I Saw Bj0rn on the Plane!

Well, I’ve never even seen a picture of “our” Bj0rn, but I have a very vivid mental image of what I would guess he looks like. (Don’t you?)

I was flying back home a couple of days ago, and seated behind me was a gentleman who fits, exactly, that mental picture!! (Except this guy had a little goatee, which I don’t picture Bj0rn to have.) He even sounded like I would expect Bj0rn to sound!

It was a little odd. (Yeah, I know, now you all are just going to harass me about how fixated I seem to be on Bj0rn, right? Bring it on… :D)


I will not be used!! Oh, wait, I’m an appliance. Never mind…

(sig from the endlessly creative mind of WallyM7)

Here it comes…

Goddamn, you are hopelessly fixated on Bj0rn!! :stuck_out_tongue:

That said, I don’t think that I have ever had that kind of experiance. I am surprised that you didn’t say something or try to start up a conversation. If I felt that strongly about someone, I think I would have said something.


“We’re surrounded? Good, that means we can fight them in every direction!” -Lewis B. “Chesty” Puller- Greatest Marine ever.

Boy, you know, I just couldn’t think of anything to say that wouldn’t make me look like a whacko!
(Or that wouldn’t make my SO believe I was trying to pick up tourists on the plane!)

[Olivia Newton-John] Hopelessly de-vo-ted tooo yooouuuuu… [/Olivia Newton-John]

You could have started to talk about Straight Dope with your SO, or some other subject that would have caught Bj0rns attention, if it really was him.

“Hey Baby, I was reading this Thread the other day and it was about…”

Things always look easier in hindsight.

Bj0rn may be seen here.

Are you serious, 'cause I think he’s kinda hot.

"A man can’t turn tail and run just because a little personal risk is involved. What did Shakespeare say? “Cowards die a thousand deaths, the brave man… only 500”?

That’s from the page listed in his profile. I can’t say for sure it’s really him, but I see no reason for him to be deceitful.

All I see is a blue screen. So what is this fascination with bjorn, anyway?


It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

I agree that bj0rn is pretty cute. I love those '60’s mod haircuts.

Too bad we couldn’t have a conversation, though.

He’s kind of like an idiot nephew. Fun to pick on.

May be it’s a picture of what he will look like in the future if only he could be seen. In a mirror.
Whydja send me there and give me a bjorn headache?

I had the same experience with you, Chrome Toaster! I saw you in the appliance department at Sears. I swear that it was your spitting image.

“Pixie” was a good call, Uncle B, in some long ago thread…

:smiley: That was funny, Arnold!
It is curious how you picture someone, and then you actually get a photo, and he looks NOTHING like I imagined! I’ve always thought of him as a Peter Horton look-a-like, except a bit more frenetic!

Does he look like the guy on the plane now, Chrome Toaster?
