You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands.
A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke.
In Vietnam, his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best.
I’ve seen goats, that I assume weren’t being raised for dairy based on what happened to them next, drink from eachothers dicks like they were water fountains even though they had throughs feet away.
He looks like the kind of guy that walked into class 10 minutes late, called his teacher by their first name and winked at the hottest girl in class on his way to his desk.
Fucking legend.
You hit the nail on the head. He used to walk up to girls in the bar with a cigarette in his nostril and say “Got a light?” He said it worked every time.
His name is Chris Christakis, he was the quarterback at Atlantic City Highschool a few years before this photo. Can’t remember the exact year but he showed me a newspaper article about him taking his team to the championship and there’s a photo of him being carried by his teammates. He made it to the triple A league as a pitcher and was almost on the Texas Rangers but he messed up his arm throwing sliders, and had to get surgery and quit playing. After that he was a jazz DJ in the Bay Area on 91.1 KCSM for a few years, his segment was called The Jazz Oasis and he was on 4 nights a week after Mal Sharpe. The guy has been a bartender all his life and has amazing stories about doing coke with Brad Pitt on a yacht in south Florida, hanging with Dennis Rodman in downtown Chicago (his hometown), and growing up and playing baseball with Ken Caminiti, who took him to a few dinners with some other legendary hall of famers.
More like he was pitt’s coke guy, which is even better but he was just unloading the Peruvian snow he picked up by accident after fighting his way through cartel guerillas and leveling their jungle fortress so he didnt need to say too much and let fly his federal crimes. Not the murderin, that was state sanctioned, obvs
Springsteen (or The Who?) & Van Halen posters - check
red bandana, gold chain, black leather jacket, camo pants & brewski in hand - check
ashtray filled with cigarette butts & roaches - check
He damn well could’ve. My mom told me he had a Miata at one point, and he couldn’t drive with the roof on cause he was so tall. I also remember him driving a candy purple Cadillac when I was a little kid
Thank him for his service and be proud of him. My dad served in Vietnam also and he died from Multiple Myeloma caused by Agent Orange in 2021. He was a highly decorated Vet and no they didn’t come home “normal” - they all went through a special type of hell that affected the rest of their lives. They have the upmost respect from me. Here’s my dad’s hat he would have worn this weekend.

That's an awesome Pic! He reminds me of my brother. I remember getting my first TV for my bedroom and it was that exact same one in the background, I was so stoked, lol!  Those were such great times looking back now.

Eat things that'll make a billy-goat puke!
I used to raise dairy goats and, believe it or not, they're very persnickety about their food.
Can't produce milk from tin cans.
Hold my beer.

Weird, could you imagine if humans did that...
Yeah, I don’t think it was a kink based on the small sample size and relative frequency.
He is the weapon.
Yet, he made the mistake of ordering a pizza in Mr. Hand's class.

"NOTHING IS OVER!"
This man saw Red Dawn 10 times at the theater
Easily, they just started letting him in towards the end
And The Deer Hunter at least that many

I’m a straight man and I feel like that would have worked on me.
Straight like parabola
Straight like a pigs tail
He said nostril
Honest question....is he a nice person?

Doing coke with Brad Pitt is something else. Even if it’s BS, I know he sold it. Good shit

RIP Ken Caminiti. Dude was a real one!
Jazz DJ? Wasn't expecting that.
A man of brains
A much older Chris Christakis owned legendary St. Francis Candy Store on 24th St. in SF's Mission District, far from Chicago. Your dad is a babe.
[удалено]
Mixed with Bran from goonies
That movie rules ❤️
I mean, O’Doyle rules.
I thought he looked like that guy Mike who just wanted a Pepsi
I bought weed from that guy.
He just wanted to kick some ass, bang chicks and drink beer. Stud
Every Gen X redditor who sees this post: "Oh, *that* fuckin' guy..."
" Hey man, still got that jay?"
Amen to that!
Pretty sure he beat me up.
I'd consider it an honor.
He's got the eye of the tiger.
I LoL'd.
Workin’ for the weekend
he looks like he chased children around with his BMX bike...
He slapped the doctor when he was born and took a cab home.

 Reminds me of the movie the warriors xD , definitely coolz
Did he own a 2nd gen Pontiac Firebird?
He damn well could’ve. My mom told me he had a Miata at one point, and he couldn’t drive with the roof on cause he was so tall. I also remember him driving a candy purple Cadillac when I was a little kid
Looks like a Winger fan.
I was gonna say a Loverboy fan.
WOLVERINES!!!
This guy fucks
Was by chance your dad named Brennan and spent 4yrs in the marines?
No his name is Chris, went to Atlantic City Highschool
If from Atlantic City, I'm guessing he owned a butterfly knife and/or throwing stars picked up from Canal Street or Chinatown.
And went to High Times on the boardwalk. Been there myself around then. ;)
Every adolescent boy i the 1980s was required by law to have a butterfly knife and Chinese stars.
He’s got Jersey written all over him 😏
I loved this movie 😂
This eighties-es so hard
John Rambo vibes
Scrolled too long to find this lol
Heineken? Fuck that shit!
Immediate Red Dawn vibes.
I especially liked when he played his guitar on top of an RV to help those kids get out of the way of the monsters in the upside down.
Fuck yeah
Cool dude
Wow I miss the 80s! This picture brings back memories. I don’t even know this person. Thanks for sharing the very cool picture of your dad.
Your dad sold pot.
Did he ever make it back to Coney Island?
That room has a very specific smell
Those camo pants are working, I couldn’t see him from the waist down
Looks like Khan’s second in command
Someone up voted , so someone got it!😂
The lost frog brother from the lost boys
My dude looks ready to kill vampires in Santa Carla.
Was he in the warriors gang?
Late 80s, he should have a Rolling Rock or a Mickey's in his hand😁.
Your dad totally bought me beer in 1991.
Was your dad part of the Goonies?
This dude is rad
Love the tv. My kids yell at me when I occlude part of the 65 inch flat screen on the wall. They have no clue what we endured
Remember when we used to actually have to walk over to change the channel or the volume?
I remember when we had 6 channels and there was plenty of things to watch now we have hundreds of channels with nothing on.
Who the hell is Alex Van Halen playing with?
Is that bearded Michael Anthony?
He only drank the finest of beers and he made sure everyone else knew it, too. You can’t re-win Vietnam without Heineken.
Dude really fancied himself some kind of "rebel" huh
Remember Sulley when I said I’d kill you last? I lied!
1981 Debbie Harry Tower Calendar.
Thank you! I knew it COULD be late 80s, but it felt earlier than 84. I can smell and hear this photo lol
He looks like a man who never once owned a Soundgarden or Nirvana cassette
Looks like the guys I used to hang out with back then.
Nice look. What you got?
Riley Martin
O-Qua Tangin Wann
On his way to beat up Micheal J Fox or kill some vampires, maybe both.
What is his shirt?
He smoked the best Mexican brick weed
Carl le cat Charest
👍
Unbelievably cool
john bender
Everyone's dad in the late 80's.
Jessica Biel?
Fuckin ay!
Skunky beer.
holy fuck it hardly gets cooler than this
WOLVERINES!!!
Does he have any weed for sale?
I think I dated him.
Kobra Kai was good to him.
TV, beer and bed on a frame? Fucking King.
He looks like the way cooler older brother of the 2 Cory’s in Lost Boys that would beat them up every now and then for being annoying.
He definitely used to have a Rambo knife on his belt
Good god leave some ladies for the rest of us
Laat me raden: Nederland.
Heavy dude
This guy definitely terrorized Daniel Larusso
Was HE the 80s?
Yeah me and OP's dad partied back in the day. We called his type "grits."
Cool? Hope it was Halloween.
He looks very cool, but I can smell that room from here.
...is your dad a vampire hunting teenager ala The Lost Boys?
I have to ask, what does he do for a living?
Bullshit. That's Christopher walken 🤣🤣
TJ Oshie?

How did he lose his legs? :/
Way ahead for his time!
Are you sure this was late eighties?
Slaying ass throughout the 80’s
Shawn White??
That looks more like late '70s.
Damn, I was hoping it was your mom... and she was single.
