Faulty minds eye

I was thinking, who here that has posted a picture of themselves looks the least like you expected?

I gotta go with Rick Lee.

Even knowing what he looks like my minds eye image still takes over, and it ain't alike!

Your title made me laugh. I thought it might be about eye floaters?

To me what he posts and what he looks like goes together.

Just like when you see the picture of a radio personality like a DJ or traffic newscaster, most anyone you have heard or read will be very different than the image in your mind. There is none worse than finally seeing the picture of that sexy female voice.

That'll make you stop predicting.

As for me, I've had a few here when they saw my pic wondered seriously why I didn't look more like Doonesbury's Zeke with the long sandy hair, the beak and the cowboy hat. The beak I have.

SOB...I weigh over 30 lbs or more less now and I think due to the side effects of the prescribed meds I take have a lot less hair..

I would rather have less hair than a stroke..thank you.

Yeah I may look like I am fat dumb and stupid but I am not..at least not stupid!

Sometimes I meet people from online games.

Always interesting. Often the minds eye is right, once in a while it is wrong.

You can often tell someone's height by the things they type and their reactions.

Tall people are difficult to get insulted. They just brush off mud and smile.

A short person can't let it go, they reach down and pick up mud and throw it back.

An exaggerated stereotype for the purpose of this post; but one that to some extent plays true even if the differences are less pronounced than the scenario I laid out.

The sexy voice I wonder about was a call from Fed-Ex to tell my they had trouble delivering a package and I would need to pick it up from the office.
I was busy at the time, but that voice sure spun my head a bit.
That was some parts from Pelican, back when the interior trim tools were on sale. I guess I still remember.

Of course not. To your health, Tabs.

Should you need it, being you is the best revenge.

12-13 years ago. That brings up some memories.

Mike is doing great - we email/text every few weeks.

I keep telling him he'll be back, then he tells me to STFU.

I have a gift.
