The Swimming Beard Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 How do you imagine other bzp members? I usually imagine them as their avatars, which can be akward for those who change their avatars often. Quote "I pitea the fool!"

Cederak Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The avatar sometimes comes into play when imagining a member, as does their signoff tag, and their sig. Between those three, I can typically get a rough idea of their interests and then match a general face to those sorts of interests. I guess I'm playing upon stereotypes a bit with that, but it's harmless, I assure you.-Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I rarely imagine someone basing on something which isn't really reality-based. However, avatars sometimes make me think about a member's overall interests and behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meiko Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I usually picture BZPower members by the image they set through there posts, so their attitude reflects my idea of who they are.

Peach 00 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I don't really imagine other BZPers - if I see pictures of them, I know what they look like, sure, but I just don't see a reason why, I guess. However, Aderia's saying of imagining them as storm-troopers is a humorous outlook. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...
