I’ve been worrying that I was taken too seriously in my response to **jay-c**. I was just reminded of _Caddy Shack_ when Judge Smails (sp?) says, “I’m no slouch myself,” and Ty says “Don’t sell yourself short. You’re a tremendous slouch.”

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Hey, it took years of vacuous flattery, cajolery and Milk Bones™ to accomplish that.

I, for one, didn’t take it seriously. However, upon re-reading what you’ve just written, I’m questioning which part of your original response was not meant to be taken seriously - the comment about how long it would take a picture of me to clean out a rodent infestation, or the “you’re lovely” part. :dubious:

No matter how many times I tell myself to not do the right thing, I still end up doing it and regretting it.

I’m going to say that they’re Robert Jordan’s “Wheel of Time” series.

Am I right?

The most recent picture I have of [me](http://www.ipa.net/~naoutar/pjs12.jpg). I have, since viewing this picture, decided the drapes in my livingroom are very drab.

_Star Wars_ novels, actually, and a couple books by Iain M. Banks (a little obscure, I guess)…

Actually, you look older than that in the pictures. I thought I remembered you saying you were jailbait in a thread once. :smack:

The door behind you just baffles me. It looks like a closet, but… It looks maybe 2 inches deep. Oh, and it looks like you’re coming out of it (which must be especially difficult if it’s two inches deep.)

[This one](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/cisco/cisco4.JPG) is old and possibly a bit scary.

[This one](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/cisco/5-24%20003.jpg) is newer and, well, possibly a bit scary :).

It’s the foyer in my house. There are stairs leading up to the room I was in from there, which is why you see nothing on the wall behind me. I guess the camera flash causes the illusion that it’s two inches deep - it’s actually more like fifteen.

(I posted this in the Unofficial SD Members Picture Pages thread. Nobody posted after that, so I’m not sure that anybody has actually read it.)

I, being somewhat out of shape and out of my mind, do here in give consent for any picture or video of me to be displayed on the internet, provided that the following conditions are met-

The photo was taken with my knowledge and consent (No ambush photographs)

The photograph could reasonably be described as having turned out well, or that I look reasonably good in it (No photos capturing that special moment when a strong wind made it look like I haven’t combed my hair in years)

Several Dopers have a photograph of me in a hooded cloak. The cloak has been arranged so that I was completely covered from head to toe, and no part of my body is visible- except for one (I think that’s clear enough). If you have a copy of this, please do not publish or distribute it. I was drunk at the time.

Which is why the lighting is all wrong. The folds of the cloak are screwed up and don’t lead the eye to the central focus of the picture. But draw it away (I really should have had somebody else drape it and use pins to hold it in the proper lines). The dpi is far too low. And the make up on the exposed skin- well, what was I thinking with that?
