**elfkin477** - I picture a slender half-elvish female hiding like a shadow amongst the ancient trees of the forest, dressed in mottled browns and grays, watching the party of two humans and a dwarf as they go to seek their fame and glory (and perhaps some treasure) in the caves of the Dragon Lord. What level of spellcaster are you? And red squirrels are feistier, everyone knows that. **Master Wang-ka** - I see you as a Jackie Chan type hero. Surrounded by a villains galore, you fight off their attacks bravely (why is it in these flicks, the bad guys always attack one at a time? Come ON and rush him!). Kind of odd how your image of me has changed into a Viking warriorwoman since I actually have Norse blood. Psychic much? **BellaDellaItalia** - You are Sophia Loren, dancing in a tight bodiced dress while The man of La Mancha is singing of your beauty. And I do wear black and I DO have blue eyes. Ya’ll are gettin’ spooky wit’ yer psychic minds… SCHTOP it! **lieu** - Thank you, you sweet, butt-obsessed man, you. I picture you as a R. Crumb kind of dude… all shy around the ladies but you secretly draw the girls you like with large, sturdy legs and big, round rumps riding your bod in a frenzy of butt lovin’ lust!! Naughty! I like the image of **Scuba Ben** as the bubble maker in the fish tank, that’s CUTE! Good one! ---

**Kalhoun** is either the mayor of South Park or Sigourney Weaver, the image shifts around **Diogenes** has a Maynard G. Krebbs thing going on **Bosda** is Hank Scorpio **manhattan** looks like Anthony Bourdain ---

> [@plnnr](#): > > Kalhoun is John C. Calhoun, one time Vice President and crusty old proponent of the theory of “nullification.” Sorry, but that’s what I see. Jeez…Crusty? I’ve been shooting for “supple” my whole life. Crusty… ---

I wish I could remember what the Mayor of South Park looks like, but I think I’d probably rather look like Sigourney Weaver. ---

Aw, that’s nothing. When my picture was added to the SDMB Beefcake/Cheesecake calendar, a poster said that I looked like “a naked, scary Ben Stein.” You were going for "supple and got “crusty.” I was going for “hot, sexy, alluring” and got “naked, scary, Ben Stein.” ---

I’ve never shared this with anyone before, but actually, I think Ben Stein is kinda hot, in a quirky, geeky kind of way. I’d do 'im. ---

**Blown & Injected** - Forgive me for pointing out the obvious but B & I sounds like a great Saturday night. **zoogirl** – Lowercase ‘z’. She’s actually shy but thought the handle would help her open up…at least online. **vunderbob** – For some reason (and I haven’t really read any of your posts before this) I think of a friend of mine who is known far and wide for bad jokes and even worse puns. **js\_africanus** – Someone earlier mentioned a roman senator and I’d have to agree. Just seems to fit. **plnnr** – I picture an older gentleman who has several idiosyncrasies that he won’t take the time to explain to anyone yet expects others to honour them. I think my inspiration comes from the username with no vowels 🙂 That’s all I got for now. ---

I don’t generally put in one of these “me too” posts, but I’m interested in the assembled images. It’s probably something fairly obvious, but what the heck. ---

I didn’t realize that misstee had such a, uh, _reputation_ around these parts. I’ll have to pay more attention to her posts in the future. ---
