Heya, Falc, my scanner is now operational, but I can’t find a good pic. I can’t find the pic of me looking like Beck… Lessee… realistically, you’re a much cuter Kathy Bates, without the psycho-aggressive tendencies embodied in… uh… that one movie with the ankle smashing. (But you know that already! 😉 ) Screen-name description? You wear a brown and orange suit, with large, faux feather wings, span about 10 ft. You also wear a mask, a la HawkMan, with a fake beak on the front. You have flowing red hair, which slightly curls at the ends. Your powers are of flight, obviously, and you’re a supreme martial artist. You have super vision, also. Well, I’m incredibly tired, so I’m going to try to go to bed now. More superhero/mundane descriptions tomorrow. –Tim ---

Homer I se you as a short man (about 45 inches on my TV), with yellow skin, chronic 5 o’clock shadow who slobbers when he sleeps. Ok couldn’t resist that. I’m sure there have been references to your physical nature that I haven’t seen but here goes. You sound about 25, and for some reason I have this surfer dude picture in my mind although you don’t live near the ocean. Medium height and thin build, with light brown hair and blue eyes. Broad shoulders, nice hands, and you take good care of your feet. (or maybe you just really like shoes) Am I close? Ok now, do me. Please. I’ll clarify that I am definitely female. ---

mojo- for some reason I see you sitting around an overturned barrel, throwing bones, but that seems more like voodoo than getting a good mojo on, so nevermind Homer- you never stood a chance: donuts and a big’ol swaying belly Green Bean- :”red/strawberry blonde… I am 29” hmmmm…getting quite the picture now, beans be damned. So here’s the challenge: do the new guy, me. ---

Rachelle - I picture you as a looking like Rachelle Welch from the movie Caveman. Wearing a bearskin, twigs in the hair, smacking smartasses in the back of the head. ---

Actually Jimmy, I picture you as someone with pierced nipples and slicked back hair, kinda like the serial killer from Silence of the Lambs where he was dancing around at the end (“would you f\*\*\* me? I’d f\*\*\* me”) ---

Sorry about that. Imagine my shock to see I’m a subject (or at least an example used) in an initial post. You said you didn’t want actual “what I look likes” in the OP, but suffice it to say, you’re not that far off. The funny thing is, that’s exactly how I pictured you. Now since I have been so honored I feel I must contribute. Satan - Heavyish, widow’s peak, always dressed in black and always smiling wryly. Struuter - Raquel Welch circa 1968. Anniz - Petite blond wrapped in furs sitting next to a fire place. Demo - Studious - Professor-like. Glasses, large stature but not fat. Forboding figure. Wolfman - Young guy with a wild streak. Friedo - Small of stature, dark, curly hair glasses (actually I’m picturing a guy I knew in college - his posts remind me of him). AudreyK - Attractively maternal. Wally - Chairman of the board dressed in sweat pants and an SDMB t-shirt. Those were wildly off the top of my head. If I think of more I’ll come back and let you know.
