What Images Can You Surmise From Other Dopers' Screen Names?

Thanks to you I went to breakfast today humming ‘I’m off to see the lizard, the lunderful lizard of Loz’

Mindwinter just makes me think ‘Canadian’ (and then I look out the window and pray the pit isnt’ being used before I go to lunch).

Still no takers on my name?

You know how sometimes people closely resemble how they’re perceived in real life and other times they’re the exact opposite? This’d be the latter. Oh, would it ever! :smiley:

I don’t know, I think the “frisky dachsund” part might not be far off.

:smiley:

I could? Neat.

Lizard makes me think of a man in a lab coat who is transforming into a lizardman. He’ll probably wind up in the Savage Land, fighting Magneto. I read far too many comic books as a child.

Dangermom is wearing tights and a cape. She has a vacuum in one hand, a baby in the other, and is standing in front of a proudly waving American flag. She has theme music.

Pravnik is wearing a cloth cap and has a goatee and little glasses.

For some reason, I always picture js_africanus as being dressed like a Roman Senator. Don’t know why.

Thinking about it, I’m not sure I could kick your ass, misstee. I can’t help but see you slapping some young man who tried to get fresh, saying, “That’s Miss Tee to you!”

Heh, I see Master Wang-Ka as a ninja, dressed all in black, with a big sword. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a Mormon, or maybe it’s a Jehovah’s Witness (or other door-to-door god-botherer). He leaps from the roof of his house, slicing and dicing, as he takes careful mental notes in order to later retell the story to his friends on SDMB.

:slight_smile:

Ok ok ok ok, shameless plea: what about me???

Max.

Sorry, but Maxxxie totally brings to my mind the image of a large breasted porn star. Possibly with last name like “Suxxx” or something…

Wintermute reminds me of the name of the remote Alaskan town Nightmute in the movie Insomnia with Robin Williams and Al Pacino.
“Wintermute” should be the name of the next town over.

Hmmmm, well, I do like to wear pink and I do have a wand with a sequinned star on top, and I have talked to my daughter while sitting on her bed, but never all three at once. But you’re closer than the Glinda-the-Good-Witch guessers. I can’t wear that foofy dress - it makes my butt look big.

By day Jayn_Newel is the local librarian. Her light brown hair kept in a tight bun with a pencil stuck in it. The dark round fames of her glasses often slide down to perch on the end of her nose.
By night she is the super hero “Fantastic Women”. Protector of the city. Champion of the people. Defender of Freedom!
::cue booming music::

My turn?

I am a redhead-- darn it-- nearly everyone guesses me as blonde. What’s up with that?

JB also has a song by that name. E-mail me offline…

As far as our handle, there was a family run clothing store in the town named Newell’s, and I went to high school with a couple of the kids. I picture you as part of their family, simultaneously looking fashionable but also a bit school marmish.

Damn, I wish I could edit better. Amend the above by “…in the town where I grew up…”

Scuba_Ben, funny… my old GemstoneIII character always wore black leather and she had a red-jeweled spider pendant choker at one point. Very close… are you spying on me? tee hee

Midwinter, you are the first to mention Shelob! Right on!

buttonjockey308, that’s a bitchin’ (yeah, I typed "bitchin’ ") cross! Thanks!

vunderbob is the quiet, unassuming guy who makes the technical stuff work smoothly every single time.
maxxxie reminds me of a good college friend of the same name, who was a terribly over-the-top diva - when he was being good.
Ginger of the North provokes an image of a statuesque redhead in a biker jacket, leaning against a miniature Stonehenge. Oh, wait, I’ve been there.
Weirddave is the guy who interrogates you about your favourite candy bar, while blinding you with his desk lamp.
Johnny LA is the guy who would be tall,dark and handsome, but we can’t see him for the boats on his front lawn.
Northern Piper paces the battlements, puffing whitely into the air as he inflates his bagpipes for the Hogmanay.
scout1222 is a small man, gifted at travelling noiselessly through the underbrush as he tracks his quarry, ahead of the army.
misstee truly does make me think of an auburn-haired woman with a freshly mixed pitcher of iced tea, inviting you to sit a spell on her porch.
Master Wang-Ka I have always imagined as being the Tae Kwon Leep Master from the Frantics skit, Boot to the Head.
ShibbOleth is looking for the perfect kibbutz.
buttonjockey308 is of Tom-Thumb stature, with a bicycle made of buttons.

et moi?

elucidator: I see him as an aging hippie with a white pony tail, a slightly wild gleam in his eyes and probably a bag of reefer in a drawer somewhere.

Curiously, this is also how I picture Libertarian.

Polycarp I see as a 60ish nerdy type with coke bottle glasses. He looks like a local church parson in my mind.

Minty looks like Jerry Spence, complete with the fringe leather jacket.

Airman Doors I always picture in uniform although he probably seldom wears it while posting.

Shodan I always picture as an oldtime magician with a turban. It’s just what the name conjures up.

Gobear I see as being sort of like the chef on Queer Eye. I imagine a deep voice for some reason.

Does anybody have a picture of Cecil?

This the funnest and one of the funniest threads I have seen.

I think Manhatten looks like a business executive, but has a fun life.
Coldfire, first I see silver, then a mystical looking woman, kind of like Arwen from LOTR.
Guinastasia reminds me not only of Rapunzel, but also of a pretty gynecologist. Nothing sexual, though. It’s just that I see a similarity between the name and the title.

Sauron, contrary to reports, is not merely a big flaming red eye, but a dark hulking presence lounging on an iron throne, and Eru help you if his piercing gaze turns your way.

CajunMan is the backwoods swamp dude from Adam Sandler’s The Waterboy.

imthecowgodmoo, wherever he is, is an Indian icon like Ganesh, but with a cow’s head instead of an elephant’s.

DrunkenNinjaMaster is Jackie Chan.

For some reason, I think ShibbOleth looks like the Dunwitch Horror.

How 'bout me?

Doghouse, like a typical sitcom neighbor who is helpful and comidic and always in trouble (in the doghouse)

I knew no-one could do me.

If anyone ever bothered to picture me, they probably think of this… but it occured to me: Do people get that the “Purl” in my name is a reference to knitting, or do you all just think I’m a dope who can’t spell “pearl”?
