ILX doppelgangers

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Call me slow, call me stupid, but i've only just realised that the posters Marcello Carlin and Markelby are in fact the same person. Same initials, variants on the same first name, one has English first name and Italian last name, the other has vice versa, both reputed to be bald and short-tempered... the clues are obvious enough.

Now I'm wondering whether there are any other ILX doppelgangers out there.

I could take both of them. Half asleep with my hands tied. Let's try it.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:23 (twenty years ago) link

Dan Perry and I both have the same dashing good looks, peerless artistic sense and generally right vision of the world.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:26 (twenty years ago) link

@d@m just wants to be tied up. sicko.

― Huk-L, Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:26 (twenty years ago) link

apparently, i look like Tep & Mr Teeny.

It was recently determined that jel and bnw look alike!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:27 (twenty years ago) link

There was a picture of jel that looked a bit like me with glasses on.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:32 (twenty years ago) link

Ned do you think you're black?

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:33 (twenty years ago) link

not so recent though, tim h was saying that like a year ago. however, i was using my initials before jel, so we know who's copying who.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:36 (twenty years ago) link

Ned do you think you're black?

Dan and I are in fact both purple.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:38 (twenty years ago) link

Their name is Prince.

Your search - Lou Reed I wish I was black - did not match any documents.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:40 (twenty years ago) link

I have no opinion on whether Lou Reed should be black.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:40 (twenty years ago) link

If Lou Reed was black would "Sister Ray" have pre-empted Parliament?

― Huk-L, Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:42 (twenty years ago) link

I am apparently the uppercase american version of the pinefox

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 3 June 2004 15:42 (twenty years ago) link

Does that mean that Tracer Hand wishes he was black?

n. vs m. also.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:06 (twenty years ago) link

both me and ronan would regularly get accused of looking like Jamie Oliver and now don't. I don't think we look the same though but I've only seen one photo of Ronan and it's at a funny angle so who knows?

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:07 (twenty years ago) link

There's an M. now?

aw yeah where is rainy!? I don't think I am as lovably twee as she is though.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

tep and mr teeny and I should be meeting this summer, I'll take a picture.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe in a Ranma 1/2 sort of way.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

Aw now, Rainy isn't twee per se, but she is a good-hearted soul though to be sure, and definitely a sweetheart. And surely you are too!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, who's M.?

― mandee, Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:13 (twenty years ago) link

I wish I had a doppelganger.

Colin Meeder is a mixed-up made-up name based on Marcello's.

I'll dress up like Darth Maul, then.

Suzy once claimed that Tim H and I looked like brothers or father and son (I'm ten years older than him) or some such. It's not really true.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

Early on, when you were just the Mi1lar, I sometimes confused you with the Producto.

― OleM (OleM), Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:34 (twenty years ago) link

Wow I now have a horrific image in my head of the pinefox and Helltime having a lengthy conversation about their respective bands. Dear god.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 3 June 2004 16:38 (twenty years ago) link

I don't have an ILX doppelganger unless Greg Dulli is posting under another name.

God, I might as well have just said "but they don't write their own music" or "what does otm mean" right there.

I have that Ants Jive On Whiskey Tits guy, who wants to be the Peter Parker to my Ben Reilly. But we have nothing in common. He's a fan, a hanger-on, an understudy!

i wasn't sure about stealing n.'s schtick, but i've never felt so succint.

― m. (mitchlnw), Thursday, 3 June 2004 17:35 (twenty years ago) link

I get confused between Helltime Producto and that Spinktor guy. I just know that they are some sort of Tombot henchmen.

Yeah, thought not.
There went my doppel-moppel-ganger then, wah.

There is only one me, with the possible exception of my dad who has the same name and my brother who looks a bit like me.

I am staggered and amazed that someone on ILX besides me made reference to Rene Pape!

Me too. I still get gygax, geeta and gareth confused. And anyone whose name starts with a T or an N or an A, including me. Jon Williams and his catamite. Etc.

somebody on some thread said me and Jess look alike. I can't say for sure.

People were confusing me for Tracer Hand at one point when I first appeared. About as un-doppelgangery as you can get really.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 3 June 2004 23:05 (twenty years ago) link

Actually I can tell most of you apart now, which makes me sad. Time to move onto the next town, like Bill Bixby.

"Britney's breasts for Voltron" sounds like a campaign slogan.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:30 (twenty years ago) link

or a song title.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago) link

Or my favorite movie.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 4 June 2004 00:51 (twenty years ago) link

I have none apparently, as THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE Donna (unless you count Jon WIlliams as some sort of eeeeeevil reverse doppelganger)

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Friday, 4 June 2004 02:39 (twenty years ago) link

...gaz, i don't know sometimes you and colin become interchangeable. Probably BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT EITHER OF YOU LOOK LIKE!

And why can I not see mully's pics, and he not see mine? IS IT BECAUSE WE'RE THE SAME PERSON????

Well, I have never knowingly heard Rene Pape sing--though I suppose I should make the effort, since he looks disturbingly like me

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 4 June 2004 04:04 (twenty years ago) link

Ah, I was wondering what happened to Donna! Name change, then. I see. All is right. All is well.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 4 June 2004 05:41 (twenty years ago) link

I kind of imagine Colin as shorter than gaz. And I always assume gaz has scary eyes and Colin has happy ones. No idea why.

Jon is Ren, and Ian is Snagglepuss.

Tim H is in London and likes old indie and reggae, and is young, but possibly only from my old perspective. Tim F is younger and Australian.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 4 June 2004 21:14 (twenty years ago) link

What does René Pape sing, Dan?

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 4 June 2004 21:22 (twenty years ago) link

He's a bass who's done several roles at the Met as well as oratorio work throughout the world. I sang in a concert of Hayden's "The Creation" with him as the bass soloist, plus I saw him in a production of "Fidelio" at the Met.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that dude sounds like God.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 June 2004 21:25 (twenty years ago) link

Iget that comment a lot. And I don't even have to sing.

Apart from the meeting you part *all* those descriptions apply to me Daniel!

You are taller than me, Gaz, aren't you? Also, I do have happy eyes, and you have sad eyes. It's part of your sex appeal. That and the g-string.

Gaz is definitely a mole, and I am a koala or tortoise.

I suspect that this is the only time it shall ever be invoked but I call upon the powers of myself and of my m0ther to withdraw any strength of the association with M0lly or R0se or any of those chicks.

Basically if you are a DallAs coke-h3ad, I revoke thee!!

so begone, skeezers. and the rest of you. . .just say 'yeah'.

I used to get Alan and Magnus confused for, like, two years.

sgs, you look like an elongated Diane Keaton. If Diane Keaton doesn't post to ilx, I WANT TO KNOW WHY DAMMIT!

Keith, I am the Mark with whom you originally had Sinister quarrels, then we made up, then I even slept on your sofa, though I left behind my favourite cardie on the roof of a car outside your flat. You are niceness and kindness personified. How does that sound?

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 5 June 2004 22:45 (twenty years ago) link

Thanks Cindy. I knew there was a Reed song along those lines...couldn't remember it.

If we all agreed Lou Reed should be black, would that make him so?
