As a nice Jewish boy when I was in my teens I was told I looked like Cousin Larry from Perfect Twins.



In my twenties during the grunge period when I grew my hair out and had a goatee I was told I looked like Jesus.

Cousin Larry (I suck with attachments)

I am buddies with a guy who, after he left the Air Force grew his hair out and had a beard. He looked like many of the Jesus paintings. We played softball together. When the ball was hit his way it was common for the team to yell, "Jesus".

I've been told I look a little like Garrison Keillor.

When I was a young teen with long hair, I was told I looked like David Cassidy. Even had a couple of pre-teen girls ask for my autograph because they actually thought I was him. My longest-term girlfriend (three years) before I met and married my wife claimed I looked like young Clint Eastwood, specifically my eyes. When my wife first saw now Senator Mark Kelly after his wife was shot, she claimed I looked like him (or he looked like me). I think that's mostly because we both shaved our heads though. In other words, I don't have one since I can't look like all three of those people! :)

I’ve been told I look like Peter Krause when he was on that show “Parenthood” and have also been told I resemble Tom Brady. I don’t think they look similar.

Probably the most accurate isn’t as famous, but I can totally see it. David Wiley, former Runner’s World Editor in Chief

Steve Spurrier, former Florida and South Carolina coach. My bride walked by the kitchen table and saw the sports page I had left there, with a picture of Spurrier at his introductory press conference after he was named coach at South Carolina. “What’s your picture doing in the paper?”

I didn’t see it but she was convinced. She later saw him on tv during a game and wasn’t as convinced but she said, “He’s definitely got your scowl down.”

I got an upgrade to First Class once on a flight out of Denver because the female desk/gate attendant mistook me for John Lynch current General Manager of the Sanfrancisco 49'ers...

I'm coming back from the lavatory and she makes eye contact and waves me over to the desk and proceeds to quietly say: "I know who you are..." Then she elaborates and asks me if I'd like to move to First Class (I guess she's thinking I bought one of the last seats on the flight..., which was accurate). I say: "Thank you" ... 😎 Didn't want to break her heart with the truth and the extra leg room sounded good... 🤣

Can you help a brother out on how to add an image? Wondering if I’m using the wrong kinda link or doing it wrong on this site. So for instance I google Tom Brady. I see a picture of him don’t I just copy and paste the address into the little picture thingy on here? I’m feeling like my mom right now.

When I was in college, at the urging of my friends, I wore a black t-shirt, a tweed jacket, and black sunglasses to a Halloween party and went as Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
We are the same age. I aged. He didn't.

I saw a picture of Russel Vought the other day that kinda freaked me out. Was like looking in the mirror. It wasn't this one, but this is close:

The resemblance isn't as striking in other photos, but you could recognize me in the wild from this (except my beard and hair are white).

When you post, there is a 'picture' icon between the 'link' icon and a 'smiley face' on top of the box you type in.

You'll need to click on that and paste in the photo url/link.

To get that, go to any photo online, right-click on it and click 'copy image address.' Paste that into the box that pops up when you click on the 'image' or 'picture tabe.

White hair is a choice.

My hair and beard were dark until I got married.

I started going gray in my teens, right about the time I met my wife to be. It's 40 some years later, it's mostly white with a bit of gray. And to top it off, she's shy of 2 years older than me, but is one of those redheads that doesn't really gray. She's looked 10-15 years younger than me for the last 20 years.

I think she's a succubus TBH.

Problem was I couldn't figure it out on my mobile but once I used my PC it was easy to right click copy image address. Thanks for the help.
