Yet ANOTHER picture thread? Trying to revive an online Portrait Gallery

[Elendil's Heir]

This is who I think of, when I think of Arno: http://www.pbase.com/csw62/arno

[vivalostwages]

p. ruber ruber looks very...professorial. That makes sense.

[Alice The Goon]

Wow- my doper crush is just as hot in real life as I knew he would be. Thanks, Arnold!

[Arnold Winkelried]

Odd to think that I have been reading some of these posters for more than 10 years, and am only now seeing what they look like!

Added new photos to the gallery: AmericanMaid, astro, BobArrgh, bup, Ceejaytee, dogbutler, Doug Bowe, ems, flickster, Headrush042, Mindfield, My Darn Snake Legs, ratatoskK, rolandgunslinger, SoulFrost, swampbear, The Tao's Revenge, Thudlow Boink, Tripler, Tupug Anachi, VunderBob

And, as always, keep on sending in those pictures!

I will probably be updating the gallery about once a week from now on, so please be patient after you send in your photo, it may take several days for it to appear.

[Dung Beetle]

Anyone else disappointed that My Darn Snake Legs’ photo only shows him from the waist up?

Maybe to you, it does. To Zoe, it upsets her notion of how the universe is constructed.

[Elendil's Heir]

Good stuff - keep 'em comin', everybody!

[MeanOldLady]

For some reason, I always read tripler's name is tippler. I half-expected to see a photo of him holding a cocktail. The knife betwixt his teeth was better, though.

[Munch]

Vunder Bob, have you lost a ton of weight? Way to go!

[ZipperJJ]

Someone with a username that comes after me alphabetically needs to submit their photo. I don't like being singled out in the "[first username] - [last username]" links

[Arnold Winkelried]

Don't like it???? There goes my plan to make a fast buck. I was going to start charging people extra for having their names appear as the first or last on an index page.
Maybe you can find someone who is tired of their board name and convince them to change it to Zyzzyx. Or else track down another user with a Z name after yours and badger them until they submit a picture.

There are some surprises in people who don't match my mental image of them, but Ellen Cherry looks exactly how I pictured her!

[Jragon]

I'd submit one but I... er... don't exactly own a camera. So yeah.

[Arnold Winkelried]

By the way, I apologize, I was going to add photos over the week-end but I ran out of time so it will happen tonight, there are a few pictures in the queue.
Jragon: don't tell me you don't know anyone with a cell phone that can take pictures or a digital camera, because I will refuse to believe it!

[Indyellen]

I sent you pictures tonight, Arnold. Let me know if you didn't get them.

[Surly Chick]

After perusing the gallery, I've decided I have many new doper crushes...

Well, I'm going to take it as a great compliment until instructed otherwise.

Why dhkendall and pseudotriton ruber ruber, of course!

Sigh, always the bride's maid...

[Elendil's Heir]

Tell me about it.

:: wipes away a single solitary tear ::

[Surly Chick]

Now, now boys, don't you fret your pretty little heads. Unintentionally Blank's, wife was prominently featured in his photo and there's no point in a girl pinning her hopes on something unattainable. And Elendil's Heir, I was going to mention you next! Honest!

[Arnold Winkelried]

1000 apologies for the delay, last week and this week-end turned out to be very busy and I didn't have a lot of free time.

Added new photos to the gallery: ElvisL1ves, Green Bean, Indyellen, Jimmy Chitwood, Slithy Tove, SpazCat, The Tooth, Vinyl Turnip, waterj2

modified: Jack Batty —added more recent photo

A prize goes to the first poster to find the newly added photo taken in Switzerland! Second prize to the first poster to find the newly added photo taken in Korea.

[Arnold Winkelried]

I don't mind not having been mentioned as Surly Chick's crush. Really, I don't. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

I didn't mention you, Arnold, because my crush on you isn't new!

[Dung Beetle]

That’s Vinyl Turnip? I have long wondered. But I can’t believe he’s so young!

[Vinyl Turnip]

Thanks, but he's 38 in that photo. (40 now.) Is that still considered young?

I do drink the blood of innocents, but only because I like the taste...

Thank you! You are so kind. Why do you call yourself Surly again? You seem quite the opposite.

I, for one, am disappointed. It's human.

[Vinyl Turnip]

Yeah, Darth Vader was lame when they cracked his mask too. It's a thing.

The Tooth! Did I win?

ElvisL1ves third pic is in Korea.

[Arnold Winkelried]

needscoffee, Shibboleth, you both win a prize. The prize is that I will not draw a moustache and an eyepatch on your photos!

[Bacon Salt]

Mine doesn't have a moustache and eyepatch yet.

It would be a big improvement in at least one case, and I don't mean Shibboleth.

Hasn't any other female here yet noticed that Vunderbob is a FIREMAN?

I don't know which is funnier; that I look like you think I look — or wondering what people who don't know what I look like THINK I might look like!

Seriously — I've had a pic on my profile here on the boards for some time; maybe you peeked at it at some point?

[Arnold Winkelried]

I think your picture is wonderfully creepy enough without the eyepatch!

Not that I recall, no. I rarely check other posters' profiles.

What can I say? The pure form of Ellen Cherry was apparent to me, like shadows seen from a cave.

[Missy2U]

Arnold, got your email and sent you one.

ETA - feel free to crop it or do whatever to it if it isn't workable.

[Gary "Wombat" Robson]

You know, if you're going to have the Dopername "Surly Chick," you shouldn't have such a big smile in the picture!

As to that question earlier about which picture doesn't look like the Dopername, I nominate MeanOldLady and BigBertha.

And that's exactly what I thought pseudotriton ruber ruber looked like.

Missy2U, got your photo and wrote you back asking for a bigger version of it - the one attached in the e-mail was tiny.

[Really Not All That Bright]

*bump*

[Arnold Winkelried]

I was just about to post in here - so sorry for the delay, the last update was more than a week ago! I was going to add more photos this week but I had two evening meetings for some other non-profit work I'm doing plus new things to learn at the office, but there will definitely be an update with more photos tonight (unless God strikes me dead during the day) and things should pick up in February.

Anyway I know you don't want to hear excuses, what you want is more photos and there will be new ones before midnight (California time) tonight.

[Arnold Winkelried]

Added new photos to the gallery: Autolycus, CircleofWillis, Dogzilla, garygnu, kayT, Missy2U, Rafe Hollister

modified: Sampiro—added new main photo

Please keep the pictures coming!

[Arnold Winkelried]

Added new photos to the gallery: arachnologus, buttonjockey308, ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies, Daithi Lacha, Kaio, malkavia, norinew, rbroome

changes: DooWahDiddy—added photo, Jeep's Phoenix—added new main photo

Those of you who have promised to send pictures but never delivered - get cracking!

[Arnold Winkelried]

And another prize goes to the first poster to find the photo of someone in the gallery dressed like a robot!

[Arnold Winkelried]

Shoot! Because of a mistake I made one poster's picture didn't appear. It should be there by next week-end. I e-mailed that poster with the bad news. If anyone else has submitted a picture but doesn't see it in the gallery, please contact me and I will fix it.
