How do you imagine other BDers

[TPotSS]

Wow, Feanor, that was a good description!

Feanor, you are like me only shorter hair, lighter skin, and better at drawing.

I picture The Barrow-Wight as my dad.

The Saucepan Man, for some reason, is Rumplestiltskin.

Encaitare is a hobbit dressed up gothic style.

Eomer is an unkempt cave man (as opposed to those well groomed cave men).

Gil-Galad is the little twerp that sits next to me in English.

[Celebuial]

The Saucepan Man, for some reason, is Rumplestiltskin.

He, he! Thats really funny! I think it fits too (sorry Saucepan Man), except maybe an abnormaly tall Rumplestiltskin. I can see him prancing around and getting mad right now!!!!

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

You may have just written the funniest post I think I've EVER read!Congratulations! I tried to refrain from being too weird, but after that post I think I shall have to be.

You live in a cardboard box in a dumpster. And I don't mean that in a bad way, you choose to live in a dumpster. You think it smells better than most humans... You have a dog named Jack and he is your best friend, sometimes you blindfold yourselves and have fun trying to walk around without walking into small objects. (You have nothing against large objects.) You enjoy counting to 24, because it is a smashing number, with some lovely digits...

Most of the time you like to go to the zoo and study the monkeys, for that is what you want to be, when you grow up. (Yes, I do mean a monkey, despite the fact that you obsess over penguins.) Sometimes you practice while walking down the street and people think that you are crazy, which is the norm. Sometimes you even sing while doing it... * Rene Descartes was a drunken old fart, I drink therefore I am...*

You understand that 1+1= 10 (NERD!) and you really have a rock fetish. Sometimes you walk around (blindfolded) and find rocks, you keep them in a house, which you bought to live in, but later found that you couldn't squeeze yourself in, because of all the rocks. It's pretty much all you talk about. One time you went to Alaska, (combination of penguins and rocks) and were attacked by a polar bear, (because you were blindfolded.) You also absolutely refuse to be governed by a strange woman lying in a pond.

You like making movies, and are an accomplished director, with such movies as Apricots and Fish and The Tale of the PVA Canoe. (Yes, you do know what PVA is.) Sometimes you ask questions out of context, like, 'what the curtains?' and then laugh histerically about it. Your main inspiration for your movies comes from Star Trek. You actually have a HUGE crush on Leonard Nimoy, mostly because of his "dreamy eyebrows." (Can eyebrows be dreamy?)

Someday you plan on moving into a cave, and wearing a batman suit, so that at night you can drive out of your cave in the batmobile and save the town. (Whatever that town happens to be.) Your favorite book is also Paradise Lost by John Milton, though sometimes it seems that God is a little too piratical...

I don't think it's as funny as your post , but perhaps, we shall see...

[The Only Real Estel]

Gil-galad: Gil-galad seems to be rather a midget, he owns at least one of the oversized 'Darth Vader helmets' you'll seen in Space Balls, & has often become attached to characters in movies that have less than five seconds of screen time and are never named (see the real Gil-galad himself). Strikes me as the type of guy that would pick most of the toppings off of a slice of supreme pizza, he has probably seen the Prince's Bride more than three times, and burns a lot of music CDs. Unfortunately, Gil gave up his interests in both the tuba and the bagpipes; he now denies that he has ever played a note of music on either. Of course he got rid of the kilt that came with the bagpipes when he sold it to Eomer close to eight years ago. Used to chew his nails pretty badly, but he has licked that habit by now. He doesn't like to have his picture taken very much, but that's not revealing much since hardly anyone does. If I'm not mistaken I have hit very close to the mark.

[Encaitare]

(Can eyebrows be dreamy?)

Yes.

I shall next direct my attentions to... Elennar!

Leny is shortish with blonde hair. She wears cute little glasses, although she wouldn't want anyone to think of her as "cute." She often wears blue in the same shade as her avatar -- incidentally her eyes are that color as well. She likes sandals and flowy skirts.

[Thinlómien]

I laughed a lot to what you thought about me. Not very close. (Sorry, I know you probably were serious about that but still it makes me laugh.) Maybe I should change my avatar, because I don't look like it? (Well it's amazing how much avatars affect.) And yes, I'm planning a raccoon invasion!

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

(Can eyebrows be dreamy?) Yes.

You are absolutely right... *dreams of sweet eyebrows*

Last time I forgot to thank all of the other people who tried to render an image of me. I will not tell you which ones are true. Personally I think I look like my avatar, which in case you can't see it, is an iguana wearing a Super-man cape. His name is Super Quincy and he's from the cartoon Foxtrot .

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Feanor, you are like me only shorter hair, lighter skin, and better at drawing.

For one thing, TPotSS, I'm amazed that I was right at all about you. Lucky guess, I suppose. But judging that you said I was correct (mostly), and judging by what I did say... You're right about me! *grin*

I've actually recently gotten my hair cut, so it's short enough to cause "Omigod, Fea, why did you cut your hair???" from people who claim to know me, and "Wow, that looks great!" from people who actually do. Judging by the conversation we had in Physics today, my skin tone apparently makes me royalty. As for drawing... most of you saw my dancing jesters avatar (props to Encai), so judge for yourselves.

As for Abercrombie... it seems to be the latest trend to describe you, m'dear. Since I always hated trends, I won't do it.

On to describe Fordim. I can't for the life of me get a feel for what this guy *really* looks like! And so, I'm playing this completely by [pointy] ear. Winging it, you might say. I suppose the closest image I've been able to reach is that of Marcus Brody, the absent-minded (yet lovable) pal of Dr. Henry Jones Sr. and his son Indie. But at heart, Fordie will always be Indiana.

Fea

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Oh but Fea it's so fun! Think of all the endless possibilities...

*talking as Fea*

Abercrombie you have 6 toes on one foot and four on the other. Once you tried to chop your extra toe off with a bulldozer to replace the missing one on the other foot. But all you ended up with was no toes and your legs under a bulldozer, which is no help at all.

or

Abercrombie you have a problem with your skin that makes scorpions constantly attracted to you. Sometimes when you're in the shower, you get a flood of scorpions creeping out of every hole possible to crawl all over your skin. I think that the only way to get rid of them it to peel two potatoes and stick one under each armpit, then hop around madly while trying to put on tap dancing shoes...

*not talking as Fea *

See? It's quite extraordinary, and since I'm having so much fun I think I'll describe you too.

Feanor of the Peredhil is an amazing basketball player. She is 7 feet tall and lives in four foot tall house. She tries desperately hard to be a hobbit, but fails miserably. Oh well, sometimes you can't have everything.

You really like to wear hats of all shapes and sizes. Your favorite hat is the one you got when you went to York, England. It is a gigantic viking hat 37 feet wide and 26 feet tall. You spend most of your time in it, because it smells like hamburgers. (Your favorite smell.)

You usually wear sequined clothing, becuase it makes you look shiny and that is very, very important. Sometimes, you carry around a battery pack and a lightbulb and you hang the lightbulb over your head with a specialized crane, so that you have an Aura.

Capitalization is your favorite part of grammar and you capitalize whenever you have a chance. Sometimes, you'll capitilize every single word in a sentence and your teacher will get mad at you. Your brother on the other hand, doesn't capitilize, he uses commas. All the time. Each member of your family has their own special grammatical power. You are the Capitalization Fairy.

hmmm... am I close?

[malkatoj]

Abercrombie is potentially the strangest looking geek you have ever seen. She has had plastic surgery on both her ears, one to look like an elf ear and the other to look like a Vulcan ear, and she seems to think there is a difference. She once dated an orc, which angered people and so she got into sword fights because of it. They cut off almost all her clothes, which is why she's Abercombie . She tends to mutter 'my precious' when thinking about anything she likes, especially noodles. She also wears those weird contact lenses, the printed kind that make your eyes look like stuff. Hers look like flowers. She smokes a pipe and speaks with a phony British accent. I imagine that she actually resides somewhere in northern Canada, but runs away every few weeks to a more tropical lifestyle in Bermuda. She is rather short, thought she wishes she were taller so that people would stop mistaking her for a dwarf and she has yet to realize that for that to happen, all she has to do is shave off the beard. She also tends to walk up to random people and point into their faces while muttering some random phrase in Elvish. Her hobbies include knitting and nancing around in fields being proud of how pretty she is. She also enjoys getting drunk and singing songs from Monty Python. Her skin is very pale because she never goes outside, and trust me, you never want to see her dance.

Yep, that's Abercrombie all right. Hope I didn't offend you.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

*speaking as Fea's real-life alter-ego*

Wow... that is so incredibly wrong that it's hilarious!

*speaking as Fea*

Yep... that's me alright. Well... except that I play soccer, am not particularly tall, have a large house, prefer Elves... Oh, but what I wouldn't give for an aura...

*alter-ego*

Wouldn't this sort of back and forth conversation qualify for discussion in The masks of inscrutability, or are you really you?

*Fea*

Hush, L*... don't go off topic.

Abercrombie of Rohan, you are a size 5, blonde-haired, blue-eyed teenage girl with a crush (which even you can't comprehend) on Jake Gyllenhaal. You've seen Donnie Darko, but didn't really understand it. You like horses, but rarely get a chance to ride. Your favorite school subject is Algebra, but once math reaches the "When will we ever use this?" level, you revert to History. You prefer local history to global, however. You like to paint, but can't stand trying to accurately capture the image, preferring to paint what looks cool instead. Your favourite television show is American Idol, but you also like That 70's Show and The Beverly Hillbillies.

Fea

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

U forgot that i luv ORLANDO BLOOM!!!!!XOXOXO!! *swishes her long blonde hair over her back and does her best valley girl impression*

And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

Malkatoj, spot on! How did you know?

Since I don't want the mods to close this thread down on account of chatting, I will have to post a reply as well. Which victim to choose... Oh! I know! Encaitare, you are the lucky contestant...

Encaitare, you are a child of the clouds. Most of the time you live in a room full of artificially generated mist, caused by the fog machines that you have strategically placed around your room. You always need to be wet, so you had a child kiddie pool installed in your room. It is constantly being refilled by your robot named Marvin.

You are a poetry lover and for most of the time that you spend in your tub, you are reading poetry, Vogon or otherwise.

When you are at school, you live in a bubble filled with specialized air. The air has pureed crystals in it and reminds you of your natural habitat. You usually wear a sign that says, " Don't touch me, I'm molting."

Sometimes you go to the aquarium, actually not sometimes, always. Your favorite exhibit is the starfish, becuase they are stuck to the rocks and you can't for the life of you, figure out how it has happened. sometimes, the security guard (George) escorts you out to the parking lot where you can't find your car, so you just end up taking the blackest looking car.

right?

[Neurion]

I picture Mark: 12-30 as a towering patriarchal figure, most likely with waist-length or longer beard, and gnarled staff handy. Most likely to be found wandering the desert.

Favourite activities include striking springs out of stones and pronouncing judgements off of still-smouldering stone tablets.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Lol! An interesting image, Neurion, considering that Mark12_30, aka Helen is female!

[Thinlómien]

dancing spawn of ungoliant - 170cm tall snake-human. She has short, purple hair and wears too much make-up. Brown eyes. Can't stay still for a moment, but doesn't speak much. 19 years old.
Feanor of Peredhil - long, dark hair. Short and has pointy ears. Hugo Weaving as Elrond -like eyebrows. Round head. Smiles often. And yes - she's a mixture of a noldorin elf and a hobbit. (I thought she was about thirty years old, but I checked. 17 (or 18). Oh my guard. )

My meaning wasn't to insult you, if I did so... This is what you look like to me. Maybe I made you laugh as much as you made me laugh for your descriptions about me.

I changed my avatar, as you can see. So the raccoon invasion's ended. (I don't look like this avatar either...)

[Neurion]

I have long suspected as much, yet I can picture her in no other guise.

[Encaitare]

And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

I'm ashamed to say, Abercrombie, that when I first saw your name the "Abercrombie" bit was what stuck out, and I kinda went "Ack" since I despise Abercrombie's clothing. Fortunately you did not turn out to be anything like the images that.... place *shudders* inspires in me.

And if you take your description with a grain of salt (okay, maybe a few grains), it makes some kind of sense. My room is all blue and oceany and I'm a poetry fan (especially Vogon -- it's only the third worst, after all ).

You usually wear a sign that says, " Don't touch me, I'm molting."

Now I'm putting that on a shirt.

[Morai]

Amanaduial the archer She's kind, and adventureous, and has that trademark long shiny hair that looks picturesque in a light breeze. (Though it's a pain when there's a storm of any kind, so she resorts to wearing it up most of time.) She is quite tall, and used to feel awkward around any sort of crowd, unless she's near elves.

[Shelob]

Abercrombie

And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

at least you didn't choose 'Kurtz' as a name...


Malkatoj--You carry around at least one sword with you at all times, though you would prefer to have two. After you accidently cut your hair while playing with swords three times in a row you decided to solve the problem once and for all by getting rid of your head...after further thought however you decided that that wasn't the best of choices and just got a hair cut instead (which hair I don't know...there are too many to choose from...but I'm sure it looks lovely). You were recently put away for saying you were an emperor because some moistend bint had lobbed a scimitar at you (even though we all know that strange women laying on their backs in ponds handing over swords is no basis for a system of goverment and that supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses not from some farcical aquatic ceremony). You manged to escape though because you're a pirate and that's what pirates do...and the fact that you had help from a ninja named Alfred. Your favorite type of music is Rap...Esperanto Rap!

Encaitare--Well, I've been picturing you as your Ford Prefect avitar--mostly from lack of imagination--but since that picture was ruined for me the other day at school I now must picture you some other way, so here before the entire Barrowdowns I'll create the NEW YOU! (aren't you excited?...nervous?...putting on your pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic peril Sensitive Sunglasses?)
You as well as reading poetry (Vogon or otherwise) attempt to write your own. Furthermore you insist on reading it to anyone who will listen and your house usually resounds with your shouts of

"Purple rose the sun one night
with a lovely greenish-brownish light
as penguins falling from the sky
learned, too late, they could not fly"

or

"Garbled flowers, moustached mouse,
poor petunia and thinking whale
such shall ne'er see my house
or hear this lovely rhyming tale"

because of the above described behaviour you're usually left homealone.
Physically you're very thin and aery. While not actually being small you always give the impression of being some lost faery, correction, some lost mischievous faery. Because you've always been seen as small and unimortant you tend to stand up for the little guys...and if that's not good enough you stand on their shoulders and shout--which ususally gets someones attention. You have long-ish light brown hair, bright and happy eyes (one blue one green) and a pair of fake vampire teeth you wear every single day (and polish before every visit to the dentist).


Enjoy! (or not...what with free-will and all...)

Now I'm putting that on a shirt.

Similar. When i first saw it i was screaming, "Ahhh! The Downs has been taken over by Capitalists!"

But now I know that Aber is much different. Thank Hedwig that's not true...

~ Liberal-loving-living Ka

[Elennar Starfire]

Encaitare: Your description of me is completely inaccurate except for not wanting to be thought of as 'cute' and wearing glasses, but I like it anyway.

Now I shall describe you.

Encaitare looks a lot like her avatar. She is a bit nearsighted, but refuses to wear glasses, giving her a perpetual squint. She likes to be outside, but has to wear tons of sunscreen as she burns easily. She can often be found reading poetry aloud to herself under a tree, or with a laptop computer, at the 'Downs.

[Lhunardawen]

I can't help but picture Sophia strolling in the meadows, deep in thought, the gentle breeze softly blowing her long, dark brown hair across her face. She is considerably tall, with a fair complexion, as well as dark eyes that easily get teary.

I don't know where the Thunder Mistress part comes in.

I don't mean to be pushy, but Bêthberry, aren't you forgetting something?

[ninlaith]

Have you ever noticed if everyone guessed what everyone else looked like going by their avatars alot of us wouldn't look too hott. Just an observation. In fact I believe one of us would have a face that looked like Spam. No names now.

[Neurion]

Except me.

[Gil-Galad]

Don't flatter yourself there neurion... besides Dark Helmet is really the great one, it would be awesome if i was actually Dark Helmet...even though i have actually been told that i sound like Homestarrunner by my lady-friends...

[Neurion]

I'm not. I'm being perfectly honest.

[Neithan]

When i first saw it i was screaming, "Ahhh! The Downs has been taken over by Capitalists!"

Ouch! Am I not welcome here then? We are not bad people you know.

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

In fact I believe one of us would have a face that looked like Spam.

You have something against that? My SPAM theme comes from a discussion about the nickname SpM (Saucepan Man); you know the sort, far too much caffeine or waaayyy to early in the morning....

[The Only Real Estel]

Have you ever noticed if everyone guessed what everyone else looked like going by their avatars alot of us wouldn't look too hott

Do you have something against Wario?

*raises eyebrow* I dare say, you people have far too much time on your hands.
As for the (much) earlier comment of people looking a bit like their Avatars, I must disagree: They do not pick the avatars as resemblance to their physical appearance. After all, physical characteristics are only skin deep.
The avatar is meant to represent something much deeper and more personal than appearance; it represents the soul.
Like Abercrombie. He chose Spam as his representative.
Spam is the diet of an astronaut. Well, Spam and Tang, that is.
I lived the first few years of my life on Spam. It is a daily presence in my life.
I open my email, what do I see? Spam!
My point is... it's a necessity of life. Perhaps that is what Abercrombie is trying to say... the world needs Abercrombie!

[Gil-Galad]

yes Abercombie is indeed needed in the world, probaly as an alter-ego that flys around the world giving out spam and jam and ham alot! and she probaly has to push the pram alot! and maybe a knight of Camelot?(yay Monty Python)

i still find it funny that people ask who is Monty Python...

[ElementFire]

we do have too much time on our hands, thank god for the BD, without it we would drown in our boredome...

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

the world needs Abercrombie!

yes Abercombie is indeed needed in the world

Well, I seem to be appreciated here. Mischief managed!

Gil-Galad, I know, Spam and Monty Python, can't go wrong with that.

Now, I haven't been imaginative lately so I think I will. While browsing the BD forum I realized something, THE Ka will be turning 100 this year! So I thought that that was cause for celebration and therefore I am going to be describing her to you all.

THE Ka is the youngest old person that you will ever meet. She lives by herself (in a bird's nest, but I'll get there later) and she doesn't need a walker. In fact, her great-great grandchildren still play with her on the playgorund.

In appearance, she hardly lets on that she has seen both world wars. She is small and light and has long black hair full of ravens. Of course, you don't always notice the ravens as they are very small.

She is the world's first most authority on buttermilk. The making of, the selling of and the tasting of. She takes it very seroiusly too. She recently took a martial arts training class and is fully qualified to whip your behind. Back to buttermilk. She uses her great skills in martial arts to save people all over the world. Where there is a crime against buttermilk she is there to stop it. Thankfully, due to her altruistic work in the Campaign for Better Buttermilk, those crimes happen very rarely anymore and the world is a better place.

She has a had 4 eye transplants because of her incessant reading habits. When she picks up a book, she literally can't put it down until she finishes it, even Great Expectations. This has caused some problems before, especially on the subway when she kept missing her stop.

She is inclined to dress like a punk rocker in memorial of Motley Crue, her favorite band. Usually she rides a donkey to work (at the buttermilk factory) because she hates modern transportation, besides the baggage carousels at the airport. She likes hats perched at a jaunty angle and cookies with peanut butter.

Happy future birthday, Granny!

Of course we aren't. I mean, how could we be, considering there's an "All Capitalists go to Heaven" rule?

Everyone should add a little halo and big wings to their mental picture of me.

[Gil-Galad]

Sorry Phantom, this will forever me my image of you:

HAHAHA! The Phantom, in spandex.... lol I never would havev pictured him like that, but that's hilarious...

Nope nothing against SPAM. I love SPAM. Especially the song from the Monty Python skits for SPAM. But anywho, I think the phantom looks like...well...I really can't say...they're a phantom for goodness sake..hahaha oh boy...
