I’m too lazy to come up with a different picture for his office so I just go with what I know. Also, FTR, I picture you as a german shepherd. IDK why, it’s just the first thing that popped into my head the first time I saw your name. ---

IDK why, it’s just the first thing that popped into my head the first time I saw your name. Well, I have two german shepherds, but I don’t think I resemble them. Or my doberman. I’m probably closer to my elderly, grumpy english setter. Pudgy and with fine straight hair and everything. StG ---

I’ve always thought of **StGermain** as a young French beatnik, with goatee and beret, drinking a lot of espresso in bistros. ---

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again the next time this thread rolls around, I picture **Cat Whisperer** as Laura Linney. Whenever she tells a story or something I picture Laura in it. I know **Skald the Rhymer** is black, but I imagine him as looking like Colonel Sanders. Same for **Bricker** , actually. Used to be the same for **Oakminster** , but every since someone posted a [certain video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBLTW-KLdHA), I imagine him as Adam Reposa. I imagine **Even Sven** as Sunny Flowers from Tropico. I guess I only ever imagine people as existing people (fictional or otherwise). Interesting. Everyone else either has an avatar, which I tend to start visualizing them as, or I’ve seen what they actually look like and my image has been destroyed. ---

That gal actually does have something close to my build! I’m somewhat older, and my hair, while not long, is a little longer than that. Hair color is about right too, but the picture is dark so I’m not entirely certain. ---

Hair color is about right too, but the picture is dark so I’m not entirely certain. The biggest difference, and I just couldn’t find exactly the right picture, is that the you in my head doesn’t look so…tired. I picture you as moving very deliberately, efficiently and with determined energy, kneading and pinching and placing dough balls (for example) precisely 2 inches apart with no measure but great accuracy born of much experience. 😃 ---
