Why Is There No Bizarro ILX0R Sightings Thread?

Like last weekend, I saw the bizarro Alex in NYC in Brooklyn Heights, a haggard guy pushing a baby carriage, wearing a Green Day t-shirt.

I think they've been incorporated into the regular ILX0R sightings threads.

A Green Day shirt? Please. Good Charlotte, Limp Bizkit or Destiny's Child, nothing else will do.

Like the time I saw Bizarro RJG at a hipster diner.

Why Is There No Pizarro ILXOR Sightings Thread?

The Glasgow FAP Monday massive saw a bizarro Ned Raggett. On Monday. In Glasgow. In a pub. Well, he had long hair and no sideburns.

(have other people been posting lookalike sighting on the random ILXor sightings - I did when I passed alternate versions of Matt DC, Tuomas and someone else a couple of weeks ago)

Good god. Considering I'll be there on a Monday soon enough, this is a mysteriousness.

Maybe there was a wrinkle in time!

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

To hell with that, why I am still here at work then?

I actually have a musician doppelganger. I don't know much about him, but apparently he's some sort of jazz guitarist who plays in a talk show. Random people on public transport have talked to me thinking I was him. Anyway, the dude's name is Marzi Nyman. One time I was riding the tram home, and this drunk Finnish guy stepped in with a well-dressed foreign man. It seemed like they had only met a while ago. The Finnish guy was talking with the foreigner about Finnish art, and his English was rather bad. He asked the foreigner whether he knew any Finnish composers. The foreign guy said he knew only Sibelius. The Finn then spotted me on the back of the tram, pointed me to the foreigner, and said with his loud drunken voice: "Marzi Nyman! Famous Finnish composer!". I was like, "No no!", but the guy just kept on repeating "famous Finnish composer!", until he and his newfound buddy exited the tram.

Hmmm.

I don't think that photo gives us enough information to judge, jaymc.

I think he was bald at some point and had the same sort of glasses like me (plus he has the same beard). Apparently people don't need much for misrecognizion.

But where's the telltale Scandinavian babe-friend?

― k/l (Ken L), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

A friend of mine actually suggested I should start pretending I was him, and start walking into clubs past the line and stuff. I don't think I'd have the guts.

I saw a bizarro Louis Jaggerz on the subway this evening.

I saw bizzaro Ned Raggett at 7-11 last week buying a million lottery tickets.

Did not-me win?

How do I shot Google Talk?

(I Google drunk.)

Bizarro Luis was carrying some bags with some unidentifiable red and black leathercraft objects inside them, maybe magic tambourines for a Harry Potter/Iron John drum circle?

― The Redd 47 Ronin (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 00:40 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry, that was a cheap shot. I would have said hello, but I know I would have been disappointed when he answered in an American accent.

― The Redd 47 Ronin (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 01:26 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think Jagger's still around to take cheap shots at, is he?

Heard about Baran.

― Alba, Monday, 23 April 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry - didn't realise this was bizarro not bizarre.

― Alba, Monday, 23 April 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

i saw a fake bb yesterday - looked so much like him it would have been scary if not for the extra 10 or so years and british accent.

ronan and pinefox, at a b0wl13 lifestyle forum meetup

― ken c, Saturday, 9 August 2008 11:55 (seventeen years ago)

Yes!! We reproduced, unintentionally, the classic Handshake of Peace between Britain and Ireland (and our different visions of pop) first staged in Nealon's in June 2004.

― the pinefox, Saturday, 9 August 2008 13:12 (seventeen years ago)

Actually seeing CHU himself, amid so many other strangers, was just slightly bizarro. If anyone is interested, I can report that he had a string of chicks hanging on his arm or his every word, flirtatiously chatting to him and suggestively dancing with him, all night ... but they all seemed to be married or engaged. And not to him.

― the pinefox, Saturday, 9 August 2008 13:14 (seventeen years ago)

me = home wrecker

― ken c, Saturday, 9 August 2008 16:55 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah what a strange meetup! Good to see you both, shame we didn't get to chat a bit more.

four years pass...

Pretty sure I saw Ken C at the Union Chapel today to see Ex Easter Island Heads, but I don't know him so saying 'hi' might have been a little creepy.

Keep seeing flyers for The Grout Man.

Saw an actual (former) ilxor yesterday, his beard was bizarro however :)

Was up visiting my dad in hospital and in the taxi home i went past (Dr.)grimly fiendish stoating over a grassy ledge towards the carpark. Sadly we couldnt stop to shout on him. Been years since I saw him too. So I just sent him a text instead. His grey beard is quite a sight!
