bloggery gone awry: Hello Carl.

Hello Carl.

Today someone sat beside me in public and was just about to start up a conversation with me until I looked them in the eyes and they stopped abruptly and apologized. "Sorry, though you were someone else" they said, "you look like my friend Carl".

See, the weird thing is that this is the third time that someone has mistaken me for Carl. Once in Waterloo, once in Toronto and then just today in Ottawa. The next time I'm mistaken for this guy I will make an attempt to find out a bit more about Carl.

It would be appreciated if everyone reading this would keep a look-out for a JGarlough look-a-like who answers to the name "Carl". I ran my mugshot through a face recognition program to give you a better idea of some of the facial features that Carl and I share with some other well-known characters...

...look for a mix between George Michael, Ted Bundy, David Schwimmer and Nina Persson. Think "Faithful serial killing sitcom lovefool. WHAM!!"

It could be worse. You could resemble John Tesh. Think about it.

I've got a guy like that in Vancouver... though I've been told by many people who have confused us that he's much more built than I am. erm. suck it.

Not sure I'll go with the face recognition approach... friend of mine gave it a shot and received the following matches (based on this please sketch your best guess and post it and I'll let you know if you're close):

Colin Powell
Rehavam Zeevi
Harry Turtledove
Olusegun Obasanjo
Klaus Von Klitzing
Jean Baudrillard
Kim Jong Il
Wole Soyinka
