1. Top photo was taken while out ballroom dancing. Second one was taken by my sister. I was joking around at the time.
2. No, not the boy.
3. Not taken by self.
4. Am in no way a boy. Are you trying to get me to post proof? I've posted good enough proof in the past.
8. Nicole Kidman? I really must check this out. I've never been told this before now. But no, those are my eyes. Can't you tell that both photos are of the same person?
Ogged: It's only a nose and a mouth and a chin... no eyes, you have PG's eyes. You'll have to get the rest of the parts from someone else.
Chopper: Yes, it's my name, and of course I care. People have used it in vain. People have even claimed to be me. Hell, Google "Domineditrix" w/o the capital "E": That isn't me, either. [I am not and have never been "Queen Mu", nor been involved with Mondo 2000.]
OTOH, my name is no particular secret; the glory of being self-employed is that I don't have to worry about being outed to my employer. Unless, of course, I secretly suffer from MPD and am just waiting for someone to complain about my posting to blogs that revel in cock jokes so that I can unceremoniusly fire myself for violating the morals clause in my contract.
I meant "do you care" in the sense "care that others might see it and de-anonymize you." Some people post with a handle because they like the handle. Some post with a handle but only to make it a little harder for potential employers to decide that they're unsavory (guilty!), and others do so to protect their professional reps (LB, PG, etc.).
I merely wanted to make you aware that your cowl had slipped if your reason for using a handle was behind Door #3.
Chopper: I knew what you meant; I was being facetious. [So much for tone of pixel...]
Re: Handles: I'm in the former group: I use one because it amuses me; because I've used it since, oh, sometime around the latter portion of the Mesozoic era; and because it reflects the essential nature of my interaction with authors.
IMX, there is no plot deficiency that cannot be corrected by judicious use of a riding crop and handcuffs...
So who, or what is she looking at like that and why?

One suspects the picture was taken by The Boy.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 10:40 AM
I'll bet she took them herself. PG loves PG!
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 10:43 AM
Maybe PG is the Boy.

Ogged is going on a date with Sybil!
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 10:50 AM
Ummm.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 10:50 AM
The only answer to that is .... "Baasil!"
Posted by Austro | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 11:07 AM
So it's definitely Nicole Kidman in the first one, but who is it in the second one? Zellweger?
Posted by diddy | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 11:49 AM
From my reading of PG's post and the posts linked therein, those are PG's eyes. PG is teh hott.

Oy!

"Teh hott" means "hot" in the language on the shirt DE linked here.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:17 PM
Teh hott. I'm going to be really disappointed if I'm hipper than you.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:19 PM
DE, what do you wish to contribute?
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:19 PM

Does knowledge of 1337 make one "hip?" Somehow, I suspect not.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:21 PM
Really? Isn't IM-type the language of the hipster?
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:23 PM
I wouldn't know. I'm only exposed to it through my h4XX0r buddies. I only recently started IMing, and I'm lame neough that I IM in complete sentences.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:26 PM
Rule of thumb: Knowledge of a term whose example sentence contains 'laptop' does not make you hip.
Um, at the Mineshaft.

Two things, DE. 1. Is that you? 2. That's like, a whole face. Should I crop it for you?
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 4:37 PM
Is that your name? Do you care?

Chopper & Ogged: Thank you for the worrying, however.

"hott" is definitely a hipsterism.

Fuck. I hate hipsters.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 9:09 PM
Unfortunate, because this appears to make Ben a hipster.
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 05-18-05 9:16 PM
It's a coincidence.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:15 AM
I hate hipsters the way I hate hippies: I make exceptions for those with other redeeming qualities. Ben, you're teetering.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:36 AM
But I'm not a hipster. You don't need to make an exception.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:42 AM
He's a(n) hipster.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:43 AM
Ogged is banned!
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:45 AM
But not because he let the unpleasant truth slip out, or anything like that.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:47 AM
Ben, I currently have you classed as semi-hipster. I'm still trying to nail down if you have redeeming qualities.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 8:47 AM
For instance: have you ever made me a sandwich? No.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 9:59 AM
That's not true! I made you one last week. You never came by to take it, though, so I had to eat it.
It was good.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:00 AM
bw lives in a hipster part of town. And I'll bet he owns ironic t-shirts.
Posted by text | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:11 AM
Why is that a bad visual?
Posted by Austro | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:13 AM
Say it ain't so Ben.
Posted by Austro | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:13 AM
But he also likes grammar, so he can't be all bad. But probably at least 1/5 hipster. That's ok.
I live in that part of town too, but am disqualified from being a hipster, since I am a yuppie dick.
Posted by text | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:15 AM
I don't own any ironic t-shirts; in fact, I odiate them.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:18 AM
try washing occassionaly
Posted by Austro | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:20 AM
your odie ate them? Good for odie.

That's alway san uncomfortable topic with Austrians, isn't it?

*low whistle*

Oh, and have ever noticed how the whole damn world thinks Beethoven was Austrian Mr H. German? Thats some marketing firm we have.
Posted by Austro | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:57 AM
there is a "you" and an "and" missing in that.
Posted by Austro | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 10:58 AM
Yes yes, the Austrians have had it nearly as bad as the Serbs.
Posted by Chopper | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 11:03 AM
lol..wherea hereabouts, in the right bars, the serbs ARE the perpetrators only I fear Bosnia is not the issue.

Mineshaft?
Posted by washerdreyer | Link to this comment | 05-19-05 11:07 AM
"Zum Minenschacht"
"Knappen Bürschen"
But I see from your comment that, actually, that ARE should really have been a WERE. The tense is all wrong.
