Yeah, there are times I’d be annoyed by a clone. I’ve got two younger brothers, and it bugs me when I see them imitating me.
We could form our own band. But only if I didn’t punch her in the throat first. God, I hate her.
Well, since clones already exsist (identical twins) you may want to ask them if they annoy eachother.
I doubt identical twins ever have a “there can be only one” moment and they both pretty much have their own personalities.
And if you did manage to clone yourself through modern science your clone would be a newborn. So maybe you’d be annoyed by them crying in the middle of the night.
I think that I’d get real tired of people asking:
*"How can you live with yourself??"*
Heh, blondebear.
My clone might annoy me, but I think mostly I’d be quite fond of her. After all, I love myself far more than anyone else has ever loved me or ever will.
Not unless the bastard got me fired from my job. While, I sit on my lazy ass drinking Margaritas all day.
Hey, you know what would be cool about it though? I could have sex with my (hypothetical) girlfreind; then after we’re done I could excuse myself to the bathroom then have my clone go back in my place so he could handle all the luvy-duvy talk and spooning. While, I head off to the bar for some beers!
[shakes fist] Give me my clone damn you! [/shakes fist]
Well, your clone would be born as a baby, so you’d sort of have to wonder whether you would have liked yourself as a snivelling or colicky kid. Then in later periods of its development, you’d be able to see how it develops both in ways you did and didn’t.
I don’t see the interest of a clone of myself, personally. I like myself enough, and I like my unicity.
Living with a clone would also be very different from living with an identical twin, who shares all of your experiences as well as your genes.
Seriously, I’d go gay for me.
I’d kill the lazy slob inside of a week.
Bummer if you lose the coin toss though.
If the only way to get a clone is as a baby, it couldn’t be you, could it? He or she would not have been born when you were, have any of your memories or experiences, not have your education and accumulated knowledge, and would not grow up with your parents and relatives. They wouldn’t be any more you than your reflection in the mirror. It would be a whole other person who looks like you, but is not you. No different than having your own kid.
I get the feeling that the OP was having some fun with the idea of there being another one of you, like you are now. A replica.
I’d kick my clone in the nuts probably within a few hours of meeting him.
Come to think of it, no I wouldn’t. I’m a vindictive, plotting bastard, and if I kicked me in the nuts I’d probably spend quite a while figuring out how to have my revenge…and my revenge is never simply “eye for an eye” I include punitive damages
omigawd - my clone would not only not annoy me, but think of how much faster the weekend chores would get done?
or more accurately, I’d finally have someone to play marathon seesions of Monopoly with (attention “grammar nazis” - leave me alone - I *like * ending using prepositions to end sentances with)
Yeah I know I have annoying habits. Who doesn’t? - But with a clone, I could be in two places at once, run more errands, etc etc etc.
(best of all, play pranks on any guy I might be dating <eg>)
The only thing I’d require is that we somehow be linked telepathically, so we’d always know what was going on in my life, and never miss out on anything (we) I did
At first, it would rock. After a while, I think it might wind up like that Rimmer-clone scenario from Red Dwarf. I’m too annoying and neurotic to get along well with myself.
:eek: :smack:
ok - you can pit me for that sentance, i suppose
OP’er here.
Personally, I abhor self-aggrandizing people. Vanity is sinful and bragging is deplorable. However, there is nothing wrong with my taking satisfaction in hearing people’s praise of my clone’s painfully good looks and horse-like endowment.
…and don’t any of you dyslexic wiseacres post that I meant to say painful endowment and horse-like good looks…
If my clone was available at this age and size, I don’t think I want to see what my ass looks like from behind…ever.
I already annoy myself, why should my clone be any different?
truth be told, I’d much rather clone my friend’s husband…
Would that be considered Masterbation?
