Reading Posts - Hearing Voices

Have you tried wearing aluminum foil under your socks?

Could also be those fillings in your molars...

I cant say that I have had that particular thing happen to me.....but all I can hope for is that you dont hear "Gilbert Gottfried" when you read this.........

Not the only one!

I picture MNMom as very calm but with a sense of "don't mess with me." lafmom and Tiger Paw Mom seem to always post in a southern accent. Of course I read a couple of posters post with a sense of sarcasm in their voice. Then you have the ones that you have talked to. TRHit and I shared a conversation once. I now hear his voice in his posts. itsrosy and gotwood4 sale are the same. I bet itsrosy and gotwood4sale probably think of me as someone that has a kind of "hick from the sticks" voice.

If you're not by yourself, I don't think any one else will admit to it!

I'm like piaa - if we can vote for who we are, I'd prefer to not be Fran Drescher!

MikeF:

I constantly assign voices to what I read...that is why I read so slowly...I can not read any more quickly than I can talk.

I find it to be entertaining and can not imagine being able to read otherwise.

I think it may contribute to an overactive imagination. Certainly not the worst affliction in the world!

When I read gotwood posts I hear Kellie Pickler.

When certain posters post, I hear Jon Lovitz. "Yea, that's the ticket."

Piaa_ump and Lafmom:

I think you both underestimate the power of suggestion. Not only will I now hear Gilbert Gottfried and Fran Drescher respectively when reading your posts...so will all the weak-willed,voice-assigning readers who read this (unless they happen to have the proper amount of aluminum foil under their socks as Texan suggests (thanks, Texan, I probably should change the foil...and maybe even the socks)).

CoachB25, I'm glad that a respected coach and role model is afflicted with the same malady. I feel better knowing this. By the way, do you remember a series of car commercials years ago where a cop walks up to the driver and says, "You're in a heap o' trouble, boy!"? Sorry...that's you're voice when I read your posts.

I have talked by phone with quite a few regular posters on this site, and in person with several more.

But after reading Mike F's thoughts, I realized that now when I read a member's post, I don't associate their voice with it even if we have talked. I guess that's because I "knew" most members through their posts before I heard their voices???

Most members I've talked with sound about as I expected.

PGStaff has a very pleasant voice and personality, but he has never made me think of Dr. Phil!

URKillingMeBlue has a very friendly voice, but I have never heard her addressing an ump!

GW4S, I'm pretty convinced that you need to assign the voices to what you read just to keep them otherwise occupied.

I'm glad you give your voices a place to talk where I can read what they say...I truly enjoy your prose.

By the way, when I read your words, the voice changes sometimes, but it almost always starts out as Dennis Miller.

Mike F

OMG, please, please don't have me speaking Korean!! Or worse, like the Japanese soldier on Gilligan's Island who didn't know the war was over.

I've got that soft Michigander lilt!!!

Can I be Jeremy Irons?

Mike F, Not too far from the truth!

Krakatoa, THAT'S FUNNY - AND I KNOW FUNNY!

If we're claiming aural persona, please assign me to Joey Ramone. Thanks.

OMG, you can read my thoughts????

Sorry, it reminded me of comedian Larry Miller's line...

If you women could read our thoughts, you'd never stop slapping us!

When I read Beenthere or TRhit....I hear Barry Bonds speaking.



With Bighit it's James Earl Jones.......

Everything's normal for me, excpet whenever Bob Williams (Consultant) posts, I hear Olivia Newton John........and I like it.

FH, I can't make any promises. These are all subconscious assignments and, unfortunately for you (or actually, for me), Bighit had just suggested John Lovitz right before I read your request. But I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the kind words. I don't mind starting out as Dennis Miller...what an honor...I just fear finishing like Lanny Davis...Clinton's former Special Counsel!

How many times do I have to tell you Krak? When you take the Soft Michigander Lilt please tell me...for crying out loud...it's the only conditioner that leaves my hair so full and supple!

Condoleeza Rice's fashion consultant!

Texan said: Have you tried wearing aluminum foil under your socks?

No, but I wear an aluminum foil hat to bed at night. It makes me invisible to aliens. Does that count? I outrun them during the day. My only concern is when I'm sleeping.

"I think you both underestimate the power of suggestion. Not only will I now hear Gilbert Gottfried and Fran Drescher respectively when reading your posts..."

Mike - I have talked to a lot of people on the site either on the phone or in person and I can pretty much bet the farm that none of them would say I sound like Fran Drescher! LOL My fellow Kentuckian, Coach B, is most likely correct.

"Condoleeza Rice's fashion consultant!"

Gotwood -

I've got more of a Boston accent than I'd like. I try to keep it in check most of the time but I do backslide occasionally. Did you see where Boston College beat Haahvid in the Beanpot tourney at Fenway yesterday? Oops.

BTW, Pickler was dispatched with extreme prejudice on last night's show. That giggly dumb blonde routine couldn't have lasted foever.

I mean forevaah...

Current events?

Now that is funny!

Mike F

By the way TR, I don't hear Barry Bonds when I read your posts...I hear Walter Matthau.

PopTime - That's what the remote is for! I actually watched the game too and flipped back and forth. Bluegrass' son plays for Murray and had a good game despite being called out at first when he was obviously safe. A good game with kids I know on both teams - was fun to watch!!
