For those who havn't seen it, 1941 was a very funny movie
 

I was referring to the book 1984. if you want, I can make it "class of 1941" (downgrading you from "brainwashed" to "patriotic")

Orwell's 1984 was the first thing that came into my mind. I just thought, however, that you'd just come up with a random year. Although 1941 means little to me. Unless your referring to the War, witch would mean that it would be in the middle. WWII, as all should know was 1939-1945.

Oh! Unless you think I am American, they plunged into the war in 1941 ish I seem to recall from my history lessons. I am not American. I am British! And proud of it! Jolly good! Tally ho! Pip, Pip! And Bernards your uncle!

Anyway, enough of this nonsense.
Lets get back on topic.

"What do you remember most about the war?"
 

I think it's time someone finally added this to their "guess list:"

The Barrow-Wight

• Species: Opii Biggus Shnozolus "The Common Hefty-nosed Penguin"
• Habits most of Antartica, eastern Argentina, though he occasionally hops a cab to slip up to Iowa for a wild weekend
• Diet includes herring, halibut, young sardines, small assorted South Atlantic schooling fish, and Pop Tarts
• Nesting season is in early June. Mating behaivor is mystery since he is a discreet embarrassed animal.
• When he is not feeding or caring for his young, he enjoys skinny-dipping, long hot baths, reminising about the 1960s, foot massages, listening to Moody Blues records until late at night with the lights out.
• Fairly liberal minded, he would be driving an used Volvo if he could reach the pedals.
• I won't mention his pecuilar tastes in television.
• Conclusion: The Hefty Nosed Penguin is gentle, easily influenced, yet not overly sensitive. He has a pleasant dispositon, is generally optimistic, and a welcome member of the Animal Kindom, even though he eats crackers in bed.

I hope you find this more amusing than insulting Mr. Wight.

Wilwarin has always reminded me of Loie Fuller... On stage, mystifying us with her acts of silk spinning and whirling about above a glass plate and coloured lights...

But, of course, we now know that it was all an illusion, but we still love you.

That description doesn't match me at all.

wanna guess?
 

Anyone want to guess about me? come on......I can take it......lol

Well, based on the limited information I have on you, I must assumed that you are a fox shaped snowman that loves to dance.

LOL...I do love to dance but...it's a cat ;)

Due to a slip of the eye, I just saw:

Is Alatar God? posted by Eru

I think alatar will remain a bearded, remote, floating, vaguely benevolent figure in my mind for some time...

guess about me
________
MARIJUANA INDICA

Oops, that was my second guess....Yay for cats!! Then I must assume that you have an obsession with being clean, and love to sleep.

Yes I do loooove to sleep but the cleaning thing gives me hairballs...(cough)

Do you like maple syrrup and hockey by any chance?

Maple syrups good on pancakes..and I can't say I care too much for hockey :p

Cut the chat.

If BDers are bands . . .
 

Gurthang: Switchfoot

mormegil: Green Day

The Saucepan Man: The Darkness ( :eek: )

Oddwen: System of a Down

Littlemanpoet, I like to imagine as a Dwarf poet who stalks Dearon and hurls bricks at him saying "Show me up will you?"
I like putting ridiculous back-stories to things. :D

Take Gandalf_the_white for example, I at first imagined him as a small child, but soon I began to think he was a wizard that wore a white pointy hat. My idea was that he was the original Gandalf the white and when old Olorin took his name he got all annoyed and started following him around and hurling bricks at him. :D

Farael is a tallish, slimmish, normalish looking person with brown eyes and kind of curly dark hair. He looks vaguely exotic and probably "sensitive" to his surrounding Canadians (think French artist...only...Hispanic). His accent cannot but be very strange: Yo quiero Taco Bell, eh?

;) :eek: :D

JennyHallu you have a pleasant voice... Short like 5'5, longish brown hair...hhmmm eyes hazel or green? Maybe even some freckles...:p I don't know could be way off, but it was fun to try and guess.:D

Not as far off as you might think. Eye color's off, and height (though not by much)...

Should I find a picture I'm willing to let you all see and post it to Tigerlily's photo page?

My only problem is that none of the pictures I like show my glasses, and I wear them all the time now.

You actually want to use a picture with glasses? Weird. :p

Incidentally, I have a very strong image of you, Jenny... I'm not sure why because I don't for everyone. Except these people of course.

Anyway: you are of medium height, very slim, with shoulder length sleek brown hair. Dark brown hair. You have green eyes and you wear very red lipstick. You are extremely pale. And no, you don't wear glasses.

You are all cherubs that dance around a halo of light

Nice try Jenny.... I am tallish (six feet) and slimmish (although if I keep on eating like this.... :rolleyes: ) Sadly, my hair is fairly straight. And exotic? I sure hope so :D

I rather think of you as I thought of your character Losse.... very attractive, normal looking girl (not too tall, but then not too short... slim but not anorexic, nice hair but not golden locks).... with a smile that can win over any guy's heart... and that little evil grin that shows that you are plotting something .... whether good or bad we'll find out latear

Oh my gosh!! Was that Perky who posted!? C'est un miracle Translation; It's a miracle!! I missed you my dear old Ent!! It's been far to long! Will you be staying?? Besides, I want to see a picture of you to get that image of an Ent out of my head. :p

As for others...

Jenny is Galadriel (I don't know why, I just do).

Sleepy, of course, is Slimy Cowell. :p

Farael is....oooo....I need to get back to you on this one.

My imagination isn't quite as weird as I think it is, after all.

I did specify "exotic to Canadians". That doesn't take as much work. ;)


EDIT: I just saw that Galadriel comparison. Wow. I kind of like that :).

Hi to you, Glirdan. Go to the Shire, and read my post in 'Numenorian Blood Runs Black'.



Oh, and Firefoot is Faramir with a mask on.

Perky looks just like Hobbes (from Calvin & Hobbes) but has the exact same personality as Calvin. He's rather mischevious and tends to get in trouble a lot, but is very funny.

There is something in that first avatar of Jenny's, that has made an imprint on me anyhow. She must be dark-haired, with all the cost - don't tell me you're a blonde!

And then there is that smile she has... Something I can't quite fathom... Sitting at her desktop, "doing her work" while lingering on the Downs. And the bourgeoise family-thing behind her: a husband and a SUV at the backyard? Just the rebel inside her at the BD?

Random Titles are White Striped
 

Nah, I think he's Jack White. He has that "rocker" personality. Not to mention that he seems to have an affection for the genre of music. Not quite sure about the appearance, but then again Rocker's are more vibrant in my mind than actors and such. :cool:

Anguirel is a Faberge Egg.

No, he's Tom Felton.

Quite interesting. Lets compare all the people I've been said to resemble-

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...et_of_Fire.jpg

Quite a lot when I was younger I believe.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...x-HanSolo5.jpg

Quite a few people have made this compariosn, Rune happens to strongly agree with this and has often referred to me as 'Young Harrison'.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...0px-John68.jpg

Perhaps the second most common resemblance people have made. I'm not really sure how I look like Lennon but... *shrug*

http://www.123people.net/b/brody-adr...dy-adrien1.jpg

Possibly the most common, and most accurate even according to me. Many people have said I look a lot like him.

As for Jack White-

In that pose, and if I grew my hair out longer I guess theres a slight resemblance.

Personally I believe Raine Maida, lead singer of Our Lady Peace, resembles me the most -

http://dropd.com/issue/84/OurLadyPeace/raine2.jpg

Feel free to picture me as any of those! :)

That’s weird, Sleepy, because, a lot of people say I look like this guy:

http://torbaybookshop.tbphost.co.uk/...d%20Dibnah.JPG

I don't know if anyone outside Blighty knows who that is.

Anyway, I've recently found myself imagining Eomer as Brian from Family guy. He looks vaguely Snoopy-ish... I think. Only, he'd wear a kilt.



(Dibnah, may you Rest In Peace).

I know what you mean dear, every time I get around to making a portrait of you this happens... It's a Memorex moment:

"Ooh! You've done another Ka! Pastel this time? Van Gogh's? Good, Good... Is that Lennon? No wait! You've told me three times before! It's..."


It's almost akin to a From most angles, Rousseau looks like Kalvin Klein... moment.

But dear, to quote Patsy: You are absolutely fabulous, dahhhling... :cool:

Random Titles get hosted
 

Everyone knows those television show hosts. I imagine most of our BD moderators as those folk. The specifics will come later.

I pretty much just want to get this thread going again
 

Sleepy looks like a young Harrison Ford ! :)

And now that I've finally seen you I can say that you look like that guy who's name eludes me at present. ;)

Not exactly sure why, but Rune has always struct me as a Buzdan Hayaller, but without a bald head as he had in Noi...

~Aesthete

Well, I don't talk much to either of them, but there are two BD'ers I feel like talking about.

In my mind Rune is Marx... or at least, he looks like him. And he smokes pipe, so I guess he's also slightly hobbit-ish. So I guess Rune is a short, rather chubby but in a good way Marx.

Also, even though I believe I've never talked to her, The Ka is clearly your good ol' slightly bohemian painter. A look of absent-mindedness veils a really sharp mind and paint stains veil what otherwise would be a rather snappy attire :p Yes, I always imagine The Ka as a cute painter.

Oh! and before I forget... Diamond is obviously Daffy duck in disguise. But she ain't fooling me!!
