You are who you think you are. You are who others see you as. And then there’s the authentic you. That pretty much applies to most of us.

I think you are tall, lanky, and that your look does not make you stand out in crowds. In private you wear a mask made out of human skin and are naked except fort a large white apron spattered with the gore of your many victims.

Well, I see you as Pam Grier, but more dangerous.

I think you think he looks like Carrot Top, but less sexy.

Barf. Is Carrot Top deformed or something? I can’t understand how he could actually look like that, without extensive makeup.

Hey thanks folks, but we must parse the question. **Liam** asked “What do you think I look like in your mind” which, when you get down to it, is a pretty existential. It’s not “what do I look like in your mind” but "what do you _think_ I look like in your mind. So I started pondering --is this what **Liam** looks like in my mind or do I only think he looks like this in my mind?

Never one for existentialism, I abandoned that train of though and decided to cheat for the answer. So **Liam** , what do you think I think you look like in my mind?

Marconi & Schmeeze, no charge for the giggle. Our OP just reminds me of one of those little dorks that just keeps trying and trying, never losing sight of his unattainable goal. Ya gotta love him! He’s so…so…“Kyle”-like!

Spoiling for a fight? How’m I spoiling for a fight? I praise your question for it’s complexity and I’m spoiling for a fight?

P.S. “Ryan-Liam smells bad in the pit” is much better than “Ryan-Liam smells bad about the head and neck”.

It appears that I have somehow hurt Mr. Liam’s feelings with my posts in this thread. How _my_ posts elicited that response (as opposed to the links to [uglypeople.com](http://uglypeople.com) and tinkerbell) I have no idea.

But let me make amends. I have thought about what I think you look like in my mind and I think you may look like a golden, glistening god with eyes that change color with your emotions. When you started this thread they were the pale blue of hope and expectation which turned quickly to dark brown pools of sadness mixed in with the fiery red of anger. Now they are as colorless as the tears I have made you shed.

You also have on sandals with white socks.
