Did you think he was kind of a cartoony Indian chief?

I thought there was a black and white picture of a chubby Italian guy.

Guilty as charged. I was thinking about putting a childhood photo in there today.
I might have Corto confused with - dun dun dunnn- an avatar on Bh forum.

Or a picture he posted that was not an avatar.

If you think these types of comments are only found on conservative sites, you aren't paying attention. The internet is a wasteland riddled with toxic comments from anonymous trolls of all types.

Agreed, but the other site I generally use for the left side view, CNN, does not seem to allow comments, or I am not able to figure out how to view.

pug, my point is a lot of humans in this world suck. Regardless of age.

I should stop looking at this stuff, but work is slow...

At least I am getting a good chuckle here vs. stressing out about CV!

barrett, I forgot about you! You aren't posting much anymore.

Since it is public on Facebook anyway, I am proudly showing my family.



As for the chubby Italian guy, I was for most of my young life, as shown below. 6th grade. I really liked eating, and lived with my grandparents as well as my parents. Good Italian cooking.

I once read a book about online behaviour and I believe there's actually a name for this: online identity disassociation.

We should all do a test. Who'd be willing to put a real picture of themselves as their avatar and real name? You already know my last name. First is Mike. And I'll continue the ND theme.

I'm not sure about the avatar but I'll post a picture of myself.

Cortopassi, if you don't mind...

Where is your wife from originally? Mine is from Shenyang, China (Liaoning Province).

I am posting a bit more now but trying not to overdo it.

I am also guessing this is a late, late 70s, early 80s picture?

I think it is earlier than that actually.

I believe I saw a more current photo of you, tech, when you linked to an award for three-misses (not be confused with the Mormon project, Three Missus). That was you, wasn't it?

Corto - that's it! That's the guy I was thinking of.

Yes that’s me.

The answer she would give you (with probably a dirty look) --- Chicago.

Born here. So was her mother. Her father is from the Guangzhou area, near Hong Kong.
