Whoops! I guess I wasn’t thinking very clear that day. Well really, I am _never_ thinking very clear. Anyway, I guess I was just thinking of the N64 games, not any others. And the game just SEEMS first to me. _shrugs_ Anyway, sorry about that minor thing :o

Nope, a careful examination in the shower this morning showed that I hadn’t been affected by DOS [Dreaded Over-night Sexchange]!!

I have a new one: **LVgeogeek**. This will take a bit of explanation.

Once upon a time there was a real railroad in the Northeast US called the Lehigh Valley, and their reporting marks were, of course, LV.

I also happen to know our Doper in question is a geologist.

Putting this all together, I see a woman in her mid to late thirties with thick glasses, dresses in striped bib overalls and matching engineer’s cap, running around with a rock hammer in her hand…

Am I close? 😉

close as the moon **vb**

Well… you got the rock hammer part right 😉

just slightly less than 30, red hair,  
contact lenses- no glasses, except the swanky RayBan sunglasses 🆒  
bib overalls are a fashion crime for short people like myself, I am more your jeans and t-shirt type of gal…  
no hat- ick- hat hair, instead a bandana 🙂  
Dont feel bad, **vunderbob** , I sometimes see you as a superhero wearing tights and a cape with leiderhosen 😃

I keep telling you there **IS** a picture of me wearing lederhosen. As soon as my sister gets off her ass and scans it for me, I’ll post it.

Sisyphus’ Stone is a large blood-red polished gemstone that has a purple aura of energy surrounding it.
