It’s hard to say who I most look like. I have a full head of hair and I don’t wear a hat. Nothing against hats, mind you, I just tend to look ridiculous in them. I wish I could get away with wearing something like what Ken Gerhard has on. And the get ups of the Youngs, well they just blow my mind. Awesome. I could no way wear that without being laughed out of the room. I think very few people could pull it off now that I think of it.

I must also say that there is a pretty awesome display of headgear with what Matt Bille has on and the last pic of Loren. I would look incredibly corny in either one of those, but you two pull it off with aplomb and style.

Me, I’m a t-shirt and jeans kind of dude. Even in the field, its mostly t-shirt and jeans, a good pair of hiking boots, and a good supply of sunscreen. I think this simple outfit is under rated for comfort and utility!

KentMcManigal – Idunno, Shermer kinda looks evil, ya know. Maybe it’s just the lighting, but he looks kinda like some weinie 1950s-style mad scientist reject.

Since it is self-evident that everyone looks better, and WAY cooler, with a hat – I immediately cheer for the cryptozoologists. I do have to admit I really like Shermer, though.

Clothing I would take on an expedition: a down jacket (packs up small), an Afghan scarf, leech-proof socks, and a rubberised poncho (which doubles as a bashir if you need to spend the night in a hammock).

LanceFoster – There we go, I knew there was something funny we could say aout Nickell. And yes, from the picture we have, he appears about as expressive as a potato.

If Joe Nickell is considered “bland” including his expression…wouldn’t that make him a “wooden” Nickell? )

CryptoInformant 2.0:
I do agree that Nickell is bland. Most of the other skeptics are also.

Like I said on the first post—the skeptics come off as “boring.”

Given his past behavior and “working methods,” I was just pointing out that Nickell comes off as condescending and arrogant.

He’s “boring,” not “evil”—but he IS smug and condescending.

The reason for that?
I have no idea.
Too much time spent “reinforcing” mentally his preconceived notions?

Hmmm… Well, with Joe Nickell, there isn’t even a good evil person joke to go with him… Seriously, there’s not much to work with regarding this guy. Darth Randi can be made hilarious, but Nickell’s just kinda… bland, ya know?
