OT - Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Mates,
As per my comment in yesterday's posbang, it occurs to me, and assumedly at least some of you, that after a while its impossible not to associate somebody's avatar with what they might really look like. I mean, can you imagine guys like Brutus, Everybody Murders, MgrowOld, Putin, Hatter, Smash Lampjaw and so many others not looking like their avatars? You'd have to ask them for their ID's to verify. Some of you have your dogs as our avatar, but we all know lots of owners look like their dogs.
The question is this: Do you look anything like your avatar, and if not, how different are you?
XM
(Taking a break from watching the kids paint our garage. they're making great progress and amazingly I haven't come close to breaking a sweat....)
Absolutely I do, if you add 24 years of course.....
I used to look like the guy on the.right. Now I look like the guy on the left.
Maybe...
The beard is a great disguise.
Yep. This is definitely me. Why would I lie on the internet.
I dunno, I sort of hate mine. I wish you guys would have picked out a different one for me.
I sure as hell hope not
I second that notion.
I also sure as hell hope not
Ralph got a good lol out of me on that one
On the contrary, I wish I more resembled mine. Specifically, the flaming sword
So when you get divorced you turn in your library card, you stop being Jewish?
Or course I do.
Not anymore, but when I was in 7th grade I did.
P.S. I envy you, XM, because I can't wait until my kids are responsible enough to do things like paint the garage. But there are times when I wonder if that day isn't 30 years away.
milking, hay, feed, water, gather eggs. pretty soon its second nature to be given tasks and to accomplish them. we don't have perfect success at this and we aren't strict about it, but if you give them a good base and show them the way to go they will usually get 'er done. i also pay them for their labors, particularly when we sell the livestock. i give them cash/money and the older ones checks, too. they need to know that work in general and farming in particular pays.
I always assumed you were a black farmer/lawyer living in northern Michigan. I look exactly like my avatar.
I imagine East German Judge as an attractive blonde model-type, and StephenRKass as a lithe man...or an androgynous woman. Even though I know neither characterization is true.
My avatar is, of course, the great Kurtwood Smith in yet another guise. I don't look like him, as I am an African-American.
a picture from years back, a very pleasant and wholesome picture if there ever was one.
as for EGJ, you raise a good point in that you just know he's a he, not a she/super model.
Whoa, no offense meant at all to his wife! The picture itself is a little fuzzy.
I'm with my two buddies from PA at the UM/PSU game from a few years ago. So, yeah my avatar looks like me.
Nope! Though I guess it'd be cool to be an artillery piece!
What with me being a cross-dressing stick figure and all.
risky and lascivious lives.
here is mgrowold, presumably on his wedding day:
mGrowOld is the one on the right, right?
Your profile picture may be too sexy for sexbits.
yes. It is I.
I dress more conservatively. And do not desire to eat little people.
I am actually Lloyd Carr.
That's me
Rut Roh!
Yes, according to most attractive women
or is that a myth?
I think all Popes were supposed to be. Most probably were. My favorite story is of the Pope who was murdered when a guy found the Pope in bed with his wife...
I don't remember taking a vow of celibacy. But all the women on earth seem to have discussed it during their last big meeting, and come to an agreement...
Taco Pants...
Oh, indeed.
I've lost some weight since Oregon.
I was sculpted by the legendary H.R. Giger himself.
I'm my own grandpa. So, yes.
I guess I have a vacant expression from time to time.
Nope. I look more human-like in real life and less like a logo.
Some might say the resemblance is uncanny
You outta see me holding a can of peaches. Uncanny.
Yes, yes I do
is that real, or just to make you appear more friendly?
Hugs aren't free any more. Inflation and stagnant real wage growth
maybe try: inflation-adjusted, formerly free hugs.
or: hugs, but only for a money (would you be a louisville grad...?)
mine does, although it was 5 years and 2 states ago. I've added some good weight and wear my hair the classic side part now. also I can afford nicer undershirts
