**Crotalus** , did anyone ever tell you that Barry Bostwick’s been running around disguised as you for the last 20 years or so? 😃

This is embarrassing, I viewed the page source to work out what sort of coding to do and I copy/pasted whichever member’s picture link instead of my own… I also tried pming Marley about it but I couldn’t. Could you maybe just delete my whole post so I can put this horrible part of my life behind me?  
[/QUOTE]

No way. Six months from now, someone will start a dumb Dopers thread in MPSIMS, and you will be in like Flint. 😛

Alrighty, I have MY new Doper crush: \*\* Crotalus\*\*. Rocking the gorgeous silver hair. _swoon_

And **Crocodiles And Boulevards** , in [this shot](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/Vicekel/Me/PICT0461.jpg) especially, you look a lot like Jet Li. Very handsome!

Not a bad looking Doper in the bunch, and that’s no lie.

Hah! Thanks 😉 I can only hope I’m as in shape as Jet Li by the time I get his age. And as rich! But at least I’m taller than him. That’s something… Right?

Ah, sorry **Haze** 😃 I know how tough it is to be in the 'Mericas craving some authentic Korean goodies. Surely Chicago has some good places for it?!

When are you coming in June? I’m actually leaving for the States in June!

[QUOTE=Cervaise]

Believe it or not, I didn’t see that innuendo until just now! Wanna guess where that picture was taken? It’s a carnival right on the border with North Korea. There were amusement park rides, cotton candy, the whole works. I think it must be to make them jealous or something…

It’s neither one of those. I keep thinking it’s a football player who was also an announcer or commentator or whatever, OR possibly he became an actor, because I’m also certain he has a southern accent. (And it’s a compliment from me as well - whoever it is, he’s a good looking guy and looking like him is in no way a bad thing.)

However, in fairness I should point out that I am the one in a group who always says things like, “you know, that actor, what’s his name, it starts with an L… la, le, lo… MARTIN BALSAM!”

The wife has updated what she’s labeled her As Time Goes By folder. Rather than link to all of the photos individually, anyone who is interested can see them [here](http://aentz.multiply.com/photos/album/7) all on one page and click to enlarge.

The photos are all in chronological order now and represent our journeys to different places and passage through time. The first one, on the Big Island of Hawaii, was many years ago when we first started dating; it was our first trip together. The rest cover only the past 14 years, and the places represented here are Hawaii (the Big Island and Kauai), New Mexico, Indonesia (Java and Bali), Nepal, Singapore, Laos, Thailand (of course) and China. The list is incomplete, but I’m sure she’ll be working on it some more.

The one in Mukdahan looks like I’m punching her in the face! But really it was a windy day, and I was holding the hair back out of her face for the photo.

There’s no one I’d rather travel through time with. 🙂

Phew, it’s taken me about an hour to go through this thread but it was _totally_ worth it. I agree with the sentiments of others: the Dope is one haven for good looking people (a lot of whom underestimate their own attractiveness, it would seem).

So I’ll play too:
