I don't know if it's just me, but when I'm on QZ, I "visualise" who I'm talking to. It could be a face I've imagined and put to a user, or I could associate them with a famous person. For example, I've been talking a lot with Microwave today, and everytime I do so, I see Robert Englund for some reason (not as Freddy Krueger, btw lol) and when I talk to Gregsynth, I picture Liam Gallagher. SirGH seems to be "Edge" from WWE for whatever reason and Fatty is also from WWE....Paul Bearer haha. GratefulFan I picture to look like a girl I used to work with, and JSS actually looks exactly how I pictured :). Finally, and this is the best - Lostman = Freddie Mercury (70s). Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this? If not, who do you "see" when you're talking on QZ?? |
| GratefulFan 06.09.2011 23:48 |
That is so not fair! Everybody else gets to look like somebody famous and I get to look like some mysterious girl you used to work with. She better be cute! |

In my mind, everyone is wearing their national dress as they type, so Thistleboy is a ginger haired piece of shortbread in a kilt, Grateful Fan is in full ice hockey gear, including skates, all American queenzoners have to put down their rifles to type, and Irish queenzoners are lying unconscious over the keyboard with an empty bottle of Bushmills on their lap. |

If you must, living in a windmill with a hidden marijuana-plantation on the top floor and window-prostitutes on the ground floor will be an acceptable stereotype. |

If I recall correctly, Norton comes from a Northern irish protestant family background but was brought up in Southern Ireland. he said he got more abuse for being protestant than he got for being gay. Make of that what you will. It takes a lot to make me laugh at stand-up comedy, most of which I find annoying, but Dara O'Brien's stand-up routine made me laugh. He's not as good as Eddie Izzard or Dave Allen (both of whoim I;ve seen live, the latter a long time ago), but he's among the best of what;s currently available., |

I'm sure you probably have stairs somewhere, maybe for the podium the Queen uses when she pops over there every now and again to go shopping.

*Puts down rifle and cheeseburger and adjusts camouflage hat so I can see laptop screen* I feel like, if I'm even relevant enough to be pictured anymore (I don't really talk to anyone who regularly posts here nowadays), people probably visualize me as a young/middle-aged Russian geek. I'm actually not Russian. Back when I used this board daily, we always had those "What do you Queenzoners look like?" threads, and I was sometimes pretty surprised by how different some people looked, compared to how I expected them to look. |
