Hmmmm…

**Shodan** Is definetly a shogun samurai who sits in his pagoda and glares at his underlings.  
**Sanguine Spider** Is a hottie from the cover of a conan the barbarian novel, complete with metal breast-cups and spear.  
**Mangetout** is a sort of strange amorphous cloud of mange that floats about. **Eats Crayons** Is a small short-haired little girl in the bunny hat from the milk commercial.  
**AirmanDoorsUSAF** Is a metal door in a military outfit with arms and legs. He places himself in the way of things and you have to go through him.  
**Fairy chat mom** Is Glenda the good witch.  
**Shibboleth** is a creeping monster of destruction from a H.P. Lovecraft novel  
**DiogenesTheCynic** is a small terrier who wears a fez.  
**Chicago faucet** for some bizzare reason is a anthropomorphic toilet.  
**Smeghead** is a mass of entrails that talks.  
**Guinistasia** has always struck me as rapunzel.  
**Tentacle monster** Is too naughty to describe.  
**Phlosphr** is a a cloud of sulphur and other mysterious elements of alchemy.

Any takers on me?

SanguineSpider reminds me of the spider-looking boss in Metroid Fusion (sorry!). The one you fight after the reactor core goes down and the doors all stop working.

hybrid\_dogfish is a brown daschund head and upper torso with the lower torso and tail of a salmon.

I picture Ninja Chick as a hot teenage girl who wears all black for some reason.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou is a wolf with a Louisianan accent who lives in the Louisiana Bayou. Or on Monkey Island 🙂

Eats\_Crayons is a mischevious twenty-something year old woman with red hair.

dutchboy208: about 16, studious (is that a word?) , smart, white guy.

Smeghead is a 30something white male with the head of a penis instead of a normal human head. :eek:

Emekthian is the large capital city of an aincent empire

I’ll take you, Deagan: 30ish male, steady and calm personality. Not cute, but possibly handsome. Kinda proffessor-ish, so well educated. Dark hair, medium build.

As for FairyChatMom, I see a woman, short and pudgy, short and curly (fluffy?) dark or reddish hair, two kids, a girl and a boy that you love dearly. (Dont’ ask me where these came from, just first impressions based soley on names)

_casts out her own fishing line_

I imagine **FairyChatMom** as some crazy, demented pixie using her tiny feet to press keys on the keyboard and generally causing well-meaning havoc around the place.

In my mind, **lieu** bears a passing resemblence to [this guy](http://www.mediocreminds.com/03q3/misc/pcs/triumph.jpg). Maybe it’s the poop fixation.

**Dantheman** : brisk, snappy dresser, self-confidence to burn; likes fedoras and snapbrims; probably plays the sax; human version of a frisky dachshund.

**Duck Duck Goose** : once she gets the kids off to school, relaxes in a comfy dressing gown and fuzzy slippers to surf the Dope and Google obscure issues.

**xash** : small pile of animated ashes; probably of non-Earthly origin; uses telekinisis to work the keyboard.

**Lynn Bodoni** : would fit in well in the Legion of Super-Heroes; her LoS-H costume is probably a mixture of golds and ambers; super-powers include the ability to transmute nearly any type of food into chocolate.

Actually, I’m a small _long_-haired little girl wearing big bunny _slippers_… meh, close enough.

I’ve no idea why, by I kinda picture **DeaganTheWolf** as the Nicodemus from the Rats of Nimh. I know, I know, wrong animal.

**Eats\_crayons and Grey** - What do you mean glowing???

An yeah…I wear wool sox with the birks on occasion. Even with Jeans when the mood strikes…

A few more for posterity:

**Lighting Tool** - always wearing black, mysterious theater crewmember type.

**Libertarian** - slightly punchy chess café type…great conversationalist, just don’t ask about God type individual.

**Johnny L.A.** - ex-valley-yuppy-sports-guys-guy type. Throw in a smattering of fun-intelligent techy-ish personality…

**Opal** - Anyone every seen the movie Dark Crystal? She reminds me of the girl Gelfling…

Thanks **Seige**! Thats pretty close, at least the crazy part. 🙂

Phosphor and Phlosphr just naturally merge in my head. I blame the engineering degree. 🙂

There was a thread about this some time ago-- I am too lazy to search for it so here goes.

**Lurkmeister** a shy 35ish male who spends all of his free time reading every post in every forum.  
**Idle Thoughts** someone who reads threads, thinks about what to post, and never posts.  
**Ringo** gotta be a rock star. 🙂  
**Rabid\_Squirrel** drools a lot  
**roadrunner70** has really long legs, runs very fast, always gets away from the coyote.  
**green\_bladder** has to spend a lot of time in the bathroom. He should really see a doctor.  
**DaddyTimesTwo** is a young man running around trying to keep up with two kids in diapers, wondering if he will get a shower in by 4 pm. He lives for 9pm when the kiddies are in bed.  
**Tapioca Dextrin** Pudding eating champ of whatever state he is from.  
**Bruce\_Daddy** I am not sure if I can post what comes to mind when I see his screen name. So I won’t 😉  
**NoClueBoy** doesn’t have a clue, but he is looking for one. Try over here -------------------------\>  
**av8rmike** is a stunningly handsome pilot.  
**Mikie** – I want to ask him if he really likes it.  
**l love Me Vol, l** is very clever-- the name reads the same forbellward and backward.  
**belladonna** is a beautiful dancer.  
**Ruby** is a young girl who smiles a lot, her eyes shine.  
**Lobsang** used to sign karaoke in the bars, until he quit drinking.  
**look!ninjas** is a thin, brunette who wears black, and could kick my ass.  
**Casey1505** would be a lot of fun at a party.  
**Greywolf73** graduated or got married in 1973 – I am not sure which. I debate it often in my own head. Well, not really often, but when I see the user name, I do wonder about the 73.  
**donkeyoate** – very clever. 🙂  
**picunurse** is a very loving and very caring person.  
**Caugth@work** exactly what was he caught doing? Do I really want to know? Does he have a web cam?  
**Anonymous Coward** is too much of a chicken to show up at any dopefest I attend.  
**imthjckaz** name pretty much says it all, not that he/she really is, its just what I think when I see the name.  
**Tinkertoy** is someone who likes to play with very simple toys.  
**SixSwordS** is who I would want to protect me if I am going to be lost in the woods.  
**t-keela** makes me want to sing, even though I can’t sing.  
**BJMoose** - makes me chuckle. What a name. 🙂  
**raz** reminds me of my favorite drink Bacardi Raz[sup]tm[/sup], which I love.  
Wow, that got long.

**Mangetout** is the caterpillar in the Antz movie. Sorry, really sorry, but it fits. That little bug eats _everything_! At least when I thought you were Magnetout the name reminded me of high voltage motors or supercolliders or something.

**Phlosphr** is a wise man in a toga. The name for some reason brings to mind phosphorus more than phosphor. Could be red phosphorus or even a phosphate, hence no glow.

**misstee** that other thread must have left a lasting impact on me because I still see you as a redhead in a straw hat drinking sweet tea. 😃

**belladonna** looks like Stevie Nicks.

Still think **Lobsang** is actually Zoidberg, but now we also have another poster going by the name Zoidberg so it gets confusing.

**Casey1505** just has to be a DJ.

Don’t ask me why but **Lynn Bodoni** looks blonde to me.

**hybrid\_dogfish** is a sea raven. Yup, wrong fish.

**dutchboy208** : still the boy on the side of a paint can, sorry.

**Chefguy** is the chef character on that TV show. What’s his name, Bork Bork?
