More famous people I look like

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.

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.

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!
