Can we see the real you?


      Can you see the real me preacher?
      Can you see the real me doctor?
      Can you see the real me mother?
      Can you see the real me?

        — "The Real Me" by Pete Townshend ©1974

Is your avatar really you? Not some inner pirate-ninja-penguin-froggy Freudian id or super-ego self, but really you?
If so you should join the group IB ReallyMe
just add IB ReallyMe in one of your four profile categories ("Movies", "Listening", "On the Tube", and "Reading"). It does not matter which category you use.

See iamback's thread for more info

Why not just bump the other one?

And also, why promote something you're not a part of…?

Just wondering.

iqon on May 06, 2008

not part of??? How so?

JBVisions on May 06, 2008

The real me would never fit in an avatar, so I'm just sticking with a Rat in a Hat. ;o)

iqon on May 06, 2008

soprano on May 06, 2008

I say again, I met iqon, and his very lovey wife, for dinner back in October for dinner. Except for the perate hat, he looks just like his avatar. (check Iamback's thread). His wife told me she loves him madly. No she's not mad;She loves him. He just sports a beard. And for the record, I like beards on most men, too! I'm just too embarassed to show my real self guys.

terremom Vip-micro on May 09, 2008

BTW that's his lovely wife, folks

To a cat named Frankenstein

      Scratch! Dressed in red
      Pointy tail and horn-rimmed head
      And a widow's peak like Eddie Munster

      I sat frozen in my seat
      "We haven't had the chance to meet
      Are you a singing telegram or something?"

      He just flashed a hellish smile
      "Let's go driving for a while"

      He held something in his hand I'd never seen before
      It was my Chevrolet's pink slip

      Scratch! Evil eye
      "Step on it, boy, if you want to stay alive" he said
