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. 
Everyone’s prettier than me 
BTW, let’s ask Flowerchild which one she’d rather be… 
Oh, and…
interface2x – looks a bit like Data from Star Trek: TNG, but with Albert Einstein hair.
Michael Ellis – I once knew an Episcopal priest named Michael Ellis, so in my mind, you look like him.
Broken Doll – going by the screen name only, but… she’s young, wide-eyed (blue), long eyelashes, blonde hair. 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.
Sometimes I need a helmet too…

Cool! Not all that close, but cool nonetheless.
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.
Oddly, clairobscur, that’s just how I picture you! I’m far from petite! I’m 5’8" tall and have an olive complexion. 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 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. (Well, if Calvin was a girl.)
All the wierd kids in my school days ate paste, not crayons.
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.
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
that would have been me :rolleyes:
an ex-girlfriend once bought me a t shirt with “I Eat Glue” on the front to commemorate the fact.
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.
clairobscur: I am pale, for sure, but am 5’10", so am Not petite.
Dyed blonde hair, but originally brown.
I wish Libertarian would post a pic.
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!!!”
I look like a 50ish Kirk Douglas.
Alright, anyone without amazing pschyic abilities have an impression of me?
