Anyone ever spot a Boardsie randomly?

Dudess

There are some Boards members whose visage is etched on one's brain, thanks to Know Your Nerds and the numerous other threads that feature Boardsie pics. Plus, some people use pics of themselves as their avatars and/or within their user profile page - "famous" Boardsies if you will.
So, has anyone ever had a "Wow! I recognise him/her from Boards!" moment?

I did on Grafton Street today when I saw 6th... Well I thought it was 6th but it actually wasn't...

leninbenjamin

Dudess

Nope, keep forgetting to. Don't have a digital camera and always mean to ask mates for pics.

Peared

Wise girl methinks.

Not randomly saw but I did realise from the "know your nerds" thread that I actually know one or two of them, which was weird!

Just stick your head on a flatbed scanner and post the results.

seen pythia and agent smith having a coffee in starbucks a couple months back

although there seems to be a couple of people saying "hey Cremo, did you go to pres (my secondary school)?" yet they never answer back so i haven't a clue who they are.

that's about it really.

I saw Jizzlord in NUIG once. I recognised him from photos of Galway Beers. Afterwards I realised I should have shouted out JIZZLORD but that might have been weird!

Those things that you use to scan things before the multi use things came in !!

Adam

Don't think I have, but I don't think I would recognise anyone, except maybe 6th on account of him using his mush as his avatar for a while there!

I think cormie said he thought he recognized me once, never got to the bottom of that!

AlmightyCushion

I've been meaning to go to a boards beers as well but I don't want everyone to know I'm a nudist.

I suspect they would immediately blot it from their minds with copious alcohol ...

Hmmm, only random spotting I can think of was seeing Rozabeez in Maynooth a few weeks back.

LOL certainly wouldn't be the first time a boardsie openly talked about their sex life on Boards!

Sherifu

Once or twice. Good times.

I have never met any boardsies.....but my Uni does have a forum.
So I could be sitting beside one everyday and anyday.
Thats not a comforting thought.

Karl Hungus

Don't think I've spotted anyone, at least not from the know your nerds pics, it would have been from meeting them at a previous boards beer, or some such.

Quite a few people seem to think they've spotted me, I've gotten a few messages from boardsies over the last year or two asking "Were you in such and such a place the other day?" and I'd have been nowhere near where they said they saw me. Seems like I've got a few dopplegangers running around out there.

the_syco

Does seeing them in work count?:D
