It took me forever to realize that ITK was female. I don't know if anyone else does this, but when I read the boards I have this mental image in my head of what the poster looks like. I always pictured ITK as a scrawny college boy with a bad haircut. For that matter, I picture all y'all as scrawny college boys with bad haircuts, except for RJ, PH, BKF, BluegrassDeac, LBE, WakeGrrl, Peach, and Go. Well, I also picture Townie as a wooly-bully, and Irish with a shaved head and camos.
But when I was finally informed that ITK was female, she was not being cool so I pictured her as a fat angry woman like ManhattanHeel or Roseanne Barr. But I soon started noticing the humor and awesome coolness of ITK, so now I picture her as a normal woman (sort of like a Wii Tennis character).
Does anyone else have these made-up mental images of other posters?
