I like old books. I've been searching for a particular SF one I remember from my childhood, and sadly all I can remember is the cover. I'm sure it's the rankest pulp, but I like pulp so there. Anyway, I was up till 4 last night searching for it after finding this website (http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/vintage-books). I was kind of out of my mind from tiredness then, and to tell the truth I'm pretty drunk tonight, but as I scan through these covers, I can't help but thinking these books are perfect summaries of some of us L-G-ers.
Game: Go through the website I linked (here (http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/vintage-books)). Find covers that sum up key people here. Post your results.
To kick stuff off, here are some of you. I'm doing kind of a hack job here, since I already went through the majority of it without taking notes, so I'm sure I missed the best ones, but here's what I've come up with so far. Also I'm missing some key L-G members obviously, so I'm calling on you assholes to improve on my suggestions.

you need to remove the trailing "/"

We have very different ideas as to what constitutes vintage, but:

Please dont say that. Some of us rely on delusions to get thru the day.

Nice. I've done this too, although I prefer the Barnes & Noble 99 cent bin or scouring the thrift stores. I love thrift stores probably the best since they also sell records. I just picked up a sterling copy of George Shearing's Touch Me Softly for 25 cents on Wednesday. I was discussing the philosophy of this with a buddy today. If it weren't for the incredible amount of crap you have to wade through at the thriftstore LP bin, finding the sweet scores like this wouldn't be so much fun. As far as books go, I'm trying to form a collection of Weird Fiction. It's good stuff. I also have a load of SF, but the bulk of it is at my folks' place right now, sadly.

I'm glad I dont appear too often in these.
Go me!

I couldn't resist the opportunity. It's been a long, long time since I've been able to get someone like that.

Always take the shot. The cheaper the better.
Bravo!

I just meant the opportunity to think someone might click on one of my links without looking to see what it was... though I'm generally not above cheap shots.

There's that too...

Almost got me. I saw what it was and closed the browser window before it loaded!

Almost got me twice. Got me the first time for sure. The second time was when tricky responded - that time I caught it before the picture loaded up. Damn you.

Curse a high speed connection.

I saw it but can no longer remember what it was.
Yay for bad memory!

Gotcha'ed me, too. And, although some of it downright disgusts me, none of it really shocks me, anymore
