This picture that a friend of mine sent me freaks me out every time I look at it. I have no idea who this guy is but he looks almost exactly like I did not too many years ago. I showed the photo to my grandniece and she she, "Hey that's you!" I said, "No, actually it's not." "Yes IT IS!" she said. I had to point out that my eye brows are a bit thick but not that thick, that my hair is longer, the veins in my arms stick out differently and my ears are a shaped a little differently . Besides, I have no idea what that posture is about. :lol:

Do you have a perfect double out there?

    I've never seen her, but my perfect double seems to live in Calgary, and she must be popular. I've had at least 20 people over the years tell me I look exactly like this person they know who lives in Calgary. Pretty weird!

    Brian, that guy does look exactly like you! :lol:

    Maybe someday one of those people will send you photo. I'm not sure how it would be to meet my (almost) exact double. Pretty weird I'd think!

    My perfect double was when I was in College.
    People would start conversations with me,
    Whom I didn't know.Some would say,Hey Lisa.I would reply,No.It's Donna.
    Damn you look just like her.A P.E. Teacher aproached me one day,And told me I have a twin on Campus.
    She looks like you ,Talks like you,And even Laughs like you. You can find her down on the field during practice if you want to meet her. I never did.I was too chicken! I never met my Father.

    black diamond is very simliar to my dad. they have same glasses even.

    one of my doctors has a double as if his twin brother but they are not related as i asked my doc.


    i know two guys in town who are not related at all but look almost exactly the same... probably 85% - 90% identical. and they looked more like each other the younger they were. today they may look a bit different.

    nearby me there is a dude who shares my first & last name.

    when living in western washington several ppl stopped me on the street & thought i was this one fuckin guy. turns out this dude was not very nice. he had been in trouble before & it turns out women were kinda scared of him. i know this because i asked this lady out who cut my hair & her boss told her don't go w/ him he is bad, blah blah blah. that aint me. i never been to jail or prison and never been nasty w/ women & at least 3 people thought i was him. fucker!

    That would have been a rough spot to be in.
    I have a friend who got beat down within an inch of his life in a bar bathroom in Alberta Canada a few years back. It was a bad scene, total case of mistaken identity. Some bad dudes seen him, followed him into the shitter. Those fuckers beat the fuck out of him with the toilet tank lids after kicking the shit out of him. It was horrible. Buddy was in intensive care more months and those fucks were never ever caught.

    Sad but a very true story

    i am sorry about that. that sounds very horrible. how anyone can do something likethat is beyond me.

    i have a buddy who was beat down to within an itch of his life because some bikers saw his t-shirt that read something like 99% party 1% work... big metal flashlights, brass knuckles, pipes & steel toe boots.... intensive care for months & several surgeries. he aint the 1% so they made sure he took off his bullshit t-shirt.

    why attend a motorcycle ralley type thing when you know every motorcycle club/gang in the country will be there? i'd never in a billion years attend sturgis or the like... btw, this happened in iowa not at sturgis.

    I apparently have a double named "Isabella". People have come up to me at the mall, on the beach and at bars and started conversations with me. It got to the point I was worried I had another personality :? :lol:

    Zoso has an identical twin, so he does have a double. One time a girl his brother had dated went up to him in the grocery store yelling at him for something his brother had done. :lol:

    Doppleganger!

    That's the word for this, no? Either way, I love it.

    I've come across varieties of doubles of people I know/have seen - but have never thought it was them to the point of body movement, speech, energy - the general sense of the person.

    Funny timing though - other day I was watching People's Court and could've sworn PoD was in the "audience"...but with glasses, full beard and 'stache - almost like a disguise :mrgreen:

    Am I the only one that first thought this was about boobs?? :fp:
  • I was walking through the airport in Chicago back around 2002 when some guy came running up and asked me to sign an autograph. Turns out he thought i was some quarterbaxk for the bears or something.. I was so baffled and caught of guard I just didn't know what to say. I think I obviously said "I dont think I'm the person you're thinking of."

    And he got all pissed off and said "you could just say NO, you don't have to be a dick about it!"

    So somebody out there thinks the bears ex quarterback is an asshole.

    Sounds like it's the other guy at the airport who is the asshole! Maybe you should have told him to go out long... and keep going. :lol:

    :lol: Yeah, the guy was so adamant about it, that it was creepy.

    This thread is interesting by the way.. coincidentally, I heard the end of an interview on the radio of some guy who was doing a book of random doppelgangers (of people who are regular folks, not celebrities)

    I've had people come up to me and just start talking like they know me...sometimes I play along, they usually don't like that once they figure it out. :lol:

    Been told I look like some famous people...I don't see it.

    I lived in an apt. Complex once,And there was this guy right across from me who looked just like Richard Prior.
    One Day I mentioned it to him. And he replied with," You look like Tracy Ullman" (Really?)
    It wasn't long after he said that,that several people mentioned it. One guy even followed me and my son around in a Target Store,Swearing that I was in fact her.I don't know if thats a good thing or not. She is hella funny. :lol::lol:
