RE: Game theory and the Stasi
There will be no pictures so that I may maintain plausible deniability but the "Azteca" sort of looks like Trini Lopez*..except shorter. You might be able to find a picture of him in a mugshot somewhere.
The "Mayan" looks like a Mayan.
Stalker Girl is full-bred Polish.
I look like Tom Hanks (except better).
Stalker Girl Jr. looks like Stalker Girl Sr.
Mandrake Jr. looks like Winona Ryder
Saul the Mexican gardener with the Jewish name looks like Oscar de la Hoya 10 years after he stops training.
Can't really tell you what Scharfuhrer Braun looks like, have just seen her through the smoked glass of her recon vehicle. She is 20'ish, dark hair and does not have a grossly misshapen head.
The neighber with the $10,000 mailbox looks like Ichabod Crane was really supposed to look like (not Johnny Depp)
The hot neighbor with the bolt-ons looks like Disney's Pocahontas after a visit to the Dow Corning Miracles of Silicone Pavilion.
*Very few will know what Trini Lopez looks like. I wouldn't either but I just saw a PBS special on folk singers. I also now know what the Kingston Trio looked like. Nobody around here looks like them.

We need a turn.
Precisely. With this lot it is like taking a bunch of 13 yr olds on a guided tour of Gettysburg with Shelby Foote and all they want to know is when they can go to Starbucks to log on to jennajameson.*
*Not sure about the spelling of jennajameson.
That's not going to be a very interesting guided tour. Mr. Foote has been dead for a number of years now. It would be like going on a guided tour of Hollywood or President Kennedy's secret tryst rooms with the corpse of Marilyn Monroe. Kind of creepy, if you ask me.
So, does this mean that no pictures will be forthcoming? [:'(]

Apparently you've forgotten you've already posted one of you and your daughter... this one from just after you had the streetlight removed from your head*

RE: Game theory and the Stasi
Wrong daughter [:'(] And that is me before the guy at the DMV asked if I wanted to change anything on my driver's license.
Trini Lopez is too old in that picture but he really does look like "el Azteca" (minus the gluteal cleft on the chin and the sideburns). He really isn't a bad kid if you disregard his stolen social security number and the fact that he likes to drink and fight AND he is short.
As for Mr. Foote, I envisioned his voice as a disembodied narrator coming from everywhere at once as you stand in the Devil's Den looking up at the Little Round Top. Tell me THAT wouldn't be cool. Even so, you lot would be whining because there is no internet access.

RE: Game theory and the Stasi
Kasey Kasem always struck me as a fagela...but I am flattered, I'm sure. [:D]
I went on a horse pack trip once with the kids and sister's family. It was an expensive trip into the Sierra backcountry, the guide, a cowhand and a cook, 10 horses and maybe 6 mules.
So the first night the guide (who works partly on tips) says around the campfire, "you remind me of the guy in Godfather..oh what the Hell is his name", and he goes over in to the woods presumably to think about it. In fact, he had snuck some beers on the trip and had them hidden in the creek to keep cold. The SOB was holding out on us while we were supposed to drink powdered lemonade made with creek water treated with chlorine tablets. Anyway, I am left to think who he is talking about, Al Pacino??? Nah. Robert Duvall??? Nah Jimmy Cann?? Nah Could he possibly mean Brando...holy crap I hope not the guy was as old as the pyramids. Abe Vigoda?? Santa Maria! He better not mean Abe Vigoda or his tip is toast. I gave up.
The next night he suddenly exclaims, "I GOT IT! It's that Fredo guy!"
Holy Crap! Fredo??? The guy plays a total greaser and he has the lowest moral standing of a Mafia family for Christ's sake. He gets offed while fishing for trout with cheeseballs on the orders of his own brother.

Lemme get this straight: You are in the Sierra backcountry where the major recreational activiy is fishing for trout.
Then, a "backcountry wrangler" tells you, miles from the nearest police station or even road, that you remind him of that complete loser Fredo, who just happened to get whacked while fishing for trout...
Geeze, it's a miracle you survived that horse-packing trip, amigo!
I would have run off that mountain as fast as my legs could move! You ever see Deliverance?

Fishing for brown trout, eh? "Backcountry wrangler", eh? Heck, I'm thinking Brokeback Mountain myself. Not that there's anything wrong with that. [X(]
