This thread reminded me of the picture capability. I just uploaded the most confusing picture of myself to my CP that I could think of. It is the _only_ picture of me in existence where I have a beard (late '92). Thus, it will still be useless for stalkers who wish to track me. 🙂 A few Dopers I wish I could see a picture of? **Skald the Rhymer**. **tdn**. **Scuba\_Ben**. **Sam Stone**. These are all people I’ve interacted with, or whose posts I’ve read with great interest, and I have no idea what they look like. There are plenty of others I have seen pictures of, or even met in person. Dopers I’ve actually seen pictures of and still can’t shake the impression that they ought to look like someone else? **twickster**. I have no explanation for this. ---

I just tried uploading a photo to that profile thing and it shows the photo but it also says “file upload failed”. Can you see the photo in my profile? Did I do this right? It was the right file size and everything. I still want to know what Diogenes looks like. Please tell me what name he goes by on domebo so I can find his picture. ---

Well, I found the post where **Diogenes** posted some pictures, but the pictures are no longer there (post’s [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10871297&postcount=18)). Of course **stpauler** has already taken care of it. ---

Thank you for that image link. He does not look even remotely like how I pictured him. ---

I think I’ve seen pics or met most of the Dopers I was really curious about. (I was especially curious about **elucidator** and, for some reason, **Shodan** , before I met them). Off the top of my head, the only one I’d still like to put a face to is **Liberal**. ---

I had an image of you looking a lot older than you look in those pictures. How old are you? You look like you’re in your early thirties. I had a picture in my mind of a guy in his mid 50s, with graying hair or bald. I also imagined you having a bigger nose, and being very tall. I have no idea where this image came from, but that’s the image I have had this whole time. Your overall appearance looks vaguely communist. ---

I’m 43. I’m older than I look. When I was younger, it was a curse. I got carded for beer into my 30’s. When I was in my 20’s, I looked like a teenager. When I shaved my facial hair, I used to look like an 8th grader. My Company Commander in Basic Training called me “puberty,” because I looked like I was about 12 at the time. That became my nickname in the whole Company. It sucked. I used to have bouncers refuse to accept my ID because they thought it was fake. It’s not so bad now. I at least look like an adult. And only “vaguely” like a communist? I need to work on that. I better sharpen my beard and get some rounder glasses. ---

Actually, forget the vaguely, you look downright communist. You look like Lenin, but with better hair. ---

I would pay money to see **Der Trihs**. Hey, if you’re reading this, I will put 20 dollars in your paypal account if you link to a photo of you holding a sign reading “Der Trihs, SDMB, May 7 2009” (and anything else you want to put on there.) I’m serious. ---
