Better yet - what the heck y'all look like?

I'd go first, but I don't think I actually have a likeness of meself on the 'web at this point & time. Though I might - will have to spelunk.

Too bad I threw out all the pics of me circa 1995 when I had my dorm floormates shave my head for shits & giggles. Ah, well.

(Or is there a thread about THIS in ILM, too? Josh?)

I like "Who's your daddy?" better, can we discuss that?

Here's a horrible pic of me, mmmkay? Enjoy.

― Ally, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It doesn't show much of you, Ally.

As for me, I'm goddamned gorgeous but I don't have a picture to prove it.

― Johnathan, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I hate pictures of myself. So this will probably lead all to believe that I am really a balding 48 year old named Manny, but oh well...

― Nicole, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

do i even need to respond? i think the whole world has seen 'the picture' by now.

nicole has mystique because, after all of these years, she's the one person most of us haven't seen (ned and brian, i believe have met her in person).

― fred solinger, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

What am I, a "glamour model"? No one says to Fred, "Well, that picture don't show much of you!" Pfff. You could always go to Otis's page of bizarre shit like axes in doors and look at the top pic - I'm in that one, but honest to god that's the worst picture I've ever seen of every single person in it.

And you still don't see much more of me.

― Ally, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You are gorgeous, Ally. But not as gorgeous as me.

― Johnathan, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

No one says to Fred, "Well, that picture don't show much of you!" I have made a reslution to be nicer to Fred. Curse you, Ally, for lobbing that beautiful stright line my way at a time when I can't capitalize on it. Curses, curses, curses.
Oh, my picture? I don't have a solo one, but there's one of me and my wife floating around that may not come up in your browser. There's another set of pictures at my college roommate's website from our wedding which feature me either fading into the background or lookng crazed (which pretty much sums up my two main modes of operation).

I'll vouch for Jonathan, he's the most gorgeous person on this board. TOTALLY hot. Almost Richey-hot, you all really should see a pic, it's a shame.

Dan, you have problems with HTML on this board and ILM quite often, I notice. Maybe I juts have attributed all HTML mistakes to you inexplicably.

― Ally, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well Jonathan should put a picture up!

I demand male cheesecake shots today, damnit! Is only Dan going to comply? I don't count fred, because that picture is older than Ethan.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Don't worry, girls, I'll get it sorted.

― Johnathan, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

A picture of me can be found on makeoutclub.com, do a search for boys in London, and I'm the, er, Evil 5th Teletubbie. Go look at my stupid grinning face, and be in awe!

You've got a really kind face, DG. I bet you're a lovely person to know.

DG looks like my friend Brendan from high school, but not blonde. You can wiggle both your ears? I can tie cherry stems with my tongue, and also touch the bottom of my chin with my tongue. Let's start a freak show.

I'm still waiting for Richey-Hot Jonathan's picture.

― Ally, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well I went to the photog studio and spent a few hundred dollars but I think it's worth it to impress y'all. This is the "young" one that's going to get me a part on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit one of these days. (only pic I've got up, honest!!)

there are no pics of me online at the moment, although there may well be soon-ish.

what do i look like? dud, probably, heh heh. to my shame, i look like an indie boy. i have been told i look like a young jarvis cocker (different class era) but this has also been refuted, and all 'indie boys' get told they look like a young jarvis at some point don't they?

i have been known to wear a (fake) fur coat and, apparently, have *cats eyes*. hmm, just realising the above makes me sound far better than i actually am...

― gareth, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Another good picture of me can be found here.

(Yes, the color of the sky in my world IS orange with grey polka- dots. Why do you ask?)

No, no, you've got your links mixed up. You're the second to the right, aren't you?

― fred solinger, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well, what do you know? There I am!

Fourth picture down. That lovely looking chap in the burgundy shirt, with the specs. Yeah, the one not looking @ the camera - that's my good side, by the way.

You want a frontal shot? It'll cost you some money. (My ex- girlfriend once likened me to Matt LeBlanc. Didn't talk to her for a week after that.)

― David Raposa, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

Thank you Nicole for sending me back to Hootie-Hell. (I guess I deserve it for that link, but I still have little bruises on my tender heart.)

I think I should point out, though, that my brother is the one who REALLY looks like Hootie. In fact, he loves hearing that comparison even more than I do!

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

― james e l, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

If it is any consolation Dan, karmic vengeance has already been visited upon me.

I was just told I look "exactly" like Dana Scully. Nothing against Gillian Anderson, but I look nothing like her. The hair's about the same, but that's it.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I'm beginning to think I'm related to Nicole, because I also get told I look like Gillian Anderson.

― Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Maybe you're my secret love child? Stranger things have happened.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

That would be extremely bizarre. I look nothing like my so-called mom though, so it could make sense.

― Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Wouldn't there have to be some bizarre temporal physics going on for Nicole to be Ally's mom? At any rate, here's the Annoying List Of People I've Been Told I Resemble (Which Is Primarily Annoying Because I Look NOTHING Like These Guys): Denzel Washington
Darius Rucker
Jesse L. Martin
my brother Darrell (people claim we look like TWINS, fer chrissake)
Shemar Moore (???? I mean, I'd be psyched if it was true, but it's NOT)
Taye Diggs (see Shemar Moore commentary)
Wesley Snipes (MURDERDEATHKILL)
Billy Dee Williams (well, just shoot me in the head, then)
Andy Dick (Okay, now I'm lying.)

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Okay, now when I AVOID HTML, the formatting of my posts gets screwed up. God hates me, etc.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh my god, it'd be so awesome if you were Billy Dee Williams. "Hello, ladies. Here's a Colt .45, on me." Fuck yeah.

Okay, so let's cast a movie about Freaky Trigger (as if that wouldn't be the most boring movie that ever existed). Nicole is played by Gillian Anderson, Dan by Billy Dee, Fred by Joseph Fiennes, me by Elizabeth Hurley (I STILL don't understand this, Fred), WHO ELSE? Stephanie can be played by Mena Suvari, as if she has anything to do with any of this. My sister, played by Mila Kunis, will make an appearance.

― Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

dan looks like joe clair from rap city. if only ethan were here to back me up.

― fred solinger, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Josh: the one picture I saw of him wasn't that clear, so I will just go with Christian Bale because this movie needs Christian Bale Tom: Greg Evigan Ned: Chewbacca

― Nicole, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

EVERY movie should have Christian Bale in it, hello. Josie and the Pussycats would've been way improved if Christian Bale was in every scene for no reason. And if Christian Bale was in Titanic instead of Leo DiCaprio, it'd be the best film ever made.

I get told I look like "Kate Winslet before she got fat" (which always gets us into an argument because I don't think she's fat) by a guy at work, so I could just imagine that's me getting saved from drowning by Christian Bale. I'd watch it every fucking night.

I think Tom should be portrayed by Henry Rollins, for no reason at all other than it'd amuse me.

― Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Well, in the only picture I've seen he did look convincingly Rollins- y in intensity. Plus he could leap around shirtless, and I suspect this movie would need some action. Still, I think Henry is too sensible to be convinced into growing a beard.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh, I bet we could get him to grow a beard. It's part of the roll, etc.

Keanu Reeves should also be in it, but I'm not sure as who.

― Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I don't look like any film stars. Can I be animated instead?

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

CLEARLY Otis is played by Keanu.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Oh, that's awesome. Otis & Ramon = Keanu Reeves & Alex Winter. Why did I not think of this before?

Either that or the guys from Dude Where's My Car?

And no, you cannot be animated, Tom, I already decided you are Henry Rollins.

― Ally, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

no, it'd be great if he was animated, a la who framed roger rabbit? and we could all interact with him and no one would ever question once why he was animated.

or, alternately, tom could be played by hugh grant.

― fred solinger, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Tom is an animated Henry Rollins. There, everyone's happy!

Dave Raposa may kill me for this, but based on that one picture I have to nominate the guy from "Dharma and Greg". james_e_l gets played by David Schwimmer or Dylan McDermott, can't decide which. Could someone who's seen DG's pic give him an actor before I assign someone goofy just to be a bastard (like, say, Winona Ryder)?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Hugh Grant with an animated beard.

I'm sorry! I meant it as a compliment - it's in the eyes. It could just be the artistic photo!

― Ally, Monday, 18 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Or rather - I mean that I'm sure she's a lovely woman and everything, so thank you for the compliment, but I just have this reactionary "thing" about her voice.

A feud could still be fun though - It'd be like the Hatfields vs. the McCoys - ILE style.

― Kim, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

OK, after much digging around, I finally found a recent photo of Paul. I have, however, used the magic of photoshop to dress him slightly better than his usual "escapee from Oxfam" Pulp stylee casual clothes.

So, here is Paul Strange.

Hmmm, I have somewhat rather predictible taste in men, do I not?

(BTW, Paul is going to KILL me when he gets home...)

― gareth, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Actually, he *likes* the clothes. That's his real hair, though. Though not for long... his damned LAW FIRM has ordered him to go and get it cut. If they touch his fringe, I'll sue the bastards.

Surely, that can't be legal, forcing an employee to go to a firm-endorsed hairdresser? This just outrages me!

I've been told I look like: Toph from "That 70s show," Liev Schrieber, Fred Couples.

― scott p., Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I *love* my Danny! I've wanted one my entire life, I was so happy when they were reissused. I mainly wanted one because of the weird, spidery sounds that Syd Barrett used to coax from his. And the lipstick pickups just *look* so cool.

As to the sound, they are not very versatile, but they have a very distinctive chinka-chinka light, airy, delicate, trebley sound. It's absolutely perfect for the 60s style pop that we do, though I often have to beef up the sound with a slight chorus for the more dronerock stuff. If you can get the pick-ups balanced right, you can get an almost harp-like quality out of the guitar, especially if you play up towards the neck of the guitar.

Oh god, sorry, I'm guitar geeking out. :-)

― masonic boom, Tuesday, 19 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Danelectro also made an odd "baritone guitar" . I played it , kinda neat but hard to play I guess, unless its kappoed. I tune my acoustic down to d , sounds rich and nice.

Errm, no Emma. Not usually. But I volunteered to model some office exercises to illustrate a piece in the paper. BTW, I meant fredphoto in the post above. I used to get them confused for both being American with four letter names, but now I see the huge difference. I apologise to Josh.

― Nick, Friday, 29 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You've got to note that this is the reason why I never use the tube these days. I fall asleep and I could be in Merton for hours.

Pete, for some reason I had decided that you looked like the German exchange student who's been in our math department this year. So I'm disappointed that you look nothing like him.

Maybe I saw a guy that looked like him in one of Tom's pub pictures and put the wrong name to him.

This thread may be taken as 100% typical of ILE as it was In The Beginning, when all was without form and a void and the Word Was ILE. From reading it one may clear away any wispy cobwebs of nostalgia that may be accumulating about one's memories of that epoch.
