A couple friends made allusions recently to the similarity of my profile pic, when seen in thumbnail view, to the infamous Unabomber forensic sketch. To wit:

And Jeff then posted:

A discussion ensued:

Trismegista: I actually originally thought that you had posted him as your profile picture and thought, “damn, Becky is getting political in a way I completely don’t understand!” ; )

Becky: OMG! Look at that! Total coincidence, I swear. *whistles, walks to the post office*

Grace (the artist who created my portrait): You know, I thought abut that when I made it… but then I figured you wouldn’t mind being the unabomber if you were able to be stylish at it.

Becky: hilarious. i think i need to write a manifesto soon.

Belle: Honestly, every time I see your little picture…what do we call it on fb? anyhoodle, totally thought you were purposely trying to be like the Chic Unabomber.

Belle: Thumbnail, that’s what we call it

Trismegista: “The Chic Unabomber Manifesto” by the Lady Hambox. Coming to a 7-11 near you!

Trismegista: It comes with a lipstick that is also a tiny rocket launcher.

Jeff: Make it an ironic diatribe on the death of the US postal service….

Ellen: Holy Cow, and I gave you my mailing address….
