Well, after running it through a few people it seems I'm a Jerk.

I dare ANYONE to dispute that.

It doesn't make much sense to pick one yourself (I read through most them and none of them quite fit in my view), so I'll just say, God. :)
And now perhaps one of you ('specially since my 3 "archenemies" are present), could enlighten me as to which pigeonhole I belong in.

EDIT: changed all to most... clearly I didn't read them all after all.

Those are great. I love the artwork.

I think I might straddle a few of these.

Guess who I think is an Enfant Provocateur!

Definately the Fragile Femme Root :)

I think I'm somewhat a combination of the Lurker and Doctor Jekyll/Mr Hyde.

Some Hungarian for ya, Bidi...

Bába (creature) According to the Hungarian traditions, it is a beastly old women, and has negative qualities. Although it had magical abilities, it was not a witch (→boszorkány). It was thought to live in fountains, and if young children went close to its place, it lugged them in.

Humorous, but the satire rings true disturbing well.

I'm not certain as to what I would classify myself as, but I'm not afraid to note a number of regular posters as part of the Royal Hierarchy--You know who you are.

That's great Moldy (as if I wasn't aware of the variety of meanings for "baba" from various parts of the world). That's not the meaning of the word used in my name however (search for Sanskrit "baba" if you want the intended meaning). And I asked for the flame warrior caricature that you thought best fit me, not yet another reference to the Eastern European (it's not just Hungarian.... every heard of Baba Yaga, for instance?) meaning of my name. (Unless you're saying I'm the Toxic Granny? Which makes little sense except the connection to baba.)

But I'll give you an A for effort, you clearly looked it up and copy/pasted at least.

EDIT: I did a search for baba myself, and according to Wikipedia, baba also means old woman in Japanese? Couldn't confirm this with Systran, Google or Babelfish, as they translate baba to baba (i.e. they don't know the word) in both Japanese and Russian.

EDIT: Found a reference to Jiji (husband) and Baba (wife) cedar trees at Suwa Shrine. They are very old trees though (1200 years), so perhaps it's more like old husband and old wife. Which would of course be very similar to the Slavic version.

Anyhow... I doubt anyone cares.

:P

It's my way of saying "God fits you about right" . Maybe a dash of Philosopher too.
Dec 08, 2006 chillum baba link
:p

Yeah, I guess Philosopher fits reasonably well, dunno how I missed that one. The "considerate of other opinions" part is only sometimes true perhaps, but "smothers the opposition with his ponderous and lengthy cogitations" is pretty accurate.

I think this applies to about half the forum.

EDIT: Oh, and here's Eldrad and all those other people.

heh good reading, I'm not even going to try to categorize myself.

Very entertaining and the artwork is hilarious.

hungarian for grandmother is nagymama, not baba.
