There’s a ton of other threads, but I’ve seen a few of you cats, thanks to Shayna and Techie, who remind me of other people. For instance:

Brachyrhynchos - Barbara Streisand (It’s the eyes, and yes, I think Babs is a hottie.)  
ChrisP One Kenobe - John Leguizamo (I have no idea why)  
Coldfire - Geddy Lee.  
Diane - Lita Ford  
Eve - That goddess who visits me in my dreams every night.  
Evil Twin - Drew Barrymore  
Frannie - Jan Hooks  
Freak Freely - That guy from the movies, you know?  
Gatsby - Dennis Quaid  
GaWd - Rick James  
JimB - Paul Lynde?  
Lexicon - Ted Bundy  
Satan - Jesus  
Shayna - That other goddess who visits me in my dreams every night.  
Sue Duhnum - Rita Rudner (It’s in dem eyes)  
Surgoshan - The Green Smiley on FFF  
Tymp - Azrael Abyss (prince of sorrows)  
Wanderlust - Patrick Stewart (duh!)  
weirddave - Bobcat Goldthwait

Anyone else spotted ringers?

[blushing prettily]

Well, I have been told, on different occasions and by people of varying mental stabilities, that I look like: Cher, Connie Selleca, John Wilkes Booth, Beatrice Lillie, Kay Kendall (oh, please, yes!), Ruth Etting, Frank Zappa (too accurate, I fear) and (by a senile old lady) Patsy Cline.

Me, I’ll vote for Dream Goddess.

Yep. I thought the same thing. His name is [Philip Seymour Hoffman](http://us.imdb.com/PGallery?Hoffman,+Philip+Seymour). And Freak Freely, he stole your face.

While I admire Geddy Lee for many things, being called a lookalike is hardly a compliment! Surely, I’m at least marginally more handsome than Geddy??

Nah, just be amused 🙂

A couple of you I just slipped in there for a laugh. Yes, you included, Coldy.

Whoops, hit send too fast.

I agree about Tymp as well. (Dunno what that says about me, though, since he is on my crush list). 🙂

A lot of people tell me that I look like Tom Green. Go to SDMBPP and check me out. What do you think, do I?

MSK – you do a little. But not strikingly similar or anything.

Does anyone else think Shayna looks like Ashley Judd?

I thought Coldfire had a “Chandler Bing” quality about him, myself.

Chandler Bing? Well, it beats looking like Geddy Lee 😃

FWIW, I think [Obfusciatrist](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/obfusciatrist.html) resembles a young Will Riker in this picture. Sorry for being such an SF geek…

Mr. Cynical, I have never been compared to him before, but it just so happens that my brother is his biggest fan(who gives a rats ass?!?) Without my glasses on, people have said that I look like Ralph Machio(sp?) the karate kid.  
Also, I assume you mean that as a compliment?

Ladies and gents, we have a winner!

Good call, Coldy, I couldn’t place him!

I personally, and not trying to get brownie point here, thought Shayna resembled Jackie O if she’d ever dyed her hair red. Same . . . well, appearance and joi de vivre.

Yeesh, other people get complimenting ones, but I get **this**?! I don’t look like him, he looks like Al Franken. And I look like a six foot tall leprechaun.

And has anyone else noticed that techchick looks sorta like Bridget Fonda?

I thought that Techie looked like Jodie Foster, but Bridget Fonda works just as well.

I think Reservoir Dog looks an awful lot like Vince Vaughn. (yummmm)
