Well I confess, I know that I need to lose weight. Actually, so far this year I have lost enough weight that I need to take my belt in one hole further. However, even though I understand that I am overweight, it is in no way a compliment to tell me that I resemble John Candy. For those of you who were fans of is, I mean no disrespect - but c’mon! :eek:
That is all.
John Candy is pretty cool man. I’d be eternally greatful they didn’t say you look like Chris Farley. John Candy was way classier IMO. Have you seen pics of his wife?
Might cheer you up 
Good point Copaesthetic. 
I know the feelilng. Two different people who could not have possibly known each other told me I looked like Christopher Cross.:eek:
But that was 15 years ago.
Don’t feel bad. John Candy was an awesome guy.
And as far as big guys go, my boyfriend has been compared to John Goodman. I don’t know whether he should take that as a compliment or an insult!
So, Skerri, How you doin?
I like most of the big guys of comedy: John Belushi, Farley, Candy… Hey! Are they all dead?
Then there’s Horatio Sanz of SNL. He really cracks me up. Just his face does it! 
Heh heh heh… Just fine, Khadaji, just fine.
Ok. You’ve got me. I admit it here and now. I have a thing for ‘big’ guys.
Guys like:
The Big Show
The Boyfriend
Ice Cube
Drew Carey
Kevin James
The list would probably go on and on, but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.
My last girlfriend had a thing for big men - she said it made her feel safe. None-the-less, I’m still planning to continue taking off the weight.
So, is there a .jpg around somewhere? I’d like to see for myself.
[hijack] A few days ago one of my teachers told me “You must get this a lot, but I really think you look like that kid from the Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment” I considered hitting her in the face with a shovel, it would have to improve her eyesight. Anyone else get compared to an unflattering celebrity?[/hijack]
For the record, I am 6’0", 175 lbs. and look nothing like Haley Joel Osment for those of you who were wondering.
I’d be more worried about the sounding-like-Cathy-Guisewite thing.
Happy
John Candy had a BEAUTIFUL smile.
I’ve had several people tell me I look like Dr. Green from ER (Michael Anthony or Anthony Micheal? I can never remember which it is) Anyway, that wouldn’t normally bother me too much, except I rarely saw ER. When I think of this guy, I remember him as one of the main nerds in “Revenge of the Nerds”.
Anthony Edwards. He was in “Miracle Mile” too, which is better than it sounds.
As to the OP, I’ve been told I look like “A wax statue of Mr. Clean that had been put in an oven”, so take your consolation where you may.
Besides, man, YOU NEVER MISSED!
LOL. Nice to see someone else read the book. I have often wondered if it would translate well into a movie. (Took me a minute to get it, I’m embarassed to say…)
Maybe that is what she meant. I have been told I have a nice smile. I just got a passport and the cute young woman taking the picture told me I had a “great grin.”
Well, I can send you one if you would like - else I don’t know where I would post.
Well, yeah, but he was ALSO Goose in Top Gun, that’s kinda cool (except he died…)
You think being compared to Haley Joel Osment is unflattering? Maybe you don’t look like him, but is there something wrong with blue-eyed blonds who have good bone structure and even teeth*? Who do you think is goodlooking? Seriously, I’m not gonna go to the Pit over this; I’m just amazed that you would take that as an insult.
*You’ll notice that he’s finally lost the overbite. Clearly not a little kid anymore; as I mentioned in Cafe Society, he just turned 15.
