For those of you who haven't met anyone in person, whose voice do you hear when reading? Here are mine--and don't be insulted. I tried to list the associations where possible.

Curious Hair: Dan Bernstein (just because of the avatars; it stuck a long time ago)
good dolphin: Mac (because Mac responded to some of his posts back when I lurked)
JORR: pretty close to the way he sounds
Darkside: Jake, a funny roommate/drunk from college
312player: Red, a buddy and former high school lineman with a temper
Douchebag: Alec Baldwin (no idea why)
Hatchetman: Big sarcastic fat guy. I know he's not fat, though.
Frank Costanza: Jurko. Not sure why.
Drunk Squirrel: My stoic neighbor Alex.
Nas: Not like his real voice--more of a low talker, since many of his posts are short and hard to decipher (can't tell when he's being sarcastic)
Don Tiny: Someone who is theatrical and talks in accents
newper: The pitcher from Eastbound and Down (his avatar reminds me of it)
Dr. Ken: An asshole named Dr. Ken
Tad: I don't have a handle on him
RR: Sidney Poitier (because he was in A Raisin in the Sun) (Poitier, that is; RR can't act worth a damn)
Chus: Chus
chas: Mini-me
RPB: Macklemore
Terry's Peeps: His avatar, El Diablo
JLN: JLN
DannyB: Funny smart-ass kid in the back of class
Ogie: Not sure if I hear him, but I actually picture Ogie Oglethorpe speaking
ltg and America: kind of one of those crazy guys with a raspy voice who starts talking to you on the bus or train and weaves in and out of reality
Leash: The Nazi from Oz
FrankDrebin: My brother-in-law
pittmike: My uncle from 85th and California
BRick: No idea. No feel for him at all. I never know what the hell he's talking about.
FF: My fat nephew who's sarcastic and smart but who maybe could have used a smack or two growing up
Telegram Sam: Because of the detached-sounding humor, Seth Rogan
IMU: Bill Paxton in Aliens ("It's game over, dude!")
Hank Scorpio: I hear Hank Scorpio . . .
HockeyGay: Someone with a pronounced rural accent
Seacrest: I dunno . . . like some cranky old dude
Denis: Richard Dreyfuss (in his more amiable roles)
Bagels: Pretty much Paul Westerberg
BadRogue: My angry boss at Sears
Sini: Steve Buscemi, especially when he plays the ultra-hyper Mink in Miller's Crossing
Keyser: A big Italian guy with a raspy voice
Godfella: Also a big Italian guy with a raspy voice
sjboyd: Suburban former stoner dad
Jaw Breaker: A less confrontational, perhaps more well-meaning, version of his avatar
HawaiiYou: Not Norton, but Art Carney, especially Carney as a sightly confused Santa on The Twilight Zone

Spiral sounds like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

I assume my voice is the silent sound of an angel. That's why it's not included.

I do sound exactly like stoic Alex, how did you know? Frank sounds like my cousin. Very similar speech pattern. I can only assume they were raised in a similar area. I don't think about voices much. RPB posted a picture once and I instantly hear him as a kid named Adam I knew growing up.

This is a pretty creative thread. Well done. I don't know what I expected to see when I got down to IMU, but not Bill Paxton.

Just using the bold formatting for that many entries is impressive. And I'm that exact kind of asshole.
