How we imagine each other..
« on: February 19, 2006, 07:55:11 AM »
I met someone from here a couple months ago, and it seems I was not quite what my online persona suggests.

Got any mental pictures of people here and wonder how they match up.

Only one I have is that sm looks vaguely like Alan Jackson. And the person I met was about 15 years younger and thinner than I thought..mostly because I thought he was someone else. Smiley

And Art wears a hat. That I'm pretty sure of.

I know what sm looks like.  What does Alan Jackson look like?  (I guess I'm old and out of the loop.)

I can't help but see sm as Sam Elliott.  At least, that's who would play him in the movie.

Not sure re: the rest.

I've met Art.  He wasn't wearing a hat at the time.

who is Sam Elliott ...?   Wink

FYI, I'm usually wearing a hat if I'm outdoors (and sometimes indoors).  I have a beard (for almost 30 yrs in fact) and am 5-10 and skinny.

I picture Barbara as a taller, thinner version of my oldest sister.

I picture Steve as an animate lawn gnome, full of life with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. And shoes with pointy toes that curl up at the end. Smiley

C.RSam looked about what I figured he would.

I picture Art as the illegitimate love child of Dirty Harry and the Marlboro man.

I picture Justin as a palish Asian guy with glasses like the Half-Life guy. I have no idea why.

I picture Tamara as Samus from Metroid with blond hair.

I need to stop before I get in trouble. Wink

Balog, I think you've just ensured that your next few hundred threads will be banned before they start!  cheesy

As for me, think of me as Elvis in Papal clothing... Wink

Ha! I've never been accused of being the taller thinner version of anything!

Just cause I'm curious, how old do you all suppose I am. The person I mentioned earlier (Hi!) thought I was 60ish. And very tall..and I think quite a bit bulkier, but he didn't say that.

I always thought Barbara would look like Moira Brooker from "As Time Goes By."

Stick Jockey, I didn't know who she was but I just looked and probably not too far off. Strange, huh?

I tried having my wife take a picture of me once, but it lead to a $185 camera repair bill.

Barbara is 37, 5'3" and it would depend on your definition of well configured. Smiley

Edited because I apparently have no idea how old I am and was just throwing out random numbers. Anyway, I'm 37, not 38.
