Mental Image of Preceding Poster

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

A little like a young Roy Barnes.

Is it a young Ralph Waldo Emerson? That looks like his nose and facial structure. If so, I appreciate the implied compliment but I'm not sure I'd say the comparison fits, exactly.

For some reason I always imagined opebo as cutting a somewhat Herrickian figure, minus of course the religiosity. Perhaps it's the combination of the monarchism and the association of Herrick's moustache style with seventies sybaritism:

Also, with any other poster, I might suggest that the mental connection between opebo and Robert Herrick runs through Ron Jeremy who is a Herrick look-alike and much more of an opeboesque figure than Herrick. Given that the person posting that was Nathan, though, that seems unlikely.

I knew that Herrick had a porn 'stache (I was trying to say so tactfully), but I wasn't thinking of Mr Jeremy by name, no.

Although now that you mention it, the resemblance is uncanny. I Googled 'robert herrick ron jeremy' and other people have noticed it too. Search for 'herrick' in this page, for instance. Or 'jeremy' in this one. The second link, incidentally, also taught me that Ovid's cognomen was 'Naso', a fact whose implications I still need time to process.
