I know that **CrankyAsAnOldMan** is a female, BUT; Everytime I see her post, I instantly think of an old man. This old man will always morph into a woman as soon as it hits me that Cranky is a woman… My vision of **Polycarp** is that of a man in his late thirties, who wears a long tenchcoat and a indiana jones hat. He also has a pocket watch and is clean shaven. The **Mods** always remind me of the clay version of Mills Lane. They have the power to “allow it”, and thus have shaped my vision of them… My vision of **Eve** is of an attractive woman, who knows that she’s the shit, so to speak, but allows us common folk to talk to her…For some reason I have a very similar image of Cecil…But I digress… **His4Ever** gives me the impression that she is a woman in her late 30’s, with brown hair and no make-up. In my vision she is very conservatively dressed and shy-looking in appearance. \*\*Ben \*\* and **Darwin’s Finch** both strike me as 30-40’s scientists, who have glasses and the white coat. They know positively everything about certain sciences, and however that might translates into looks-they have it. **Scotth** makes me think he looks like James Woods in one of the lawyer movies he’s starred in; Smart and alway there with the damning one line, crush your entire POV, statements about truth 😃 My vision of **Diogenes the Cynic** is that of the Roman Cesear, who helped Russel Crowe’s character in Gladiator. I don’t think Diogenes is really that old, but I think Diogenes has that sort of presence. For **OpalCat** I imagine a much much thinner/younger Anne Rice. The black hair, penetrating eyes, and so forth… ---

Fenris-The character of the same name from the cartoon Visionaries. A caucasian male with medium brown hair and eyes, wearing a yellow and brown suit of armor. Eve-Though I have neither read the book or seen the film version of Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, Eve looks like the Lady Chablis. Sam Stone-Is a gritty, trenchoated, film noir private dick. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kat \* > \*\* > > Except that **superbee** looks like Super Gnat from the _Phule’s Company_ novel series. \*\* Oh great…now I look like a gnat. BTW, my wife’s name is **Kat** , so I envision an irritable, short tempered, gun-totin’, Italian woman, wearing a muu-muu. ---

I should add that I know for a fact that **superbee** is hot and doesn’t at all resemble the bee girl. ---

**Arnold Winkelried** always looked like the Fonz to me. **matt\_mcl** looks like the guy from Dawson’s Creek, but not Dawson. I never watched the show, but he’s the guy with brown hair. **hardygrrl** always wears a ponytail and a hockey jersey. **ladyfoxfyre** and I are twins, except she tans much better than I. **Fenris** is Jason Lee. **Tars Tarkas** looks like a guy from my Star Wars Ep I pod racing video game–I think his name is Gasgano. **Duck Duck Goose** looks like my friend’s mom–close to 6’, about 30 lbs overweight but carries it well, stylish brown hair, and oval-shaped glasses. **december** looks like [this](http://www.daprints.com/details/435). (I apologize if **december** is male. If this is the case, then his sister looks like that.) ---

There ain’t no way in hell I’m saying anything except that, **superbee** if I were you, I’d put those big guns of yours to work cuz you sure aren’t being flattered. Super Gnat is a very small, good looking girl who posed in once posed in what would be an intergalactic Playboy. As a straight guy, I gotta say that you are a good lookin mofo, but when people picture you as a hot chick… dude… (still chuckling heartily here) ---

Tars Tarkas- a 10 foot tall man with green skin, four arms, protruding red eyes, and tusks jutting from his lower jaw. Arnold Winkleried-My image of him is a group of variations on the theme "Arnold Wrinklyweed’. ---

Anahita, petite, with a short, perky hairdo and kind of smoky looking eyes. And she seldom wears shoes. Men are crazy for her. But she’s kinda quiet and drives a compact car. ---

I can’t help but picture **Lib** looking like my late father in law. Of course, none of you know what he looked like so that ain’t much use to y’all. Think of a younger [Denver Pyle](http://www.dukesonline.com/images/bye.jpg) (Uncle Jesse from the Dukes of Hazzard) but with darker skin and a salt and peppered goatee instead of a full white beard. That’s what my father in law looked like (his voice sounded similar to Denver Pyle’s as well) and that’s what I think Lib looks like too, albeit better dressed. I think that if you squint a bit, **Washte** looks like a cross between [Roseanne](http://tbssuperstation.com/TBS/Images/Dynamic/i1/roseanne_158x102.jpg) and [Caroline Quentin](http://www.tvtome.com/images/people/39/5/69-1691.jpg) (who played [Dorothy](http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~master02/pictures/pictures/image239.jpg) in Men Behaving Badly). But then I am married to her so I should know. I also know that she is _really_ scary, so if I suddenly stop posting it means that she has found this thread, read what I’ve said about her and killed me. ---

**Fenris** is pictured in my mind as a taller Michael Palin. **Guinastasia** may be short, but she has curly light brown hair and is alwasy chewing gum. ---
