Strange! I guess I STILL have you mentally pegged at a couple years too old.

And while on the subject of ages, I have yet only found one 'Downer who strikes me as old enough to be retired: Thenamir. I rather suspect that the isn't that old, but that's hold old he strikes me.

Other than that, until I learn specifics, people tend to get dumped into one of three categories: young (13-16), adult (17-26ish), and 'middle-aged' (Late 20s and up). Not that I can always peg their ages right...

Wow... you actually do as well!

And you could tell that...by an inverted picture of mine? You're pretty good also, apparently...

Personally, I think you'd be a good chef, guy, the ones that throw their knives in the air & all that cool stuff.

Nilp is his avatar, and bounces or skips rather than walking. (shadow guy)

Yep!

Although, I neither bounce nor skip, I glide along ethereally--if I'm not in the mood to use my teleportation skill.

Now, more torturous thoughts that my mind has conjured:

Feanor of the Peredhil is a guy.

He's the son of an Elf and a Dwarf--so technically, the Peredhil part is still true. Because of his heritage he makes great and wonderful stuff out of wood and odd bits of paper.

(Had to do that. She's seriously affecting my Silm reading. Everytime I come across Fëanor his image turns into . . . well . . . Fea of the Downs!)

the guy who be short is the host of his own do-it-yourself show. He shows people how to make shelves for short people. I have no idea where this came from.

This is Formendacil. I dunno why, though.

You literally have me laughing out loud! A rare achievement, for which I offer my hearty congratulations, Milord Felagund! I would definitely have repped that, but your high quality in your overall posting has made that a bit of a problem...

To reciprocate, you, Milord Felagund, look something like... This fellow

Sharku strikes me as ancient and creepy and somewhat like the narrator of the back-in-the-day television show Tales from the Crypt.

I'm what now?! But to be honest, I've affected my own reading. Every bleedin' time I see the oldies posting about fea and hroa, I have to stop and take a second peek to make sure I'm not being chatted about.

the guy who be short: I'm terribly sorry if you have already fallen victim to my imagination. That said:

the guy who be short is a one-man-band/ stand up comedy act. He often walks on stage in black slacks and dressy coat with tails. Wearing ties is beneath him, and he often leaves the top of his snazzy dress shirt unbuttoned. Height isn't really an issue when he's on stage. Blue eyes sparkle and wink as he feeds punch line after punch line to the audience. Hair...I think blonde, at the moment anyways.

Ha! Haha!

TGWBS commences to roll about upon the floor in laughter

Far too scared of the stage to ever approach it, though I do enjoy sharing laughter in a small group of friends. My clothing consists of the first thing I can find in the wardrobe and is thus nowhere near as cool as what you described.
I do often leave the top button of my shirt (snazzy dress shirt?) unbuttoned in summer. Unfortunately, 6th Form requires that I do wear a tie every weekday, so you're wrong on that account.
Blue eyes? Very attractive, but not moi. Brown and bespectacled.
Blond hair... black.

And I mean dark dark brown by that, the colour that appears black and resides on every Indian's head (unless they're bald).

I'd like to know what the new members think I look like

Wait, how old did you think I was? In real life people often think I'm older than I really am, but I get the feeling that I might come across as younger than I really am online.

Erm... anywhere's from 18-24, although I would have picked 20 if it had come to guessing.

Clearly that's not the case...

You are off, but quite a bit closer than I was thinking you were 45!

The Only Real Estel · 10-03-2005, 07:15 PM

Since Nilp & Formendacil deviated to Lego characters briefly this must be the phantom.

Morai · 10-04-2005, 06:13 PM

I think it's about time I returned the favor:
Sleepy Ranger : Despite what he lets on, Sleepy isn't Aragorn incarnate or a Star Wars character. He's what his name describes: a tired employee for the Forrest Service. Why is he sleepy? Because there's no Starbucks in the parks of course! Instead of a walking stick he has a light saber, and occasionally he'll sneak his cloak on over his sandy brown hair that's a bit too long. Not that anyone can usually tell, it's always in a ponytail under his Park Ranger hat.

The Only Real Estel · 10-05-2005, 07:46 PM

Back to LEGOs, sorry but I’m addicted.

I've found Holby, though it could certainly pass as Cailin lately...

Also, I ‘found’ a ‘moonlight’ version of the phantom.
