Photos of YOU

Okay..let's see if I can do this.This is me and my girlfriend..I'm on the right,with the groovy green eyeshadow.

Brandi

I don't know how to post a picture - I tried copy and paste but it won't work.

Joanna, good question, how do you get pictures in here?

Bnsifter, very sexy if you don't mind me saying so. Very cute indeed!

You can only display a picture which is currently hosted somewhere on the internet...if you're simply 'copy and pasting' from your local hard drive, then it won't work.

You'll need to find an image-hosting website (but not Yahoo!, as they don't always seem to work on here) which will host your photos so that you can link to them...I'm sure that someone will be able to give you some good suggestions...I've not yet found one that I trust!

Well,I did it the same way I got my avatar to FINALLY work.I followed the advice of going to picturetrail.com and uploading the photo there..then copying it's URL.Then all I did was click on "Image" on this page under Instant UBB Code and pasted the URL there.And voila! There was my photo.Hope that helps.

Brandi

Oh,and no I don't mind you saying so Arlington.Thank you.

picturetrail page

Well, I tried what bsnifter did to upload my pic. Let's see if it worked!
Wendi

Der. Let's try this again... happy, happy, happy... everybody's happy...

phototrail page
Well &%$@. That one didn't work. I guess I'll just post a link for a different picture. It's from Halloween this year. Me and m'friend Brent dressed as Austin and Vanessa from the first Austin Powers movie. Rock on!

Ah ok, well i'll try to get a pic up on picturepoll or something like that. Until then i'll be out to buy the Split Enz DVD!!! WOO HOO!

PS: My pleasure, Brandi.

hey...well, here is a picture of me just going about my daily business. I wasnt aware it was being taken so my trademark 'million dollar' grin wasnt on display. But it is a good example of pristine personal grooming.



Donovan!

Or simply an example that Elvis is not dead, he's merely lost some weight and grown a beard...

more photos of you!! *sniff*

pleeeeaaaase! how do you look like?

Silke

Well at the risk of frightening most of you away (except Donovan of course ), I'll post my ugly mug.. Here ya go.



:edit: BTW Brandi - I have to smile just looking at your smile. Great pic, thanks for sharing it.

ok.... it's one thing to have a go at me about posting 'crap' on the forum....but it's another bag of roasted cashews soaked in sweet sweet smooth caramel to pay me out about my appearance.

Just because i have little or no regard to any of you're feelings doesnt mean I should have to be ridiculed on a forum for posting a picture of myself in good faith.... just trying to be nice and participate in a place I considered to be family (in a way that's not really family but people on a computer i dont know)....and then just have shallow superficial comments based on my looks.

it hurts.

Donovan.

Donovan, I hope you weren't talking about me? I meant nothing of the sort about your looks. I just meant that you're thick skinned enough not to have anything phase you..

I think it's just fine that site posted your Vegas pic in their "mullets galore" forum - or that's at least where I see the link for your pic pointing to.

More power to ya, man.

Donovan, I don't believe that anyone was knocking the way you look. I think they were light-hearted comments which made reference to the fact that that (a) you had a beard and (b) that you were not the sort of person to be scared off by anything, based on reading your previous tenacious style of posting on this board over the years.

However, hypocrtitical comments like this one of yours..

..are likely to take credibility away from any points you try to make on here. People who see you being offhand and deliberately trying to provoke an argument will, in turn, be less likely to consider your feelings when it comes to any discussion involving you in public. If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

However. All comments on here should be respectful and any personal bashing will be deleted by one of us Moderators. If you have a personal gripe with someone, get it onto email or PM and discuss it with them privately.

Um... Anselm is right of course, but I don't think that's a picture of Donovan... and I suspect that his second posting, maybe made ambiguous by its lack of emoticons, is meant in good humour...

Paul.

That may be true, but I can only moderate on what I can see. Donovan's post was one of someone who was offended so naturally I would take note of it. There may be only one Donovan but there are 1500+ others on here besides him...no allowances made for anyone, regardless how sarcastic or ambiguous their posts are.

Thanks Geddy..I'm always smiling that way when I'm around her..she just has that effect on me.Your picture is cool as well..not an "ugly mug" at all.

Brandi

This is me sweetie.

Kill Eye - Is that Ab Fab?

Brandi, thanks for humoring me.

No it's me, darling.

Nice try

I'm a fabulous wonderful individual.

That's evident! Totally cool avatar too!

Anyone else gonna post their pic?

OKay, here's me, age 9 in 1977...



What can I say? Once a player always a player! LOL.

Yay! More people are posting their pics..I thought I was going to have to start posting more of me.

Brandi

I thought I was going to have to start posting more of me.

I'm for one DEFINITELY in favour of that, Brandi

Alright...if I must.....


Although I was really tempted to use this pic:

Okay..I guess this one is kind of similar,but it's either this..or me in a paper robot mask (don't ask) This time I'm on the left..hope it'll do Arlington

I'd wack a photo of me in here, but i really don't wanna make the other fellas in the forum feel inferior.

Aw c'mon SSP, don't you have a more up to date pic then of 9 yrs old?

Although you were a player. could lead to another thread - the young ones pics!

Well out of all fairness, I know I should post my pic, but I can't find a site that hosts this type of thing!!! Someone help!

PS: Very nice, Brandi

I want to post some pictures..I'll have to mess about with it later and see if I can get it to work. I don't have many good pics though.

All my photos are hosted on Yahoo so... um sorry

(actually given what I look like you should all thank your lucky stars)

heheheheheeeeeee

I finally thought of a place that actually has a picture of me. My friend Vanessa has an account at snapfish. Here is a link to one of them. A group happy hour picture. I think the link should work:


picture

p.s. I'm the "fuzzy" blond...

p.s.s. Brandi, I would kill for your beautiful teeth!!

Thanks Jenn..I think that's the first time someone's actually complimented me on my teeth.I've always thought my mouth was too big..but it's never stopped me from smiling.

Brandi

BTW,your link works.Nice picture..you all look really happy,and it even has the names so no guessing which one is you.

Thanks Brandi, we're a pretty happy bunch, even when we are not drinking - I swear!!

Try Photo Island for free pic hosting. You can also whack the pic straight into your post.

Thanks for the link Alison..now Arlington doesn't have any more excuses.
I like both your pictures,but uh..who,or should I say what is in the smaller one?

Brandi

Thanks, Alison for the link, very useful and user-friendly. You can view my pic at:

[URL=http://arctic.photoisland.com/servlet/com.arcsoft.UtilMain?com=arcsoftUtil&jobtype=zlargeview3&c2simple_next=largeview3mbr.html&newpict=16173333&goNext=/photosharing/albuminde x.html?]My pic[/URL]

Although after seeing what i look like, you will realise it wasn't worth the visit

Let me try that link again.

http://arctic.photoisland.com/servlet/com.arcsoft.UtilM...aring/albumindex.htm l?

Well,I tried to view your picture Arlington..and the site told me I need your username and password to see it.So I guess you're still a mystery.

Brandi

this was taken in june at 4 mile beach in santa cruz, CA. the girl in the frame with the pig tails is my former housemate lauren.

tadaa

this is me in Adelaide in 1999 . . .

here's me on my recent holiday down at the beach. (I'm not in a bad mood the sun was in my eyes!) well anyway I hope this works...

here goes....

My God, Brandi has sexy eyes. (Oops, better not say that too loud, my girlfriend may be listening, heh heh heh!)

Lets try again:
[IMG]http://arctic.photoisland.com/servlet/com.arcsoft.UtilMain?com=arcsoftUtil&jobtype=zlargeview3&c2simple_next=largeview3mbr.html&newpict=16173333&goNext=/photosharing/albuminde x.htm l?[/IMG]

Alright so it won't work as a weblink or won't even take the picture directly from the page, what's going on?

Thanks for the compliment Gav,and no worries..I don't think she heard you.
Arlington..have you tried picturetrail? I don't know why the other site doesn't work.

Brandi

Arlington...what you've gotta do is: find your photo in the album and click on it. It should be the only photo on your screen. Now down the bottom left hand corner is a bit that says "link for auction". Click this. It will open a new window with the url for the photo...copy it & paste into your post using the image button below the posting area. Clear as mud?

Oh BTW, Brandi...my little pic is Lady Penelope from The Thunderbirds. If you're a sixties baby (like me) you'll remember them. But if you're (a) young (& I think you are ) or (b) American or (c) all of the above, then you probably have no hope of remembering them.

OK, let's give this a try.

For some reason the pictures are really fuzzy! I hope it works OK.

I think I look like the description for my "CYBORG" name in these pictures!

In case you can't tell through the FUZZ - the last one is me and Neil!

Ok, I think we're in business. Try Clicking This:

http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/auction/Dec/20021234454105939832987.jpg

Thank-you again, Alison!

Joanna, I have that same CH t-shirt from that first US tour! So cool to see another one!

Glad to see some more member pics too

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Okay, this is me with my fiancee last winter.

Your fault, guys, you wanted to see it...

Alright, I really wish I had a different photo to put on here, but my scanner doesnt work anymore so this is gonna have to be it...me looking kind of queasy

Very nice Arlington..cute hair indeed

Alison..yes,I'm American,but I'm not sure about the young part.I turned 30 this year.Ahhhh! But thanks for explaining who that was..you're right,I had NO idea.At first glance it looks like a Barbie doll after rehab.

Brandi

Ok, I'll try this... click here

Thanks, Brandi. I didn' think i'd be worth the visit.

You're all looking so sweet!!! *Even* you Balthasar, you and you're fianc�e fit together perfectly!
Arlington, you are cute, really!

I need to find some older pix of me somewhere on my PC... hang on... brb

Arlington..you're welcome,and you were worth the visit.No worries there. Are those your paintings and sketches behind you?

Brandi

Hey Joanna, I don't think your pictures look "fuzzy" at all, did you see mine?

I guess if I want a better picture next time I get pictures developed I'll have to go through Snapfish too. I need to get hip with all the modern devices, I'm so far behind! Oh well.....

More pictures please! This is so fun, I love seeing what people look like!!

Okay so the only pics of me which are on the web right now are on my husband's delphiforums site...

um I hope this works



and another (yah, gothic little me)

You're hair looks marvellous!

https://www.frenzforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=ge...f=13&t=000767#000001

Thats an explanation of my photo, Brandi. Sorry, posted it as a separate discussion. As B.Spears would say, oops I did it again.

Haha,thanks Arlington..you play around with Photoshop too?I use it all the time..but never for anything really productive..

Brandi

Brandi check your PM

me in september hanging out on a playground with my roomie

Aaaarghhhh! Why is everyone so young??

Why the big grin? Amsterdam 2000

In London 2001

I couldn't work out how to do it so that my pic would come up on this post.
However, if you still want to see me, have a geez at this

Gemini... I followed the link, went away and allowed it to download (okay so I have WAY slow dial-up) and came back and...

Gosh - you are amazing. You're lovely.

Don't you dare take that picture down! (I say this as a happily married heterosexual girl, I might add... ) You have a wonderful smile, and lovely skin... AND I could go on but I'd sound kinda creepy so I'll just say you're a STUNNER girl... you go!

I'd love to post, but no pics of me live anywhere on the 'net! Joanna - if I sent you a photo, would be able to post?

Argh...

Everyone looks lovely, though. It's neat to put a face to the name (or nickname)!

Have a great day!
Anne

PS - Missing Person - you are a dead ringer for my husband's best friend Allen!! Spooky!

Wait - I found a photo on an internal site for my company - let's see if this works....


Yea! This was taken at my Bachlorette party the night before I got married in March of 2001 (and taken before too many cocktails, I might add, although there is a rose in my cheeks!). My hair is much shorter now, but you get the idea....

Anne Francis

Anne - and we both live in Seattle . . . very spooky indeed. Maybe one day I'll bump into my very own doppelganger . . .that would be cool.

Well, hoepfully, we'll run into each other before the Seattle show in February! And Allen lives in Cincinnati, so unless you are there, you're safe from Dopplegangerland!

actually I now have longer hair and a beard so we probably don't resemble each other so much. will no doubt see you in Feb at the Showbox (shame Neil isn't playing the Moore Theatre - that would be cool).

Arghhhhh! struggling to get any pictures on here but anyway......I have a website at

http://www14.brinkster.com/levodopa
if anyones interested

Okay, against my better judgement, the only pictures of me that I know of on the web can be found by typing "mac charles" in your search box. If "forever and a day" comes up in the description line, click on that and you should get a look at my ugly mug.

Okay, okay. I admit that by posting the nine year old me, I was onlly playing the game, half-assed.

Here's my hubby's favorite picture of me (wonder why? LOL)

It was taken in Vancouver in 2000:



BTW, Chester, which one is you?

WOW! SSP, that's now MY favorite picture of you too!

Nothin "half-assed" about that pic! Thanks for sharing!

Im James in all the photos (surprisingly), Chester Kruse is a nickname...
This is an interesting thread hey!!
http://www14.brinkster.com/levodopa

TFF! Thanks James. I suppose I coulda figgered it out, but I decided to ask 'cos it was easier...

Now you've got me reeeeally curious about that Amsterdam shot that's not showing up. Hmmm... LOL.

Thanks Geddy for the vote of support. Your picture is pretty cute, too ya know.

love.

jester and chester -
okay. now that's funny.

so i see from your pics you are both musicians.

jester - none of the music links on the acoustic brownbag link for mac charles was working and now i'm kinda dying to hear your stuff. does it exist anywhere else?

and chester - you were playing the guitar in one of your photos there. do you have any webbased tunes? i think i recall you e-mailed me saying you listened to a couple of mine. so now i'm curious to hear these other musicians on this forum!
-lynn

Trying to work out how to post my pic from photo island but it keeps only putting the URL up, not the actual picture. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Fingers crossed this works, if not, back to square one.

YAY.......okay, explanation now. The above photo was taken in my garden on Fathers Day 2002. That's my son Liam (NOT named after Liam Finn surprisingly enough). And now hopefully my avatar will work too...........

Hey LikeRain....yep another gigging singer songwriter...... recording some stuff now so will post it somewhere when its done....and yep I did go to your site and loved your songs.....
CK

like rain:
Iv'e had a lot of complaints about being scarce on the net,as for that acoustic brownbag show,I don't know why it's not working. that's okay though because I never liked that show anyway, I wasn't quite awake for that one. unfortunately a lot of people booted it and passed it around.blech!

I wish I had a faster connection so as to hear everyones music properly.

Overall, it has become clear to me that we, "the Frenz" are a very handsome bunch, a group of unique, cosmopolitan and actually very "presentable" fans any music group should be very proud to have! That said, get ready, because here comes an onslaught of my unsolicited opinions about all the piccies on this thread, so far!

Here goes:

Silke – You give the impression of being a VERY good friend. And cute, too!! My favorite is the pic of you at the playground.

Brandi – not that I need to point it out again, but wow what a smile! Your friend in the pic seems COOL ASS, too. Love her smile and the great silly wink. No wonder you smile so big and so genuinely around her!

Prplmeanie - That costume ROCKS! We should all look so good in silver mini dresses and go-go boots! (Including Geddy! LOL.)

Donovan, your fanciful ‘do’ is just divine! I think Anslem is just jealous. He must suffer from frequent “bad hair days,” I guess. LOL. Kidding, Anslem! (also trying to goad a picture out of you!!)

Geddy, you have kind eyes and a pretty mouth. (Is it P.C. to say that a man’s mouth is pretty?)

Kill Eye, smooches to you, darling. Thanks for sharing! *kisses *

As for me, I like the "pre-rack" me best. I looked smarter then, didn't I? Let’s face it we were all cooler at nine, weren’t we?

Alison, another pretty smile! Who’s the bloke, BTW? (Or have we already established that?) I remember seeing that TV show with the “steroid Barbie” too! Hee hee.

Jenn: no fair! I always wanted to be a dazzling blondie with a perfect smile who looks good even in fuzzy pictures!! It seems to me that your teeth can hold their own, even compared with brandi’s beautiful choppers… Also, it seems you picked out the perfect avatar to describe yourself, given the choices provided.

Arlington… that first link is “expired.” Bastards. Even picturetrail has now started requiring money… therefore all my piccies are soon to disappear! Oh well, no great loss.

Mabelle- You are a cutie-patootie. No other way to describe it. Cute smile, pretty toes, ooh, and a bit of leg, even! You go girl! Hee hee.

Missing Person: Might I say that your mouth is also quite pretty? LOL. I’ve been to Adelaide, too!! What brought you there from Seattle? Inquiring minds want to know!

Sacredcow: That’s not a bad picture, really. I can see that you have cute dimples on your cheeks and nice thick, long hair. The way you’re balanced in front of the water would make me want to toss you in, though, to see if I could get a laugh or a smile out of you.

Joanna: You have what I like to describe as “sunshine face.” No CYBORG at all!!! My best friend from school had that kind of sweetness about her. Also, how cool to have such a nice shot of you and Neil!!!

Arlington: OMG what a sweet baby face you’ve got! I’m sure the girls go gaga over you!

Dorthonion: Yeah!!! That’s really cute! Each of you seems like a “good catch!” I like your haircut, too, BTW: just enough curl up top without looking like Tim in the Never Ceases to Amaze Me video. Hee hee.

Belle: Bummer! All I’m gettin’ is the little red X and a “Remote Linking Forbidden.” The Funky Evilness thing is kinda fun, though. And you picked a cute AV… so good on you, anyway!

Speaking of Avs, Brandi… is that a Chicken McNugget, or what? LOL.

Kia: Again, I’m amazed at how MUCH the first pic you posted looks like your avatar! Same “chin up,” classy features and attitude. Kewl! But your second picture is even better, because it is so natural looking…shows off your pretty blue eyes and wavy hair. And, oh yeah, “nice tat!”

Gemini: I’m with Kia! You have a very “Laura Ingalls” wholesome beauty! Cheers and another glass of champers to you! LOL.

Anne: Look at that! Another beauty! A bachelorette party, huh? Come to think of it I CAN see that very healthy rose in your cheeks… and is that a devilish gleam in your eye? LOL.

Chester and Jester… I had fun surfing up those pics of you two. Suddenly… now and forever!…the two of you will always be linked in my mind.

HINT: Go to likerain’s profile and you can surf onto a couple of pics of her, too. Quite a lovely musician.

Houser: VERY cool avatar, and I did get a look at that sweet pic of you and your son before it turned into a little red X. Quite charming!

Alright now, let's see everybody else!!

I am particularly curious about:

stepinmyshoes, Anslem, suenotsusan, Error Gorilla, Secret:God, grace0418, Caledonia, Pet Eunuch, Betty, Siren, Paul_G, Jaffaman, boarderGurl, kaysee, JuddFinn, blueballoon and of course the REAL Donovan!!!

Give us a look, eh?

Oh thank you so much

Yeah, Jaffaman, are you shy to post a picture of yourself?

For the girls:
There actually is a Jeremy Ansell aka Jaffaman fanclub at Yahoo because we think he's sooooooooo cute! Oh er.. and nice as well

Wow! I have a �sunshine face"??

You are too sweet! Now I know why you choose your name, Sweet Secret Peace.

Er, thanks Sweet Secret Peace for all the kind words!

I second Joanna on the description of you as "Sweet"!

And, as a blonde speaking to a blonde, I got a look at your picture - you are looking darn good there yourself!!

I second the notion that we got a lot of good looking people here, wow!

a pretty mouth?

SSP - I come *from* Adelaide originally, now live in Seattle. So I just happened to be in Adelaide cos I lived there at the time What brought me to Seattle? . . . thats a long and fascinating story . . .

btw - your avatar is the best . . .

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/officialjeremyansellfanclub/

Ok, I'm going to give this a try.....

Well, THAT didn't work...... :/

Me in the Sierras

Ok, well it KINDA worked! That's actually the link to see all the pics I posted there, which is OK. YAY...it finally worked! I'm working on a web page. I'll post the URL to that when I'm done. Or maybe I'll even post it while it's still under construction.

BTW, Arlington.....I LOVE the crayon TIE Fighters on your wall in the background!

SSP, I don't think there is anything wrong with saying that geddy and MissingPerson have "pretty mouths" BUT it does make me think of the movie Deliverance which is not a good connotation, it you know what I mean!!
(No offense to geddy and MissingPerson whom are both cute by the way)

SSP, PC or not PC- No one has ever said either of those to me before, so I'll Thank you, then take the compliments and run with them!!

I'll forgive ya the go go boots comment, although I feel a nightmare coming on tonight

:Edit: Jenn, Thank you too. And no, I wasn't offended by the "pretty mouth" remark, but if it had been spelled "purty mouth" instead, and heard the banjo - that'd be another story! You'd see me running away for a totally different reason!

More Pics Please!!!!

SSP and Jenn - thanks for the compliments and no, I don't have any problem with having a pretty mouth Have to say I've never had anyone say that before though. SSP - do you have a mouth fetish or something?

Thanks Sweet Secret Peace..the woman in the first picture is my girlfriend and the second is my best friend.I usually smile myself silly around both of them (but for different reasons )
And yes,my avatar is a Chicken Mcnugget..haha.The only reason is because at one point my friend and I had photoshopped her ex-husband's face onto it,so I thought the original would be cool to use.Yes,we have too much time on our hands.

Brandi

BTW..I love all the pictures too..keep 'em coming!

That's me, second from the right in the green shirt.

Jaffa (and I've just seen your posts, Silke. I will have my revenge! )

Because you're so mean - generally!

xxSilke

PS: Show off

awwwww thanks ssp. I swear that the sun was in my eyes! ok, ok here another one for ya! I can smile...

(I'd just won the backyard badminton competition. I slogged 'em all...+ I played for the school's B grade team the year before so i had the skills!)

Here's a pic of me being arrested. It was taken during an outside street party by a fellow co-worker. It was a good party other than that!



P.S. - The public intox charge was dropped, all is fine.

This is my striking my Ryan Adams pose

urgh double post

Ha ha... Very nice.

Is that from 101 things to do with a dead cat? Thats terrible!

Pic time!!!!

I'll post an older one of my brother and I. I'm the hoser on the right.

locked out:yeeaaahahaha!!!been there,done that!

Here we go...me at the drums at a Beatworld gig.

Thanks everybody for not choosing to ignore my long-ass post! (I get that a lot... hee hee.) And also for saying I'm sweet... *blush* Also, in case some of you are now thinking that I have no life, rest-assured that what you are experiencing is actually �the slow season� in my business, and since I�m my own boss I get to spend as much time on the Frenz board as I want. So there.

Well �la de da!� you mean one of the Frenz is actually famous enough to have a SUB-fan club? LOL. Dude, you�re gonna have to post a better pic, cause I ain�t joinin� your fan club until after I decide if you�re cute enough! Plus, I agree with Silke you are a big ole braggart and a show off!!! * green with envy* (I'll forgive you, though, if you tell me you stuck out your foot and sent old "Holmer" flying across the floor for botching up the Enz anniversary webcast like he did�) Heh heh.

Hey Jenn�OMG, I must've missed that "purty mouth" line in Deliverance! Scaaaary! (Don�t worry Geddy I promise I would never tell you to squeal like a pig!!) Hey, I just noticed you�re a MinnesOtan! I�m originally from Wisconsin, so we�re practically neighbors, don�cha�know! Have some lutefisk for me this Christmas! *plugging nose*

Missing Person� I was an AFS exchange student to Adelaide in 1984. I lived in a suburb called �Paradise.� (Cool name, or what?!) When we�re all waiting in line in Seattle for a long ass time you can tell me and boarderGurl and all the rest of us the story behind your long distance move! Oh, and thanks for noticing my cute AV! I actually found it online somewhere�so I can�t take credit except for choosing it. Oh. And, yes, I suppose I do qualify as having a "mouth fetish" assuming such a thing exists outside of Deliverance. LOL.

Originally posted by boarderGurl: [qb] BTW, Arlington.....I LOVE the crayon TIE Fighters on your wall in the background! [/qb]

HELL yeah! Hey, I like that: "Crayon TIE Fighters"... that would make a pretty good band name! Man, gurl, do those mountainy shots make me jealous! I�m stuck living in this flat, humid, petroleum-addicted concrete jungle for now� but I�ll be up your way SOON!! (We�re still on for that �aging groupie� thing, right? LOL.)

Brandi: forreal I thought those two were the same friend; just making different faces for the camera. So you have a girlfriend and a girlfriend, huh? This is saucy news, for sure! LOL. I suppose now all those guys who've looked at your gorgeous pics and fantasized about waking up next to you are now fantasizing about waking up between you and your girlfriend! Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more. (Except maybe this: Good on you girl! And: She is one lucky girlfriend! That sort of thing. )

Sacred Cow: I knew it! Congrats on kickin' ass at the badminton thingie!! LOL.

Locked Out: ROFLMAO! That's a great picture!!

Pet Eunuch: Okay, now you really need to post a picture of yourself...if only to prove you're not a *ahem* pussy.

Dr Thirsty: Hey, nice touque, eh?

Beatworld: Cool!!

Cheers, all. This is really fun! Thanks so much for sharing who you are!

Juicy juicy news indeed...haha,but thanks again for the compliments Sweet Secret Peace..and yes,the beautiful brown eyed woman in the first picture is my girlfriend girlfriend.But I'm the lucky one to have her..sometimes I don't know what I did to deserve her,she truly is the other half to my whole. Okay..I'm done being sappy now.Come on,who's next?Who's the next brave soul to share a photo?

Brandi

Hey ive got an idea ill use this thread to promote my musical project


Left Hand Does
This was going to be the cover of the EP we're working on but we decided jean (right) was too much a victim of the wide angle lense.

(And yes we're tears for fears fans)

(Aging Groupie) In fact, I've just purchased my Seattle tickets, so I have tickets to all THREE shows now!!! YIPPEEEEE!!! Let me know when you want to meet up in the Emerald City!

LOL! Ya, fer sure!

Actually, Christimas Eve we are having Lasagna and I might make Heidi's Cheese Ball receipe.
Christmas day I'm not sure, have not had a Lutefisk warning yet so it will probably be something like ham....I've only eaten Lutefisk once in my whole life though, not a favorite of mine!

<---ex-Californian

Dude,
like.....what's Lutefisk?!?!

SYLLABICATION: lu�te�fisk

PRONUNCIATION: lt-fsk

VARIANT FORMS: also lut�fisk ( ltfsk)

NOUN: A traditional Scandinavian dish prepared
by soaking air-dried cod in a lye solution
for several weeks before skinning, boning, and boiling it, a process that gives the dish
its characteristic gelatinous consistency.
ETYMOLOGY: Norwegian : lut, lye (from Swedish,
from Old Norse laudhr, soap, foam; see leu()- in Appendix I) + fisk, fish (from Old Norse fiskr).

MMMMMM, sounds good huh?!!!!

Sorry,couldn't resist adding this.
So many of my Christmases were taken
up with this lovely carol, brings
a tear to my eye!!


"O LUTEFISK"
[May be sung to the tune of 'O Tannunbaum]

Lutefisk... 0 Lutefisk... how fragrant your aroma
0 Lutefisk... 0 Lutefisk... You put me, in a coma
You smell so strong... You look like glue
You taste yust like an overshoe
Put Lutefisk ... come Saturday
I tink I'll eat you anyway.
Lutefisk ... 0 Lutefisk ... I put you by the doorway
I vanted you to ripen up ... yust like dey do in Norway
A dog came by and sprinkled you ... I hit him vit an army shoe
0 Lutefisk ... now I suppose
I'll eat you as I hold my nose.

Lutefisk ... 0 Lutefisk ... how well I do remember
On Christmas Eve how we'd receive ... our big treat of December
It vasn't turkey or fried ham ... it vasn't even pickled spam
My mudder knew dere vas no risk ...
In serving buttered lutefisk.

Lutefisk ... 0 Lutefisk ... now everyone discovers
Dat Lutefisk and lefse makes-Norweigians better lovers
Now all da vorld can have a ball ... you're better dan dat Yeritol
0 Lutefisk ... vit brennevin
You make me feel like Errol Flynn.

Lutefisk ... O lutefisk ... You have a special flavor
Lutefisk ... O lutefisk ... All good Norwegians savor.
That slimy slab we know so well ... Identified by ghastky smell
Lutefisk ... O lutefisk ... Our loyalty won't waver.

Actually, it does bring back fond memories of my grandparents, I miss them...

Hey, you can wash anything down with Glog.

I still have no picture of me to post. Sorry.

Sounds a bit like some of the offerings on the breakfast menu when I visited Norway this year ..............

You'll never catch me eating anything called "lutefisk"



Sounds revolting.

...and me either, since I've actually shredded and threw all of mine a couple of years ago (apologies to my mates and a few famous people like Mr Aspinall who had to be shredded along with me). Good to see more of you, tho.

ROFL!! Man, you can learn a lot on this board! THanks for the lyrics, Jenn! CUUUUte song!

Happy (if stinky) Christmas, everybody!!

P.S. MUCH better, Pet Eunuch! ~edit: Wait--the picture ain't loading for me. Bummer! Try again PetU!~

P.P.S. Everybody else, quit makin' excuses!! Get 'em up here! C'mon!!!

Sorry for getting off topic...

re: Lutefisk

I tried this one Christmas at my now-ex-boyfriend�s family's house.

It wasn�t as bad as I thought. My mother�s family is from Newfoundland and salt cod is a traditional food there (it used to be the foundation of the whole economy of Newfoundland) so it reminds me of that quite a bit.

Of course, the Newfoundland salt cod is not soaked in lye, so maybe that makes it a bit more palatable and less gelatinous than lutefisk.

Salt cod is also popular in Portuguese and Italian cuisine (known as bacalhau or baccala) and I think some Caribbean cultures too.

A tad more recent (from this summer when I was on sabbatical, and I could grow a beard):



And me after that time I was dead for 4 weeks, and then I came back as a zombie, and I wanted to eat brains, but I couldn't really find any on the FrenzForum.

OK. I'm not gonna toy with you. When I'm on the computer, this is how I really look. It's not a pretty sight.

Classic Dr.!

Wow Jenn.......you know your stuff! Thanks for the definition: I think I know EXACTLY what to think about lutefisk! And the song was GREAT!!! It'll be in my head for the next 2 weeks!

Bordergirl,
SORRY it took so long to get back to you. The paintings are actually drawn by my cousin, he's very young and talented, i'm considered the author of the family while he remains as our well read artist. Hope this clears some things up.

I found a far more recent picture of me on the web...it's a photo of me and the hubby with a friend's baby Clara...the photo won't link up, so here's the link.

Auntie Anne and Craig on the web

Notice I am quite inept at holding said baby....and how the caption mentions my Dad always giving Clara beer. We're a strange bunch, my family...

Sweet Secret Peace - thanks for the compliment! You are a sweetie - glad you're making the trek to the NW for the concerts in February.

Hey, Anne:

I see three cuties in that picture!

Hey Arlington don't worry.....I'm still here!!! We think that would make a great band name: Crayon TIE Fighters!!

Oh, and hey guys, I just remembered I made a temporary web-site for my sports endeavors......check it out here! My Sports Site

Alright drT! YOu are now officially on my list of favorite Canucks. (What a bunch of goof-balls you Canadians are!) I love it!!

Cute again, Anne! Will Miss Clara be joining us at the show? LOL. Hope to see you there, anyway! NOw I know who to look for! Hee hee.

bG Well, I checked it out, but I'm still pretty much of a "dyed in the wool chicken" where team sports are concerned. You, however, GO gurl!!

More PICS Please! Get Motivated!

:edit: Whoo Hoo Page 5 Frenz!

I guess that I should post a serious one for a change.

Here's one of me and my better half:

you're a lucky Dr..

Thanks, SSP! Aren't you living up to the Sweetness of your name!

I must clarify for everyone who looked at the Auntie Anne pic - Miss Clara is not my baby. She lives in Austin, Texas and belongs to my friends Nancy and Rodney - Don't make me a mother before my time I thought it would be obvious that I am the least likely to have a baby - look at how I am holding her in the picture! Awkward City!

However, if Miss Clara were in Seattle, I am sure she would join us - she's quite the concert-goer. She's already seen Brave Combo 3 times (if you don't know who Brave Combo is - they are only the hardest working Polka band in the world)

Dr. Thirsty - nice pic - what a handsome couple you two make (although I am fond of the previous zombie photo myself! Does your other half know about that side of you?)

Anne

Anne[/qb]

Yeah. And she still married me in spite of it all. She truly is special.

/Valerie sobs in frustration at not having the technology to be able to post the pics from the July Chicago concert...

I have a scanner, but the cord is lost.

Hey, maybe Santa will bring me a digital camera for Christmas! I've been very, very good this year! Well...

vch

The only photo of me i have scanned at the moment is one of me in a towel..rather low sitting..towel.. it was taken by my finacee like the day i got home from a tour i did with my band, want me to post it?? LOL!! I can't be blamed for eye sight problems if you do!

Cheers

Okay..here's me in my "serious" mode.My friend was taking a series of "emotion" pictures and I got chosen to be the subject.

you look like Buffy VS

me and my sisters in our garden... quite a while back though


one of my sisters and me with my baby brother. he was so tiny.. hell, he's 15 now!!! so i was about 7 on that photo...

Buffy huh? I don't see it..but thanks,I'll take that as a compliment. And I love your childhood pictures Silke..you guys looks like you had a blast growing up together.

Brandi

Brandi, While I'm not a Buffy watcher, I can see it.. You actually look like someone just said "Neil cancelled his Washington DC date".

Silke, I agree it does look like a fun childhood.

If I can get the time after the holidays, I'll see if I can dig up some old pics of me - from back when there was hair!

Geddy - Yeh,that's pretty much the expression I'd have if that happened..which it BETTER not BTW.Thankfully Neil usually sells out the 9.30 Club,so I don't have to worry about cancellation due to poor ticket sales..so right now all is good. And I've never been told I look like Buffy before..or anyone famous for that matter.Cool beans!

Brandi

from a year ago at a wedding...



and a few gin and tonics later...



didn't work?!! oh well...

Ok here's a photo of me... if it works, its a really bad photo but its the only one i got on the comp, i was being a loser in it an strutin a pose (seriously that's not like me LOL!!!) ok, here goes..................

no fun childhood actually but we're posers

hey bedlamite - meow!

Bring it on baby!!

You think thats good! U should see what i cropped out!! LOL!!! jk, there is a towel in the part that i cropped out, but hey, let ur imagination go wherever!! LOL!!!!!

Cheers

Yikes!!!!

Some of us are married women, Ben!

Bedlamite by name and indeed by nature it seems...

Behave!!!!

(NICE pic by the way...)

I can take it down if it's a little to much for the forum???

LOL!!!

cheers

NOOOO, leave it here

I second that, Silke.

grrr..link thing doesn't seem to be working, have had a go elsewhere...

Ok guys, I was inspired by all these pics.......I've FINALLY got my new website off the ground! Not too many pics yet.......ok, there's only ONE so far, and it's of my b/f! But as you can tell, I'll have my own page of Neil-stuff.....including pics from the Tower Records show in Seattle last year! The design is taking WAY more time than I'd anticipated, so I'll post again when I've got new pics up. Have fun all!

GensWorld

well....this is the only picture of me that I know of that's on the internet.

p.s. neil finn sucks! haha ( i had to do it!)

Donovan.

I have a couple better pictures of me that I'm going to try to post, here goes...

My friend Jenni and I partying in Las Vegas.


No, that is not my boyfriend! We went to Las Vegas on a trip with the morning radio show that we listen to. Here we are with two of the radio personalities.

edit: Yay, it worked!

your friend looks like me

Hmmmm, she does a little bit...it must be the glasses.

Alright, I'm not sure this will work, but try this link:

http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid1380147

Let me know if it doesn't. It's a picture my 5 year old niece took of me on Christmas. The extreme closeup was a nice touch, don't you think? Nothing like being able to count all your pores. Anyway, I hate every picture ever taken of me so I thought I'd use one that at least makes me laugh!

Grace

It worked Grace!

Your niece took a pretty good picture. Those kind of pictures are the most fun!

You know Jenn, seeing your pictures made me think - you look so much like your avatar!
(Sort of like what Sweet Secret Peace said about me, with one of my poses apparently looking like my avatar... hmmm well I don't know, but I always find it helps to lift up your chin while being photographed! Unless you have boogers, LOL...)

or fingerprints

Thanks Jenn,

You do look like your avatar. So glamorous!! It is fun seeing everyone's pictures. I feel so homely compared to all you gorgeous folks.

Anyway, I added a second picture of me with some members of my family taken in October. It's the same link, http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid1380147, and from left to right it's my niece Nia, my brother Tom, my sister-in-law Beth Ann (she's married to my brother Paul but Paul isn't in the picture), my husband Noel, my mom, my brother John, and his wife Barbara.

It's not a much better picture of me, but you might recognize us at the next concert anyway.

i love your glasses!
i only just got similar ones because i like such glasses so so much!

On a party, me and Dan and fellow moderator Krowdie (the one with the beer)


The morning after the party I think. Had far too less sleep and that's how I look like..
Will be visiting Debs and Mark again on Thursday YAY, they are so lovely! Mark took these photos btw! So I don't have any copyright there! Just to make that sure in case you want posters or the like, hehe

There is only one thing I can say about your pic Bedlamite and that's PURRRRRRRRRR..........

It's been great putting faces to names!

Fiona, I'm not sure about the avatar thing, whether it was subconcious choosing it or not. I know I was looking at all of them and I picked it because I really liked the bright colors. I would have something more original if I could but I can't figure out how to reduce the size so, I've just kept it.

Grace, I think you are cute.

Agreed

sorry this picture thing is too complicated for me, but if anyone would like to come 'round and look at my itch...., erm i mean, etchings then you're more than welcome.

Awwwwww, thanks Jenn and Silke. You ladies are too nice (and both as cute as can be!). Silke, I'm getting new glasses this weekend, similar style though, just smaller.
