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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
I'll start.
SCA - Chrisjen Avasarala
Ryan Gardner - Jeff Bridges
Doc Holliday- Timothy Olyphant

I'll get to everyone eventually, keep your egos in check.
Ok, let's see...

Oh well, hopefully it brings levity!

The older father>> Scott Glenn
I do not mean to offend, but SCA - Ruth Gordon.
Joe Biden looks like a retarded toddler.
Am i doing this right?

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.
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!
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.
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.
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?

Awesome game I must say!
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! :)

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.
