Discussion of Firms and Life in SF/SV

Many things are best left to the imagination. I get all weirded out when I think I know a client from talking on the phone and exchanging email, and then when we finally meet in person, the picture is totally wrong.

At an old firm, a receptionist was in love with one client because of suave French accent, and I didn't have the heart to tell her how short and fat he was.

That's what's great about this board. I get to have my cybercrushes and people get to think I look like Janeane Garofolo.

So here's another question: if (pick any two) posters from this board were to meet IRL, who would be more disappointed?

Dude. You wish.

But we may meet IRL all the time - those tedious SVIPLA meetings, over a conference table, under a bar . . . Although no one (yet) that looks like Wesley Snipes!

A client that knows what I look like told I reminded her of Patricia Richardson - the mom on the TV show "Home Improvement". Not the glamorous image I like to have of myself, but it could be much worse.

I guess that works.

When I think of you, I think spunky (ironically). And when I think spunky, I think Meg Ryan for some reason. If you have a better casting choice, I'd love to hear it!

I could only love you more if you had said Wesley Snipes. I've always wanted to be played by Wesley Snipes.

Hey, I think you're versatile: sometimes serious, sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always entertaining. Ed Norton is the thinking person's actor. At least for me.

I'm not sure about the Wesley Snipes thing though. Would you settle for Steven Seagal?

Hmmm....Let's hear your casting choice for Mr. Finch, you know him better than I do....

Sidd will always be Gabriel Byrne in my mind. sigh.... And John Cusack plays Tyrone.

Slave = Colin Ferrell

I agree that Deuced should be played by Nicole Kidman, in a librarian chic kind of way.

Flinty should be played by Jack Black!

AM(it's the internet, I can imagine whatever I want, no matter how wacked it might seem)M

Ok, sorry for the spamming. Last post for now:

I could only be so lucky as to be played by Jack Black. I'm probably more like his sickly accountant though. And BTW, I've always loved Garafalo and her attitude.

At least this exercise is making my day go faster.

My choice of actors is so dead-on physically, it's outable for poor Sidd, so I won't name him. It's therefore hard for me to come up with an actor just based on his posting persona. But I'll try. Christian Slater.

Tony Randall? That's it, right?

Flinty and Tyrone, you sound like Sidd's bratty little brothers and you're trying very hard to destroy my cybercrush on Sidd with all of your talk of Tony Randall and Wilford Brimley.

And now everyone is sure I have a big, fat ass!

If only I were cool in school.

Hey, Tony Randall is a handsome man. And virile too. Perhaps a little senile too at this point. Just like Sidd.

And nothing wrong with a little junk in the trunk.

She looks kinda like a young nerdy Debi Mazar in that movie.
