We all do it. Imagine what people look like who we can't see. Some people have posted photos of themselves, but I was wondering if we could say what we think each other look like and see how that compares with their real appearance! What do ya think of that?

Hmm...my guess is...

I think Observer has gross hair, a big bulbous nose, beady little eyes, yellow teeth, oily skin, and big pimples. :-)

Actually, Padawan, most regular posters have put up their description one place or another.

Most of the original LICC cast has but that was deleted.

Okay, to start things off. I imagine Paddy is about 5'5", brown hair and green eyes, and a little wiry.

OK, JD, some of that stuff came from pestichat and I don't know where the rest is from. the height and hair are correct, I am quite thin I guess but not "wiry" and my eyes are not green.

It's a guess, Paddy. I don't always remember everything I heard on Pestichat, even on "recollection." It's just how I picture you. What do ya think I look like?

Come in to pestichat!!!

People keep telling me I look like the actor Ray Liotta. I don't see it myself, but I've heard this from countless different people.

I know how you feel, Todd. Sorry, but I'm not going to reveal the person that resembles me (OK, since he's older than me, I guess I resemble him) because I'm kind of tired of it. Besides, I have way more hair than he does.

Since the idea was suggested to guess our appearances, what do y'all think I look like?

Colin Mochrie!

Craig has dark, oily hair. He is very pale. He wears a size 19 waist blue polyester pants and a 14 inch neck dress shirt all the time. He is 6'1" and 150 pounds. He wears black framed glasses. When he is drinking milk there is a danger he will laugh and spray it out his nose.

OK, how close was I?

(Craig, this is , put down that gun, ok?)

What is it with you and guns, anyway? (Everyone else, it's from another board.)
Actually, that description sounds more like you, except for the height.
By the way... "size 19"? Female garments are measured in that way, and one brand's size 19 is another brand's size 16, which means female garments are screwy. Give me male garment measurements (waist x leg length) any day. Another BTW, 6'1", 150 pounds and size 19? That's one big gut!

Colin Mochrie from Who's Line...? Must be all the hair I mentioned.

Oops! I meant a 19 inch waist but sort of screwed up a little. (I wanted a bean pole not "Pregnant Man" -- able to have cravings and mood swings!!)

Oh guns are fun! Ever have them in Rice Crispies? They go snap, crackle, pop, bang!

Craig: Sorry, but I'm not going to reveal the person that resembles me ...

Methinks it's time we had a new petition!

Hey, Sven, nice to hear from you! Hope all's well. Maybe if I'm extra nice, he'll leave me alone. Of course, I do hope all's well, too.

By the way, I was kidding turning Berry's description of me back at him. However, I was serious about the screwiness of female garment sizes.

A lot of people here I imagine as looking like people I have met with the same first name. For instance, if I see the name "Keith Alan Morgan" I picture my old manager at Pizza Hut, since his name was Keith. Same thing for Todd Pence and Brian Fitzgerald; I knew two delivery drivers there named Todd and Brian so I associate their faces with the names here.

If anyone wants to know what I look like check out http://www.myspace.com/tomkun83

Well I hope the Keith you knew was handsome, sauve and debonair. (Not that I am, but I'd like people to think of me that way. ;-)

I don't think of people like people I know, but their personalities do tend to form images in my mind.

Emily on the Doctor Who boards has a personality like my grandmother & other elderly female relatives so I imagined her as a little old lady. Bit of a shock to find out she was younger than me.

If the Brian that you knew was a tall skinny sci-fi geek with brown hair than you have it right.

Tom, does this mean you picture me as an overalls-wearing midget plumber with a thick black mustache?

Yes

No, Luigi, you're an overalls-wearing tallish plumber with a thick black mustache.

I had a classmate in the fifth grade named John Lang, so I always picture our own John A. Lang as him - and just as he was in fifth grade.

And Tom, if you want to get the image of me as a pizza delivery man out of your head, you can see some pictures of the real me at my dad's page -
http://www.pipeline.com/~richardpence/family.htm
just scroll down and there's a few photos that I'm in. Of course, if it pleases you to keep picturing me as that delivery guy, that's okay with me too.

RE: TODD PENCE: What makes you compare your John Lang with me? I'm 42 and beyond the 5th grade of school. I am financially independent, own a condo and worked at the same place for 24 years.

Only the image that pops into my head when I see your name, John, since I don't know what you look like. Of course I realize you are an adult in real life.

can you guess my looks, based on my posts (no joking please)

In someways I am curious to know how you picture myself. and how that compares with the realself.

And you forgot that luigi's coveralls are Green....

Grrrrrr........

R: ,I have no idea what you look like, based on your posts. I thought Luigi was Nove R!


John A Lang, You love Marina Sirtis too much. All together now: Hands off She's Mine!

at the grocery store where I worked, we had Brian the Manager, Brian the checker ,Brian the bagger and Brain the back room guy.When the phone rang, I picked it up and the person asked Is Brian there? So I asked.. they hung up.

oops, Brian the checker

for Tom V, Im in MOnterey Ca right now ! near where they keep the whales

Well as to what I look like. It depends on how much alchohol you've had. (OR how close it is to closing time..Country music song reference)

Sorry Luigi couldnt resist.

Um you thouhgt Luigi and myself where the same person I'm not sure to be insulted or complimented....I think I'll go with complimented ;-)

For real about my appearance I'm pretty average. Brown hair worn kinda longish anymore, moustache glasses, caucasion, male, slightly chubby. Clothing is what makes the man and you'll probably remember me

Thanks. That makes up for the coveralls thing.

R: For real about my appearance I'm pretty average. Brown hair worn kinda longish anymore, moustache glasses, caucasion, male, slightly chubby.
Luigi Novi: Wow! Maybe we are the same perosn! (Except for the glasses and mustache. And the "slightly" thing.)

No problem.

So that explains why my wife has suddenly been liking italian cooking. ;-)

LOL.

I always picture ScottN looking like Einstein but sounding like Steven Hawking.

I picture Luigi Novi as someone dressed in a suit ready to enter the arena of political battles. The sort of person that carries around 2 pens in his pocket. One black and one red for quoting all the inaccuracies that are mentioned in the world.

I picture Polls Voice as the typical engineer… sits around at a desk of sorts and has no life… and when he does move around, he carries with him about 50 pounds of books in a large backpack. The sort of person who scares people away because he thinks too much… he probably wears collared shirts to school.

Torque, I (almost) fit your Polls Voice picture.

ScottN sounds like a voice synthesizer?

I think Torque needs to grow a little, you know, stop living just in the moment.

Oh, and ScottN, was his description of Polls Voice close but not quite because it had info that wasn't true, or because it didn't have some specific information.

Some info that doesn't *quite* fit me, but was very close.

oh, you mean you carry around 100 pounds of books and work alone all day?

well, does anyone else have an opinion on what I look like except for Polls Voice who sees joy in pointing out the torque = moment relationship of my name?

Well, in addition to the MySpace picture, there's another picture out there with me in it. It's at: http://www.lackland.af.mil/info/BMTFlightPhotos/2000s/2005/May/331%20Flt%20245%20May%202005.jpg

I'm on the right side of the photo, and my head is right in the center of the squadron logo.

Here's some pics of me

http://www.myspace.com/fitz1980

Anyone want to guess what I look like before I put up a pic?

I guess not, so here I am.
Tahdah!
The streaky lines are a smear on my scanner.

You look like a younger Ernest Hemingway....seriously

Butch: The streaky lines are a smear on my scanner.
Luigi Novi: Oh. Okay. For a sec I thought you were going for some kinda Salvador Dali type of thing there.

John, yea, I've gotten that Hemingway remark before on this picture. No plans to end the same way, though.

boy, you really are a nitpicker.. that left eye is looking at things in the background... things that would be missed by people who look where the action is...

BTW, I mean no offence, Butch...

and please tell me Luigi doesnt' look like a lizard with a spiked turtle shell

Well I have opened a multiply page and will be putting up a few pictures of me and other stuff related to me. As soon as I figured out which ones are best suited for this. I will warn you they will be representative of me but will be processed in such a way as they cannot be used for identity theft.

Ok. Well if anyone is interested there are several pictures on my multiply page right now of me, my lovely wonderful wife, me and my best friend as well as a couple of exfriends and my stepson.

Just in case anyone wants to put a face with the rants. :-)

No offence taken, Anon.

How are we going to find the Multiply page?

Um Yeah I realized just a few moments ago I forgot to do a link or something to it so here it is:

rahmota (dot) multiply (dot) com

Also there is picture of me standing next to my car at the time in my security officer uniform (minus the utility belt I hadn't been issued anythign yet) I am quite proud of that car as it was my first one. A 1979 Ford Pinto with a 171 cid V-6, 14 inch rears (off a thunderbird) 13 inch front rims, two 12 inch speakers mounted to the back of the back seat and a weight reduction package level 1. That car could hang with mustangs and camaros (stock ones that is) and still get good milage.

And three images from the burning of my old trailer. One before we burned it (after I'd guttted and smashed it down) one during and one afterwards.

Well I guess either no one went there or noone felt a need to comment. I'm not sure whether to feel complimented or concerned.

Looking at my previous post I'm not sure if 171cid was right (it doesnt seem right in my mind but I sold the books with it several years ago after I took an S10 out with it so I can't be sure) I know it was a colonge 2.8L V6 that had been bored and stroked slightly.

And the Ford Pinto is a much maligned car. I would'nt mind actually getting another one like I had. It was a fun little workhorse that took me all over the place and held up under quite a lot of abuse.

I didn't comment because clicking on the photos caused my Internet Explorer to freeze up time after time. But I just began trying to use Safari (which I have in my Applications but almost never used) for sites that cause IE trouble, and it worked.

You sir, are a regular Lank Thompson. (Gold star to whoever gets that reference. )

Btw, what's "rahmota"? Is that your name, R? If so, is it your first or last? (If you don't mind my asking.)

Sorry about that. I'm not sure what the deal is with that as IE works just fine with the site for me. Just another glitch in the web I guess.

Are you referring to the SNL character by Mike Myers about the British kid in the tub with the strange pictures? OOOkkkkaaaay I'm not quite sure how to take that. Maybe with "Sincere admiration". Yeah I realize that I can have a bit of a dark sense of humor and am somewhat intrigued by the darker/ironic/different side of life (not to mention Britcomedy). But Speaking of pictures sometime over the next few days I might be putting some more up. Not sure yet. I've got about 4 gigs of digital images and four shoeboxes of film images I've taken over the years. Not to mention at least 3 rolls of film floating around somewhere I need to get developed. And if I go to the family archives there are probably I would say at least 500 or so pictures and slides dating back to some old tintypes that the family have had taken.)

Rahmota is a combination name for the internet that I use. I developed it from my all time favorite sci-fi author's initials. Robert A.Heinlein and from the false religion Mota that was created in his book sixth column as a front for the remnants of the US Army to fight the invading asian hordes (I will admit the book written back in the height of the cold war was and still is a very racist and sterotyped book but is still an interesting read and not quite as bad as Methuselah' Children in that regard IMO But I've tried to get as many of his books as I can as many of them are quite better.) As well as R being the first and last letter of my first name.

Not a problem with asking. I get that rather often on different boards. I like it because it does sound like somthing that a person might have as a real name but is still strange enough that it is hard to guess.

Oh and the wife was just looking over my shoulder and wanted it known that I had taken that picture while she was still carrying the pregnancy weight from our son. She has lost quite a bit of it since then. (Though she still isnt a twiggy for which I am glad More reubenesqe. If you can see their ribs they are not that sexy. If you can see their hip bones they are not healthy.)

I just uploaded a few more pictures. My old Buick Skyhawk after it burned up. Mydad's Caprice. Me standing in front of my Old Chevy and a mailbox my dad built but some scumbag brats wound up destroying in some mailbox baseball.

R: Are you referring to the SNL character by Mike Myers about the British kid in the tub with the strange pictures?
Luigi Novi: Close. It was the Myers character who states, "And I'm a handsome man!"

ohhhkkkaaayyy. I thought those where the same one. But oh well. Its been so long since I saw those shows. Alas and alack the wheels of time continue to grind us all. No turning back the past is the prime. Keep going onward til the final fall.

No, you were thinking of Simon.

Oh ok. *shrug* They're all kinda blurred together in the annals of my mind. The only ones of mike myers/dana carvey that stand out from that period mainly are hanz and franz, church lady, wayne and garth.

Hey everyone Happy4th.

I've posted a picture on this site of me and my girlfriend, taken at Louis XVI Restaurant in October 2008, just before her hip surgery. She hates the pic no end, and might just let me have it if she found out. But, make up your own minds. The pic is here.

For some reason I always have this mental picture of you as being in your late twenties, even though that makes no sense within the context of any of your posts.

Adam, you look different than I remember you last. Maybe it's the angle at which you have your head or something. But is your hair darker than when we were last in person?

Your girlfriend looks lovely, btw. Tell her I said so.

Thanks for the good words about my girlfriend, Luigi. She's really great. But no, my hair isn't darker since I last saw you (it's been a few years, hasn't it?) If anything, my hair is a bit grayer. It must have been the lighting in the restaurant that makes it look darker. I've had graying hair since my twenties, and wouldn't use anything to change it. Gray it stays. At my age, I'm grateful I still have all my hair.
And, I've made no secret of my age; I'll be 55 this November. Old enough to retire from my job. But I probably won't. I'm old enough to remember watching the original Star Trek on its NBC run.
By the way, I highly recommend Louis XVI restaurant, if you live in the New York area. Or even if you don't. It was located in Patchogue, near the end of Long Island, but I just found out they're moving. I don't know where or when, though. The restaurant's website is here, and I'm sure they'll post regular progress reports.

Yeah, you haven't made a secret of your age, I'm just a moron. You and your girlfriend both look really good, in my opinion.

Thanks for your nice words about me and my girlfriend, guys. They make my already huge ego insufferably large, and I'll probably be insufferably pleased with myself for at least a month.

I'm 6'1" and overweight. I wear glasses, and I have light brown hair.

And I will NOT be posting any photos of myself.

I'm 5'8" and somewhat overweight... (working on that part) Blue eyes, brown hair, goatee- easiest way to see a picture is to go to my site, www dot nolinecinemas dot com, which has a picture on the front page.
