A few years ago, one or two of Muffinheadedboy's friends said that I looked like a popular comedian named Frank Caliendo. As a person in his forties and therefore beyond the window of opportunity for being cool in the eyes of him and his friends, I didn't recognize the name. I was familiar with his work, however, as he's the guy who does the dead on impersonations of people like coach-turned-broadcaster John Madden and George W. Bush. He got his start on the MAD TV comedy show and has done quite well following up with a show on TBS called Frank TV as well as the usual comedy club and casino touring.
Here's the evidence and I'll let you be the judges. Frank Caliendo and BowlingJoe: Separated at Birth?
Finally, if anyone reading has any good Separated at Birth candidates, send them to me at jticlark@juno.com and I'll put them in a post sometime.

Sorry, not on topic, but minutes ago, Steve D from your reading group came into the bookstore and purchased the next selection. Weird how I seem to have entered your virtual life...
BTW, Frank's imitations are spot on. Now if he'd only be funny!
That's very funny, David. I'm glad he showed up. Hopefully you guys got to chat a bit. I went on-line and requested the book from good ol' Sno-Isle earlier today. I'm counting on "Birds Without Wings" being a long and complicated read since it was Robert's turn to pick. (My last one, the one we gathered for yesterday was "Blindness" by Jose Saramago).
I'm guessing the chile verde I made yesterday didn't give Steven too many spicy side effects and he was in good shape when you saw him : )
I enjoy your comments on this blog. They're a lot of fun to read and I've learned more about John Martyn, Nick Drake, etc. as a result. You know, BowlingWidow and I were at your bookstore a few months back but unfortunately it was on a Saturday and you weren't working. If we're there on a Sunday we'll stop by for sure.

Two things. One, can you do Jay Leno?
Two, Have you ever heard Jose Saramago's version of "Light My Fire"? Blind musicians just blow me away.

Bowlingagent:
1. What do you mean by "do" Jay Leno? Pervert.
2. I like the Doors' version of "Light My Fire" better.
