Journal subgeek's Journal: the new faces of slashdot 33

Journal by subgeek on Wednesday April 06, 2005 @10:33AM

here are my guesses for the FotoKon. if you feel i've guessed incorrectly, just wait until you see the mirror tomorrow. i feel particularly sorry for those of you who will be changing gender.

i don't look like michael caine just yet (the guess for me is wrong). i knew that one was wrong, but i figured i might as well look like someone famous.

many of these i should have known, but did not. i figure fewer than 20 are actually correct. didn't mean to offend. here are the photos that go with these guesses. and here is FK's JE home to this photo guessing thingy.

Sorry, I'm not 66 but I have looked like that in the past. If you want to change any of your guesses I have a hint for me. The background in one of photos has been in the international news a lot in recent days. I mean A LOT.

Other than that, I declare you to be 100% correct. And many kudos (as in the granola bars, perhaps?) for taking the trouble to make all of the links.

  all guesses are final. not spending the time to try to make them any better than they already are. i thought the shitface guess was pretty funny. also less likely to offend people.
  
  the links are easy if you know how to do text concatination in a spreadsheet. had to fix the ones with spaces, though.

  i'm finished guessing. either you'll all start looking like my largely random guesses or you won't. spent too much time trying to figure things out on a couple people, lost interest in doing it for anyone else. if i achieved 20% accuracy i'll consider it an overwhelming success.
