Title: Mental Images of Callers
Post by: furnstein on July 02, 2008, 10:13:36 AM: I was just talking with one-time-caller Rick from Philadelphia about the mental images of callers that you get when you listen to the show.

Here is my mental image of Spike:
-Balding, grey hair
-Earring
-Skinny dude, wears a lot of sleeveless shirts
-Chain smoking
-Tinted glasses
-Possibly broken teeth

Rick from Philadelphia offered this (minus suit and cigarrette):

Not me. Anthony Bourdain is sexy, which isn't the first word that comes to mind when I think of Spike.

Title: Re: Mental Images of Callers
Post by: Jouster on July 02, 2008, 02:01:18 PM: Spike has described himself as looking something like Malcolm-Jamal Warner, plus a few pounds. So I picture that. I'm not sure how anyone can picture Spike as a slender man.

Post by: Gagneaux on July 02, 2008, 05:36:08 PM: For some reason I've always pictured him as slender ... maybe even a little too thin for his own good. Reading glasses. Cosby-esque sweater. Maybe he wears a straw sun-hat when he has to go outside in the day time.

I have no idea why I assume all of that. ???

This is what I picture when Spike calls.

Oh man! EXACTLY. I once described my mental picture of him as "a mix between the dead boss/mentor in Scrooged and the tiny lady from Poltergeist," but this is even better.

take that girl and make her 30% more drunk
and that's how I picture Laurie

As in, she's propped on the floor against the cushion? A la Auther.

I would put that in the Julie zone, but Miss Laurie does have a "Kate Hepburn Falling Down the Staircase" quality about her.

And I mean that in a nicest way possible.
Title: Re: Mental Images of Callers

(This is either the best affectionate zing of my FOT life or a total flameout that makes me look like a prevert. I'm not sure how to interpret my Google image results.)

I'm hesitant to call it pervy ~ a lot of girls actually sort of look like that these days.

Edit: Just noticed the SG tattoo. Okay, maybe it's a little pervy. ;D

I've been asked quite a few times if I'm related to that guy (Jim Varney, not Clark) - hopefully this is due to the fact that we share a last name rather than any sort of physical resemblance.

Concerts are a one time thing, and they don't call it "baby fat" for nothing. They could generally stand to lose a few ounces.

Pretty odd stuff if you ask me, which you didn't. I resolved right then and there that if I ever go bald, I'm definitely wearing a wig. Sheesh.

I've been waiting for you to run into this. I actually have no idea who this "broad*" is, but I googled her after you mentioned in the chat how much you hated her.

She should have just asked the GG Allin fans to host a baby food drive. Problem solved!

I take this as a compliment, and doubly so because people always used to note my dad's resemblance to Andy Griffith; years later, after his passing, one of his best friends told me that in fact people thought he was a cross between Andy Griffith and Peter Lorre, but they never mentioned the Lorre thing because they thought it might hurt his feelings.

Also, I never really thought of TL as a slightly skeezy but not unattractive female, and who's that douche sitting to her left?

Semi OT

So a friend of my fiancee's (who couldn't remember my last name) ran into one of my classmates, who is friends with all my friends but who I don't know too well. I wish I did. Cool guy. Anyway, so she asks him, "Do you know John?" And he's like hmmmm, lots of people are named John, John who? So she says, "He kind of looks like Ferris Bueller." And then this guy says, "Oh, John *********."

So that's people's mental image of me.

I don't mind looking like Ferris Beueller, but seriously, don't ALL youngish* white dudes with a head of dark hair look the same?

* I am *technically* still in my 20s for another week. And yes, I'm still in school. And I also have no particular reason to hide my last name (http://www.bergmayer.info).

i was using "sick" more in the way the young folk do, as a positive modifier. i was trying to speak in the parlance of his generation.

i turn 30 in two days, so i should start acting like i don't relate to teenagers at all, right? even though i still dress like one half of the time, and my parents' sense of humor (that's right: sense. one shared sense of humor) still embarrasses me, and i like bright eyes?

A Confederacy of Dunces is the book I've read that went from "Is this a masterpiece or what?" to "Boy, he sure ran out of steam quick, didn't he?" the most severely.

Isn't that the girl who left the Real World Seattle early?

Holy moly why do I know that? :(

You got it! That is exactly who I picture when Julie calls. It's weird, but I can't shake it.

She has (or had) her own radio show recently. I couldn't really get into it.

Hey Bonni, who were the other 10 FOT?
The only reason I said 11, was because when I asked how many other people were living in the house, the answer was "11 FOTs", not sure if that was including Fredricks, and myself.
I recall someone resembling Steve from N. Hollywood playing video games while hanging around, and my mental image of Laurie from Miami bringing us all milk and cookies.

Come to think of it, the whole thing was a lot like a weird Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.

I had listened to WFMU for very short periods of time for many years. Decades would not be an exaggeration.

Clay is friends with the Professor (also a Florida guy. I believe). Bob Lassiter is involved... oh man gonna have to wait for the book. Or at least the BonnAdventure interview.

Did you hear his supposed remix? Cute but rather disappointing.

I know what Spike really looks like now.

I googled "Seance Knowles" and found his youtube site.

How did no one think of that before?

I'm very proud of myself. All of my ideas about you, Spike, your look were validated. I especially like the lackadaisical way you sit in your office chair before you gear up to speak, at which point you become all business. The lack of wire rimmed glasses, that throws me a little bit. And what's with the mess on the desk, I thought dungeon masters were supposed to be organized?

Your lip syncing videos are wonderful. Keep it up.

When all young FOT finally get to that age where they must prove themselves adults, or die trying. They are sent out into the desert with only a meager amount of water, and a knife to hunt, or to take their own life should the test become too arduous. For five days and five nights, they wander. And then, once they have seen their own soul out in the wastes, they are given one more trial. To google "Seance Knowles" to find out what Spike looks like.

Regardless of what you think of Spike's contributions to the show, his knowledge of doo-wop and soaps is pretty impressive AND I'm glad to see that the Spike we hear on the show is the same guy in the videos; I respect a guy with the courage to stand behind his convictions.
