Now the hair is a “possibly found in nature if you look _really_ hard” dark red. As for the bad-ass comment…I do play hockey after all 😃 ---

**Zev Steinhart** looks like esteemed character actor Nehemiah Persoff. **Cal Meacham** resembles used-car dealer Cal Worthington, because they’re both named Cal. In any case, he definitely wears a garish white cowboy hat. For some reason when I see **Eutychus** , Ed Wynn comes to mind. ---

Just curious (if you don’t mind my asking) – how old are you both? Edie Brickell became the lead singer of a band called “The New Bohemians” – late 80’s. She always seemed to be a flower child type. So I’m guessing she’s either before or after your time… 🙂 ---

\*\*Libertarian \*\* could lose a few pounds. He has black hair and wear glasses. He looks too stern or serious most of the time. He usually wears sweaters. **Polycarp** is around 40. He’s tall and and quite skinny. He’s losing his hair, which are light brown. He wears ovale-shaped glasses and he’s never to be seen without a tie. \*\*Vanilla \*\* is attractive petite woman with long brown hair and a pale skin. \*\*Anahita \*\* is a petite woman with a mediterranean complexion. For some reason, she has clear sparkling eyes. She too wear glasses. I’m wondering, by the way, how many people in this thread, like me, spontaneously give a face to people they don’t know (posters in this case, but also fictionnal charachters in novels). By spontaneously, I mean that the face just pop up in my head, without me thinking about it. Only if I think about it I notice I gave a face to the person/character. These face are usually the face of people I know or used to know, of actors, or even in some cases of characters from comics (that would be the case here for \*\* Diogenes the cynic \*\* who looks like a greek character from Asterix…In some rare cases, I can pinpoint what originally caused me to associate the face with the poster/character, because they share some obvious trait, but usually I can’t. For the record, Libertarian’s face originally belong to a friend of mine who used to lecture people about moral issues and loved skiing. Polycarp is a boss I had in a financial institution, an accountant who oddly enough had a master’s degree in philosophy. Vanilla is a friend I used to play role-playing games with. Anahita is the librarian of a non-profit organization. ---

Looked up the _New Bohemians_ and don’t recognise any of the song titles or albums, sorry. My cd collection is very ecclectic but still not heard of Edie Brickell. At first I thought of [Eddi Reader](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=B4221) of _Fairground Attraction_ but was obviously way wrong. ---

I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and ask for a collective ‘Do me! Do me!’ session. That sounds kind of dirty actually… but still, what do I look like? **Cosmopolitan** looks like a sophisticated urban business woman [or man] wearing a black suit with brown hair [tied up in a French Knot, if a woman…or a man if that’s your style]. **interface2x** is a kind of geeky, intelligent teenager with blonde hair and a stripy white and yellow shirt. Don’t ask me why. **Washte** is a 17th century woman with a very bad English accent “I washte ye clothes, sir!”…oh, and you have bad teeth too. **Buck The Diver** is a drunken college jock who likes to make crude jokes about chicks at parties. I’ve got more!
