So I'm at a party Friday night and a guy tells me

[swimboy]

I look just like a celebrity but he can't think of the name. He has my attention, okay, who, what were they in? Ice Pirates, he says. Never heard of it. He goes to look it up on imdb.com

Got it, he says.

Who? I say.

Bruce Vilanch.

I just don't see it, myself.

[terrya]

1. That guy must have some problems with his vision.

You look nothing like Bruce Vilanch.

[swimboy]

10. terrya!

:hi: :hug:

[AlCzervik]

2. well you both wear glasses.

seriously-no you don't look anything like Bruce Vilanch.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. I worked with Bruce Vilanch 30-odd years ago....

You look absolutely nothing like him, even as a young man.

If anyone wonders, he was a total nut and a nice guy.

[swimboy]

6. I tried to find some younger pictures of him but couldn't

And there's just not a lot of information about "Ice Pirates"!

Thanks for letting me know your opinion. I bet he is a riot to be around!

[Patiod]

4. Uh, no

not at all.....

[mikeytherat]

5. Wow. Whatever that guy was on, I don't want any!

On an related topic, I noticed recently that Mr. Swim resembles Neil Finn quite a bit. Am I the last person in the world to notice this?

7. Well, you've never said anything about it.

I'm chuffed about having Wednesday night off this week!

[mikeytherat]

15. Well, I've only recently gotten to putting the Crowded House on the iPod

so I noticed the album photos and made the connection. I burned the Split Enz stuff some time ago, but must not have been paying attention to the photos.

I, too, am chuffed, about Wednesday (though I still think Stan's explanation about CARITAS is a bunch of codswallop).

19. I look exactly like one of the bandmembers of Madness

in a picture in the album's inner sleeve. I used to be able to tell people that it WAS me. I'll try to bring it some time.

[mikeytherat]

23. Cool! And thanks for using "chuffed" as I've been wanting to use

"codswallop" for some time, and this provided the right opportunity!

[JackBeck]

8. Not even close.

Does he even know what Bruce Vilanche looks like??

[swimboy]

12. Well, he saw "Ice Pirates"

??? :shrug: ???

Hi, Jack! :hi:

[JackBeck]

17. Oh, yeah.

You said that.

D'oh.

:hi: , swimboy!

[LisaM]

9. Remind me never to go to a party with THAT guy

First, it's bad enough that he says you look like Bruce Vilanch, which you clearly DON'T, but worse, he walks away during a party and goes and looks something up on a computer?

Was he wearing a T-Shirt that said, "I'm a total rude dork and I have no friends"?

[swimboy]

It's odd but we didn't talk a whole lot after that.

[billyskank]

11. Never heard of him

He must be a handsome sonofabitch, then. ;)

:hi:

[swimboy]

14. That's nice of you to say!

He played Edna Turnblad in "Hairspray"

:hi: billy!

[Courtesy Flush]

13. Sure he didn't recognize you from America's Most Wanted?

[swimboy]

16. Uh-oh

I remember now I wasn't supposed to post a picture for a while.

:hide:

[Little Wing]

18. A very young Tobin Bell

[swimboy]

21. From wikipedia: Bell often plays the role of a villain and serial killer

I have some research to do now.

same eyes and mouth, to me anyways

[swimboy]

25. I see it too.

Interesting to think that's what I may look like in a few years. Thanks.

[Sanity Claws]

20. You're a handsome fellow

Bruce should be glad that you two supposedly look alike.

[swimboy]

22. Maybe I should see if he needs a stunt double.

Thanks! :hi:

[Bucky]

26. "You remind me of Bruce Vilanch" is the worst pick up line ever!

If you're gonna drop a celebrity name, at least say "Grace Jones"

[swimboy]

30. Acckk!

:spray:

[tigereye]

27. isn't Bruce portly and balding?

you are neither!

He is quite funny, though.

I would run for the hills.

[graywarrior]

28. WTF?! No freakin way.

WTF? Jesus, I'm stunned. Jesus looks more like Bruce.

[ThomCat]

29. That guy's a blind fool.

And that's a really, really hot picture of you. :9

[swimboy]

31. ThomCat!

B-)

Thanks, man! :P

[MonkeyFunk]

32. No

you don't look like Bruce Vilanch. You appear to be a good-looking guy. Vilanch is... um... very funny.

[sundog]

33. great pic sb

:thumbsup:

[Shine]

34. Well, I never saw the movie, but what a handsome young man you are.

:hi: swimboy!

[xchrom]
