> [@buns3000](#): > > No, but hopefully it will be SOP for people to not take it too seriously when somebody posts a “Piss-On-Bush-Some-Manner” comment in a jocular way in a MPSIMS thread. Well said. Hey, it could have been worse—they could have said “hey, you look just like Bobby Kennedy!” ::shudder:: ---

When I was at my thinnest, I was often mistaken for Alyson Hannigan (of course, until one got up close). I think it’s the red hair and the mannerism which are eerily similar to her character Willow. Hey, I’ve been \*me \* my whole life, and someone had to point out to me that “Hey, you talk and move around just like Willow!” Which I of course thought they meant [this guy](http://www.lepconnie.com/willow/pictures/pics/vid158.jpg). It was a bit disconcerting until someone cleared it up. I still don’t see it, but it’s better than [him](http://www.lepconnie.com/willow/pictures/pics/vid059.jpg). ---

My cousin Cherie used to date a guy who looked like Russell Crowe. It ended badly. He never called! ---

If the Real Russell Crowe reads this, leave the trophy wife and I’ll take good care of you. I liked ‘Proof of Life’. - except for the Meg ryan romance bit in there - :rolleyes: ---

So today, out of the blue, the guy who parks my car said “Do you know what movie star you look like? Russell Crowe.” I’ve never heard this before and now this is twice in a week. I think I need a hair cut or a shave or something. ---

Seven can’t spell Australia. Russel Crowe probably can’t spell anything. Seven wasn’t born in Australia. Neither was Russel Crowe. … the plot thickens! ---

I should fix that. I had several typos on the thing (“Stared in Gladiator”) I’m the typo king but something about photoshop and a laptop really brings it out. ---

Ok. I fixed number 3 and added number 6. You might have to refresh to see it. ---

_snerk_ That’s hilarious. FWIW, I think you’re cuter than Russel Crowe. But why were you throwing radios at children? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-not-russell-crowe-but-thanks-for-asking/321083.md?page=2)
