Evil Dopelgangers

khristle nd I aparently have a pair of evil twins in our area. They've been here for at least 4 or 5 years as far as we can tell, but we have never run in to them personally.

But we hear about them!

I went in to Tuesday Morning (a high-end clearance store) for the first time in over 5 months, and even before then I had only been in there maybe twice. But the cashier was so happy to see me! She said "Oh, so you came to get more of those toys you found the other day?" as if I knew what the hell she was talking about, and I responded "Yup!" as if I knew what the hell she was talking about.

This is not the first time this has happened. Odd ethnic folks working at Thrift Stores would approach us as if they knew us and start asking us about our baby(?), survey takers at The Mall asking us why we never e-mailed them back about playing Warhammer... it's kinda weird, ya know?

I'll admit that I'm not the most remarkable or striking fat bearded nerd on the planet (ten million strong and growing!), but I sometimes like to be silly and believe that I have at least *some* individuality to me.

After I graduated, my friends from college would tell me that when they went bowling they saw a guy they were convinced was an evil version of me. Apparently, he looked exactly like me but had a longer goatee. My friends were always hoping I'd meet him some day since they wanted to see the inevitable big fight between good and evil. For better or for worse, that never ended up happening, and Evil Luke has since disappeared.
As for you and your wife? Start wearing sombreros. They solve every problem.

you could draw sunglasses & moustaches on the bananas. Then nobody would ever recognize you.
