That’s okay. These days, it’s all in the mind…it’s elemental. Don’t say you’re up when you’re down.

It’s elemental.

If you get that, you win a cookie, but I strongly suspect my confections are safe.

**interface2x** , you look an awful lot like **Kid\_A**. Are you sure you aren’t his long-lost twin? Because that’d be pretty cool.

What kinds of cookies are these, just out of curiosity?

OK, I asked for sweaty, garment-tearing fighting. _taps foot_ Any time now.

Knowing your trivia tendencies, I’m going to take a stab at it and say it’s a Tears for Fears song, although I must confess that I don’t know which one.

“It’s Elemental” is the Tears for Fears song, Ogre.

Although for a minute there, it had me thinking of “It’s Educational” by Sparks.

Now about that cookie… 🙂

No cookie for you. The name of the song, as well as the name of the album it’s on, is simply Elemental. No “It’s”, ands, or buts. Too bad for you…they’re peanut butter fudge.

Well, this thread has been effectively derailed. Anybody care to post another pic to things back on track? Hell, I’ll do it myself.

Egg-walking shoes? To walk upon actual eggs? Coo-ool.

The pompadour, as you say, rocks. All that hair to mess up…mmm-mmm. 😉

Oh, that’s right…you don’t have it anymore? No matter. You’re still really cute.

If by “obnoxious” you mean “ridiculously awesome.” The pants should probably be more obnoxious, though.

So far there’s just been one other guess, so here’s mine: the robes throw me off, but the scarves say “football” (of the UK kind, that is).

Am I close? 🙂

Um, well, Jonny Greenwood’s sister, anyway. I realized after reading **Aesiron** ’s post that my comment might be taken the wrong way.

**Jenaroph** : you don’t look like a guy. Really. That’s not what I meant. Ok? :o
