I see fairy chat mom as a middle aged woman sitting in a wooded glade, wearing a blue dress, aluminum foil wings and deelyboppers, and holding an aluminum foil magic wand, surrounded by school kids similarly attired, all talking animatedly. Really a lot of imagery from a screen name, but there it is. And when I refer to my wife as Mrs. Evil Captor, I see the sweet little old lady from the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons walking around in a dungeon saying, “Oh, dear, let me adjust your chains.” ---

**Ginger of the North** makes me think of a black and white etching of a Scandanavian kinda woman’s face with a pug nose and pigtails floating above a Canadian village kinda scene. It’s a very strong visual image and I wonder where the heck it came from. Along the same lines, **Js\_Africanus** makes me think of an old woodprint of a scholar in robes surrounded by parchment maps and such. \*\* Annie-Xmas\*\* – I’ve got her hopelessly confused with Annie Sprinkle, and the image i see is hence not fittin’ for a family-style board. ---

I can’t believe I read the whole thing. AND, nobody said what popped instantly into my mind when I read the thread title! The one Doper who I have a very clear mental image of. \*\*Fairy Chat Mom \*\* is Wanda from Fairly Odd Parents, complete with the voice. I even hear it when I read her posts. Okay, now who knows what a dung beetle looks like? ---

Try as I may, I can’t think of a single image to represent **Dung Beetle**. Your name is just a tad too vague… Okay, maybe a member of a band that parodies the Beatles? I’m coming up empty here. ---

I always pictured \*\* Ginger of the North\*\* to be a 30-something from Edmonton, I don’t know why Edmonton comes to mind but it does… Maybe there is something in my past about females named Ginger from the ‘City of Champions’. ---

C’mon, **Alice in Wonderland.** The classic pen and ink from the Lewis Carroll stories. No way around it. [Linky-link-link.](http://www.20kweb.com/clipart/alice_in_wonderland_03.gif) ---

> [@The Great Zamboni](#): > > So, post it. This isn’t a family style board, and far worse things have been on here. yeah, but there’s a two-step link. If you’re curious, do a Google image search, turn off filtering, type in “Annie Sprinkle” and you’ll see LOTS of images of her. I like the one where she’s a Hindu goddess. But what really comes to mind is a cheesy Playboy photo when she was doing a one-woman show where she’d bring a speculum onstage and let some audience members look at her cervix, live and in person. ---

**Tentacle Monster** is that octopus sort of big boss from Monsters, Inc. **FairyChatMom** is a sweet-faced sort of middle-aged woman who makes everyone around her feel instantly comfortable, and serves them tea. **Aldeberan** is a handsome Arabic-looking sort of guy, but scornful. **EddyTeddyFreddy** is mid-thirties, tall, slim, cute, and has shortish curly brown hair. **Mangetout** shows the effects of his habits. **Lobsang** is a rather British looking lobster. **FlamsteretteX** is rather pretty, in her twenties, and writes nasty flames. (I have no idea of the truth of that - it’s what I get from the name). **furt** looks like a furt. 😃 **Eve** looks and acts like Miss Manners, with a little Dorothy Parker thrown in. As the holder of one of the most mundane names around here, do I evoke any images whatsoever? ---
