Damn I’m good! Or you’re very accomodating. Maybe I should have included a few more specific items…

Must remember to preserve this mental image for bedtime tonight.

**Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** is the female leader of a group of ailens whose ship is obiting the Earth. Those ailens are blue, and look vaguely like Brak.

\*\* Qadgop the Mercotan\*\* is either a man in his late forties who has a beard and a friendly face, or the doctor on Bosda’s ship, with blue skin and looking like Brak.

**SkipMagic** is a black basketball player who skips around a lot.

Change “water” to “your computer” and “jazz” to “the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto (about the only music I listen to anymore)”, and you’re dead on.

So… Bruce - if you tragically, accidentally, brutally cut your head of while shaving, who’s getting your username?

Rafel Van der Vaart is the Future of European Football, and Holland’s brightest star for years to come. Pride yourself in being compared to such a man… PRIDE YOURSELF!

Since no-one else gives a crawling magpie, I’ll give you my own mental image of myself:

**UselessGit** Makes me think of an intellectual giant, with all the the sophistication and wit of a random 19th century englishman combined with the sexual deviance of a French aristocrat. He is fair - he is strong - he is all that is man.

I have 2 differing views of **French Frog**. The first is a skydiver, because ‘french frog’ is a specific freefall maneuver. The second is the joke about the lesbian frogs with the punchline, _“We really do taste like chicken.”_

I don’t know for sure, but I think Vunderbob wears lederhosen and does that “slappy” dance whilst sucking down warm German beer.

Hell, I don’t care. It’s my damn hotmail username, at least 8 years old. I’d have picked something cooler if I had known . . .

**UselessGit** = Old man sitting on porch in a river gorge somewhere deep in the Appalachians. When a stray dog or chicken wanders on the porch, he halfway stands up and yells: “Useless! Git! Git on ow-da-here!”

Funny you should mention that… There is a formal portrait of me as a toddler wearing lederhosen. Unfortunately, Mom never did put beer in my sipper cups.

Libertarian: An older single gentleman. Unkempt white hair and librarian style glasses with the little cord that keeps them attached. Gabberdean jacket, corduroy pants, and penny loafers with the soles worn through. He’s a little absent minded, but always carries an age old dusty book under his arm.

I would never waste iced tea. 🙂

**Priceguy** works at a store in the mall. He runs around with a price sticker gun, changing price tags. Just when he gets about done, his boss comes in and makes some more changes. I feel bad for him.  
**torie** is a blonde young girl who hasn’t quiet figured out the way the world works yet. Or she’s a rock star who looks like one for the members of the Barbie and the Rockers.[sup]tm[/sup]  
**Chicago Faucet** an older gentleman who is a maintenance guy at a factory.  
**vunderbob** has a favorite recliner in his living room, when he comes home, he changes his shoes a la Mr. Rogers, and reads the daily paper.

**Eve** is Katherine Hepburn crossed with Dorothy Parker and cubed at least.

**Qadgop** is a tentacled alien slithering about the tranship hull (someday I’ve got to read that novel!), toolbox/doctor’s bag in tentacle, fixing something and being extremely competent while doing so.

**Rico** is a big-shouldered guy in a 1940’s zoot suit, who looks a bit like a gangster.

**Bosda** ’s wearing a super hero suit, complete with cape and shield, and a goofy grin which I get from his being “Bosda, y’all!”

Ah yes. **Deagan the Wolf** is vaguely shaggy looking, as if he were caught halfway between transforming from grey wolf to human. On second thought, make that about a quarter of the way – he’s definitely more lupine.

**SkipMagic** conjures up a twinkle in the eye and a feeling that something marvelous and amusing is about to happen.

**Blown & Injected** is standing next to a car with an engine which blew out while winning a high speed race. He’s got a big grin on his face because he won the race and he’ll rebuild the engine in time to win the next one.
