threadstomp!
i like the game i just played with quentin. so, if you had never met a b3tan or seen a pic, what would you imagine them to look like?

i would have imagined monty to be about 5'10 with short black hair and a toothbrush moustache.

hard to be more Wrong, really.

From what I've heard you couldn't even bruise the ringpiece of a 3 month old boy.
Hence why you're known as "Mr Doormouse cock".

I had Monty pretty much bang on
Lusty I was miles off, as I expected her to be older.

I'm fairly sure that I'd seen pictures of every other b3tan I knew I was going to meet.

I imagined Ape as having a beard, I'm not sure why.

you're definitely about 5'9
with curly dark hair and greenish eyes. and quite square hands.

wrong, wrong, right-ish, wrong
actually how does someone have square hands?

( Kroney, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:23, Reply)

you either have square palms or rectangular palms
and stubby fingers or long fingers

it's one of the tricks palm readers use; long palms and fingers are supposed to be more sensitive, artistic types, whereas square and stubby are practical mathematical folk.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:25, Reply)

Ok, mine are square
but i resent being labled as 5'9", i have another 6 inches on that
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:27, Reply)

haha i knew you'd sit and examine your palms
it's bollocks though. i have fairly square palms and quite long fingers, but i am shit at maths.

make it up! if you'd never seen the pictures, in a world where no fb existed.

you're so much younger than most, that i would picture an aled jones innocent type. whistling into his surplice.

As I've shown many times, I'm not the most imaginative
I will admit that I didn't expect Aber to be as Spanish as she is.

I'd imagine Chompy looks like a young David Brent

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:20, Reply)

A fat David Brent

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:22, Reply)

bash pics suggest
a not fat but distinctly lardy leering non-asian gok wan.

David Yelland but with hair.

I was so shocked at how young Monty looked I fell over and landed on Crow (4 broken ribs, poor thing). Was expecting a wizened white-haired old man of about 60.

I thought Al was the Laughing Cavalier!
That's another one. I was surprised at Al.

hahaha, he's one of the few people I've never seen in a bash pic

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:26, Reply)

they exist
they definitely exist
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:27, Reply)

Well unless they are easily accesible on the b3ta flickr* pool it's unlikely I'll have seen them

sorry about your eyes.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:33, Reply)

Ohhhh
THAT'S what Amberl looks like.

I made a big mistake at the October bash of not finding out what people looked like before entering the pub. I had a vague notion of looking for a Hawkwind tshirt and that was it. I am determined to be able to recognise the ciderbash attendees ahead of time.

By the way, I flicked through the other photos. The linked picture is not what I think Amberl looks like. This is not obvious from my post.
( Kroney, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:32, Reply)

nope
it is NOT clear from your post. in fact, your post is clear that you thought the pic was amberl.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:34, Reply)

Yeah, Amberl's in some of the preceding pictures to that one.

Sorry
I didn't mean to insinuate that I looked at a fat mess off the internet and immediately thought "Amberl! :D"

Because I didn't.

the problem is that some b3tans are quite good-looking
it confuses everyone else

I had the misfortune to first encounter
the normal-ish looking cool kids, who were keeping a respectable distance from the weirdos.
( Kroney, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:36, Reply)

The first one I met at a bash was BGB, whom I fortunately recognised from an old picture she had on her profile
Otherwise I'd have been wandering round for ages.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 21 Feb 2012, 14:38, Reply)

I wandered up to a table of likely looking people and said
"Hi, are you off the internet?" NOT my most suave of moments. Especially since they all looked at me blankly until Boss Keloid said "yes".

I honestly thought that MM wouldn't look so good IRL
But she did, and I was smitten.

I didn't see Stunned being that amiable - I thought he'd be the type of person you'd find on the web that's all gob behind the screen yet flimsy and weedy personality wise IRL. I was pleasantly surprised and tweaking his nipples within the hour of meeting him.

none of them looked how I'd imagined them to look

it seems to me that many of them do look like fat internet messess
