New Orleans SiftUp
MycroftHomlz was in New Orleans for the American Physical Society Convention. 7,300 visitors were expected according to The Times-Picayune. This afternoon I caught up with him at the Riverwalk Café du Monde. That’s the muddy Mississippi River in the background.

..apparently only 2 showed up.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I have to admit I've never seen a picture of either of you. Who's who?
Forgive my ignorance, but who is who in that picture? I've never seen pics of either of you before, so I don't know. I'm guessing that it's Mycroft in the suit. Physicists are required to wear suits and ties, and have glasses hanging from their neck, aren't they? If I could see his shirt pocket I'd know for sure, because a pocket protector would be a dead giveaway.
How fun. Did you guys just chat over a cup of French cafe and contemplate plans to overthrow SiftBot?
I always figured Mycroft'd always have a pipe hanging from his mouth and that you, DotDude, would always be wearing a tie covered with dots. One outta two isn't bad.
Here are our roast questionnaire answers. You think I'm gonna make this easy?!?
dotdude
MycroftHomlz
This was an easy one. I knew dotdude was the left and Mycroft was on the right. If you [edit]spent any time researching dotdude for his roast, you were bound to run into a picture of the dot art man himself. He's the guy with chicory in his beard.
hooray, boo-yah, roule -
I knew that was dotdude on the left, aren't those dots on his tie?
Overthrow SiftBot?
He's got a "janitors" job. Sorry, cleaning up after everybody does not appeal to me - even if he is all powerful.
...reading glasses, suit and tie, physicists convention...I'd say the bearded gentleman is our wonderful mycroft. The guy on the right seems to be wearing attire befitting of a man going out in his own hometown (maybe to visit a cougar bar after the rendezvous). He also has a "welcome to New Orleans" embrace on who I believe is mycroft, while mycroft seems to be pulling away in some sort of anti-social "don't touch me, I'll have to wash my hands 20 times" type of OCD befitting of an anal physicist. Pictures are worth a thousand...um...letter thingies.
Beards. Beards gives it away. Check the survey.
Beards.
That would be a fun place for a meetup, and a beignet!
You fresh-faced youngsters make me feel lumpy and middle-aged. But then again, I am lumpy and middle aged, so I guess that's ok.
You look like good folks to talk to.
You can still the the stripper dust on my face if you look very closely.
Guys, that's the most uncomfortable looking arm-around-shoulder pose I've ever seen. You're trying way too hard to not be gay for each-other.

dammit, issy. we've talked about this.
just call it a donut!
OK, OK, we knew you guys would ask about the pattern on the tie. Well the pattern happens to be made up of fleur de lys. And here's the French Quater shop where the tie was purchased.
Fleur de Lys? You guys got a problem with separatist Quebecers down there too?
Nice tie, though.
Since Katrina the locals have gone bananas with displaying and wearing fleur de lys objects. Many business have made a point of including them in ads and logos.
I don't think there are separatists here. But, some locals have joked about asking France to buy us back.
motherfucker ... I still don't know who is who
