    I had one customer claiming to be Linda Hamilton once to get better service. Now granted she did look a bit like her, but Linda doesn't have a Fran Drescher-like nasaly twang to her voice...this woman's voice could cut glass.

    I also know she wasn't Linda Hamilton since my family knows the Hamilton Family quite well. They should, my family lived two houses down from them in Pocomoke Maryland.

    I know she's listed as being born in Salisbury (2 towns north) but at the time anyone in Pocomoke was transported to Pennsula General Hospital (now Pennsula Regional Medical Center) for delivery...just like I was.

    I never had the pleasure of meeting her myself, but my grandmother pulled either Linda or her twin sister's tooth out. She isn't sure since she never bothered to figure them out, she would just holler "Twinnie" and they both came running. Linda and my Mother went to school together and were playmates.

    Hell I can even lay claim to being one of the few people to see Linda naked. Granted it was a picture of her, her sister and my Mom at a very young age running aroud in the sprinkler in the raw.

    I tripped her up by asking "Really!? Then you remember my mom, [insert my mother's first and new last name]?" She then went off on how she talked to her in an e-mail recently...blah blah blah.

    Then I had some fun. "First of all, my mother has been married twice since Linda last saw her. She hasn't heard from Linda since the day she moved from Pocomoke to Salisbury. Her name may have [middle name] in it but she never went by either her first or her middle name and went by "T". And as the final note, The last time they ever heard from each other was YEARS before the rest of the world knew what e-mail was. Thank you for playing, that'll be $300 for the new motherboard, hard drive and installation."

      Anniston? No. Sharapova? Vaguely. Personally I think you look more like (and please don't hit me for this, just an opinion) a more wholesome Tara Reid. Or maybe even Amy Smart.

      Me:

      I see a bit of a resemblance, but....ehh

      Ok, ok...I had to google Tara Reid and Amy Smart to figure out who they were lol.

      Tara:

      Amy:

      Alright - I'm assuming Tara is a porn star, which is why you said not to hit you?? Lol - I see some resemblance. I see more with Amy Smart though. Gah....celebrities!! Lol.

          Haha aww thanks For a week or two, customers would tell me I looked like her almost every day. After the 2nd time, I went and looked her up. It's good to know who you're being compared to lol.

            Last I checked, she hadn't done any porn, she was the blonde in American Pie, and is now apparantly a world renowned party girl.
            The only words you said that I understood were "His", "Phone" and "Ya'll". The other 2 paragraphs worth was about as intelligible as a drunken Teletubby barkin' come on's at a Hooter's waitress.

              Ah. She looks like a porn star lol. Oh well, party girl = essential porn star in my book. Well, they look the same at least.

                The ex husband used to insist he looked like Richard Dreyfuss. I couldn't see it, myself.
                I've actually been told myself that I look like him, but most people don't know who he is.

                  Richard Dreyfuss was the rich guy in....oh crap I can't remember the name of the movie with Julia Roberts - classic movie. Umm...not My Girl. Pretty Woman! That's it. Duh - mom's favorite movie. They were also (relatively) recently in another movie together, right? Runaway Bride?

                    I don't think I look like anyone, though everyone thinks I look like I'm in the military.


                    I kissed Jessica Andrews (the country singer http://www.jessicaandrews.com/) at one of her concerts once. My buddy and I held up signs at the end of her sign "Do you want to Kiss" saying "I want to Kiss" or "Kiss me Please" so she called us on stage and kissed us.

                    Don't believe me? That's fine, nobody else did/does either.

                      Are you thinking of Richard Gere?

                      Richard Dreyfuss has been in CLose Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, and Mr. Holland's Opus to name a few.

                          I love that movie too, and that was filmed not too far from here. A well known (crappy) furniture salesman was the parade caller in the movie

                            When I think of Richard Dreyfuss I always think of his role in Jaws.

                              A few years ago, I friend of mine organized a free outdoor rock festival and asked me if I would volunteer to give some help. I accepted and was assigned to the backstage security.
                              We had rather strict orders that nobody without a proper badge, including police officers, should be allowed to penetrate the backstage.
                              At some time, a small guy with a large hat accompagned by a large and impressive black guy arrive at my gate. I ask to see their badges. The small guy, instead of showing his, looks intensively at me. I repeat again that I need to see their badges to allow them in. But in the back of my head, I was thinking that I had already seen that guy...
                              The small guy continues to look intensively at me, and I notice that his eyes do not have the same colour. Bingo ! It was David Bowie (who was not playing in the the festival) and his bodyguard that were paying a visit to another group they had just watched "incognito".
                              As soon as I recognized him, I let him go in and he gratified me with a large smile and a thanks.

                                First of all, I have to say...Mr. Holland's Opus is a killer flick.

                                Secondly, Giraffe, the reason I said not to hit me was Tara Reid is known for being a party girl, or as I refer to her, one of Hollywood's welcome mats.

                                The picture of Sharaparova did not come out on my computer, but I know well enough what she looks like....I think of the ones we have discussed, you look most like Amy Smart (and I didn't look that up...her name just jumped into my head when this discussion started), but somehow I think there is someone else that you look like that I just can't quite place.

                                Ahhhh, crap, I hate when this happens.

                                Anyway, considering the women you are being compared to, I wouldn't worry too much...seems like you are in good company!
