There used to be a little boy in my neighborhood who looked, dressed and talked exactly like Bobby from _King Of The Hill._ Everyone knew him because he used to go to all the houses asking if he could mow their lawns. I swear they should have been paying this kid royalties. ---

I know a guy who lookd, talks, and ACTS just like Kyle’s cousin, Kyle, from South Park (the ep. where Kyle becomes Kyle 2 because his cousin is Kyle.) And yes…this person is Jewish. He even does the annoying, ‘breathing through his mouth’ thing. ---

I used to work with a guy who reminded me so much of Earl from the _Dinosaurs_ TV show: big middle-aged guy, big lumpy jaw, the mannerisms, everything. It was weird. ---

The vice principal of my high school was universally known as “Porky” – as in Pig. He was a dead ringer. ---

This reminds me of someone on another board that pointed out that Kari (from Mythbusters) looks just like Gadget from the Rescue Rangers cartoon. Uncanny. ---

Seriously, pictures people pictures. I will begin carrying around my digital camera from this day forward in case of a siting. Promises from all to do the same. This could get ever ugly…er funny. ---

Twice in two days, I’ve seen a guy in the elevator who looked precisely like [Penfold](http://www.dangermouse.org/images/dm+penfold/penfold.jpg) from Dangermouse. No neck, chubby, one collar point turned up, horn-rimmed glasses, the works. ---

There is a wrestler, Sean O’Hare, that looks like an anime character. [Only pic I could find in a hurry](http://www.onzuka.com/Photos/Sean%20O'Hare.jpg) ---

Many, many people have told me I look like the comic-book version of Clark Kent, minus the horn rims. Absolutely no one has mentioned Superman. ---

Ooh! I used to work with a guy who looked like a living, breathing Clark Kent: A salesman. Flippy little 'do, dark rimmed glasses, shirt-and-tie – totally Clark Kent – except he was massive from weight-training, so he looked more like what Superman would have _actually_ looked like if he tried to masquerade as a milquetoast. Incidentally, this guy once returned some company literature to me into which were inserted a few Polaroids that he and his girlfriend had taken of each other while they were having sex. Eek. ---

I used to work with a guy who looked like **Morocco Mole** from the old **Secret Squirrel** cartoon. Put a fez, and small glasses on him, and the resemblance would be complete. ---
