...do all the site staff try to look alike? The avatars all look suspiciously similar.

It's to better throw Shannon into sharp relief.  She's a queen among apes. ;)

That really doesn't answer my question at all, you know.

Allow me to clarify:

OOK.

PS: The look-left-and-try-to-look-serious-you-orangutan thing wasn't deliberate. But it is kind of funny, innit?

Is this one of those situations where if you hang together long enough you begin to look alike? Like couples who have been married for 50 years.  ;D

There's a different cause for that. It's called getting old. And none of these people, I assume, are Michael Jackson.

Okay, I know Jim's avatar is Jim and Shannon's is Shannon, but Ashton and Fred... Real? Or Memorex? ???

The world wants to know...okay, maybe not the world, but a few nosy, bored, no-life, Dresden fans...

I am 99.99% sure that Fred's is Fred (I've perused his LJ icons).  I don't see why Ashton wouldn't be real too.

Fred is definitely Fred (though a particularly good picture)

Ashton I don't know so can't say, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be him.

Fred's is truly Fred.  I saw his wedding pictures, blue hair and all, so I know what he looks like.  Ashton, I have never seen, but since Fred, Jim and Shannon's are all theirs, I would imagine that is indeed Ashton.  :)
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction.
I get to the end and think, "Well, that's not going to happen."

Yes...a particularly good picture, indeed.  :P

Neither are what I'd invisioned . Pleasant surprise.

Okay, moving on now.

It should be pointed out that while that is indeed Fred, the color is tweaked. He is not related to Desslok, nor the Smurfs.

Nor Illyria, nor Nightcrawler and Mystique.  But how much fun would it be if he was?
