Let’s fuck around with “threads” on here while I prepare another post! I really love the idea of my fellow Gutterballs wasting their time for potentially days or weeks on end bullshitting about topics of intense niche interest!
Let’s play a fun game that lends itself to convo threads: the vast majority of us have no idea what each other looks like. As someone who consumes the majority of her media reading, I absolutely form semi-stable images of the likeness and voice of sources (i.e., people) I encounter over and over, and all my knowledge of cognitive psych tells me I’m not at all unique in this.
So… what easily recognizable figure (celebrity, etc.- someone we can easily look up if we don’t know) do you imagine your most familiar fellow Gutterballs resemble?
P.S. If you’re offended by someone’s likeness of you, just remember: this is the internet where feelings don’t matter, and even worse, this is the Gutter, where we will laugh at you! Return the favor and lighten up.
Noooooo! You don't look like that at all! You have a nice head of dark blonde hair and while you don't look exactly like Jeff Bridges, that is a close enough approximation, and you're much younger.
GM, Hmmm...I was not familiar with Jon Hamm. But I looked him up and many similarities. And I am infinitely accessible. You hit the teasing smirk on the mark. Impressive.
I'm going to shut up and stop participating for a little while so I can actually write the next post while I have no meetings and a ridiculously rainy day that won't let me do a fucking thing on the ranch.
I'll pop in to bullshit later.
The point of this thread was to babysit you people, anyway. The Gutter is basically handing your toddler a tablet with GTA Hong Kong Wars pre-loaded.
Guttermouth: Sigourney Weaver, with pulse rifle and flamethrower. Loading harness optional, for cattle wrangling.
SCA: Selma Lagerlöf (classic swedish author).
Rudolph Rigger: Anthony Steward Head.
Ryan Gardner: Bob Hoskins.
John Henry Holliday: well, if I can't pick Doc Holiday himself then it's Nikola Tesla.
Ray: Charles Bukowski.
The Ungovernable: El Cid. (1961, Charlton Heston)
El Gato Malo: Dwayne Johnson (especially the Southland Tales-version).
Bandit: Lars Molin, legendary swedish highwayman and bandit of the "make fools of the rich but don't hurt people".
Igor Chudov: Omar Sharif as Dr Zjivago.
libertate: Malcolm MacDowell (Clockwork Orange, not Caligula...)
Margaret Anna Alice: Genevieve O'Reilly (Mon Mothma)
Eugyppius: Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine)
Pfew, it's hard going when you're completely out of the pop-culture loop since Revenge of the Shit premiered, and 2/3 of your first picks are more or less unknows internationally.
Luckily, I'm not THAT old! I do have dark hair and wear glasses, that do kinda look like his. No beard and mustache or squinty eyes. With the facial hair I can't really tell the shape of his face, but overall, you're kinda close. I don't smoke either.
He'd don female clothes to infilitrate households to steal from, then switching to male clothes to escape, and was described as a jocular and easygoing, non-violent type, well-loved by swedish folks for "sticking it to the man".
When finally caught and convicted for stealing silver from a church, he became a celebrity in prison and was well-liked by jailors and fellow convicts for his story-telling and cooking skills. In 1839 he received a personal pardon from the crown prince Carl XIV of Sweden (Jean Bernadotte).
Ahhhh. I was going by the pic of the 1942 Lars. --- So, you think I'm a transvestite... 😉😊😋 (Just kidding.) Or a thief?! (Still kidding.) --- I used to be funny and entertain people by acting a fool, but that was long, long ago.
So, when he was much younger, when we first started dating, Husbandmouth bore WAY more than a passing resemblance to a young Fabio, complete with ridiculously long blonde hair.
If I didn't already know what my father looked like, I would cast him as Peter Weller (especially in his most recent incarnation as Lucian from Longmire).
Thank you! It fits real well, not the least since his grandfather came from Nås in Dalarna in Sweden and left for the US in 1905. (Yes, I looked it up - I don't carry that kind of knowledge around.)
Nås now has about 200 inhabitants. The general area is heavily forested (pine; Pinus silvestris, and spruce, Picea albis, interspersed with streams, moors and low rolling ridges, and is dotted with small villages and summer-homes, but the with very few year-round residents remaining.
What is real funny in a "that's nice"-way is that in the larger region around Nås and here too and pretty much the entirety of the forested countryside (meaning 3/5 of the nation) the music of choice is "dansband", meaning "band who plays music you can dance to" - i.e. country.
And the attitude to autohrity when it's being silly is very well summed up in Kristofferson's line from Convoy: "Well piss on you. And piss on your law."
I saw someone here thought Gustaf Skarsgard for you and I thought "absolutely not" though I loved him in Vikings until the show went completely off the rails and fucked itself ten ways from Sunday. Too much nervous tension in him.
And no-fail on Selma. Clearly I've mastered fiction to the point of being an entirely fictional being in all o' your heads.
Heh, I'm pretty sure I paid in advance but turned off auto renew. But if not, apologies. Here, I am giving you $50 to keep the prefatory remark. I came for the intellect, but I stay for the infinite variations of stories about rounding up escaped cattle.
Guttermouth--Holy card image of St. Joan of Arc (I am counting on you, in 10 years time, to hunt down every single one of these bleepers behind this Build Back Better scheme. Be especially harsh on Trudeau.)
I worshipped Joan of Arc as a preteen. I think I wrote about four versions of the same book report all through middle school. I became a weird niche subject expert. But it was more interesting reading than endless Babysitters' Club novels.
For some reason I've come to think you look like your avatar. I'd have to agree with our hostess, it's a damn shame that all the various old time styles of facial hair is on the out.
A lot of guys tell me that I resemble Stevie Van Zandt but only in his Sopranos or Lillyhammer character configurations. 🤣 A guy at a mall in Annapolis even walked up to me and asked if I was "that guy on Sopranos"! Of course, that was like 8+ years ago.
In fact, because his character name was "Frank" (Tagliano) on Lillyhammer, the guys at work had great fun telling anyone that would listen that the show was about me. They'd put it on the big monitors in the lab and tell people, "no really! tell me this is not Frank!" 🤣
That would be correct.....wow, I've been mispronouncing that this whole time! You'd think I never watch that show.....also, her twang is more west Texas than central, but you're very close. I'd say I've probably gotten the closest so far, huh?
Really? If anything after I wrote "central" I thought "maybe not, she's more panhandle," but I guess you're right.
And there are no wrong answers here. We're putting faces and voices to people's personalities, not trying to accurately guess what they look like IRL, but it's always very interesting when they collide. Physiognomy is definitely destiny to some extent. :)
I actually look a lot like her, but I don't have a central Texas accent. I dress like that most days, too. I even used to have that color hair before having dyed hair was associated with being a woke lunatic.
Just scrolled down and saw my name and Gustaf Skarsgård! Well! I'd never! Schucks and other noises.
Sorry but no. Think Gustav Vasa or Brian Blessed. Or Friedrich Barbarossa or Götz von Berlichingen. Or Fafnir Demonhand from the Conan comic if we're using fictional characters.
Damn! Brian Blessed was who I was trying to come up with!
(I am terrible at this sort of game because I can never remember actor names... it turns into a terrible internal struggle of of that guy, in the movie, with the beard. You know, his mouth opens really wide when he's excited... he was so cool in Henry the V.)
I am so out of my league with this crowd. Yours is the only comment I can fully track with: "You know, that actor who plays a psychopath but in reality writes sappy poems and his dad was involved with killing JFK..." Or "plays the dad in that movie where the name really doesn't fit, raising his kids in the wild, and they sing a great version of that song I really like while lighting the mom's funeral pyre..."
I know! One of my friends from college I roomed with afterwards is the exact opposite: you could feed him those lines and he could give you a name. It was nice to have him around for those times you need to shout through the wall "Damn it... PIERCE! WHAT'S THAT GUY'S NAME, THE ONE WITH THE TEETH WHO SHOT THE GUY IN THE MOVIE WITH THE DRAGONS BUT MISSED?"
"WHICH MOVIE WITH THE DRAGONS?"
"THE ONE WE HATED."
"OH, [ANSWER]"
It sometimes bordered on creepy, like he was an early super advanced AI limited to running IMDB. Goddamn but it was handy though.
I wish IMDB worked that way, that you could type "the guy in the movie with the flamethrower and all the bunnies" and it would use keywords to help you find it.
We can shake hands on that then, I'm the same. "Hey look it's that man, you know, who played that funny sidekick in that movie we saw in the theatre in 1997!" Cue the wife: "..."
Doctor Hammer, that sets the mind on a certain track that name, doesn't it? Let's see...
Stellan Skarsgård. In th 1982 movie The Simple-Minded Murderer. I believe there's a subtitled version of it - it is well worth watching.
A bit off, but check back in another 20 years and it might just fit... I did get pretty soft finishing the dissertation (and moving to MN... they know how to eat to keep off the cold!) and its taking some time to repair. :)
Just discovered that the Gutterhostess was not taking an indefinite hiatus due to livestock-related hellishness, but that all the posts were going straight to spam.
Ech...
I picture GM as the Trina Schart Hyman heroine from King Stork in overalls.
El Gato Malo as a cat I know. It's the internets. We are all just shadows, on the cave wall here, and he's a cat.
Wow, a classic beauty. I'm flattered. And what great characters she played.
If we're playing the celebrity game, the person I most closely resemble in real life is Milla Jovovich. When I was younger and thinner, I resembled her closely enough that it caused chaos more than once at airports in Japan when the Resident Evil movies were all coming out one after the other over there.
If I lost 30 pounds (working hard on it) and cut my hair short again, I could probably still pass for her as we're a similar age.
But that's the fun thing about our online personas- we evoke an almost truer self by what we say and do.
I'll start.
SCA - Chrisjen Avasarala
Ryan Gardner - Jeff Bridges
Doc Holliday- Timothy Olyphant
No!
Especially now that he is pushing the jabs for the immunocompromised.
I don't give a crap about what the actual person thinks or does.
I picture Ryan Gardner as the Big Lebowski.
There's a lot of truth to that. I swear to God I'm working at home in my robe! And happy hour starts earlier every day.
I do think you'd be surprised at what I look like though.
Here;
https://brightergy.com/people/
It's about 5 years old.
Not looking! It spoils the game!
You're The Dude until I meet you IRL and that's it.
Noooooo! You don't look like that at all! You have a nice head of dark blonde hair and while you don't look exactly like Jeff Bridges, that is a close enough approximation, and you're much younger.
hahaha. I did have nice dark blond hair until I went bald in my mid forties!
Now I keep it to a stubble. Only person in my entire family who went bald. Oh well...my wife digs it....
The Dude will abide, with that assessment.
OK, I had to do a search on this Olyphant character, but you're really, really close on age and height/weight.
(Thanks for not saying Steven Buscemi...)
It's mostly his voice and I imagine you having a mustache like he had on Deadwood.
Remember this is what your online personality makes me picture. It's a little more psychodramatic than playing "guess your weight" at the fair. :)
Never far from a firearm, but no 'stache...
Shame. I hate that 'stache/no beard has fallen out of fashion, I like them when they're done well on the right kind of face.
Lol...it looks like your Founding Subscriber is The Invisible Man. Hmmm...something to be said for that...Well, invisible man with a mug... :)
I'm not finished yet! Those were just the first 3 off the top of my head.
Well if it isn't Clark Gable, I don't know what I will do...Invisibility has its advantages.
(See what you get when you say "have fun" with something?)
Jon Hamm. Because he has a serious voice but has this kind of teasing smirk that I imagine you do a lot. But still kind of classic-looking.
GM, Hmmm...I was not familiar with Jon Hamm. But I looked him up and many similarities. And I am infinitely accessible. You hit the teasing smirk on the mark. Impressive.
Psychologist.
But I'm glad you're happy with your persona! Like a lot of people I didn't know him before Mad Men, but it fits.
He has a more serious bearing than you. I picture you being a little lighter and more approachable-looking than the classic square-jaws of old.
I'm still working on it.
One of my minor life tragedies is no one meeting me will ever regard me as having noble bearing.
That's why personas are so wonderful. I admit I mainly imagine Avasarala because of her voice and procity, but I stand by the look.
I'm going to shut up and stop participating for a little while so I can actually write the next post while I have no meetings and a ridiculously rainy day that won't let me do a fucking thing on the ranch.
I'll pop in to bullshit later.
The point of this thread was to babysit you people, anyway. The Gutter is basically handing your toddler a tablet with GTA Hong Kong Wars pre-loaded.
That would explain the faint tick in my left eye and my constantly tapping right foot.
A few more from me...
Rikard - Gustaf Skarsgård
Integrity and Karma - Grace Jones
Jay Rollins - Tom Robbins
I'll get to everyone eventually, keep your egos in check.
I'm Not going to look! Lololol
It's cheating because I have seen his face, but you are really off on Rollins :) I won't give a suggestion since, again, cheating...
Ok, let's see...
Guttermouth: Sigourney Weaver, with pulse rifle and flamethrower. Loading harness optional, for cattle wrangling.
SCA: Selma Lagerlöf (classic swedish author).
Rudolph Rigger: Anthony Steward Head.
Ryan Gardner: Bob Hoskins.
John Henry Holliday: well, if I can't pick Doc Holiday himself then it's Nikola Tesla.
Ray: Charles Bukowski.
The Ungovernable: El Cid. (1961, Charlton Heston)
El Gato Malo: Dwayne Johnson (especially the Southland Tales-version).
Bandit: Lars Molin, legendary swedish highwayman and bandit of the "make fools of the rich but don't hurt people".
Igor Chudov: Omar Sharif as Dr Zjivago.
libertate: Malcolm MacDowell (Clockwork Orange, not Caligula...)
Margaret Anna Alice: Genevieve O'Reilly (Mon Mothma)
Eugyppius: Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine)
Pfew, it's hard going when you're completely out of the pop-culture loop since Revenge of the Shit premiered, and 2/3 of your first picks are more or less unknows internationally.
Oh well, hopefully it brings levity!
I was working on MAA for about an hour now in the back of my head but that one is excellent.
Luckily, I'm not THAT old! I do have dark hair and wear glasses, that do kinda look like his. No beard and mustache or squinty eyes. With the facial hair I can't really tell the shape of his face, but overall, you're kinda close. I don't smoke either.
Seeing as Lars Molin the highwayman lived 1785-1845... There's an author by the same name who lived 1942-1999 and a hockey player too, born 1956.
This is the man I was thinking of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasse-Maja
He'd don female clothes to infilitrate households to steal from, then switching to male clothes to escape, and was described as a jocular and easygoing, non-violent type, well-loved by swedish folks for "sticking it to the man".
When finally caught and convicted for stealing silver from a church, he became a celebrity in prison and was well-liked by jailors and fellow convicts for his story-telling and cooking skills. In 1839 he received a personal pardon from the crown prince Carl XIV of Sweden (Jean Bernadotte).
Ahhhh. I was going by the pic of the 1942 Lars. --- So, you think I'm a transvestite... 😉😊😋 (Just kidding.) Or a thief?! (Still kidding.) --- I used to be funny and entertain people by acting a fool, but that was long, long ago.
Guttermouth >> Gisele Bundchen.
Her Husband>> Kris Kristofferson.
The older father>> Scott Glenn
Wow.
So, when he was much younger, when we first started dating, Husbandmouth bore WAY more than a passing resemblance to a young Fabio, complete with ridiculously long blonde hair.
If I didn't already know what my father looked like, I would cast him as Peter Weller (especially in his most recent incarnation as Lucian from Longmire).
Rikard looks like Kris Kristofferson, but slightly more compact.
Thank you! It fits real well, not the least since his grandfather came from Nås in Dalarna in Sweden and left for the US in 1905. (Yes, I looked it up - I don't carry that kind of knowledge around.)
Nås now has about 200 inhabitants. The general area is heavily forested (pine; Pinus silvestris, and spruce, Picea albis, interspersed with streams, moors and low rolling ridges, and is dotted with small villages and summer-homes, but the with very few year-round residents remaining.

And the attitude to autohrity when it's being silly is very well summed up in Kristofferson's line from Convoy: "Well piss on you. And piss on your law."
I saw someone here thought Gustaf Skarsgard for you and I thought "absolutely not" though I loved him in Vikings until the show went completely off the rails and fucked itself ten ways from Sunday. Too much nervous tension in him.
And no-fail on Selma. Clearly I've mastered fiction to the point of being an entirely fictional being in all o' your heads.
Sounds like a very nice area.
So you are all confirming my predictions are fairly accurate and comforting to you. Thank you.
I do not mean to offend, but SCA - Ruth Gordon.
You need to edit the "I do not mean to offend" out of your comment or I demand you cancel your free unpaid subscription to my stack immediately.
Going to paid as a retort was an absolute fucking baller move.
Speaking of prostitutes.
The difference is prostitutes ASK for the money.
And, like, literally the only difference.
Up front!
Heh, I'm pretty sure I paid in advance but turned off auto renew. But if not, apologies. Here, I am giving you $50 to keep the prefatory remark. I came for the intellect, but I stay for the infinite variations of stories about rounding up escaped cattle.
I am contractually obliged to shut the fuck up on this issue now.
I love Ruth Gordon! She's awesome!
Agreed. She is wonderful.
I have really got to tighten up the aim on those space laser eyes of mine. This cannot go unrevenged.
And it's only out of gritted-teeth cordiality that I clicked "like" on your comment.
PS: If you *really* must imagine me as people I don't resemble, at least for the love of God see me as Hilary Mason in Dolls.
Joe Biden looks like a retarded toddler.
Am i doing this right?
We're doing it for the people we know in this substack community.
You just wanted an excuse to bag on Brandon. Stop acting like you can't follow instructions. :)
I do it for the people!
So do prostitutes, though.
Prostitues do it with the people.
Politicians do it to the people.
And?
Snake Eyes???? My G.I. Joe loving childhood is all coming back to me!
Rudolph Rigger--GK Chesterton
Rikard--Einstein
Guttermouth--Holy card image of St. Joan of Arc (I am counting on you, in 10 years time, to hunt down every single one of these bleepers behind this Build Back Better scheme. Be especially harsh on Trudeau.)
Your Rigger/Rikards are especially amusing because Rigger absolutely adores Einstein and probably would have wanted to be him.
I worshipped Joan of Arc as a preteen. I think I wrote about four versions of the same book report all through middle school. I became a weird niche subject expert. But it was more interesting reading than endless Babysitters' Club novels.
https://www.lifezette.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/joan1.jpg
With a fully loaded AK.
That's a nice image. I'm gonna make a little print of that to hang out somewhere on my office wall.
One of my all-time top favorite paintings.
https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/435621
Einstein? Wow.
For some reason I've come to think you look like your avatar. I'd have to agree with our hostess, it's a damn shame that all the various old time styles of facial hair is on the out.
Guttermouth-- I'm going with Imperator Furiosa. Kick St. Joan of Arc into the future.
A lot of guys tell me that I resemble Stevie Van Zandt but only in his Sopranos or Lillyhammer character configurations. 🤣 A guy at a mall in Annapolis even walked up to me and asked if I was "that guy on Sopranos"! Of course, that was like 8+ years ago.
I need to see your voice a little longer before I can picture an appropriate avatar.
Yeah, no surprise!
In fact, because his character name was "Frank" (Tagliano) on Lillyhammer, the guys at work had great fun telling anyone that would listen that the show was about me. They'd put it on the big monitors in the lab and tell people, "no really! tell me this is not Frank!" 🤣
I find life easier if everyone looks like Henry Silva, though at various ages throughout his career. If necessary for the purpose, with a wig.
For quite a while I read all psych textbooks as Morgan Freeman and all history textbooks as Ken Burns.
For history I'd go with Donald Sutherland as he is now.
Holy crap yes.
its a pity i used an actual picture of myself so i cant participate
🤣🤣
I'm 'bout to blow all your minds...
El Gato Malo looks like a cat!
Brilliant, I know!
Fine, you asked for it.
The Ungovernable - Jim Carey
Bwahahaha
Wait, young rubber faced Jim Carey or old, flakey, bearded Jim Carey?
Young rubber faced. Specifically I picture Ace Ventura. The vaguely-annoying-but-still talented bouncy body language and voice.
I'll allow it!
This is awesome. I've been hoping one of you guys would do this.
Everyone is thinking about this.
My guess for Gutterballs:
Tall robust Nordic people, replete with a brynja, winnigas, battle shields and a blood-smeared seax.
That's hot, but we need a name!
Orka and Varg Galdurman of the Battle-Grim Clan.
I picture Guttermouth looking similar to Sara Conner.
When I did my podcast episode with Simulation Commander, I kept picturing some kind of college professor with glasses and a beard.
Guttermouth, I think you nailed SCA.
Simulation Commander looks like David Tennant.
You stole my goddamned answer RIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD.
For the record, then:
SimCom - David Tennant
Only a little bigger, more rugged.
I was picturing her as Tweeter from the Yellowstone series. Same foul mouth and everything, just with a bit less twang in her accent.
Do you mean Teeter?
That would be correct.....wow, I've been mispronouncing that this whole time! You'd think I never watch that show.....also, her twang is more west Texas than central, but you're very close. I'd say I've probably gotten the closest so far, huh?
Really? If anything after I wrote "central" I thought "maybe not, she's more panhandle," but I guess you're right.
And there are no wrong answers here. We're putting faces and voices to people's personalities, not trying to accurately guess what they look like IRL, but it's always very interesting when they collide. Physiognomy is definitely destiny to some extent. :)
OUCH!
I actually look a lot like her, but I don't have a central Texas accent. I dress like that most days, too. I even used to have that color hair before having dyed hair was associated with being a woke lunatic.
I like to picture you cursing like her (and dressed like her) as you're chasing down your myriad of ornery livestock critters.
The stuff I have said about the bull wouldn't make it onto even premium cable, I don't think.
Don't you have a column to write, babysitter?
My comment was less about her look and more about her personality...
*he says while backpedaling like a cornerback
Either one is pretty much on target, though! I am only marginally more domesticated than Teeter.
But it's not like the actress is ugly, either.
Sara Conner, but with dark hair! That's the best description of her! I know she'd round up those cattle without a bit of a problem.
Bet you all can't guess what I look like.
Cute
Tom Cruise
You would be surprised how much I get that. I get a lot of things, but that's been the consistent, longest comparison.
I actually get Bradley Cooper. In fact, I once had a woman at a bar (no lie) ask me if I was Bradley Cooper.
That was a rush! :)
Of course you said "yes" and then proceeded to have a GREAT night, right?
Well, I tried. But my wife had other ideas! 😋
I'll enjoy watching this, but I'm SO woefully clueless about much of pop culture, that my mental constructs for many of you come from my own mind map.
I'll probably have to look up most of yzll...
Om...onward!
Guttermouth herself off limits then?
Just scrolled down and saw my name and Gustaf Skarsgård! Well! I'd never! Schucks and other noises.
Sorry but no. Think Gustav Vasa or Brian Blessed. Or Friedrich Barbarossa or Götz von Berlichingen. Or Fafnir Demonhand from the Conan comic if we're using fictional characters.
Awesome game I must say!
Damn! Brian Blessed was who I was trying to come up with!
(I am terrible at this sort of game because I can never remember actor names... it turns into a terrible internal struggle of of that guy, in the movie, with the beard. You know, his mouth opens really wide when he's excited... he was so cool in Henry the V.)
I am so out of my league with this crowd.

It was nice to have him around for those times you need to shout through the wall "Damn it... PIERCE!

"WHICH MOVIE WITH THE DRAGONS?"
"THE ONE WE HATED."
"OH, [ANSWER]"
It sometimes bordered on creepy, like he was an early super advanced AI limited to running IMDB. Goddamn but it was handy though.
I wish IMDB worked that way, that you could type "the guy in the movie with the flamethrower and all the bunnies" and it would use keywords to help you find it.
That would be helpful, both for finding the movie you are thinking of, and finding movies you might want to watch!
You might be thinking of "Night of the Lepus", by the way.
I love that a bunch of random nonsense I pulled out of my ass to be funny is a movie somewhere.
Lord! I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one!
We can shake hands on that then, I'm the same. "Hey look it's that man, you know, who played that funny sidekick in that movie we saw in the theatre in 1997!" Cue the wife: "..."
Doctor Hammer, that sets the mind on a certain track that name, doesn't it? Let's see...
Stellan Skarsgård. In th 1982 movie The Simple-Minded Murderer. I believe there's a subtitled version of it - it is well worth watching.
A bit off, but check back in another 20 years and it might just fit... I did get pretty soft finishing the dissertation (and moving to MN... they know how to eat to keep off the cold!) and its taking some time to repair. :)
So, we know you have a full beard.
Guttermouth: Granny Weatherwax, mixed with some version of Silje Torp from Norsemen (the Vikingane version) once I started to parse her icon properly.
Guttermouth looks like Kelly Reilly from Yellowstone. Acts a bit like her, as well! :)
Thanks loads. Will have to spend the rest of the day scrubbing my brain. I loathe Kelly Reilly, most truly.
Your baggage is your own! 😂
Ooh. Good one. Lol!
Just discovered that the Gutterhostess was not taking an indefinite hiatus due to livestock-related hellishness, but that all the posts were going straight to spam.
Ech...
I picture GM as the Trina Schart Hyman heroine from King Stork in overalls.
El Gato Malo as a cat I know. It's the internets. We are all just shadows, on the cave wall here, and he's a cat.
Dr. Yeadon...Thomas More
Obviously.
Took me days to puzzle this out but I see you as a dirty-blonde less angular but snappier version of Diana Muldaur.
Wow, a classic beauty. I'm flattered. And what great characters she played.
If we're playing the celebrity game, the person I most closely resemble in real life is Milla Jovovich. When I was younger and thinner, I resembled her closely enough that it caused chaos more than once at airports in Japan when the Resident Evil movies were all coming out one after the other over there.
If I lost 30 pounds (working hard on it) and cut my hair short again, I could probably still pass for her as we're a similar age.
But that's the fun thing about our online personas- we evoke an almost truer self by what we say and do.
Well God help me then...because even in the exceptional accolade you gave me with your choice, ain't nobody seen me yet.
I can see the Milla when the savage wit comes out. Otherwise I failed...
Our souls look different, is my point. :)
Quite obviously, a T-Rex. 😉😊😋
With a tie.
No, I said Tom Robbins, Hammer said I was completely wrong.
Yes, obviously not 92-year old Robbins.
