You better Esprix. Or haven’t you read the registration agreement. It specificly states that you have a legal and moral responsibility to provide more pictures for the enjoyment of the board. Get on it. ---

Hella cute update: Bio-brat, Brunetter, Chris-P One Kenobi, Eve, Hamadryad, Lux Fiat. Oh, and spoke-? That’s no excuse. I included women in _my_ list. ---

Sorry, **matt** ; I am not qualified to judge male “cuteness,” as all guys are equally butt-ugly in my eyes. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Welfy \* > **Arnold Winkelreid** , are you related to Kurt Cobain? Thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment. I like Kurt Cobain. Though most people say I look like Ozzy Osbourne. ☹ But you look quite fetching in [your picture](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/welfy.html). You remind me of Parker Posey. Is that a hurricane approaching in the background of the photograph? How did you get out of it alive? ---

Thank you matt\_mcl. You are the second person to put me on their list. Hey, I saw you mention Muncie in the Soap Opera thread. Go and see my entries and see if you know what I’m talking about. Do you really know where that is and have you ever eaten at MCL? ---

**Welfy** I’m leaning against the Stanley Cup. It’s the trophy given out to the NHL Championship hockey team. Every player of the winning team (and much of the staff) gets to take it where ever they want for one day. **Drain Bead** Yup **spoke-** Thanks I don’t think I’ve ever been on a 'hella cute list before. Although I have been called a hell of a bitch. **iampunha** It’s the real thing. At least the real traveling Cup. There’s one that’s kept in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, but THIS is the one that Messier slept with, Izerman showered with, and a whole bunch of Red Wing players took to Russia (that was after I was with it though). **Shayna** Reference material and everything!!! Shawn Chambers is a friend of the family and played on the New Jersey Devils team that won the Stanley Cup in ‘95. He was nice enough to have a big ol’ party at his house, with the Cup as the guest of honor. It was eleventy million degrees that day so the picture isn’t all that flattering. It is, of course, the only photo I scanned. I also got to party with it last year when Dallas won, but it wasn’t as fun (Darien Hatcher lives down the street for Shawn) I just want to tell you that the page is super. It’s lots of fun. Thanks for all of your time and effort. **matt\_mcl** Another hella cute!! Now I’m going to get a swelled head. **Tripler** Very nice. I bet you say that to all of the girls. ---

> [@](#): > > But you look quite fetching in your picture. You remind me of Parker Posey. Why thank you! _blush_ I admit, I didn’t know who Parker Posey was so I looked her up; I’ll take that as a compliment! :^) > [@](#): > > Is that a hurricane approaching in the background of the photograph? How did you get out of it alive? Yeah, it was a hurricane, coming to take me away! Actually, I live as far west as someone could possibly live in Pennsylvania, so it would be safe to say that it was just a pretty sunset in the background. That picture was taken right after commencement, outside the school. Next year it will be ME wearing the cap and gown! Woo hoO! ---

> [@](#): > > Lexi, why are you so pissed off? What? When am I not pissed off? I’m the Original Often Imitated But Never Duplicated Angry Guy, remember? I am so pissed off about so many things all the damn time! There is so much in this world that I find infuriating. The fact that these are things that I can do nothing about only adds insult to injury. Actually, I was @ my buddy Kevin’s house, he had just gotten his webcam and we were tinkering with it. We had just gotten off of work, and I was concentrating on how to get it to work and take a pic of me. It was just a test pic, and the only one I have. But rest assured, as I just got my own webcam yesterday, that I will be posting more pics to my webpage regularly, and if I get a good one, I’ll submit it so it’ll be updated. I know I look like some kind of psycho, but I can’t help it. I just look that way, unless I smile a big shit-eatin’ grin. Hmmmm, that’s a good idea… ---

I have a question but it’s kind of self-directed: Why didn’t I know **Brachyrhynchos** was a woman? I don’t think she was doing a **TVeblen** and deliberately obscuring her gender. (Well, wouldn’t you, if you had a beard?) I had a very firmly established male mental image, which, having seen her photo, was not only wrong but WAY wrong, as she is a very attractive woman. ( **Veb** is also a nice looking woman. The beard is virtual.) I’m going to have to review a few threads to see where I went astray. Also, while I’m on the subject: **Brachy** – can you translate your username for me. Referencing my limited Greek vocabulary I come up with “Fast Nose”. I suspect that’s not right. ---

“Fast” is “tachys”, as in “tachycardia”. Brachyrhynchos means long nose, or long beak, if I’m not mistaken. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by matt\_mcl \* > \*\*“Fast” is “tachys”, as in “tachycardia”. Brachyrhynchos means long nose, or long beak, if I’m not mistaken. \*\* I looked a little further – _brachys_ actually means “short”, rather than “long”. So the whole translation would be “short beak”. My only recollection of _brachys_ was from the term “brachistochrone”, as in the brachistochrone problem, i.e., which path is the fastest for a particle sliding downhill. I thought it meant “fastest time”. I now realize it means “shortest time”. (The answer, BTW, is a catenary curve, which also turns out to be a “tautochrone”.)
