pilgrim!
third guy – as a double, humor was not allowed, so this dude secretly impersonated John Candy comedy scenes for his pet pigeon in the isolated spider hole
fourth guy (below) – favorite American TV show: “Welcome Back, Kotter”
fifth guy – some asshole that saw a camera and jumped in the shot

That pic reminds me of a guy I used to work with who was frozen in 1982…tight jeans, lether blazer and a HUGE belt buckle with a cartoon pig in uniform that said “P.I.G. – Pride, Integrity, Guts.”

I think this picture is cute . . .and it makes me wish I’d been in my 20’s or 30’s in the 70’s. Looks like a fun time.
