Mr. Booey: What flirting? Mark S: I prefer the real pic to the icon.

Fine, fine. Have your fun on these sorts of topics. I won't bully you, I promise. Self-restraing makes the baby Jesus cry. As you were, kids. Get your flirt on.

What'd I tell you about the goatees, kids? Don't know. I wasn't listening.

Bob, that propriety-police thing is a real kill-joy.

Yuck. What'd I tell you about the goatees, kids? That Portrait Maker seems to be "what I'd want to look like if I weren't a mutant." Stop flirting. It's gross. That is all.

ok, so i messed around with the portrait maker thing. it was tough, since your only choices for facial hair are 1. a little shadow 2. goatee and 3. two ferrets glued to your face. anyway...here's the portrait with the goatee. i don't have a current picture for comparison, but i'm workin' on it. here's a picture from about five years ago when i was in the middle of growing my hair down to my lower back. currently, it's very short (which is why there's the spiky hair in the portrait)

Thanks, Natalie. Things like that are always nice to hear said. I second Indiana's would-be Senator, re: your photo: Al Barger: "the little icon thingy is mildly interesting, but your actual photo much more so. You appear to be a perfectly good looking woman ..."

There are plenty of pictures of me on my own website. I did put them there just to sate the curious reader's imagination, though I would rather people judge me on my writing than my looks.

Rats! Yeah, a lot of the faces are pretty darned generic-looking. Oh well then, you'll have to send a real pic.

I tried doing that a while ago. None of the icons looked a thing like me.

Interesting. I tried to do the icon thingy. Difficult. I will try again after my morning coffee and cigar. That usually helps.

Miss Natalie, the little icon thingy is mildly interesting, but your actual photo much more so. You appear to be a perfectly good looking woman- who has also peaked our interests through the pure force of personality. Please favor us with more and bigger photos. Thanks.
