Would you know me from my DIS photo???? LOL

[kathleena]

OK, so sitting on a bus to go on the DVC Innovations in Action tour, a gentleman across the aisle turned to me and asked "Are you kathleena?" Busted! But by whom?

At first I'm a little flabbergasted, but I admit it, yes I am. All the time wondering - who the heck is this???? Someone I met before but age and lack of estrogen prevent me from remembering?

So I have to ask who he is and do I know him? He hands me his card. His DIS card. Which says WebmasterDoc.

OK, so now I'm in shock - as we have certainly never met. So I ask - how did you know it was me (most people will say it's because of my voice and distinctive laugh, but never having had audio on the DIS.......I knew he wouldn't say that!).

And he said he recognized me from my picture!!!!

OK, so Doc needs to know his fellow DISers here, and recognizing me from a small photo is impressive. I'm lucky if I remember who my extended family is.

So hi Doc! Nice to meet you!

And anyone with a photo in your siggy - don't say I didn't warn you!

Props to Doc if he recognized you from the current photo in your sig. It's a nice picture, but with the costumes and all, mere mortals might have a tougher time picking you out on a bus!

But certainly another nice "Disney" moment.

jarestel in NH - A bit of hoity has begun creeping in, but we're battling the toity!

WOW Granny , you look familiar , have we met before?


and DOC , I'm impressed even if I had the photo with me in hand I do not think I could have recognised the person WOW.

That's so cool Kathleena ! Glad u and Doc got to meet !

 

[murcor]

What a great story

 

[Sammie]

I probably would not recognize you enough to remember who you were from the photo. I would probably just stare at you and think, do I know her.


Does not surprise me that Doc would, he has a mind for details.

 

[dis-happy]

That IS a great story!!! With that kind of memory just think how much money Doc could make finding people from America's Most Wanted.

Thanks, Granny---

And just in case we're ever on a bus together, I have to ask----which one of the three pricesses in the picture is you???

 

[kathleena]

Granny! You are too funny!

And I'm the Fairy Godmother with the white Birkenstocks!

I've been surprised too when people recognize me from my photo.

somehow I kind of figured you look like that, Granny

 

[Granny]

Sorry folks....it just jumped into my mind as soon as I read Kathleena's post. I don't look like Irene Ryan or even a male version of her!


And Kathleena....you've posted other pictures here too, haven't you? Maybe on the "what do our fellow DISers look like" thread?

I have such a poor knack for placing faces and names, I could have sat across from you with your photo in hand and never figured it out.

Even if I thought I did, I'm not sure I would ask someone the question, unless they were wearing lime green. Very fun story!

This story reminds me of a couple years ago when DH and I were at WWTBAMPI. The person called to the hot seat looked a bit familiar, and when the host started talking to him, I realized it was our very own Rob (webmasterdoc)! He didn't win the cruise, but we caught up to him outside and congratulated him. I had met him some trips earlier when he, Caskbill, DVC John and I had a mini meet. So hope we can recognize everyone in December!

This isn't you??? Then who was I on that Illuminations Cruise with????



Kathleena... what a magical story! Webmaster Doc, you have a truly amazing eye there!

 

[dumbo71]

What a great story

I agree thanks for the smile.

So hi Doc! Nice to meet you!

Hi Kathleena - It was great to meet you too.

Granny, you crack me up

Kathlenna, I had a chance encounter in meeting WebMaster Doc. Luckily I was wearing my LG DIS shirt and he asked my tag name. It was sorta like meeting our very own personal celebrity

I like meeting other DISers

I must not have noticed the beard but I do recall the clothes.
