Where does your name come from? NY Jets fan, the Chron Gen song, or something even more mysterious?

Caution. Newbie speaking. Dumb comments ahead…

I don’t usually try to place faces with usernames. I actually forget about 90% of the usernames I see. For some reason, though, **Esprix** stuck out in my head (I think the guy’s hilarious). At first I thought he was female… yes, even despite his 9,000 official “Ask the Gay Guy” threads. This was before I’d seen any of them, of course. I’d been picturing him as this really cute 20something girl wearing gap clothing, finished off with a dark brown ponytail. That is until I stumbled upon his other posts and realized he was a guy… a _gay_ guy. Then I all of a sudden envisioned him as Stanford from Sex and the City. Yes, I know. I’m an awful person full of awful stereotypes. In all seriousness, Esprix doesn’t even seem like he would look _anything_ like Stanford. I suppose that whole sandy brown haired beach boy thing may be more fitting, but I still can’t get that Stanford image out of my head.

As for **Flamsterette** , I know she’s Chinese and all, but I can’t stop picturing her as a roller-blading redhead. Me and my stubborn imagination.

Bless your heart. You just keep thinkin’ that, honey. I have no problem with that at all… (If you only knew!) 🙂

I sometimes discover myself in a tight blouse, though. And I often wear Yosemite-branded hats. And Yosemite National Park denim shirts—like the ones the employees wear. But the short-shorts and the whip are not a usual part of my wardrobe!

I see **Duck Duck Goose** as being a 30 or 40-something nice-looking lady, medium height, who could lose maybe 10 pounds (but she looks nice). She has sandy-colored hair.

**Monty** is dark-haired, 50-ish, and often wears those mirrored sunglasses.

**Celtic Cowboy** wears green cowboy hats.

It’s actually a reference to my [favorite comic book](http://www.geocities.com/chateaumarmont/index.html). I’m the one on the [right](http://www.gurlpages.com/rainbow666/images/tgbath.jpg).

**rastahomie** shall forever be in my mind as the character ‘Hermes’ from Futurama. Now that he’s changing his name to **HeyHomie** , I will be stuck with ‘Homie the Clown’ in my head.

😃 Aw, well, thanks for the compliments. However - who is Stanford? I don’t watch the show.

Welcome to the boards, by the way. Have you met **CrankyAsAnOldMan** yet? Sounds like you two would be a match. 😉

Yo, **Esprix**. You umm… really don’t want to look like Stanford from Sex and the City. He’s short, fat and bald and looks, acts, dresses and does everything else gayer than anyone alive. If I were you, I’d be mad at me right now for making the comparison. ☹ Try to keep in mind the _good_ things I said about ya.

And I have seen **Cranky** on the boards. His name makes me chuckle every time I see it. You’d think it would get old, but it doesn’t. 😉

Esprix looks like Hermie, the elf that wants to be a dentist from Rudolph. Other than that, the description is spot on.

Must… kill… **Weirddave** … for keeping… old joke… alive…

And, FTR, **MeanOldLady** , **CrankyAsAnOldMan** is a woman.

Whoa, **Cranky** is a woman? I’ve really got to stop using gender-specific adjectives/pronouns/etc until I learn my way around this place. :smack:

Whoa, I just saw Esprix’s picture on the Teeming Millions page. I think I have a crush.

Well, I think I look better when I smile. But that’s just me. There’s a picture of me on my [Live Journal](http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=skerri). I’m ridiculously pale, and I have blue eyes and red hair. But you were close on the smile. 😃

**Zebra** is kind of tall, with dark hair and dark eyes. He’s got a wicked grin, and he dresses moderately preppy. He’s got short hair, but sometimes it gets in his eyes. I can’t see him wearing t-shirts, but more of a button-down kind of guy. (Not necessarily oxford style, but definitely not a t-shirt guy.)

Huh. Since there are only _three_ Indiana Jones movies, I think you have some more s’plaining to do about that whip, doncha know.

Damn whipper snappers. 😉

I have seen too many pictures of a lot of the Dopers when I started The Men of the SDMB (long time ago) then it morphed into Shayna’s People Pages and helped her with that.

I remember just about everyone’s face I worked on. Wish I still had the back up, I think it’s on a ZIP disk but my latest mother board, I can’t connect it up.

RATS.
