Seriously, that's just... odd. Mind-Ang was 30. And since I've started, he had jet black hair and a constant sombre, solemn look, with quite pale skin and therefore visible stubble.

Estelyn, Bethberry, and The Saucepan Man all sit in the entmoot, and each have a 20 inch binder named 'Every ounce of Tolkien you'll need to impress people with your knowlege'. They go around in a circle reading from it in Entish. There's a computer sitting in the center, and they go around, dumbfounding the ents in the downs with their knowlege!

TGWBS...very amusing, your present picture of me.

I have one picture to draw for you...but it's pretty much from his own writing.

Fordim Hedgethistle - A hobbit. But not any hobbit. A very short hobbit. (Really, you all should read his stuff in the Green Dragon, it's quite hilarious.) And he wears humongous boots, and for some reason, I see red boots. Red boots with the hat that his Avator has. (I hope that I'm thinking of the right Avator.) He's got a serious face for a hobbit...

I know it's not possibly how you look, Fordim, but your character there at the Dragon is so easily picked up on that that's how I see you now. Sorry.

Boromir88 is now Jeff, the host from Survivior, in my mind. But a less annoying Jeff, with a better sense of humour.

i steal all my pictures of people from their avatars. if they don't have a face or something in it, i don't really get a picture.

the guy who be short is a small guy who is always throwing people these fierce looks.

perky is hobbs, and is easygoing and inquizative. im not really sure why he's inquizative, but he is.

wayne is a guy with buff arms that are always crossed. and has a handlebar mustache and is very spastic.

the pantom is the very shadow of death, as he dines on my corpse!

Now, I don't know why, but everytime I watch the video of Wake Me Up When September Ends, the guy there who joins the army always reminds me of you. It's really . . . weird.

Whoa, I always thought Ang was closer to his mid-upper thirties as well...

Holbytlass has long black hair and can best be described as spunky. Though she might not have the most natural talent, she makes up for it with hard work. She has an excellent sense of humor and many friends.

Most everyone thinks I should have reddish hair... maybe I should dye it.

Anguirel? 16? No way! You are at least 18 in my mind!

Call me weird, but Formendacil and Anguirel look alike for me.

No!!

It cannot be!

I am a unique individual. I am!!

My mental images of people tend to start out based on their avatars or usernames, then grow to encompass some strangenesses that are somehow connected to their posts, and then shift somewhat again when you learn/see what they actually look like.

To take Hookbill, for example, he originally started out, in my mind, as a thirties-ish, married, with two kids, goof- from somewhere in the southern States.

He then progressed to lose the kids (in my mental estimation), lose the wife, acquire a girlfriend, as well as about 50 lbs, and move up to New York.

Upon reception and/or distortion of the facts, Hookbill again moved, to somewhere in London, England. He lost the girlfriend, gained back about 20 lbs, and reset the clock back to 18ish...

He's still a goof, though...

Oooh, much more northern than London I'm afraid; there are other places in Blighty you know. Yes, I am 18 (In a week) though. I actually live in a quaint little village called Parbold, in the sort of between Liverpool and Manchester. Lots of hills and green fields.

I prefer the term 'eccentric'.

Formendacil, you have been, in my mind, a tall ish american with short ish hair and wears a lot of dark clothes.

The Saucepan Man seems to me, despite seeing his picture, to be a Yorkshire man with a beard like a rhododendron.

And any Tolkien fan worth his or her eleven copies of the Lord of the Rings knows it.

However, as I mentioned, the distortion factor kicked in, and you, decided my mind, must be a Londoner.

Ack!

An American? Not one of those! To quote a famous beer commercial:

"I am Canadian"

And very proud of it.

The rest of it isn't exactly wrong, isn't exactly right.

And an interesting thing I learned about myself today is that I tend to blur Hookbill and TOREstel in my mind. If I think of them as people, they are quite distinct, but after reading a, say, Crazy Captions post by one of them, and then scrolling down, I'm hardpressed to say which one posted.

Now, now, don't get too excited.

You cannot blame me, really. You both showed (and continue to show) inherent knowledge in the lore of Middle Earth. You both scaled the heights of the reputation system at an admirable pace. Wouldn't that make anyone think you must look alike or something?

I'll try to conjure a unique picture for Anguirel, for your sake.

Now that you said it, Fea, Eomer does have the makings of a rock star. The eyeliner alone does the trick. But I still can't get the deep, mellow voice out of my head.

Wrong thread, kiddo.

Well, she's a slug. A giant slug who spits acids and replicates into millions or tiny slugs.

She once fought alongside a giant frog with a dagger against a giant snake with horns. She ended up sitting back as the frog turns the snake into roast reptile.

No, this isn't allegory.
