> [@Larry Mudd](#): > > Jeez, **Jerrybear** evokes an enormous dancing bear, complete with tracers. Duh. 😃 Exactly!!! I am a major fan of the Grateful Dead. The “Jerry” refers to Garcia (may the Goddess bless his soul!) and the “bear” to the multicolored “dancing bears” that are (along with the “Steal Your Face” skull and lightning bolt) the most common symbol of the band and its fans. ---

So then, I have the mental image of a Piers Anthony like Tree Nymph. FairychatMom, I see her as a a sweet faced late 20 something with brown eyes, brown curly hair, and a sweet eath mother like air. Monstro I see as a lively, small woman, full of energy attitude and good humor. Blaron, for some reason I see him as an adolescent male. More as I think of them (recovering from the ear infection from hell, having a hard time thinking clearly :D). ---

> [@Grasshopper](#): > > CanvasShoes - I picture a moose wearing tennis rackets on his feet. I’m sure you look nothing like this in real life. Hehe, well, sorta close, I am originally from Alaska, recently relocated to Texas (so would that be a longhorn then?? ), and I do like tennis, though I’m not all that spectacular at it, (plus that’d be “her” feet, I’m a girl type doper:D). ---

CanvasShoes is a softspoken black woman in her 30s. She is slightly overweight, but still very pretty. Her feet are made of fake leather tied up with plastic lanyard string. > [@](#): > > Originally Posted by emekthian > Mistee is Amy from Futurama. > Annie-Xmas is a cute 22 year old girl who has a nice smile and red hair. > gex gex makes me think of that old Neo Geo game where you fired the colored balls at the screen, and had to make them all pop before a ball touched the bottom of the screen. > > You know…that’s exactly how I pictured her!

Her feet are made of fake leather tied up with plastic lanyard string. :D, how funny!! Further off course than the moose one. I’m a blonde female, about to crash headlong into 45, NOT softspoken, not for the most part anyway, I’m usually pretty straigtforward. The canvas shoes are real, they are a pair of teal and blue plaid Ked type tennies with navy blue laces To make a long boring story short, they’re sort of a symbol of an “FU” to a horrible former supervisor who made my life rather miserable several years ago, around the time when I first got online, (for some reason, she had a problem with this pair of shoes in addition to a bunch of other really weird discriminatory type stuff she did to me), I used the “Canvas Shoes Only” username for another online community, and only the CanvasShoes part would fit. I just never got around to changing it to anything else. Oh yeah, I DO still have the teal and blue plaid canvas shoes. They look really cute with blue jeans. ---

**Broomstick** is a guy who is 32, with brown hair, a dimple on his left cheek, and a smile that melts hearts. **Jerrybear** is slitghtly chubby, and loves to drink. He frequents a small strip joint and buys Fosters[sup]TM[/sup]. **Steelerphan** is a football fanatic. He is the one who got upset and threw a beer bottle on the field after the ref made a bad call. **seaworthy** has been around for a while, has weathered lifes storms and made it through. **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** has a closet full of adult “toys”. A day with him could be a lot of fun. His neighbors would probably never suspect that, which is what makes him so interesting. ---

Broomstick- has the hair of Robin from the cartoon Which Hunter Robin on the body of the goth chick in Teen Titans dantheman- a man in his early 40s, tall, somewhat muscular, has two young girls and is a good father to them. His hair is bright orange. Jerrybear- the bear from that Snickers commercial with Jerry Sinefeld’s voice Never Have I Because I- a european male in his early 20s. Really not all that bright- same as above Wesly Clark- a loudmouth black kid, exactly like someone I know at my school ---

For some reason, I always see **Broomstick** as the animated Samantha, from the opening credits of _Bewitched_. But I think that’s influenced more by her actually being a pilot than the user name. Mebbe if I’d run across the username before reading any of your flying threads, I’d go with, oh… The water-bucket schleppers from the Sorceror’s Apprentice bit of _Fantasia_? ---
