See who you think Bill Bryson reminds you of before scrolling down:

Wow

... I was scrolling up this thread, since for some reason I started reading from the last post and then up... and when I saw LMP's picture and then the other one I thought "Hm... LMP really looks good on a suit" I had no clue that was not him... untill I read what Lal said.

Lal, there's no link to a picture of Bill Bryson in your post. Was it lost or did you intend folks to do a google image search?

Bb the image just comes up on its own. No link necessary.

The only image that comes up on my screen, Kath, is the pic which LMP has given us purporting to be him.

There's a blank, or rather black, space between it and Lal's text and highlighting produces only a think blue line down the left side.

Not that I don't know what Bryson looks like. It's amazing how facial hair produces such similarities. Well, I suppose the absence of other hair ...

But I"m not surprised. Esty's been parading around as Princess Fiona for her entire time here.
