Official Picture Thread of the Straight Dope

[QUOTE=Dung Beetle]
And you’re from England, so you have an accent too? I hope you won’t be offended if I say that I never want to meet you in real life. 'Cause if I did, I might be doomed to following you about at a short distance making worshipful puppy dog eyes.

Same here, except I hope I do meet you in real life, and the “following at a short distance” would be more like “throw myself upon you.”

:smack: I’m sorry, I always thought you were a guy! I don’t anymore. You’re a very pretty girl, I won’t forget that again! Hehe, I always read your nick as “drexel”, like Farley Drexel Hatcher, aka Fudge from the Judy Blume books which bear his name.

Heh… thanks, and most people do interpret it that way. :slight_smile: dre2xl as a handle was invented to accomodate a six-character limit of some kind… geez… that was nine years ago. In that time, only one person AFAIK has actually correctly guessed its meaning (hint: it’s semi-phonetic).

BTW, Rinni, you’re gorgeous. Your teeth aren’t bad at all, and your “worst” pic is better than most any of our best pics. :slight_smile:

Hey, in keeping with the equestrian theme of most of the pix I’ve posted here, it occurs to me I should show you me with my champion show jumper.

Wow, that photo really captures a noble steed at his finest. :smiley:

SWMBO and I can be found at West Houston ATA .

Click the button labelled Meet The Instructors.

Not that anyone probably cares.

But isn’t my little brother cute?

No, she’s a rapper: Dr. E2 XL.

If one more clearly attractive person posts his/her photo along with a comment like “not that anyone cares” or “here’s a crappy picture of me,” I might just have to scream.

That is all.

No, an emergency tailor at a Latin-speaking big-and-tall clothing store. You have to translate the “e tu”: Doctor And You, Extra Large?

Okay, maybe not.

While looking at all these pictures of fine Doper men, I’m chanting Mr. Potato Head’s line from Toy Story II:
“I’m a married spud, I’m a married spud…”

Not that anyone cares, but here’s a crappy picture of me.

[sup]Sorry, no pic… I already posted it. I just wanted to hear Misnomer scream.[/sup]

Eh, why not.

For some reason I feel the need to point out that, although some of the photos in the “Pics” section show me smoking, I don’t actually smoke. I was just faking when a friend (who works in costume design for movies and TV) and I were having a dress-ups session. Nor do I normally wear turtle-necks and green velvet suits, although I am thinking of taking it up.

Nah, I just meant that since I haven’t been posting very long, I doubt anyone’s actually been wondering what I look like.

But this is still fun.

You are almost too adorable. Does TALL go along with the dark and handsome? Not that it’s important to a short chick like me or anything. And that impish grin! Shall I swoon now or swoon later?
