Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
One of my fakes in college said I was six-feet tall, 180 pounds and showed a guy with a long, stringy beard. I am about 5'7", 180 pounds and am incapable of anything more than some scruff on my face.
That thing worked FOREVER.
I think all the bouncers/gas station attendants just appreciated the gumption that it took use the thing.
The way my fake ID worked was that it was an old license/permit of mine that was legit but we had a friend "chalk" the date so my "86" looked like "80". It didn't look great but it definitely worked at times and was my real photo/stats. Mostly at sketchy places haha. Probably wouldn't pass at a nice bar.
Oh so you had one of those fancy fakes, huh? haha
I had a bunch. Only one was legitimately my picture and it got taken quicker than any other. After a while I didn't even really care about having a reliable fake. I just wanted to see what I could get away with.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

The underage children of New York State today will never know the art of chalking an ID.
My sister is 3 years older than me (ie. she turned 21 a few weeks before I turned 18) and we used to look a lot alike, so I never had a problem using her ID. Even in Vegas! A few of my friends definitely used gel pens to fix numbers on their IDs. Totally worked.

When I was 19, I had my brother's old ID, which he had lost, and someone mailed back after he'd gotten a new one. Cue a slew of questionable freshman year decisions.
When I was 14 (yeah... I was a bad kid), my friend made me a fake ID in case I got turned away from my first concert, which was an 18+ show. It wasn't even a proper ID, it was an employee ID for a fake video store we called the Popcorn Palace that we threw together in 15 minutes and laminated at Kinko's. They never asked for ID at the concert, but it did let me buy cigarettes from a few dodgy places in Chinatown... and get into a 'gentlemen's club' or two... and get drunk for the first time at an Indian cafe...
Shit. In retrospect, I was a little hoodrat from about 11-15.

I never had a fake. I didn't drink until college and at that point alcohol really wasn't that hard to come by. I was such a good little boy.
*high fivez* Never had one either. Drank some junior and senior years of high school, but it wasn't that difficult to obtain - plus I have an older sister. Then for college I went to a small school with basically no bar scene, mostly house parties, so that solved that issue nice and easily.

Ah, house parties. I haven't been to a shitty house party in years. I'm 26, but my roommate is 22 and knows a few people who still throw, so we're making tentative plans to pretend to be freshman and pay $5 to drink shit beer in a dark basement with fifty sweaty people we don't know. I'm kind of excited.

I was a little hoodrat too. Smoking cigarettes at 11, weed at 12, tripping at 15... I never snuck out though, I went out the front door and would tell my folks where I was. I was constantly grounded. I never had a fake ID, but you didn't need one here. I am so glad that my kid is nothing like I was at that age. I somehow got out of that mother's curse. I am not even sure how I did that.

All this talk about fake IDs. That's what older stepsisters are for.
I got plenty bought for me in high school but ya need the fake for bars, casinos, booze at shows..
I'm really happy I spent my entire twentieth year in a country with an 18+ drinking age.
I gotcha. 21 is a ridiculous age anyways. Pretty sure Europe starts 'em out at 14 or something. I spent a while in Spain, and their outlook on alcohol is much healthier than it is here.

I always kind of figured, based on absolutely nothing, that it was kind of an inversely proportional thing. Like, if you were a good kid, your own kid would be a nightmare and vice versa. It's another reason for me not to have a kid. I was a freakin' saint. So I figure my kid would be an actual little devil. Then again, my husband was apparently kind of a terrible kid, so maybe we'd cancel each other out. Or end up having one of each.

I don't think it always works out like that. It depends on your parenting, the kids personality and how they handle different situations. I think we got the bad shit out when he was young so now I get the easy part. All kids have difficulty it just depends when in life it hits and how they handle it.
I was very open with my kid about all the shit that I pulled when I was a kid and I think that helps now. But he did go through issues when he was young. I was a single mom (kicked his dad out while pregnant), his dad committed suicide when my son was 4 and he had horrible emotion issues because of it. It was so bad, (like calls from the school, fighting with me/authority figures and trying to physically hit me because he didn't know how to express his anger) we had to go to counseling for it until he was 8. I was honestly worried that if I didn't nip the behavior in the bud, I was going to have an out-of-control kid. I think that is probably one of the reasons he is such a good kid now. Also, we are very open and talk about everything. I make jokes with him that he is going to be like my mom and he's going to tell his kids, I was a good kid, I made straight A's and didn't do anything questionable as a teen. I push him to do stuff outside of his comfort zone too, because I don't want him to miss out on stuff.
Oh hey, I know this is the wrong thread, but talking about how awesome Sunday got me thinking about the weekend and I meant to say that the girl that I've had a crush on for a while and have had an awkward, steady flirt thing going on with came into my room Friday night and asked if she could sleep with me. So, I just wanted to say that because it contributed to this being my favorite weekend since a bonnaroo 2013

The way my fake ID worked was that it was an old license/permit of mine that was legit but we had a friend "chalk" the date so my "86" looked like "80". It didn't look great but it definitely worked at times and was my real photo/stats. Mostly at sketchy places haha. Probably wouldn't pass at a nice bar.

Edit: when I turned 21, I bought a 12 pack of magic hat and then immediately dropped it in the parking lot.
This is true. I turned 21 the day of my 15th birthday.

The first time I bought alcohol legally, was 12 days after I turned 21.
And my senior year - the beer store I usually went to (in NY State, just across the border) had an ID scanner. Wasn't the nicest of places, but moved a lot of volume and apparently was paranoid about underage CT kids buying there.
I have been wanting to go see a movie and have some drinks at the bar all day. I just looked at the movie listings and my bank balance and have decided to stay home instead.
I've been drinking since 1 today. I love not having a "real job"
I also used to throw parties at my place almost every weekend from sophomore year of HS through the rest of HS because my dad was never around. and I had a fake in college that was one of my older sorority sisters' IDs. worked most places, but the other half of places knew who she was, so I got kicked out often...
I was also in this group in college called strollers - we were like an improve/sketch comedy group on campus and were known for being big fucking alcoholics and could drink anyone under the table. when I was 20 I was going to bars with them all the time and never got IDed.
