More famous people I look like

[featherynscale]

In which the list gets longer, but doesn't get any better.

See, this morning, I was looking in the mirror, and it dawned on me. I have a face like a frog. I said as much to triadruid, who was just getting out of the shower.

"Hrm...,"he mused, "Yeah, you kind of do look like a frog. Mr. Frog."
"Who's Mr. Frog?" I ask.
Him: "The guy from The Wind in the Willows. With the sportscar."
Me: "Mr. Toad?"
Him: "Yeah. You kind of look like Mr. Toad. Or... um... the guy on DangerMouse, sometimes.... Cyrus? Silas?"
Me: "Baron Greenback!?!"
Him: "Yeah. Him. But only when you smile."
Me: "Here's a hint, buddy. If you want to get laid, the way not to go about it is to tell your girlfriend she looks like Baron Greenback. I mean, you can probably say that to your wife, since I don't think she knows who Baron Greenback is..."
Him: "Only a little. I mean, you're not green, and you don't wear a suit."
Me: ::smack!:: "Well, I guess it's better than Aleister Crowley."
Him: "It's kind of the same. I think like Mr. Toad + Aleister Crowley = Baron Greenback."

Ah, well. I suppose we all know the gods did not shape me and place me on this earth to be ornamental.

I don't think you look like a frog at all, and I'm not even (particularly) trying to get laid.

That said, I bear a spooky resemblance to Frau Farbissina today, and not in any way that gives me pleasure. Ugh.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

There are ways in which you could look like Frau Farbissina that would give you pleasure?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Ehhh. I wasn't fully awake at the time, but I was thinking more along the lines of devious glee, than any actual resemblance to amphibians.

However, you do have a hell of a tongue (and yes, I am trying to get laid, why do you ask?)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Eh he. Uh huh. You're gonna have to do better than that, babydoll.

I would probably forgive you if you would take me out for oysters.

See other post for plots to get laid back in your good graces...

Perhaps that should read "to be solely ornamental." There's nothing wrong with having more to offer than just looks.

I've been told I have chipmunk cheeks, alien toes and skeletal fingers, none of which were complimentary. My sisters once said my nose looks like an upside-down pitcher spout and several members of my family have told me I'm fat (which I don't think I am). (Aren't relatives fantastic?)

And I don't know who Baron Greenback is, but Mr. Toad was cute!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, relatives. Gems from my mother include the famous "Don't you think you ought to do something about your weight?", as well as "You have a butt like the back end of a car", "You could show drive-in movies on your butt", and "At what point did you decide to start dressing like Ellen DeGeneres? It's no wonder you can't get a date.".

Also, I have monkey toes. But that's per wildnsquirrelly, who happens to be correct.

Congratulations!

If there is a prize for "Worst Comments Made by Your Mother" I think you just won it.

Yeesh.

Re: Congratulations!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

The worst part is that I am sure I haven't.

My mom has lobbed a few nice ones at me, too. My favorite is the day she looked at me and said, in reference to the small mole over my left eye, "When are you going to get that ugly thing removed? I'll pay to have it done." It never bothered me before that- she gave me a short-lived complex.

Re: Congratulations!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Wow. Lovely. I didn't know you had a mole over your left eye. Hadn't noticed.

I suppose moms are immune to this sort of thing, but I always find MUCH more interesting things to look at when Tara is in sight...no offense to zerself intended!

my thought after reading this:

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

Wicked Glee turnes me on, sounds like that is what he was trying to describe.

Re: my thought after reading this:

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I'm a big fan of Wicked Glee, myself. I am willing to accept that this might have been what he meant, but only if there's restitution made (see above).

[malvito.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I don't look at you and see Mr. Toad. For one thing, I could never be turned on by an amphibian. For another thing, for me, Mr. Toad is a Disney character, and, while I'm sure that going to Disneyland with you would be an intresting experience, to say the least (ah, the thoughts of bringing new meaning to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride), I just don't see you as a Disney character. (well, maybe Jessica Rabbit, in some aspects, but note that she's not one of the costumed characters you se in the park.)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

If I were going to be a Disney theme-park character, Mr. Toad is right up there on the list of characters I'd choose, actually.

And I'm not sure if I am any fun to go to DisneyLand with. I've had some theme-park experiences that may be outside of the realm of games you want to play :)

[malvito.livejournal.com]

=-) Oooooooo, sounds interesting!!!

[teross50.livejournal.com]

Who ever it is you look like. I like how you look. Have since the first day I saw you smile.
If you ever worry about the image in the mirror. Please come inside my head and peer out at you and see the beauty I see.

One of the many who finds you to be that sweet allure
