I think the time is ripe for posting some physical descriptions 
of us. But to be fair, I think we should describe each other.

Geoff Miller is about 225 lbs and just under 6' tall. He looks like
Howdy Doody and is always scrupulously clean shaven. He looks sort 
of reminiscent of Jeffrey Dahmer, and he acts like him, too. At least
as far as personal carriage goes. He wouldn't look out of place 
teaching presbyterian sunday school.

Drew is indeed 6'6" and sort of looks like a cross between Grizzly
Adams and Bob Seger. He's got a BELLY, too. His hands are always 
dirty and he smells like wintergreen and hot motor oil. You can 
count the pores in his nose from 3 feet away. His hair goes 
down to the small of his back and his beard is reminiscent of
civil war generals, old testament prophets, and ZZ Top. You 
*don't* want to see him naked. Picture him as a hillbilly in 
"Deliverance" and you'll get the right idea. 

Bandy has a big red beard, so the rest of his face is mercifully
hidden. He's about 6 feet, though, and maybe 220 pounds. He keeps
his beard trimmed, though. He's soft spoken, which is good, because
what he says would probably get him arrested. 

Don Baldwin doesn't wash his hair, but it's OK, since it's short. 
He looks pretty buffed out, though. Like he might be able to 
do some damage if he weren't so mentally effeminate. Picture him
as Ned Beatty in "Deliverance" and you'll get the right idea. 

Russ Kepler looks like a real shotgun and pickup truck type suitable
to the american southwest. Cowboy hat, jeans, boots. The sort who 
has a satellite dish outside of his ranch home on the high desert. 

Rick Gordon looks like a Professor of Literature or possibly a
men's wear salesman. Very neatly kept with a distinguished shock
of grey in the beard. He wouldn't look out place on the dock 
for some white collar crime. 

Brian Scearce is the one you have look out for. He looks like a
Mormon Elder without the bicycle. Clean shaven, clean cut. He 
and Geoff could make a great couple in some neighborhoods. He's
a little less antagonistic than some, but he chuckles quietly
in the corner. I wouldn't be at all surprised to drop in on 
him and finding him dressed up like Alice Cooper. 

I think that's about enough to get me smeared....
