The selfies will be like the first time you see a picture of your favorite DJ. You know, the one on the classic rock station with the sultry voice that you fantasize over...until you see her photo.

I'm sorry I've disappointed you. LOL. I feel like I've been pretty open about looking like a haggard version of Bob's Big Boy with terrible complexion. Haha. I'm sorry I have to admit that I'm of Irish heritage. We dry out, puff up, and turn red. I don't know why it happens, but we tend to trick people into marrying us before it gets too bad.

I have to say, I don't share your optimism. It's a hockey chat forum. I'm expecting most of us have an affinity for nacho cheese, and many of us have more hair on our backs that on our heads.

PS: Answer the the damn questionnaire and post the damn selfie.

PPS: Yes, I obviously made this thread and posted the picture while in the office. Haha. No snitching!

My recent best example of a picture not matching the voice is the PxP guy for the Florida Panthers. I was expecting Miles Silverberg from Murphy Brown.

Busted on the edit.
I love Tom Robins, my favorite is Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas but I typed the title of one of his others by accident.

EVs is electric vehicles. Our family car is a Leaf and I love it. I'm shopping for a replacement with more range and some towing capacity.

Permaculture is basically mixed organic orcharding. The people that teach it would give a more eloquent definition that highlights 'design' and 'lifestyle'. I got some empty land before the pandemic and I'm planting an S-ton of trees.

Did you see The Biggest Little Farm documentary. It's really good.

 

[lanky]

Did you see The Biggest Little Farm documentary. It's really good.

Yeah. I liked it too. They had some serious $ invested in that project. Our place is more like tents and wood ticks and seedlings started in my basement. Ten years from now it'll be something though.

Not only $$$, but staff. It wasn't really a "family farm". Lots of workers.

The idea that every natural problem has a natural solution is cool, but probably not practical on an industrial scale.

 

[lanky]

It is a beautiful idea. Scaling it up will look way different from the scale of current crop farming.

Hard cider? I really love the bone dry stuff. The super, super dry stuff. Schilling London Dry.

Skinny Legs and All was a hoot.

 

[lanky]

I'm bottling 15 gallons of bone dry, wild fermented cider in a few weeks. Hope to make it last through the summer but once it's chilled in the fridge it tends to disappear quickly.

I did say I was a GenXer in the other thread...i am on the cusp of Boomer, but I definitely qualify as younger on the "did you ever spend all day watching music videos?" differentiating question. Definitely 80s, not 70s.

Number of HFers met: I met a handful at a game like 2014/15ish timeframe I think? I don't even really remember but I think I brought a buddy with me and did a poor job socializing.

Favorite Shows: The Magicians on Netflix. Absolutely nothing special about it, just easy for me to have it on and not get bored of it. Helps that they cast very attractive female actresses and the gay male actor is my favorite because of his demeanor throughout the series. It's too bad SciFi dropped it.

Favorite Movies: The original Star Wars movies? Do documentaries count?

Definitely this...it's funny how we just sort of assign rando faces in our head. Hell I honestly can't even describe the face I had assigned to rt but when I saw the selfie I thought...wait who is that...that's not rt. Humans are interesting creatures!
