While reading one of Hammer's incredibly funny blogs, (Hammer being one of my favorite bloggers) I was reminded of the time in my life when people would look at me and say, "you look like somebody famous" ...and I would wonder to myself until they would say... "Woody Allen".This didn't do much for my self- esteem or boost my confidence when it came to approaching members of the opposite sex. In a disco, with the flashing strobe lights reflecting off my glasses, my short stature, my hearing defect, all combined to create the illusion that Woody Allen was indeed present. Nobody asked me for an autograph. But I did get strange looks.
In many ways I'm grateful for the onset of hair loss, anything to stop me from looking like Woody. I think he's wonderful and exceptionally funny. Deconstructing Harry, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Sleeper, Shadows and Fog, Broadway Danny Rose, Love and Death, Bananas, Take the Money and Run, Zelig, Radio Days, Manhattan Murder Mystery, are some of my favorite movies.

Those are great!
Mess up your hair a little and get darker framed glasses and you could have won contests.
Thanks for the nice remarks by the way.
Yeah I'm a fan of Allen as well. the guy has a good mixture of goofy and intelligent humor. Sleeper and everything you ever wanted to know about sex are a couple of my favorites.
The best is to look like oneself...I agree.
Woody Allen movies are the best. I think Sleeper was number one for me.
Everything You Wanted To know....didn't make your cut. C'mon the Gene Wilder sheep segment was hilarious.
BEAJ,I just forgot to mention that one, probably many more as well.
I especially liked the scene where Woody is a sperm cell.
I've been accused of the same for longer because I am older. Also, people hide their daughters because they see me coming, even though an aging person of indeterminate shape and morality is only attractive with pots of money and a sense of humour.
Many people on this blog share the sense of humour. And probably the lack of the rest.

Barista, thanks for your comment, now I know I'm not alone. Sorry that blogger wouldn't let you post a comment, it's a bug that affects everybody.
You know, there is a sub-species of female that is attracted to the smell of money. I've seen them jump into bed with ugly,fat,obnoxious guys because they drive an expensive car, no other reason. Create the illusion of wealth and you will attract them like flies to shit.
