How do you imagine other BDers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Anguirel · 10-13-2005, 10:18 AM

Actually, the relationship between catnip mouse and cat is tragic. Destroyed by love. Like Eol and Aredhel...

Hilde Bracegirdle · 10-13-2005, 10:44 AM

Are the Avengers

I've just been handed this rather interesting gem of a website. If you're having difficulty in imagining a fellow Forum member, then try to first fit them into one of the categories on thsi website.

i don't think you can say what you yourself are. I think you have to be told by someone else. Have fun, children!

Look here!!!

Hilde - I couldn't see that link

Was it a pic of the Avengers as in the classic 60's TV show? In that case I shall have to gender swap because I have to have the bowler hat of course, being the bearacrat (beuracrat? beauraucrat?.....aaargh)!

This is truly profound! My cats have an old, tatty ratty, he has been 'loved' so much by them that his insides are hanging out and he only has one eye and one ear.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 10-14-2005, 03:47 AM

Yes Lalwendë, it was the 60's Avengers, and such a darn good black and white studio photo too! Ah well.

It seems a bit more tragic when a dog falls for the cat's catnip mouse. We also have one with its insides peeking out.

Does that mean we can then imagine davem in a black leather catsuit and high-heeled boots?

Lalaith · 10-14-2005, 03:59 AM

Was it Honor or Diana, though?

You may if you like, Esty, but I would prefer not to summon up that image!

Actually, neither catsuit nor the bowler was present in this particular photo.

It was Diana, Lalaith. She is the only Mrs. Peel to me.

Lalaith · 10-14-2005, 05:00 AM

Ah, well that would explain why she wasn't wearing a catsuit...it was Cathy Gale ( Ms Blackman) who wore those, Mrs Peel (Ms Rigg) had much more demure satorial style.
NB Ahem. I hasten to add, before anyone starts imagining me as a zimmer frame, that my Avengers knowledge comes from viewing repeats rather than original transmissions...

I am still not sure if this is sweet or scary....

Anguirel, Mormegil and Gurthang are of course all swords.

However, Anguirel is a Toledo rapier, Mormegil is a broadsword and Gurthang (sorry the avatar makes me think of you as a practical joker) is one of those stage swords you can pretend to stab people with... or maybe a cutlass.

Wilwarin is antique lace

Lalaith (of course) is a skylark

Lalaith · 10-15-2005, 02:09 PM

And I now (for equally obvious reasons) envisage Mith as resembling the late and much lamented Kirsty McColl...

I am so glad you didn't say Ray Davies

Lalaith · 10-15-2005, 02:16 PM

Now would I do that...

Mithalwen · 10-15-2005, 02:24 PM

well I am even more glad I didn't plump for a "Fairy tale of New York" quote and open up the possibility of Shane McGowan.....

Bêthberry · 10-15-2005, 05:18 PM

Well, I guess I have to throw water on the flame warriors, but to be honest, I just cannot see any of those really fitting well any of our Downers.

I can see some ways in which SpM has some of those characteristics, but that doesn't begin to cover all his traits. There's a great deal of davem in this one, too, but, again, it doesn't quite come to terms with some of his other traits, which of course doesn't begin to include his other tendancy. See what I mean?

Then there's The Barrow Wight's various styles as his image as one to be feared but also just a little bit of this too.

I see myself slightly mixed between this one . this one , this one and this one . I know, hard to believe, eh?

There's a bit of truth about Eomer here, but not enough of his sense of humour. And there is a slight resemblance here of Boro88 but hardly enough to do justice to his profound rhetorical skills.

See what I mean? I think it does a grave disservice to account us Downers as anything ressembling such stereotypes. We are beyond caricature, I say!

(ran out of time--so many more I could have discussed as being inapplicable without in any way assuming allegorical reference!)
