It’s time to give hints. I can feel it.
Our last reader was Daniel Stern… I mean… Pelopidas!
Here’s our next reader.
Okay, here’s a hint. (Warning: my hints are bizarre, but fair.)
His mom was a pearl.

Hmmm… don’t look like Pearl Bailey’s kid. I’ll go with Uncle Al.
BTW – Anybody ever hear of the Walking Man contest with Ralph Edwards and Jack Benny? They gave out some tough hints!

The hair crease is opposite mine. He must be from California. Probably Bad Brad got a bunch 0f baby photos back from Florida. Final answer. Bad Brad.
Captain Kirk as a baby! I swear that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this cute face.
I’ll say Bad_Brad because I’d imagine he’d be a good USS Enterprise starship captain. 🤔
Pearl Aardvark, mother of geoff the aardvark.
hmmmm … pearl … Minnie Pearl? … Pearl Bodine from ‘The Beverly Hillbillys’ & ‘Pettycoat Junction’? … Pearl Harbor? …
@The Rat Fink – Nope, not me. I’ve already been guessed: I was the kid in the oil painting.
My guess is also Bad_Brad
I keep losing track: Has Thirdtwin’s photo been on yet? If not, I’m going with him. BTW, what do we win if we’re right?
Ohhhh, I know, I know! But I’m not going to tell because I already guessed.
I’m cool with hints but make them extremely difficult.
At least six degrees of separation.
Otherwise lower the prize from 100,000 iotw bucks to perhaps 79.95
@Uncle Al – Oh well, I work long days, so I don’t get to visit much… thanks
Pearl Brad. Mother of Bad.
Ted Nouget, because it rhymes with pearl. Or something.
@BFH – your hint doesn’t help.
Except I remember a reader whose mom was a model.
The name escapes me, but would she be considered a pearl?
Got nothing.
Open The Door, Beach Mom.
Those are the commenters names I found that relate to pearls, oysters (open the door), sand,and such.
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”
Matthew 7:6
My next hint is that someone got my hint.
All I can think of is Clam Chowder.
Eddie Vedder?
His mother was Janice Joplin?
his mother was an oyster?
yech.
Organgrinder
knit one, pearl two?
nah … digits are too chubby 😉
Dadof4!! Because that is my only guess and I will keep guessing it probably until he actually posts a picture!
Jethro, the son of Pearl Bodine.
Shell-ey Berman ? Nah, he passed away last year.
Aaargh!!!! You’re killing me.
I’m old and have to go to bed soon.
Next hint, please?
Person
Everyone
Already
Recognizes
Likeness
Do we have a reader with the word “Buck” in their name?
He was the father-in-law of a pretty important person in ancient history.
Buck Turgidson (sp)?
There used to be a commenter named ‘HamBone’ around here. I’m going with that.
His advice to his son-in-law lead to the concept of subsidiarity.
@All Too Much, that’s a great answer! I have no idea whether or not it’s correct, but I like the way you think.
Okay, I saw something I wasn’t suppose to see. I know who it is.
I’ll go sit over there in the corner….
Thank goodness for the edit function…
I thought this photo was too old for BB. Ok, BB it is.
All of a sudden I got a Bea under my Bonnet and figured it out thanks to others comments…
All Too Much for the win.
And Willy’s comment is very clever. He obviously knew the answer as well.
Jethro’s mom, Pearl, was played by Bea Benaderet.
BFH – Deduct the prize from what I owe you.
I protest! Is this Guess the Kid — Music Edition or something?
Who are all these people to which you refer?
“Okay, I saw something I wasn’t suppose to see. I know who it is.”
Sorry, I thought I covered that up.
I can not wait to see my clue.
I guess Jethro because BFH clarified it. So what do I win?
Jethro, you were a cute, sturdy little man.
Looked like Buddy Rich to me.
Aw Corky, you’re breaking my heart. OK. I’ll send something in soon. No beefcake from the ex’s archive available yet, but I think this itch of yours will be satisfied. lol
I think your first post that day will be different. That you won’t be guessing and you’ll just know as soon as you see it. I have faith in you! Fur won’t need to give you any hints. lol You won’t be alone.
Buddy Rich !!
You people crack me up. That is pretty accurate.
I was thinking Soupy Sales.
I’m glad that’s over, the only thing I could come up with was MIKIMOTO PEARL!
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ was on the right track. That’s when I got Jethro! But I figured I shouldn’t get another chance to guess since I already did. Even though that wasn’t one of Fur’s rules, I still felt that I should behave. After all, it’s not all about meeeeeee!
Jethro, you were a total cutie pie, especially with that bowtie!
Dadof4, do you have a picture of you with a pile of bug toys? That would be too easy!
lol
Claudia, No bug toys. She’ll know. You’ll know. You’ll be looking at my picture. I’ll be looking back at you from it. You’ll get it.
Or Maybe not! We’ll see.
Jethro
I guessed the Jetsons, so I was at least partially correct.
