> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Washte \* > \*\*I’m 31, btw. 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. \*\* Well, we’re close to the same age (I’m 32). They weren’t really a known band until they picked up Edie Brickell as the lead singer (she was in the audience at a show, if I recall the story correctly) – then they had a couple of albums as “Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians” – then faded into obscurity. Not a long-lived act, but I figured if anybody’s heard of them, it would be people who were in college about the same time I was. 🙂 ---

Head habitually lolls to one side a little. 😉 **Eats\_Crayons** – Looks like an older version of Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes). Spiky, unkempt hair. Likes to run and play. Wears kneepads because of occasional collisions with the furniture. ---

And BTW, I envision **Eve** as a taller, slightly more angular version of Dorothy Parker. ---

And **Eats\_Crayons** seems to me to resemble the protagonist inHoward and the Purple Crayon. I s’pose it’s the crayon thing. ---

I’m not sure about the eyes being clear, but I guess they are sparkling. I don’t wear glasses (yet) but I may have to some day. /off topic and personal for **clairobscur** I’m leaving France and I’m disappointed I’ve never met the one other Doper who lives in France. Ah, well, let me know if you ever do decide to visit Ireland! ---

Apparently, I come across as a [plastic raccoon](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2720480#post2720480) to **NinetyWt**. I think I _did_ form images of posters early on, but by now I’ve met so many of y’all that I often _do_ know what you look, sound and act like; and, as a result, if I don’t know I no longer conjure anything up - I’ll just fill in that part whenever we do finally meet. ---

Interesting to note that my user name seems to inspire a masculine interpretation… Did no one have a little girl in their kindergartend glass who sampled the delicacies of Crayola? [sub]In fact, I’m female and have been described as looking like either Alanis Morrissette or Minne Driver.[/sub] My girlfriend has the unkempt, grown-up Calvin look though.

For the sake of naming my SO, on the boards I refer to her as **Sniffs\_Markers**. And that paste is too starchy. Never could figure out how any kid could eat it. Though I admit too munching on stale, uncooked noodles when we did art projects with pasta and glue. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eats\_Crayons \* > **Did no one have a little girl in their kindergartend glass who sampled the delicacies of Crayola?** Yep… it was me. Stay away from the orange ones though, they look so nice and yummy, but honestly, they taste like shit. Go for green, or purple, purple is good. mmmmmm 😃 ---

by the way - copydex is nice, but stay away from superglue - you can only ever eat it once. Literally. ---

Some are close, some are way off. For what it’s worth, I think I look sort of like Daria Morgandorffer, only without bangs and my glasses are more oval. ---

**ColdFire** : Ive always invisioned him as that irish guy from Trainspotting, the one with red hair and a ponytail. **JSPrinceton** : An astrally projected Stephen Hawking. **Justhink** :The mad scientist from Independance day, except hyped up on 20 or so shots of expresso. **TubaDiva** :A gradeschool school teacher, the tall thin type with long black hair and long black dress, who paces around the room with a meter stick behind her back. **C K Dexter Haven** : A partly boomer, partly gen-X er hacker type, long black hair in a pony tail, slightly receding hairline, a little plump but not too much. Types around 100 WPM, half of which are “backspace’s”. **Uncle Beers** :Thats easy-Long John Silver. \*\* Qadgop the Mercotan\*\*:That merchant guy from the Xena and Hercules series. Thats all I can think of for now, I hope I didn’t offend anyone. Sorry about this but “Do me, do me!!!” ---
