> [@«Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™](#): > > **luluBahrain** - a little girl in a black burka holding a lollipop in one hand and a rainbow colored umbrella in the other. In the distance a camel spits… That’s pretty much what I had, but I’d also put her in a tutu, so the top half is the burqa, but the bottom half is ballet. Something comfortingly incongruous in that image. And their should be palm trees, isn’t Bahrain a bit of an oasis? (At least in contrast to Dhammam or Al Khobar or anyplace in “the Kingdom”) ---

Yes, there definitely are tons of palm trees in Bahrain. I also think I should be standing next to the water as it is an island. Thanks you guys. I wish I could paint now. Wouldn’t that be a cool picture? ---

What’s his name, Bork Bork? **Phlosphr** is the wise man on top of a mountian. I agree about **belladonna** (Stevie Nicks) and **Chefguy**. It’s the Muppet who’s the Swedish Chef. “Bork, bork, bork!” :::sits next to **Siege** ::: No one wants to try us, I guess. ---

Well as a newbie, giving people do preconceptions, just wondering what is pictured from my username. 😃 ---

**Master Wang-Ka** (and where has he been lately?) appears in my mind looking rather like [Hagrid](http://www.florin.it/harry/film/hagrid.jpg) of _Harry Potter_ fame. Big, kinda burly, with unkempt hair and beard. ---

Big, kinda burly, with unkempt hair and beard. Okay, this is horrible since the first thread of his I recall reading had something to do with men’s thong underwear. Now I’ve got a mental image of Hagrid in nothing but a leopard skin thong. Maybe that would work for me if I was into big, burly men, but alas, I’ve scorched my third eye blind! Who else was moaning about not being “done”? Lessee, **Midwinter** is a thoughtful guy on a park bench, sort of like Aqualung, feeding pigeons in the dull light of a winter’s afternoon. I gotta go with **«Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™** ’s assessment on **Siege**. He («Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™ himself) I picture as that kid who works at the Krusty Burger, the one whose voice cracks whenever he talks, “Do you want fries with that, sir?” **Bibliocat** is a late 50s hep cat, complete with beret and dark glasses, whose normal abode is an antiestablishment left coast bookstore. **Beltane** makes me think of a lighter circling the Washington beltway, which is a bit odd. Also, for reasons unknown to me, I get a nice jazz riff coming from the stereo of the car he’s driving. ---

Why am I not surprised to be mentioned here, not once but _twice_? I picture **Diogenes The Cynic** to be a bit like a guy living in a barrel, asking the king to kindly step out of his sunbeam. That _is_ the famous Greek cynic, right? No offense meant to DtC. ---

**Siege** - a dark and vicious horde attacking the castle walls. _“Have fun storming the castle.”_ I know your female but this is what I see. **Bibliocat** - a Chesire cat sitting up in a tree reading some large, leather-bound books with some Harry Potter style glasses on the tip of its nose. **NoClueBoy** - I don’t know why but I sometimes picture the “Where’s Waldo?” guy when I see your name. _ducks_ No throwing rocks! **OpalCat** - on a previous thread of similar content, I mentioned she reminds me of some hostess in an opium den. Very seductive. **Blonde** - reminds me of a super hero… _“Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s Super Blonde!”_. I picture a statuesque blonde woman with a cape, a mask, and waves upon waves of flowing hair. ---
