Hey–I am on a research trip, or else I would have weighed in earlier. I *am* flattered by icon #2. It is especially appropriate given that I have decided, after couple of years, to bring the goatee back.

(And JJO–you’re missing out! Yesterday the Virginia State Library had a big display/sale of southern history books. All the eminents were there, and I looked for your tome. It wasn’t there! You need to get in the gift shop, my friend; it’ll be the perfect way to move copies.)

Great guesses! #6 is NOT FratGuy–he’s not a regular enough commenter. It’s GayProf! He made his own icon several months ago and posted it on his own blog.

Susan: I tried my best, but yes, #1 is my effort at portraying you. #5 could be Dr. Crazy–but in that case I think I would have put cool glasses on her. (It’s someone else.) JJO knows too much–he’s right. I meant #2 to be John S.

I’ll see about arranging the comments so that people can upload their Mad Men profiles, as Tom has suggested.

Actually, #2 could be John S., but it’s not close enough that I’m confident of that.

I think Indyanna is pretty on target, given the limitations of the medium. Sadly, I don’t know anyone else — though I bet one could put together a pretty nice John S. with the options in the program. I celebrated my final class of the semester last night by creating my own, which I’ll send in. There’s probably significantly more body and less hair than the last time I saw Historiann IRL.

#6 is definitely Frat Guy.

I think I’m #1, but I had #4 pegged as Dr. Crazy, just ‘cuz I haven’t met her. Maybe she’s 5? But what’s with what looks like a mug of coffee instead of something more interesting, like a single malt? Oh, and GayProf as #6.

I totes had no idea you smoke! I put the cigarette in the photo as a joke. (Yes, it’s meant to be you, Notorious.)

(And sadly, Clio’s Disciple is right… Maybe 2010 will be the year I give up my deadliest vice?)

I’m guessing 4 for me… but it’s missing the obligatory cup of coffee, which I’m *never* without.
