The Texas Doppelganger

[GL]

I went to Hooter's for dinner last night with my brother. The Hooter’s girl has seated us and I begin my usual visual scan and analysis of the clientele in the joint. What cute looking frat boy or handsome older guy will catch my attention tonight?

At my 1 o’clock is a vision! He’s breathtaking! He’s tall, about 6’ or 6’01” and of a thin build. His hair is closely trimmed and of a light brown color. Then he turns and looks around… and my heart skips. All that was missing were a pair of glasses. He looked none other than Brijan!

My brother stops talking and looks at me, “Is something wrong?”

“Uh… No. I just thought I saw someone I know.”

I think it's already been established that every Friday night, Brijan flies down from Toronto to go to Hooters.

 

[mega]

^Yeah, everybody knows that...

 

[belamy]

Everybody knows Brijan´s looks are vey common

Well shit. I never got that memo.

 

[Brijan]

Should I mention that I recently bought my first pair of contact lenses?

 

[belamy]

Does that mean that you use them?

 

[GL]

Should I mention that I recently bought my first pair of contact lenses?

So you've been hanging around in Texas Hooter's and never said anything to me?

I'm hurt...

 

[Brijan]

who is Brijan?

I am Brijan.
(My galleries are closed, still; but should be up soon...)

By the way, GL, next time, snap a pic.

 

[belamy]

who is Brijan?

Imagine an over six feet tall blondish mixture of gnome and elf living in Toronto, posting on JUB and haunting the deepest desires of our local Green Lantern and you get a Brijan.

Has anyone here ever seen someone else who looked like themselves? It's happened to me several times... and it was always while I was driving a car, unable to stop or slow down with traffic around me, and each time, the other person saw me, too, and we stared at each other in surprise. I've even had one person wave his hand at me. It's always a strange feeling...

There was a Polish film that came out about 15 years ago called The Double Life of Veronique, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101765/ and there's a scene where the two Veroniques catch a glimpse of each other, one while standing in a town square, and the other on a bus as it was making a turn, and for a few seconds, the two women, try to keep their eyes on one another as the bus turns... It's an eerie scene...

Actually, there are two instances. When I was 11 years old, I had a good friend who when we were playing together people would ask if we were twins. Neither of us ever saw the similarities, but our parents and our teachers would always make mention of the resemblance.

The other instance is rather odd. There is a brilliant mini series called Kingdom Come by Mark Waid with artwork by Alex Ross. I am the biggest Alex Ross fan on the planet and follow his work. If you are reading Kingdom Come, on page 206, there is a scene where Clark Kent, Diana and Bruce Wayne are sitting in a superhero themed restaurant. In the frame there is a group of men dining directly behind them. There is one guy with glasses who appears at Bruce's right shoulder. This person is the spitting image of myself. When I first saw it I was floored. Everyone who knows me and has seen this work has asked me how in the hell I got into a comic book.

I´ve been told several times by different people that I looked a lot like some other guy... that´s that

By the way, GL, next time, snap a pic.

No sir. If you've been coming to Hooter's here in SA and didn't tell me all along? I think I shall avoid you. The "cold shoulder" as it were.

 

[GL]

Did Brijan look anything like he does in his avatar?

If you are referring to his current avatar? The weird thing is the guy at Hooter's was wearing a light blue t-shirt. But I understand that the backside in his avatar is not his own.

I thought it was well-known that Brijan flies to Texas regularly for his Botox injections. That's why his skin is so supple even at sixty.

 

[belamy]

^ That´s ridiculous, why doesn´t he just cum on his own face four or five times a day?

 

[GL]

^I can never figure out those things Brijan puts in his avatars!

Generally, its a variation on this character:

Exactly. Rediculous!

Brijan, stop flying to Texas and hang/duel with me in A^2, Michigan.

This is weird

A few weeks ago (before my vision got f**ked up), I saw this really hot looking stud in a Green Lantern t-shirt with the ring logo on the front.

I must have been super gawking cause the guy came up to me and asked what was the matter.

So I started babbling about this dude I know from the Internet who's this big Green Lantern maven and yadda, yadda, yadda.

So they guy in the t-shirt laughed and said there was more than one Green Lantern fan out there.

But, GL, what were you doing in Manhattan on Wednesday, May 31, at 10:00 PM?

Wow! Well Haze, I can assure you that that was not me. I do own a shirt like that one though. Look here.


Now, if I was lucky enough to end up in NYC, I would mention it here on the boards in the hopes of meeting you and any other JUBer in the city.
