Here is also a picture from 93. The picture of my family in 95, we are wearing norwegian costumes from my area. the black was traditional sunday clothes. The newest picture was taken sunday, when I happened to by dressed up in what was the simpler or more everyday dress. Of course, these are not the normal dress in Norway. They have not been for around 100 years. anyway... The other girl in the pictures is my older sister.

We should compile a list of whose pictures are still missing. For captions without photos, see my thread on Scher in the games' section. She has a sweet little face like Strawberry Shortcake.

05-10-2006, 04:14 PM
I'm number one on that list. First, I have to contemplate whether or not I want the internet to know what I look like. And second, I would have to admit that I am computer retarded and would not know how to attach a picture here.

RJbibliophil
05-10-2006, 05:11 PM
There's instructions in here somewhere... or else you could check the forum on Lit Net, or just pm someone smart.

or, if uploading pics from your computer, first shrink them so they're small, then on advanced reply, go down below the message box and click on manage attachments. If you need more instructions, just ask. We want to see you!

grace86
05-10-2006, 05:26 PM

Mililalil XXIV
05-11-2006, 03:35 AM
Has Robin actually posted a photo? I saw comic book illustrations of Green Arrow. I think Xamonas requires examination, to determine if he lies to the camera or not. Scher needs to bust out and show up. If the Unnamable posted one, I didn't catch it. Who am I missing here? I think I missed Baddad, Papayahed, Admin, Jay, Basil, Nightshade, Adil, Riesa, Pensive, Emily, Samercury, Miss Tenderness and Bandini. There are others, both that have posted comments, but not photos, on this thread, and many that haven't left any trace upon this thread. I have left humble additions to my former semi-erstwhile residue. Has Woeful Painter left one?

Idril
05-11-2006, 08:06 AM
Can I make a suggestion? On a different forum I was on they had a photo album and the person who started the thread edited the thread on a regular basis, putting all the links to the photos on the first page so you didn't have to go trolling through the whole thread to find them. I'm sure it was a lot of work to get it put together but it was really nice to have them all there at your fingertips.

Pensive, do you really look like that little blue bird? Papayahed, what about you? I've seen Grover elsewhere, so you can't fool us all! I don't believe Jay has a tear permenantly embedded in her face, nor that Scher has those little horns - in fact, her avatar doesn't even properly record her freckles and red hair (and where's the plaid cabbages?). Come on, people, we're all tired and we all have a deadline. Who's out there in the cyber dark?

Try this:
http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showpost.php?p=171673&postcount=595

Once you are registered, go to "upload". It will provide two manners of uploading. For images already on my computer, I use the second feature, and, when the new screen comes up, hit "browse" to search your computer files from there. When you see the picture you want, simply double click it, and its file name will be on the blank beside the browse button. There is a buttuon below to hit for finishing that step. Then it shows the link for the image. Go below this to save it. (You may have to make and name a file on that site first). When it is saved, you can open the file, if it doesn't automatically do so for you. The latest thing saved is at the top of the list.

Hit the green cross by the image name, and features appear for resizing.

Check the box beside the image title you are dealing with, then hit the link to image links. It opens back to the link you originally saved. Copy this and paste it where you want your image on the forum.

Is it really supposed to be possible to get Ned Beatty, then Albert Einstein, then Bill Cosby?

Actually, I was joking. What I did get was the following:
You know the third picture at this location? http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showpost.php?p=172552&postcount=614 (The one about which Robin hinted something a bit, perhaps, elvish about? The site said it resembled Faye Dunaway. Most of the selections are pairs of a male and a female, with the one that is said to have the higher percentage shown. If you want to see the person of the other gender than is shown, there is a picture switching option between the two "lookalikes". I hadn't noticed this at first.

For a single photo, I was presented with Natalie Imbruglia as the closest match, and Bjorn Borg as the closest male match! They aren't exactly even 30% like each other!

I also was told I looked like Calista Flockhart! That really irked me, as some silly employee used to say I reminded him of her character on some stupid show I hated. But the same person used to stare at people, quietly singing to himself, and we always thought he was addressing us in low tones, and always asked him, "What?"

For one picture, I resembled Sean Bean (the actor that played Boromir in LOTR0, while, in another, almost identical photo, it was Billy Boyd (who played Pippin). Once I looked 68% like Hugh Grant, and also 66% like Chaka Khan! In one picture, I looked 68% like Liv Taylor (who played Arwen in LOTR), with no male match. When I first noticed the selection could be switched over to the next closest match from the other gender, I switched it over from Alanis Morissette to Jimi Hendrix! I was compared to several old, flat-faced men for photos in which I thought I looked better than some of those that were matched to young actresses.

Kilted, or whoever said it is right - that site's busted!

For about a third of my photos, it said there was no match.

Brigitte Bardot (70%),
Suzanne Vega (67%),
Jennifer Connelly (64%),
Neve Campbell and Isabella Rossellini (both 62%),
Lech Walesa (61%) - bingo!,

Maybe this thing is purity itself, like the heart of a blind man!

I'm starting to think that website is matching celebrities with the camera, not the subject.

Hullo my beautiful, sweet and fabulous little girls. I snuck in to give you faerie kisses and wishes for a perfect summer.
Remember, if you need me for anything you can email me.
hugs, love forever.
And I kept getting almost the same per cent over and over and over of Katherine Zeta Jones and Kate Winslet. Now they look nada alike! :confused:

Nice looking girls too. I'd wear a kilt if (assuming I was single) it would attract girls like that.

I prefer to think it is my dashing goods looks and wonderful wit that attracts them personally.....however then I see myself in a mirror or hear what I have just said and realise that in fact it must be the kilt. :cool:

Thought I'd do something interesting with my one thousandth post, so here's a pic of me with a bookcase lurking in the background for anyone who's ever wondered what an academic from Chicago looks like.:)

Peer pressure always wins out eventually . . . :lol:

Great photograph . . . . naturally nothing like I would have expected!

Don't worry. It's a wonderful thing . . . when you judge solely from people's words/avatars you end up with a really weird image of them in your head.

I guess the real shocker was you hair color . . . really don't know why . . . :lol:

No, it's not because you present such a scholarly image/persona, and we all know the stereotypical truth that blondes are dumb. It's a combination of those facts and the color of your avatar, maybe? :D

Upon inspection the academic from chicago looks much like an academic from anywhere else, but they do appear to be quite tall (either that or they have tiny bookcases).

Thanks. :)


and we all know the stereotypical truth that blondes are dumb.

Well, it's true I was reluctant to reveal the truth of my identity as a dumb blonde. I was doing such a good job of fooling everyone into thinking otherwise. Now, alas, they know the awful truth. :D


Oooh...pwetty!!

Thanks Robin. :blush: (though I do wonder if you've shape shifted into tweety bird for the moment :p )

:lol: There are three possibilities:
1. The city of broad shoulders is not a merely metaphorical nickname, and the inhabitants of Chi Town are of an unusually large size.

2. Tiny bookcases are the latest thing among the chic literary circles and you're just totally unaware of the fact for some reason.

3. The bookcase is in fact on the other side of the room and perspective makes things appear smaller.

I'll let you decide which is most likely.

Ok, I just did some very rough scaling and estimating to try to decipher the correct answer to this.

If 1 is correct then you are infact somewhere in the region of 2.44m in hieght (this was rough scaling my claim of accuracy here is plus/minus 40cm)

No 2, can not be correct due to the width of the books (I cant make out the titles, but I doubt they would be short enough to be that thin in the tiny bookcase.

#3 could well be correct but it is the least fun of the options, and is therefore disregarded.


Leading me to conclude that you are in fact 2.44m tall (8' 0.1") :lol:
