What fictional character do people who know you think you're most like? What fictional character do you think your significant other is most like? Later

I think the last time I was compared to a fictional character was when I was in elementary school, and it was "The Professor" from Gilligan's Island. My girlfriend is "Rosemary", from the Edison Lighthouse song. And maybe a little "Annie Hall".

My children called me Mr. Spock - analytically determined the correct answer to any question - business or personal. And I haven't changed much since then. I think my wife is really Daenerys Targaryen. Read into that what you will. Later

Winnie the Pooh.

Sam The Eagle. I never really got that, but after 40+ years there are women (and it's been passed on generationally) who still insist on calling me Sam.

My wife has made that comparison. It comes out more in your profile I think. I say, if folks think you're a raptor, lean into that shit.

I will have to think about this

Is this who people think my appearance resembles or who people think my character and/or personality resembles? Somebody in the archives thought I was a bisexual turd, but I haven't heard that one in a while.

" And whatever they used for that comparison was up to them and could have been either/or, or a combination of both. From a look-alike standpoint, People have told me I looked like (Comedian)Steve Allen, Actor Alan Alda and Senator George Mithchell (of the drug investigation fame). So, anything goes. Later

Physically, I've been called Jerry Garcia, Santa Claus, and Kenny Rogers.

At the coffee shop once, one of the servers told me that the staff had been trying to decide who I looked like. The consensus was Jeff Daniels. That would be older, distinguished Jeff Daniels, I assume, not Something Wild or Dumb and Dumber Jeff Daniels.

i've gotten a lot of clark kent back when i was younger. and one older gentlemen at work was convinced that i was the second coming of lee majors. more recently, i've been likened to hank hill, and was also assured that it was meant to be complimentary... i'm clearly moving in the wrong direction.

My wife is clearly still Allie from the Karate Kid, both in appearance and temperament. I don't know who I am, probably some amalgam of multiple "Animal House" characters.

My friends pegged me a long time ago as Ferris Bueller. Even flew to Chicago in 1986 with my girlfriend (now my wife) and did a Ferris Bueller day- the Sears Tower, the Commodities Exchange, an afternoon Cubs-Mets game at Wrigley, dinner in a fancy restaurant, all in one day, flying home late that night. Chicka-chicka. She's Diane from Cheers, except she's more competent in matters of boyfriend selection.

I've been told I resemble Bobby Brady (and some people once said Tom Glavine which I totally don;t get)
