Dan Perry. He and I both have a goiter the size of golf ball, but otherwise we could not be more unlike.

So fucking awesome.

Now I know what it feels like to be Chuck Woolery.

Chuck Woolery posts here?

Me and Homo II + GuntherHeartymeal (or Bones and Dinkers, or, whatever they are calling themselves these days)

1) Share genetics. Also: parents, hometown, and a love of chips and salsa.

Booyah, I need not go further.

There is...another.

Hello. I prefer the "original one."

hi!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh wait. Three Wright sisters has to be a wonderful thing.

Better than three Wrong ones, at least.

― caitlin (caitlin), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 19:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow, I didn't even know there was a third sister! It all seems too good to be true!

I will probably not reveal myself very often. Like a locust.

We all look forward to meeting your parents, whom I'm sure I'll have loads and loads in common with. Apart from my lack of residual Greeley-stink.

So far as I know, ILX contains one person who grew up where I grew up, one person who's also Ethiopian, one person who works where I used to work, and loads of people who like various stuff that I like. The best I can say is that I think Jaymc is living the kind of laid-back Chicago rock-sans-roll lifestyle I aspired to. Also bnw and I are both corny indie fuxxors with MFAs. But then so is Colin Meloy, and we're both much cooler than him.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, I have an MFA. Score.

― Jacqui Pickles (Jacqui Pickles), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't. Suck.

Personality-wise, I recognise bits of myself in Gareth, Anna and Stevem most of all, I think. RickyT and I seem to agree on everything ever, but the person that springs most immediately to mind is N. Which is weird seeing as I've only met him twice.

- We grew up in the same part of London
- We're both half-Indian*
- We both had the same music teacher, five or six years apart
- Could both do with putting on a few pounds, frankly
- Both prone to moments of high sentimentality and complete foppish idiocy
- Regrettable tendency to wind up Barry
- Similar taste in music. And, I think, women, although I have no way of proving this
- Tottenham are still a big club

*I am right about this, aren't I?

I'm sure there are as many differences as similarities here though. It only really came to mind when Anna mentioned it once.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:31 (nineteen years ago) link

actually, RickyT is about as close as I could get to someone who is a bit like me. I apologise to Rick for saying that, but I think the two things we have in common beyond some vaguely similar tastes in music and books, which is true for lots of other people, is our interest in science (his far more expert than mine) and being bi. He's one of the people I find easiest to talk to, on all sorts of levels.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I used to have moments of sync with N way way long ago, particularly when people were talking about penises. Plus we've both had dealings with black journalists' associations. I'm less handsome, though. If someone from ILX had to visually impersonate me, the closest you could get would probably be Tannenbaum Schmidt, unless you could fatten Toby up and roast him in a tanning booth.

Ned and I both have dozens of illegitimate children scattered throughout eastern Europe.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:45 (nineteen years ago) link

To clarify even further- I don't have anything in common with scott except for the handful of trivial things I listed up top and I think we are probably exact opposites aside from this intersection set of measure zero.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I like how "parents" has become a member of the set "weird things" on this thread.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:56 (nineteen years ago) link

dan is nothing like me, in any way shape or form.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 20:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Like almost every other male ILXor, I have testicles!

are there any other ilxers who grew up in southern california who moved to seattle and stayed?

noop.

any other greek/canadian/scots via the states here?

noop.

that's about as unique enough as i get to warrant comparisons for the purpose of this thread..

I recently discovered (and even though I was a huge fan of his at the time) that Tim Ellison and I attended University together! Very funny and great in retrospect. He also mentioned that I (unknowingly) probably saw his band play more than a few times.

NOT FAIR! I don't know what I'm missing!

In other news, are there any other weather buffs around here? I think Ned is.

I was trying to figure out someone to mention in this thread, but I can't! I guess I'm too weird or something. ;)

Eep! I forgot to mention geography! There's a reason why I went to the State Geography Bee twice (and would've gone a third time easily had I not purposefully sabotaged myself, but that's another story).

I was going to mention that me and ken c both:

a) like talking about poo.
b) get excited about videogames.
c) want a fight.

But then I realised that's probably true of 75% of all men.

OMIGOD IAN I TOO AM A STATE GEOGRAPHY BEE FINALIST. This thread is gold.

And wow, bnw, there's something about that picture that's a little, I dunno, "I was very nervous about approaching Ray Charles, but he was happy to pose for this snapshot."

― nabiscothingy (nory), Thursday, 2 June 2005 00:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I am impressed. I salute your geographic genius.

I'm sure there are as many differences as similarities here though. It only really came to mind when Anna mentioned it once.

-- Matt DC

I'd forgotten I said that until now. It's a compliment. I'm extremely fond of both of you.

fuck a geography bee
