The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsDo you project voices onto certain DUer's posts?
I just realized that I do this. For example: California Peggy's posts sound a lot like Mary Tyler-Moore in my head.

(4,549 posts)I'm not sure why CalPeg sounds like MTM either, other than both of them seeming warm and humorous to me. There's probably a psychology thesis in here somewhere, if somebody's twisted enough to look for it.

Also, you made me want to re-watch the entire Bruce Lee parody from Kentucky Fried Movie when it's close to my bedtime, so damn you for that.

And then I'll tell you who I WANT to sound like.

a word on the real "Porky", infamous racetrack welder/wildman (from http://wediditforlove.com/porkey.html):
Now let me tell you about Porky. Hes a grubby looking guy with only one leg who wears a World War One, chrome German helmet with a spike on the top. He has a hollow aluminum leg which he fills with a gallon of rum and runs a plastic line directly up to his mouth.
If you catch Porky early enough, hes a helluva welder. Later in the day all bets are off. Wally Parks nearly went into convulsions when Porky snuck into the U.S. Nationals one year .........

I always read California Peggy's posts with Dorothy Mengering's voice (David Letterman's mom).
