Describe the person above you

Unread postby cynicalheretic » Wed 14 Feb 2007, 23:10:35

Here is a little game we can all play. Using your deductive reasoning skills and information that you have been provided on the forum and your imagination, describe what you think the person above you looks like.
i.e. The guy above me is above average height with grey hair. He is about 50 lbs over weight and has a propenisty towards wearing flannel. He has 2 earings in each ear and is currently wearing a led zepplin T

This game is hard because of the avatars that people use. It puts a picture in your mind that you can't get rid of. Like yours.
Let's see. From your user name, I would think that you are a recovering catholic that is still grappling with atheism. Not quite ready to look the abyss in the eye, and understand that it's just dark, and there are no monsters in there after all.

But your choice of avatar suggests that you have some sexual hang-ups you are holding back. I think you are about 5'10, with blond hair. Not overweight, but out of shape.
Perhaps some university education, but not a degree...yet. You don't enjoy sports, but enjoy watching them on tv.
Ta da! Psychoanalysis career here I come!

Your father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. Your mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. Your father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... Your childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, you would make meat helmets... When you were insolent you were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, you received your first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Wilma ritualistically shaved your testicles

I'll tell you the things that are wrong:
brown eyes, married for almost 11 years

born in the pacific northwest, have lived many places, am currently back in the NW

kinda liberal, extremely anti-abortion (but think parents should be tested, licensed, and have a high cost for every child after their first) other than that I love my planet, I HATE organized religion (except maybe hinduism, only because they kinda believe in the big bang) and HATE both prominent political parties.

2 year degree in electronics, so yeah I guess not 'official' official. Going to school for meteorology in the summer...Sick of electronics...

Everybody LOVES me! (at least in the 'real' world)...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 't')he above person has a mischievous sense of humor, a loser who has learned to laugh.

Grey Haired with pretty eyes. Wears a sports jacket and smokes pipe tobacco. He has a small scar underneath is chin where is father would lite matches off him as a child to light his cigars. He has a slight limp in his right leg where he accidently shot himself while squirell hunting for supper a few summers back. He never talks about the squirell, but after shooting himself he laid on the ground in pain; the squirell approached and sniffed... PMS could only look on in horror as it walked down to the cuff of his pants and proceeded to invade his nether regions. To this day, his friend and loved ones still call him one-nut McGee

To TITAN---> Eye color is a silly thing to have mentioned anyway. It was a complete guess. And the vast majority of Americans have brown hair so...yeah....

I thought you weren't born in the NW because you wouldn't have made such a big deal about it if you had lived there for all of your life.

Only a recent convert can be so zealous. :)

Liberals can be anti-abortion. Abortion is not a left/right issue despite what they will have you believe.

Meteorology? I've always wanted to study that stuff. I used to watch the weather channel religiously every time a major hurricane developed.

As for Daculling's comments...

I am intentionally vague about my personal life because it suits my interests on the forum. 8)

But can anyway make any educated guesses? Come on people, at least put a little effort into it.

Slightly accurate...

Madpaddy. You have reddish blond hair. You are married and your wife has black hair. You have two children. You like to wear sweaters. If you were an American you would wear flannel but you are Irish so you don't.
