What do you look like?

Post by S. Allen »

;) I've come to take advice from many of you, and offer mine, as well as even befriending a few. I've always kind of wondered what everyone looks like, except of course postal, I just wonder what he looks like without his cheese-hat.

I'll be brave and go first, mind you, I'm no matinee idol.

Scott, that IS a real picture of me! Kuhli made it years ago. If you look, it even has the little discus in the net and everything :p

I'll check and see if I still have a picture of me around anywhere that shows my natural hair color, I guess, if I see some more participation in the thread. It's not like there are an overabundance of catfish fanatics of the feminiminimine persuasion around here :lol:

OK, I'll join in:

If you go to this site,

Go to the index then to July '01, scroll down and you'll find a shot of me looking in a floor level tank as a contaminant Trichomycteridae attacking a group of tetras. Possibly

I took a couple of photos, but they didn't turn out well enought to ID the catfish.

If you know your languages (not me), you'll notice that the Hindi in the sign is backward. I have half a mind to go stick an English placard in one of our photos, just to see if Jools notices when he flips the picture :-)

Yup, having fun allright; they cought me during the Dropkick Murphy's....
I rarely go out to the pub (was a pubtiger, not anymore), but I looooove going to concerts, shows and festivals; especially the more chaotic ones, with a lot of fun, beer and guitars. Although I readily make an exception for folk,I really like folk, and you can lure me with a pint of guinness anytime :wink:


S Allen, it's an Orange Goblin shirt, you know them?
btw really like the Misfits, esp the old records with all the crazy songs about skulls.

no, not familiar with them... maybe I'll have to poke around a bit for songs once this filesharing crackdown blows over.

And yeah, an old misfits fan, back when they had Danzig... a lot of good songs. If you get a chance check out the old metallica cover of Green Hell...

:shock:Umm... I don't have a picture, but I can describe myself, I guess. Try to imagine, ok? I am 5'2", and have dirty-blonde hair down to my shoulders. My skin is kinda pale from not going outside much in the last two months. I have glasses, and they are gold-ish. My eyes are usually hazel-ly, but they change color a lot. I also have...... *sigh*..... braces. They are horrible. They hurt, too. Umm... oh yeah! I am kinda skinny, and when I'm not wearing shoes, I walk on tip-toe. Don't ask why. Last but not least, I am 13 years old, and I LOVE catfish!!!

I do actually leave the jungle sometimes and get cleaned up. I figured you have all seen enough pictures of me chasing fish. This is my wife Erica and I.
