Imaginary people

Posted in: Muscatine
After reading some of these posts I closed my eyes to try and envision the author of certain posts. Age, education, appearance, etc. and wanted to share my visions with everyone which I want to stress is not an accurate representation of the true person but only how I perceive the person in my mind's eye.

Chosen: Hardworking, dedicated family man, passionate in his beliefs. Laid back, easy going, possible goatee, slightly salt & pepper hair that touches the collar of his shirt.

Nedl: Elderly gentlemen with a shock of white hair and a razor wit. Vicious, junkyard dog type. Enjoys life and his grandkids. Is left to wear rubber pants when alone. Dedicated blogger, probably has a very nice garden in the spring/summer.

Bigbrother: Insecure loudmouth. Four eyed, balding. Over-inflated ego. Never far from a mirror. Talks a good game. Basically a zero on the 10 scale. Untrustworthy, unbelieveable, overly opinionated.

Lilsmom: Compassionate, levelheaded, definitely an experienced mother, wise beyond her years. 50ish. Has heard it all. Hard to slip one by on. Good heart, listens to all sides and then makes her decision. Someone you'd love to have as neighbor.

Jeff: Easy going, laid back style, non-confrontational but not afraid to take the bull by the horns when necessary. Hardworking small business owner, well thought of by his customers and those here in the neighborhood. 6'1'', 220, blue eyes, thinning hair. A true asset to his community.

Toocool: Hard to grasp. Is passionately opinionated. Don't stick your hand in his/her cage. Younger poster with the thoughts and feelings of today's youth. A welcome and fresh change. Hope he/she sticks around awhile.

Herman: Retired. Well educated. Portly? Knows his community. Should be more open and inviting on this site. Has very good observations of community politics. Someone who can make a difference through contributing his knowledge and thoughts. Shame he doesn't post as often as he once did.

Nigel: Another retiree, well educated. Early 60's. Insightful but with a twist of sardonic humor aimed at a certain foe. Computer set up in a study surrounded by novels, books and periodicals. Another brilliant contributor we hear less and less from lately.

Staunch Liberal: Dedicated to his beliefs. Most likely a thirty something. Intelligent. Knows the law and is willing to share his knowledge if asked. Extremely vicious to bigbrother. A real legal pit bull. Someone I'd want representing me.

Tlou: Sweetly naive. A babe in the woods who isn't afraid to admit she might be wrong but expresses her opinion anyway. Work day professional. Somewhere in an office nearby. Another good hearted woman.
More imaginary people

LionJack: Middle aged, possibly close to retirement if not already. Extremely positive person. Never appears to have a bad word about anyone. Great family values. Good Christian. Another person you'd like having for a neighbor.

Kenn: Sweet, sweet man who I know is retired. A true fighter. Here's a guy who takes on life's toughest opponent, spits in his eye, and keeps on swinging. God bless you Kenn. You are an inspiration to all of us and how we should really look at our life. My prayers are always with you and your family. Merry Christmas to you sir.

JesusofSuburbia: I like this guy. Doesn't back down from a good argument. Does his research to support his arguments. Well educated, well read. Another thirty something professional who is officed locally. Neatly trimmed hair, slightly longer than most. Could be married but I'm guessing he lives with his lady and doesn't have kids. Doesn't post as much as he once did. Sad.

Frazzled: Local girl? Funny loving. Late 20's early 30's. A mother. Possible MILF. Hasn't been the same since her friend passed away. Good heart. Sweetly compassionate. Another who always looked at the bright side of things. Sorely missed her of late. Please come back won't you?

Jr. Fan: Decent guy. Don't see him as much anymore. Knew he was sick recently. Trust all is well with him. Going out on limb here and guessing he loves NASCAR and especially #8! Could I be wrong? I think not.

DF: What happened? Did he fall off a stool and get swept away? This guy is a paradox. Extremely smarter than he lets on to be and has posted some outrageously funny stuff in his day. Haven't seen him much lately. 40ish, beard, thin but not skinny. Is the links protector of all animals which tells me he's more than what his name implies. A decent human being.

Joe Davis: Pops in and out alot. Understand he is no longer a local. Educated, well versed, doesn't resort to name calling as a rule. I'm thinking mid to late 30's, most likely married with kids. Open minded which is a plus. Solid contributor when he does post.

StonerVote: Younger poster. Enjoyed his banter and opinions. Brought something new to the board. Some found it offensive, I found it brilliantly fresh. Shock humor at it's finest. Young guy. Who knows maybe he didn't inhale and wanted us all to think he did. Hope he gets some votes for President. Will be missed.

There are so many others who I know I've overlooked. Forgive me if I did.

I can attest



I can attest that your perceptions certainly are deceiving you!
