The "Say "Cheese" thread (Read OP for rules)

[Kyriakos]

Taking a half-decent pic using the mirror is not possible, so here is a half-half-decent pic instead:





I am obviously holding the phone to take the pic, I know the projection is severe but it was the best I could do

[Derc]

You look like the most Mediterranean man ever

[King Athelstan]

Hahah Derc's not wrong

[Kyriakos]

You look like the most Mediterranean man ever

Probably my prehistoric ancestors had managed to control the position of shaman, so all other notables are descended from there

[Flinn]

Damn, I need a hair transplant

[Cookiegod]

Steal it from your daughter. Or promise her ice cream after the operation

[Flinn]

I already killed her cat to make myself a toupee, I can't steal her hair too (I'm not that bad as a dad, I keep the worst for me for when I have to be a husband)

[Akar]

Cool mask and glasses,

Leon the professional

It could really be Leon the Professional.

Speaking of apps

Faceapp is a quite funny photoshop app.^^

Not quite actual, Leipzig WGT 2004.

Haha, I *knew* it. Too much to hope for that there would have been an actual female member on a strategy gaming forum. Well, that's hot enough for me though

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Are you sure?





And if here would be girls, 90.00 % of the TW Nerds couldn't talk to them like Ranjid from Big Bang.

[Septentrionalis]

Are you sure?

Argh. Now you are a Schrödinger's strategy gamer. A regular hairy-ass dude and a hot girl at the same time. I am not sure that I can handle this uncertainty.

No, wait. Did you just put that "FaceApp" text onto the photos in Paint? You did!

[...] you are a [...] regular hairy-ass dude [...]

Unlike that ninety percent of the Total War nerds, obviously I have no trouble talking to a beautiful woman. The right words just kind of flow out naturally.

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Naturally is always good, unnaturally like unnaturally funny or unnaturally talkative is the path to failure, a quite entertaining first talk is the first step.

[Derc]

One does not need this false Faceapp watermark to see that the picture is an obvious fake.
Morticia is a goth. And German. Goths have black hair and don't smile. Now the haircolor stuff could be forgiven, considering her heritage, but smiling? As a German? Nein, nein, nein, nein, nein!

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Ok, with smiling you would have a point, but no red-haired goth?

But I'm smiling because at least one time of the year, i was finally among normal people.

[Sir Adrian]

And here I thought you were a man this whole time.

[Septentrionalis]

Morticia is a goth. And German. Goths have black hair and don't smile.

Maybe red head occurs in fully Gothic people occasionally, but I think that we have to explore the possibility that Morticia is only half Gothic genetically. Like from her mother's side. At least most unmixed Gothic women have black hair, like you say, and they are depressed and severely overweight. That might explain her red hair and amicable spirit in despite of her distinctly dark character and preferences.

Now I too get goosebumps when I hear Tarja Turunen sing that Nightwish stuff, but that is all due to cultural proximity, having grown up surrounded by Gothic people on all sides. But I am genetically all from the light side, and you don't see me sporting long, black hair, wearing a top hat, and walking around all gloomy and dressed up like some Victorian weirdo.
