That is hilarious -- I missed that in September, somehow. Thanks.

Huh?  that just came out today.

oops, I misread the date as September rather than December -- damn this screen filter!

Uncanny resemblance. Either that or Mark's been leading a double life.

Uncanny resemblance. Either that or Mark's been leading a double life.

from wiki:

"Doppelgänger" has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin". The literal translation of the German word is "doublewalker", meaning someone who is acting (e.g. walking) the same way as another person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance

We all are familiar, and sometimes afflicted, with this malady...

so that doppelgänger is to blame for my back trouble!

I see the resemblance but it's not nearly so strinking to me (and I can look into a mirror while I type this to doublecheck), he does kinda have my crooked nose though, but mine goes the opposite way.  Needs more gray hair.

Ever since I saw Juno, where McSweeney's gets referenced, I've been meaning to go back, and this one is worth posting here:

Ways I've Let Down Popular Musicians.
by  John Moe

- - - -

Disappointed Chrissie Hynde by continuing to sob.

Permitted sun to go down on Elton John, thus failing him.

Failed to heed warning to stop in the name of love, broke Diana Ross's heart.

Was cruel to a heart that was true, much to the chagrin of Elvis Presley.

Stopped prior to getting enough, despite urging to the contrary by Michael Jackson.

Spoke even when told not to by Gwen Stefani.

Stopped believin', let go of the feelin', thereby enraging Steve Perry.

Clutched it too tightly, lost control, resulting in tersely worded letter from .38 Special.

Said "never"; Romeo Void merely shook their heads sadly.

Got together with only a few people, made no effort to love one another, received awkward phone call from the Youngbloods.

Monkees left at the station with only their worries after I missed the last train to Clarksville.

Failed to feel the noize, which doesn't seem like my fault, but Quiet Riot was still peeved.

Stayed perfectly sane, leaving Prince to go crazy by himself, which actually worked out best for everyone.

Went changing to try to please Billy Joel. Total fiasco.

That's genius, especially the Romeo Void line.  But I wonder why he went with QR instead of Slade?
