You know how you form a mental image of the other forum members after reading their posts day after day? Sometimes you do catch a glimpse of others and you think: "Wow, he/she doesn't look anything like I pictured!"

Is it better that we not know what the others look like? Part of the beauty of the Internet is that everyone is equal, no judging people on looks or age, only on what comes out of their brain (in most cases). Would having a mug shot database violate that basic principal of anonymity that makes many want to participate?

Personally I don't care, since I am extremely good looking. Yes, my wife tells me so, so I know it is true. :) Picture below.


Seriously, I'm not gonna be first, but I'll be second or third if someone else is brave enough, or foolish enough.

Ahhh....I was way off. Except for you, George.
Hehe, I was way off with George. I pictured someone twice his size/girth and 10 times the amount of grey hair, maybe a little balding on top. Gee, what is it that our minds use, to come up with these images? Do they key into the written word and mannerisms? Very interesting to say the least.

I'm happy to be able to put a face now with some of you. Dave (Honey House) I saw some years ago when that big boy of his was just a day old. Wow he's grown!

And I with you Barry. I envisioned a short fat guy. Sort of fatherly, stern. Big bushy eyebrows.. with glasses. Wassup with that?

My beard photograph was me getting ready for a halloween party, I went as half man, half woman. Made a good looking woman by all accounts. There's male and female in all of us..

Dee B... er.. Troutsqueezer was the biggest surprise for me. What a nice benevolent, thoughtful looking gentleman.. not at all what I had envisioned!

Bjorn comes as no surprise for some reason. He reminds me of the father of a friend of mine when I was in high school. He scared me then, Bjorn scares me now :)

Nice to see some women showing up here. Come out of the closet! The rest of us are :0

jeese, so far there ain’t nobody that looks as though I thought they might have looked, except Mike Palmer because I’ve seen him in person already.

It snowed last week so now it’s too cold for me to go out and pose in front of the hives, but here’s a quickly taken indoor photo showing that I am a beekeeper.



Here’s another one when I had my 15 minutes of fame last year on the Associated Press.
