Can safely say harls does not look/act like House, though it's been long enough the avatar has taken over my conception of him.
Skyscrapercity had a meet in Toronto once during Doors Open I think.

Can't say a voice ever crossed my mind. I associate some of you with neighbours, friends, colleagues, my daughter, my daughter's friends ... that's about it.

I'm actually the same way. Just a few of you get a voice over in my mind. I also thought that it would make for a light thread.

I think of Molson Export more of a George Carlin type, based on his ability to make a point while properly swearing at the same time lol.

MonctonRad sounds like Brian Mulroney to me. Conservative but intelligent and
authoritative.

Dengler Avenue is Sheldon Cooper, younger than BBT, older than Young Sheldon.

SHH sounds like John Crosbie in my mind.

I don't imagine a 'voice' for most posters, except rrskylar, who is Don Cherry.

Ha. I coined the 'Smoked Meet' moniker.

Now I wish I trademarked it.

Elly thinks I’m the Hand Christian Andersen of SSP, lmao. Are there any voice recordings of him? He died in 1875, so maybe?

But it's so easy to attribute a Fozzie bear voice to you! But I don't really do that, I figure it's much more reserved. I had a Humphrey Bogart avatar at one time, which may have affected how people read my posts.

My avatar is actually Bobby Fletcher, a character from "Crank Yankers". He jumped the shark long ago, as did the show, which was hit-and-miss at best (crude, occasionally uproarious). But this Bobby Fletcher character, hilariously voiced by Jim Florentine, belched constantly into the phone, interrupting and discombobulating unsuspecting callers. All of his best calls are not available on Youtube. Paradoxically, I don't belch or drink, and I don't usually find belching funny (though I fart a lot, and I still do find farting very funny).

Yes, I should have clarified that I had double checked the avatar when I had posted, but not being familiar with that show; for the longest time, I thought it was the bear instead because of the resemblance, so that was the "voice" I associated with it.

I'm part of the boat then - I don't really conjure a voice for most "speakers" on the forum.
