Twins
Do you believe those stories that everyone has an identical twin walking somewhere in the world? How about that often whimsical concept of 'separated at birth', where two faces are matched up emphasizing odd characteristics. You know, for example, where they put the faces of Mick Jagger and the Don Knotts' character, in the movie "The Incredible Mr. Limpet", side by side for humorous effect. Now, I've had many requests asking for a 'closer look' at the real Birdman over the last few years. There have even been a few lads, Lowell, Jack come to mind, who have made sly comments as to why they think I incorporate a paperbag mask in my avatar. Funny, guys. Real funny!
All I can say, with true certainty, is that if you want a glimpse into the real me, check out images of Twain, Einstein, Kurt Vonnegut and even on occasion, Richard Petty.
That's as close as you're going to get today, gang.
Have you ever been told you resemble someone famous? Please share. An inquiring mind wants to know.
ps. I even heard someone called Elenka, Doris Day once. What's that all about?
Interesting twin image to go with your commentary. Any connection between the motors and you? I'm thinking; I'm thinking!

ReplyDeleteH! Yes, I was once mistaken for a former governor of Virginia in front of a grocery store. The odd coincidence is that he and I also shared the first name. It took a while to convince the gentleman that I wasn't the governor, even though I noticed that he continued to eye me suspiciously as we parted. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, his motor's always running......
ReplyDeleteLove, Doris
Here I've been assuming you were in the Witness Protection Program and didn't want to show your face. That's fine. Turns out the government is watching all of us anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood one!
Delete:) Nobody has told me I resemble anybody famous :) or :(
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been stopped and asked if I am someone else. I must have a "standard face." ;)
ReplyDeletewhen john mccain was running for pres, i was told i resembled his wife, cindy. not a bad thing as i think she's quite beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteoh, and as for 'the whistler', if you read my 'just me' tab, i admit to being a frequent and loud whistler, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been told I look like Glenn Close. Personally, I don't see the resemblance. I've actually grown rather fond of your paper bag mask.
ReplyDeleteI've been told I look like Justine Henin-Hardenne, the tennis player. So many times in life I have seen a person who looks unbelievably similar to another person dear to me.
ReplyDeletei've been mistaken for a well known chef/cookbook author about town but I don't see it.
ReplyDeleteI have at least two twins walking around. One in Sweden and one in Norway. My sister was very upset that I didn't say hello when "we met" in Stockholm a simmer day a few years ago, but it wasn't me so he must look very much like my twin. The one in Norway was when I was a kid and he came walking on the other side of the street. My cousins thought it was a bit spooky.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elenka, for your comment. I could tell it was you 'cause it made sense! Heh, heh!
ReplyDeleteWe just got twin kittens and they seem to have 250 hp motors the way they tear around the house!
I don't remember saying anything about your paper bagged head, but I might have. It is suspicious, though. I don't think you're one of America's most wanted. Are you? Hmmmm...
If you find a portrait of Lady Gaga BEFORE she began to wear strange things, you'll see me as a teenager!
ReplyDeleteNo, Birdman, no one has ever confused me for someone else. Everyone else has a bottom to their face.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I ave a doppelgänger, but I do share my name with a woman who once lived in Colorado Springs.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought these were milkshake mixers.
ReplyDeleteI would pity the person who looks like me. I would pay for the surgery.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a twin but I have someone who has a twin name: Kate Mura, young, talented actress. Google her, if you want to check it out.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who has seen thy visage? Can't be. Seems that I remember some other CDP visitors to Portland. (No one ever comes to St. Louis.)
ReplyDeleteI don't look like anybody. It's a somewhat obscure reference, but as time goes on my brother looks more and more like Missouri Governor Jay Nixon.
I have been told I look just like my father. The ultimate compliment for me, the ultimate relief for him...
ReplyDeleteI can picture you, from those suggestions. Me, I look like no one. Or everyone.
ReplyDeleteGene Shalit too.
