(Can y’all tell that I’m just now getting caught up with this thread?) [QUOTE=bubble pop electric] Nah, I just meant that since I haven’t been posting very long, I doubt anyone’s actually been wondering what I look like. [/QUOTE] No worries … I knew you probably meant it that way, I was just tired of some of the false modesty I’d been seeing. I mean, modesty is good, but there’s only so many times I can see someone write, “well, here’s me, hope I didn’t break the camera” and then the photo is stunning. Cripes. 😉 [QUOTE=Robot Arm] Something a little more recent. [/QUOTE] Muuuch better. 🙂 Now, just shave the beard entirely… oops, sorry, didn’t mean for my fantasy to intrude on your reality! [QUOTE=if6was9] I still think of you as Drexel, like the university… [/QUOTE] Me, too. Heh. [QUOTE=jakeline] Seeing as how my adorable husband, Asimovian , has seen fit to post his pics, I’ll go ahead and do the same. [/QUOTE] I had no idea until just now that you’re a girl. Which gave me the idea that maybe I’ve been mispronouncing your user name – is it actually “jake line” or more like “jacqueline?” 🙂 [QUOTE=What Exit?] An updated picture of myself and my kids. [/QUOTE] I’ll second **fetus** : congrats! [QUOTE=soulmurk] Ouch, my fragile ego [/QUOTE] You know you deserved it … tryin’ to make me scream, and not even in a good way… 😉 ---

I opened it and got everything but a picture. Big band cover of Van Halen, a buddy list or something, but just a red X for a pic… Not the most flattering shot. ---

[QUOTE=Misnomer] Jesus fucking … what the hell?? That link opened, like, 20 windows, tried to download something, and resulted in two warnings from my firewall about trojan viruses. :mad: Did that happen to anyone else (before I posted this, of course)?

But you wouldn’t want to actually _touch_ one for fear of having your face ripped off. Or maybe you’re sweet as sugar-- who knows? Heed not my words, as I lost my mind sometime ago. Might as well jump on the myspace whoring bandwagon too. I always forget that I have one. Meh. You can send me a message and be all “Hey, you’re that guy from SDMB!” and I’ll say “Yeah! And you’re that other person from SDMB!” Then the awkward silence will ensue as we struggle to find something to talk about. Yay. ---

Which gave me the idea that maybe I’ve been mispronouncing your user name – is it actually “jake line” or more like “jacqueline?” 🙂 [/QUOTE] Actually, you’re completely right. It’s pronounced Jake-Line. In person, most of my friends do call me Jake. That is one thing that I find so interesting about these threads. People you thought were guys are gals, and vice versa. Along the same lines, Asimovian and I met through a BBS and I had a “I didn’t realize you’re just a touch darker than me” moment when first I met him. [QUOTE=if6was9] Now that’s what I’m talking about! That, to me, is the very essence of sexy. I don’t mean to flirt.You’re married, and I am too more or less, just without that piece of paper thingy. I have seen tons of threads over time that ask what is sexy? What appeals to the opposite sex? What do you want in a mate? Yada yada. It’s not boobs (in girls). Not butts (men and women). Not blond or redhead or blue or pink. It’s THAT look. That shit-eating-grin. That KNOWING look. My baby (Maureen - pic withheld under penalty of death) has it in spades. So do you. That is sexy! Rowwrrrr! [/QUOTE] ::fans herself:: Whew, it is getting warm in here, or is it just me? Thank you, if6was9. You totally made my week! ---
