Yesterday, one of my freshmen came to class with his cell phone out. He said that there was a picture of some guy on the wall by their lockers that looked exactly like me. Then he showed me the picture:
HERE is Rockwell’s Wikipedia page, where you can see the picture bigger. He’s 42 in that picture – the same age as me! I think it’s freaky how much we look like each other. They always say that people have twins out there. Until now, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one for me that was so dead-on.
Ha!!! That is fantastic!! A doppelganger from the 1920’s? You couldn’t ask for better. It is quite freaky how much you resemble each other. On his Wikipedia page you can see how you’ll look in a decade.
I googled ‘moby dick’ images to see some of his illustrations and just got some serious ocean-phobia jibblies. *jibblie jibblie*
I think it’s a clever hoax. One of your student’s is good with photoshop and wikipedia.
…. and inserting unnecessary apostrophes.
When Kent died, The New York Times described him as “… a thoughtful, troublesome, profoundly independent, odd and kind man who made an imperishable contribution to the art of bookmaking in the United States.”
Will we be saying the same thing about you? Hmmm. Although, instead of bookmaking, you’ll have done blogging.
That’s creepy.
I will personally donate $5 to the “Get Brad to dress up like that and take a picture” fund. Anyone else?
Sure, I’ll dress up like that & take a picture.
No, Brad should totally take a picture like that! I’m in!
Lloyd, I figure he’ll do it anyway just because…save your $5 for some thing he’d be less likely to try. Like brussel sprouts. (Oh, wait…does Brad like brussel sprouts? Have I even spelled them correctly?!)
Come on Carol! pitch in $5.00 It will be the best $5.00 you’ve ever spent.
And if Brad does it so well that we can’t tell who is Rockwell & who is Brad…..there’ll be a bonus!
That is unbelievable! ! And cool!! How remarkable is it that he had the same talents as you too …. writing, an artist. And isn’t it odd how you like old timey clothes. Wait. I guess it was like looking in a mirror….beings you can’t see your reflection in a mirror. We’re on to you, we’re on to you Rockwell!
Can you get some DNA from his rotting corpse (wherever it is) and see if somehow you really are related? It only takes a few cells, I hear.
So, Brad, now you know what you’ll look like in your golden years.
