I will throw in some new usernames, and am curious if people have any perceptions of me, too:

**astro** = agent provocateur; always posts threads with intriguing titles to spark discussion - a thin guy, dark hair, goatee and glasses, wears a lot of black…

**Cal Meacham** - Trivia God

**Philosphr** - New England college professor in corduroy, tweed jacket with elbow patches - kinda Kevin Kline-y from that movie recently…

**Exapno Mapcase** - very well read, academic, cares a lot about breaking ideas down to their component parts

**gex gex** - urban kid of indeterminate ethnic origin with baggy jeans and cool old t-shirts who listens to a ton of music - actually, that’s how I think of **Marley23** , too

**BottleBlondeJeannie** - after the thread where you were wondering if you have have artistic nude photos done, it’s hard not think anything but _rrowwrrr_

**Eve** - harried, humorous, deeply thoughtful about cool early cinema. I picture a young-ish Barbra Striesand - meaning a distinctive, not classically beautiful woman who has such character and style that you can’t take your eyes off her (unless she is tripping on a sidewalk in New Jersey)

Q.E.D. - Smart guy - nerdy in a cool way…

WordMan makes me think of SanibelMan, due only to the similarities of the moniker.

Ah, I get it now. A simple but understandable conflation of a verb with an adjective.  
I originally thought of **Flamsterette\_X** as a young guy bent on flaming, until she explained the meaning of her name.

I’ve had rather limited experience with hamsters, but I know what you mean.

**SanguineSpider** makes me think of a hopeful arachnid who’s fond of bloodshed and cruel, but who also shows great calmness in the face of danger or an emergency. (yes, this combines the definitions of “sanguine,” “sangfroid,” and “sanguinary”. … so sue me :p)

Let’s see… what did you say again? Ah yes, here it is…

> [@](#):
>

Hmm… I don’t wear leather. Not for any moral / ethical reason, but it does get expensive, and requires a lot of special care.

Long, dark, curly hair? My dark brown / black hair is growing longer, and is slightly curly at the ends… though it’s more straight than curly.

Clad in leather… we covered that point already. 😉

As for motorcycles, I’ve never been on one in my life. (not even the big shiny chrome variety)  
So… I wouldn’t say you were exactly dead-on (nobody ever is in these types of threads) … but then you weren’t quite completely off, either.

Hahahaha… bent on flaming? That’s even better than the time someone else here said that they thought I got flamed a lot on message boards. Although I must say that this is the first time someone’s publicly said that they originally thought I was a guy. I’d have thought the “ **-ette** ” ending would have given it away. 😉

I bet the explanation of my username cleared up quite a few misconceptions, too. 😃  
**Satisfying Andy Licious** makes me think of… well, you probably don’t want to know. It’s THAT bad. 😉

I’m going to clarify the last line of my previous post. It’s not that I thought bad things were associated with **Satisfying Andy Licious** … of course not. Just that when i see the name, I can’t help but think of sex. 😉

Which of course could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.

I change my profile of Sanguine to a Emma Peel (The original) in tight leather with black gloves, but blond with an Eva Marie Saint/North By Northwest haircut.

For some odd reason when ever I read **astrp** , I think of astroglide[sup]tm[/sup].

Before I knew what **if6was9** was all about, I thought it meant he had a math issue.

I also thought **auntie em** was old, until I started really reading her posts.

The name **Loneraven** gives me a mental image of a teenage girl who is lonely and wears black all the time.

**plnnr** brings to mind some one who is anal about planning things, someone who always has a list, a schedule to follow.

I see **Skybum** as a sky diver , young blonde guy with no worries.

Until I met **Cajun Man** , I thought he was a back woods, from the deep south kinda guy.

**Johnny Bravo** is a cartoon character.  
So is **cartoonaverse**.  
**Max Carnage** is a character from a video game that is really violent.

**CrankyAsAnOldMan** reminds me of a little old lady who hates kids and laughter.

Since you called me out… (see sig…)

**misstee** always made me think of Miss “T” , or a girly way to spell misty (which it is…) Since she’s married I don’t want to say what else I think about her. :eek:

**Lobelia Overhill** makes me think of Bilbo’s nasty greedy cousin. Not her, just the name.

**Flamsterette** makes me think of a con woman, as in Flim-Flam.

I’m with the Nazi Dominatrix crowd on **Ilsa\_Lund**. Sorry dude!

**CrankyAsAnOldMan** (since she organized the Great SDMB Bookswap) is like the friendly librarian from your childhood.

**Johnny Bravo** is like the cartoon character on Cartoon Network, complete with the Elvis accent and huge blonde pompadour.

**Cajun Man** is like Emeril LaGasse.

Whenever I read the name **Ilsa\_Lund** , I can’t help but think of Ingrid Bergman’s character from _Casablanca_.

And obviously, **auntie em** makes me think of _The Wizard of Oz_. She’s gotta be about 60-65 years old, right? 😉

**BottleBlondeJeannie** I am positive must look just like Barbara Eden from _I Dream of Jeannie_.

**SanguineSpider** also reminds me of _Charlotte’s Web_.

Of course, all these posters are going to hate me now…

I don’t know any one here very well and I don’t think any of you know me either.

**El\_Kabong** I think of baba louie  
**Chefguy** Chef from south park  
**Ilsa\_Lund** I used to know a couple of sisters (not nuns) named Lund. I know you’re a guy, but I still think of them.  
**EddyTeddyFreddy** For some reason I think of a mother of three although I think she really has five cats.  
**Lisa-go-Blind** I always think of that-one-thing that’ll make you go blind, or grow hair on your palms.  
**misstee** just plain beautiful  
**Horseflesh** Good at tic-tac-toe, knows something about the gardener that I don’t

**Flamsterette\_X** , at least I got one thing right. Despite being redundant (preview is my friend). Though I’m not actually in the city just yet, but hopefully soon enough…

And I’ve never been on a motorcycle either.

**Nines times Nymph** , why? I rather liked **SanguineSpider**. Okay, what do I think - a little iridescent spirit who lives in a marsh.

**Cajun Man** reminds me of lobsters and Cajun cuisine.

**Skybum** lives in a satellite. 😃

Nasty? Depends who you ask!

Greedy? anyone bring cake? Are you gonna eat that?

But if it’s satisfying, who’s to complain?  
😉

Actually, you’re one of the reasons I pay closer attention to names now. I guess I must have just glommed on to the first part and thought it was “flamester.” That and the poster **lno,** who is _not_ Ino. Now if I mention someone in a post, I usually paste it into my post rather than risk misspelling it.

So let me paste in **Lobelia Overhill** and say that for no particular reason I think of a stately loblolly pine. Like the one just over that hill

**Cartoonaverse** would be someone who doesn’t like cartoons, right?
